OCTOBER IS RESPECT LIFE MONTH LOVE ~ RESPECT ~ PROMOTE October is annually observed as Respect Life Month in churches across our nation. This provides a wonderful opportunity for catechists to teach children and youth the truth about the dignity of the human person. Human life is under constant attack in our culture today; from the moment of conception to natural death. Life is threatened because we no longer understand what it means to be human, and what our humanity calls forth from us in our responsibility to care for other persons. Respect is the acknowledgement that all human persons are made in the image of God. It is important that children learn at an early age to recognize that they are a human person because they possess a God-given dignity. This can be done by emphasizing their Heavenly Father’s love for them. “See what love the Father has given us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are… Beloved, we are God’s children now.” (1 John 3:16) Respect obligates us to revere and honor not only others, but ourselves as well. Young children can learn to respect themselves by how they treat their bodies, what they watch on television, what games they play on their iPads, what time they take to pray and thank God for His gifts to them, how they respect their parents. Older children and adults can be taught ways in which our dignity as human persons calls us to love others. Love is not an emotion, but a call to action. Our attitude should be to care for another as a person for whom God has made us responsible. They can be shown ways to care for the elderly, take part in prayer for an end to abortion, lend help to a neighbor in need or help at a food pantry in the community. These are just a few examples of caring for our neighbor. MINISTRIES, EVENTS & ANNOUNCEMENTS MINISTERIO EN ESPAÑOL Vigésimo Séptimo Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario CAMINO A RELACIONES SALUDABLES Desde comienzos de la creación, Dios tenía planeado que los seres humanos vivieran unidos llevándose bien unos con otros. Gran parte de la Sagrada Escritura nos muestra cómo hacerlo, a la vez que explica y clarifica el plan de Dios. Las lecturas este fin de semana ofrecen una guía para valorar y cuidar de nuestras relaciones humanas. Específicamente, el Evangelio se enfoca en las circunstancias de una relación que ha fallado. A diferencia de los fariseos, nos conviene no tanto enfatizar las leyes que se aplican a relaciones que fallan, sino más bien, dar prioridad a lo que en realidad Dios deseaba para nosotros. Los vínculos saludables requieren de nosotros mucho tiempo y dedicación. Ciertamente exigen confianza y honestidad. Jesús demostró un profundo compromiso con sus amigos y para con nosotros. Como un hermano, entregó hasta su vida por nosotros. Los niños se ocupan mucho de sus amistades. Ellos confían, perdonan, aman sin condiciones. Las palabras finales del Evangelio de hoy nos invitan a recibir a Jesús y a aquellos con quienes nos relacionamos, con el entusiasmo y la frescura de un niño. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

All rights reserved STEWARDSHIP REFLECTIONS “So out of the ground the Lord God formed every beast of the field and every bird of the air, and brought them to the man to see what he would call them; and whatever the man called every living creature, that was its name.” (Genesis 2:19) The creation story reminds us of two important points. First, since the start, God has put the entire world into our care. Second, stewardship has been around since the beginning of humanity; it isn’t something recently invented by the Church. Just as past generations built our Church, it is now our responsibility to continue to nurture and develop these gifts for future generations.
