THE GREATEST AMONG US Whom do you admire? Is it the President of the United States or a movie star or a billionaire? These are people whom the world exalts as great. Like the Pharisees in today's Gospel, they have places of honor wherever they go. Would you like to follow in their footsteps? The scriptures for today offer different examples for us to follow. Jesus tells us that the greatest among us are the servants. These are the people we are to honor and imitate. We are called to be like Paul, who worked hard to serve the needs of his communities, and Jesus, who gave his life in service to the world. Copyright (c) J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

Quo vadis‌ My Dear Parishioners: Today we celebrate the Thirty-First Sunday in Ordinary Time. Everything in our life falls into place if we never lose sight of what is to be our primary relationship and behavior: love God above all others and all else. If we keep our sight on this primary relationship, not only do our relationships with each other fall into place, but the humility that makes a disciple of Jesus is not seen as something artificially tacked on, but as the natural outgrowth of our priorities. When the order of our relationships is awry on the other hand, our life easily and quickly becomes embroiled in jealousy, power games, and other such behavior. One way the dying to self that paschal mystery living entails is apparent by being a servant of others. This puts title, position, wealth into perspective; all is at the service of the good of others. The new life we might experience by such living takes the form of others respecting us not because of title but because of the genuine goodness of who we are. The month of November is a time when we celebrate the Communion of Saints and the Commemoration of All Souls. In our Catholic Theology we venerate the saints as examples of holy living, as witness to the faith and as models for our time. Often we tend to remove these women and men from the challenges of their own time; however, we must be conscious of the fact that they too were challenged to make choices in their lives and we remember them for the life-giving choices that they have made. Our Church has consistently taught that our veneration of the saints is not the same as our worship of the Triune God, especially in the Sacraments of the Church and most notably the Holy
Eucharist. Adoration (latria in the latin) is reserved for our adoration of God. The intercessory prayer or veneration of the saints differs from our worship of God who is not contained in human form or matter. It is in this context that we are also called to pray for the Holy Souls. It is an important distinction for us to remember that we need to pray for those who have died that they may one day receive their eternal reward in the Kingdom of Heaven. This belief distinguishes Roman Catholics from other Christians. That is why we offer Mass intentions when we celebrate Eucharist. Many thanks to all those who were involved in this year’s Halloween Halls. There were a lot of smiling children racing through our parish buildings. This weekend we welcome those families who have buried a loved one in the past year. This Mass of Remebrance is one way in which we support these families in their time of grief. I am grateful to those who serve in our parish Lazarus Ministry as well as the Bereavement Support Group. These ministries are another way in which we reach out to our parishioners in their time of need with support that is rooted in our Catholic Faith. This weekend I am in Washington DC overseeing our Diocesan Pilgrimage to the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception. We are anticipating between 1,800-2,000 pilgrims from our diocese. Please remember these pilgrims and their intentions in your prayer. Have a great week. Let us remember one another in prayer. Happy Sunday. Peace. Father Jeff

A Veterans Day Tribute by the Martha Mary Guild In honor of Veterans Day, a special program presented by Barbara Schaflin, Program Co-Chair, will focus on intimate portraits of America’s military families. More than two million men and women serve in America’s all-volunteer military force, and another three million are their husbands, wives, sons, and daughters. THE HOMEFRONT, (a documentary developed by The Documentary Group, and funding provided by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, The Boeing Company, and the Steven & Alexandria Cohen Foundation), creates a series of intimate portraits – following families through the difficulties of deployment, the homecoming, and the challenges of reintegrating as a family after many months apart. Excerpts from this revealing documentary, presented by Bob Woodruff, tells stories of pride and patriotism, sacrifice, and resilience. Viewers will meet a cross-section of America’s military community: Soldiers, Sailors, Marines, and Airmen, some in the active duty force, and some in the National Guard and Reserve. Come to the Martha Mary Guild meeting - members and non- members welcomed - 12:30 in Madonna Hall, 8 November 2017. The rosary will be prayed for all veterans in the Spiritual Center Chapel at 11:30. Bring your bagged lunch at noon, and refreshments will be provided by the Guild. Share the camaraderie and build friendships with the women of the Parish.
