Meditation: What most absorbs your time, your attention, and your heart? t a
In the parable of the rich man who refused to help the beggar named Lazarus Jesus paints a dramatic scene of contrasts - riches and poverty, heaven and hell, compassion and indifference, inclusion and exclusion. We also see an abrupt and dramatic reversal of fortune. Lazarus was not only poor and a beggar, he was also sick and unable to fend for himself. He was "laid" at the gates of the rich man's house. The dogs which licked his sores probably also stole the little bread he got for himself. Dogs in the ancient world symbolized contempt. Enduring the torment of these savage dogs only added to the poor man's miseries and sufferings. The rich man treated the beggar with contempt and indifference, until he found his fortunes reversed at the end of his life! In God's economy, those who hold on possessively to what they have, lose it all in the end, while those who share generously receive back many times more than they gave way. Do you know the joy and freedom of possessing God as your true and lasting treasure? Those who put their hope and security in heaven will not be disappointed.

Fall Dinner
Wellness Matters From Our Parish Health Nurse, Lisa Bohrer
Walking is a simple and inexpensive exercise that has been
shown to offer numerous benefits for bones, muscles and joints.
Wear shoes that support the arch and elevate the heel slightly.
Warm up by walking at a normal pace for five minutes then
boost your pace so your heart beats faster and your lungs
breathe deeper. While walking, swing your arms; keep your head up, back
straight, and abdomen flat. Cool down by walking at your warm up pace for
five minutes and do gentle stretching after your walk.
FLU SHOTS | All Flu Shot Clinics will be held After Mass

Thomas More
In a new landmark exhibition, God’s Servant First: The Life and Legacy of Thomas More, the Saint John Paul II National Shrine in Washington, D.C. presents the life, martyrdom, and legacy of the 16th century English
philosopher-statesman whom Pope John Paul II named the heavenly Patron
of Statesmen and Politicians. The exhibition also explores the connection
between Thomas More, the Carroll Family of Maryland, and the
foundations of religious liberty in America. It features over 60 artifacts from England and the United States, including numerous period objects
from Stonyhurst College in the United Kingdom that have never been exhibited in the United States.
The exhibition runs from Sept 16, 2016 -March 31, 2017 and is sponsored by
the Knights of Columbus and The Christian Heritage Centre at Stonyhurst. The Saint John Paul II Shrine is located
at 3900 Harewood Road, NE, Washington, D.C.
