Holy Ghost Parish Fair Thirtieth Sunday in Ordinary Time
In an ar cle on “successful aging” (New Theology Review, November, 2010), Dr. Lawrence M. Lenoir proposes that the art of giving and receiving love is at the heart of growing old gracefully. Research shows that being in a loving rela onship quiets the demons of depression and despair. So, if you want to be healthy, be loving. Jesus would agree. The rabbis of Jesus’ day argued about which was the greatest commandment of the six hundred thirteen in the Torah. When the Pharisees asked Jesus, he answered that what God wanted most from the chosen people who had been liberated from slavery and called to live in a covenantal rela onship was a return of the love God showed to them. This love has two faces: loving God totally and loving one another as one loves oneself. Loving is a contagious ac vity. If you are loved, you tend to be loving. Paul is sounding this note when he writes to the Thessalonians about how they became imitators of him and his fellow evangelizers Timothy and Silvanus, and of the Lord himself, receiving the word and living in faith, joy, and love for each other, because they believed in God’s love for them, revealed in Christ. Our love must flow outward in compassionate generosity. The Lord called on Israel to show its love by not oppressing aliens, not wronging weak orphans and defenseless widows, and not extor ng the poor by demanding interest on loans. No less is asked of those who have received the Holy Spirit and live in community with the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. That’s us. Love one another.—James A. Wallace, C.Ss.R. Welcome to Holy Ghost Church.

BLESSING OF THE GRAVES NOVEMBER 1ST AT 10:00 AM The Board of Directors of Rose Memorial Cemetery Association invite all to attend the blessing of the graves at the mausoleum at Rose Memorial Park. Deacon Nat Garofalo will preside over the blessing at 10 am on Saturday, November 1st. Holy Ghost Parish Fair:
"KEEP CALM & LOVE THY NEIGHBOR"
Lots of new and exciting attractions,
food, entertainment and more are coming to
The Holy Ghost Parish Fair!
October 23, 24, and 25 It will be a Fair to remember!
Bingo will return this year to the Fair!!!
Join the Catholic Daughters to play BINGO on Saturday and Sunday from 1pm ll 4pm in the School Cafeteria. Eucharistic Adoration
Eucharistic Adoration is the adoration of Jesus
Christ present in the Holy Eucharist. In the many
Churches that have this adoration, the Eucharist is
displayed in a special holder called a monstrance,
and people come to pray and worship Jesus
continually throughout the day. This a great way to
spend some quiet time in prayer and reflection. End
your week with some time in Adoration.
It is important that all time-slots be filled and
committed to, as Jesus cannot be exposed without
anyone present.
Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament will be Friday,
November 7 beginning at 7:30 am and ending with
Benediction at 6:00 pm.
The schedule is:
Mass 7:00 a.m. - 7:30 a.m.
Friday Morning Prayers 7:30 a.m. - 7:50 a.m.
Exposition 7:50 a.m. - 8:00 a.m.
Adoration: 8:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m.
Benediction 6:00 p.m.

2014 Bishop’s Annual Appeal Campaign For twenty‐nine years, generous Catholic parishioners in our diocese have given to support the Bishop’s Annual Appeal, helping to fund essen al ministries and programs, and extending assistance and encouragement to many thousands of our neighbors in our 12 civil parish diocese. Every contribu on is invested to meet the needs of those around us. Each one makes a difference. St. Paul stressed the importance of caring for others and their needs, indica ng our response honors the example of Jesus Christ. “Bear one another’s burdens,” he wrote, “and so you will fulfill the law of Christ.” (Gala ans 6:2). We commend the BAA as an ongoing response to that call, and invite any who have not yet par cipated in the appeal this year to do so now. Consider the concerns of others, for God knows our needs. As children of a loving and gracious God, we extend life’s blessings to others. For an in depth look at the ministries or programs supported through the BAA, visit baabr.org. Thank you in advance for your commitment to our diocese. From Roger Stromeyer, Sr. Family

Segunda lectura 1 Tesalonicenses 1:5c‐10. Evangelio Meditación sobre las lecturas de hoy Las primeras dos lecturas de hoy nos ayudan a contestar la pregunta que pudiera surgir al leer el Evangelio. Jesús, en el Evangelio de hoy, resume toda la ley judía y de los profetas en dos mandamientos: Amarás al Señor, tu Dios, con todo tu corazón, con toda tu alma y con toda tu mente, y amarás a tu prójimo como a ti mismo. Si alguien pregunta: “¿Cómo debo amar a Dios y a mi prójimo?” no hay que buscar la respuesta en otro lado que en las dos primeras lecturas. El libro del Éxodo da directrices en cuanto a un comportamiento justo con los demás. San Pablo nos dice sencillamenteque seamos imitadores del Señor. El amor que profesamos tener a Dios y a los demás debe estar igualado a nuestrasacciones. Estamos llamados a poner las necesidades de los demás antes que las nuestras. Esto obviamente está al centro de nuestra vida cristiana. Al proclamarse la palabra sagrada de hoy oremos para que se nos conceda la Fortaleza de amar a Dios y al prójimo más profundamente.
