Last Sunday, October 13, Fr. Lynch concelebrated the festive open-air can-onization Mass for St. John Henry Newman at St. Peter’s Square. Fr. Lynch spoke of his admiration of Cardinal Newman (1801-1890) in a previous Sunday bulletin. The ceremony was attended by 50,000 people and over 3,000 priests from all continents. Pope Francis in his homily reflected on Je-sus healing 10 lepers but only one returned to express thanks. “Today we give thanks for this new Saint” the Pope said.
St. John Henry Newman, a convert from Anglicanism, is a model for Catho-lics and Anglicans for his holiness and humility and was a pioneer in ecu-menism. He profoundly contributed to education, society and beyond. He is truly a saint for our times.
St. John Henry Newman pray for us.

IMMACULATE HEART OF MARY OCTOBER 20, 2019
From the Pastor’s Desk From Aleteia.org (October 7, 2019), we have this article from a parent, Calah Alexander, wanting to teach her children the value of gratitude … and succeeding! Perhaps you might want to pass this on. Great food for thought.
Sometimes parental exhaustion and overwhelm can have unexpected positive results! My kids and I have developed a ritual when I pick them up from school. They aren’t allowed to say anything negative about their day until they each tell me 3 good things they experienced that day. It doesn’t have to be a major occurrence — something as simple as seeing a bluebird land on a flower in the garden, or a friend sharing their Oreos. Nor does it have to be something that the rest of us would experience as a “good.” For example, my 10-year-old Charlotte came home a few days ago elated because the boys had to run laps around the field that day, when for two weeks it had been the girls’ turn to run laps. I simply ask them to identify three things that made them feel happy that day.
Let me explain how this came about …Like most parents, I’ve been picking my kids up from school since my oldest was in kindergarten. Over the years, my ea-gerness to see my children, to hear about their days and to share their experienc-es in whatever small way I could gradually morphed into dread, then resignation. Why? Because my kids never had anything positive to share about their day. Ra-ther, from the second they got in the car until they were otherwise distracted with snacks, homework, or playing outside, they recited a constant litany of com-plaints. Every day, it seemed, was terrible. None of them had any friends, their teachers were all spiteful, their lunches were terrible (even when they packed them themselves). It was like they had been waiting all day to get in the car just so they could list all the things they hated about school, life, and the universe. It was exhausting…. I was often drained by the time I picked them up, and listening to their complaints patiently required every ounce of patience and motherly love I had left.
But once I started working, I ran out of ounces. I went from being drained when I picked them up to be-ing utterly spent. Some days, I had to fight to stay awake in the school pick-up line. Trying to muster up the patience to listen to four tales of woe was impossible, never mind finding the bandwidth to actively seek answers to their many, varying complaints. It was only when I realized the striking similarity be-tween my kids’ endless complaints and the exhausted, sometimes bitter narrative in my own mind that I understood why my kids did it — they were tired. Eight hours of school is exhausting and overstimu-lating. My kids were every bit as drained as I was, and had I myself had a captive audience, I could have launched diatribes 10,000 times longer and more bleak. But one thing I’ve learned in my years of par-enting is that “venting” doesn’t actually provide you the emotional release you’re seeking. All it actually does is fan the fires of disappointment, frustration, and resentment.
So I treated my kids the same way I had treated myself for many years — I put a moratorium on com-plaints until after a threefold greater expression of gratitude. The “three things I’m grateful for” ritual is my internal toll tax before ruminating on a single instance of injustice or rankled feelings. Since I start-ed this many years ago at the encouragement of my therapist, I’ve found that in the process of describ-ing three things I’m grateful for, the complaint waiting in the wings fades away.
The same thing has proven true for my kids. Not only do their resentments and bitterness subside after they think of things they’re grateful for, but I get a clearer picture of which complaints are real com-plaints. If they come find me later, once snacks and homework are finished, and tell me about some-thing that’s bothering them — then I know it’s something to pay attention to. It’s an inadvertent pro-cess of weeding out the trivial to find what matters. Recently, two solid years after I instituted the prac-tice, my kids have started telling me their “three good things” spontaneously. They’ve gotten into the habit of reaching for three good things to tell me. In the process, I’ve learned infinitely more about their lives, friends, teachers, and even their characters than I would have learned if I had spent these last two years listening to complaints until I couldn’t stand it anymore. Gratitude is so important for human be-ings, but it’s not an innate gift. It has to be taught and practiced. And one thing that I’m infinitely grate-ful for is that in my own exhaustion and impatience, I stumbled into teaching my kids something that will benefit them throughout their lives.
