Both the first reading and the Gospel today tells stories

of healing from leprosy, a cruel and debilitating disease

that was the scourge of the ancient world. It was thought to

be a punishment from God for one’s sins. To be stricken

with leprosy was not only a death sentence, but it meant

alienation from family and friends. A terrible fate.

Naaman and the lepers were cured of their leprosy, but

also restored to right relationship to God and to the com-

munity. The more important healing was not of the body,

but of the soul to God and to others.

Sin is a sickness that is far more serious an deadly than

any bodily affliction. And it is from sin that God wishes to

deliver us, and why he sent his son to healing us and re-

store us. Jesus is a doctor of souls, not of the body. And by

allowing us to suffer sickness and diseases of the body,

God often shows us how much we need his grace. Would

the lepers from today’s readings have come back to God

without first being afflicted with leprosy?

There is a reason that God allows so much pain, sick-

ness, suffering and death in the world. God can seem un-

just, but what he wants more than anything else is our faith

and our love, and he uses sickness, which is one of the con-

sequences of the world’s sin, to show us his greatness.

We so often ask God to restore our bodily health. But

what he wants even more is to restore our spiritual health.

And God knows what is best for us. — Fr. Patrick

Parent’s Prayer When Children Are Leaving Home

Gracious God,

You blessed me with the gift of this child and

entrusted me with his/her care.

Now he/she leaves this home and

begins a new life apart from me.

Surround him/her with good people,

and watch over him/her each day.

Let him/her know that I will always be near

whenever he/she may need me.

Heal any hurts we may harbor with on another,

and forgive our failings as we learn

to be in a new kind of relationship with each other.

And when the sight of his/her empty room pierces

my heart with sadness,

may I find comfort in knowing that

my child is your child too,

filled with grace and sheltered by your love.

Amen.

**CONFIRMATION CHANGES** We have made significant changes to our Confirmation

Preparation Program. The Archdiocese has asked each par-

ish to implement a two-year preparation program. Begin-

ning in 2017-18, students will be required to have complet-

ed the High School PRE-Confirmation Class PRIOR to regis-

tering in the Confirmation Class. The 9th/10th Grade curric-

ulum this year has been updated to meet the two-year Con-

firmation preparation requirement. If your student is in 9th

or 10th Grades and would like to be Confirmed at the end

of the 2017-18 school year, he/she MUST be registered in

and complete the 9th/10th Grade PRE-Confirmation Class

THIS YEAR. PRE-Confirmation Class: 9th/10th Grade

All registered students in 9th & 10th Grades have been placed in

our newly-implemented PRE-Confirmation Class.

Stewardship


October 9, 2016 —

Twenty-eighth Sunday

in Ordinary Time

Our Gospel Reading from St. Luke relates to how Jesus

healed 10 lepers. However, only one realized the full

sense of his healing and he returned to say “Thank

you.” To that gesture Jesus responds to him, “Stand up

and go; your faith has saved you.” This is another case

where something may have been lost in our transla-

tion.

The last line in its original Greek might also be translat-

ed “Your faith has made you whole,” or “Your faith has

made you well.” In any case, the point is the im-

portance of gratitude to God. How often have we point-

ed out that stewardship is a response in gratitude to

God’s blessings? That ongoing and consistent feeling

of thanks is so important.

Jesus healed 10, but only one was really completely

healed. The other nine were healed physically, but only

the one who felt the gratitude was healed both physi-

cally and spiritually. In that sense he was truly “made

whole” and “saved.”

That is the same salvation that we seek, and the key to

it would seem to be that deep sense of thanksgiving as

part of our lives and how we live them. Bishop John C.

Wester of the Diocese of Salt Lake City opened a re-

cent stewardship conference in his diocese by saying,

“Stewardship is about gratitude — recognizing what

there is to be thankful for. Gratitude is at the heart of

our faith in the Eucharist.”

Respect Life Service, Peace and Justice

Respect Life Month: October is Respect Life

Month, a time when we are especially focused on the life

and dignity of each human person. As Cardinal Dolan states

in his “Respect Life” statement, “God made each of us in his

own image and likeness. He desires to be united with us

forever in a loving relationship. God loves us, treats us with

respect, and asks us to do the same with others. Every per-

son is sacred and must be treated with the dignity they de-

serve.” Although we are called to do so, respecting all hu-

man life can be very challenging, especially when we consid-

er those who have done evil things. But we are called to

value ALL life and are commanded “Thou shalt not kill.”

Capital punishment challenges our belief in the sacredness

of all life as we consider taking a life in retribution. If our

fundamental valuing of life is not sufficient to counter our

desire for execution, here are some thoughts to consider:

Almost all death row defendants cannot afford their own

attorneys, forensic experts, medical testimony.

A case currently before the supreme court involves a

defendant’s own attorney presenting “evidence” that

defendant would repeat violence because he is black.

Death penalty states have higher crime rates than

states that have abolished capital punishment.

For every nine executions one innocent person has

been exonerated

African Americans make up nearly half of all homicide

victims. Yet nearly 80% of executions have been in cas-

es where the victims are white.

Poverty, race, geography have impact on death penalty

determination.

104 countries have abolished the death penalty for all

crimes;

25 countries carried out executions in 2015; The 5 top

executioners in 2015 were China, Iran, Saudi Arabia,

Pakistan and the USA;

“God, who preferred the correction than the death of a sin-

ner, did not desire that a homicide be punished by the ex-

traction of another act of homicide.”

-Saint Ambrose 4th Century

FORMERLY CONJOINED TWINS

START KINDERGARTEN

Rosie and Ruby Formosa were given only a 20%

chance of survival when they were born conjoined and shar-

ing an intestine. Now they are starting kindergarten.

Originally believing the girls shared an amniotic sac,

their mother, Angela Formosa, was sent to King’s Hospital.

She learned there that at 16 weeks gestation, they were

conjoined.

“I was really, really, really scared and really upset be-

cause at that point I was told that there was a high possibil-

ity that the girls wouldn’t survive the pregnancy,” she

told Sky News. “If they did survive the pregnancy, they might

not survive the birth, then they might not survive the sur-

gery. […] I didn’t prepare to bring them home.”

After they were born, doctors had hoped to give them a

few months to become stronger before performing the risky

surgery to separate them, but they discovered a dangerous

intestinal blockage. The surgery would need to be per-

formed immediately and the chance of one or both of them

dying was high. Their parents anxiously waited for good

news during the five-hour operation at London’s Great Or-

mond Street Hospital.

Their parents and doctors are amazed at how far the

girls have come; and while they may need further treatment

in the future, they are doing well and excited to be starting

school.

“When I was pregnant, I didn’t think I’d ever see their

first day at school, so it is really amazing and all, thanks to

GOSH [Great Ormond Street Hospital], really,” said Mrs.

Formosa.

Community Sunday: Thank You! Thank you to all those who participated in our Oct. 2

Community Sunday event to make Cancer Awareness Kits.

We made 110 new kits thanks to the volunteer direction

of Courtney Everard, our Parents’ Group coordinator,

Carol Szopa, one of our Health Ministry Team nurses, and

several of our generous Parish “Sewing Angels.”

Cancer Survival Kits are available in the back of church

and provide great inspiration for those enduring

cancer treatment.

Building an Emergency Kit Food Storage

Decide how you are going to prepare your

food during a power outage. Purchase/store your

food in 3 meal, 1 day units.

Choose your food according to your family’s

needs. If you don’t eat it, don’t buy it. Factors in

food choice: shelf life, nutrition, preference.

Choose foods that will provide energy. Avoid foods

that will make you thirsty. Store your food in a

cool, dry area.

If vacuum sealing or canning, follow sanitary

guidelines. Good foods to consider (approximate

shelf life): ready to eat canned meals (1year), pro-

tein bars/nuts (1 year), dried fruit/fruit bars (6

months), crackers/peanut butter (1 year). Consid-

er dietary constraints when storing food. Always

double check food before eating it. Do not allow

canned goods to freeze!

Dear Friends in Christ:

Next weekend, Catholics across the country join together

in prayer and support for World Mission Sunday. On this

day, we hold a collection to support the outreach of local

churches through priests, religious, and laity among the

poor and marginalized. Life-changing help is provided to

mission churches in territories covering more than half

the globe.

Of the funds raised by our Archdiocesan community,

91% will go to the Society of the Propagation of the

Faith, an organization that, in addition to establishing

mission churches and religious training, also helps to

build schools, provide social services to the poor, and

facilitate medical treatment for the sick.

The other 9% of the collection will go to benefit the

Catholic Near East Welfare Society, a papal agency dedi-

cated to serving those most in need while bringing the

Gospel to communities in the Middle East, Northeast Af-

rica, India, and Eastern Europe.

Your ongoing support of these organizations is vital to

missionaries serving in over 1,000 dioceses. Your gener-

osity makes it possible for local priests, religious, and

catechists to reach out to communities, families, and chil-

dren in desperate need, bringing the light of Christ to the

darkest of circumstances.

I ask that you join me in celebrating World Mission Sun-

day as we express our prayerful support for the global

Church.

Sincerely yours in Christ and Mary,

†Roger L. Schwietz, OMI
