Certainly the idea of "getting by with a little help from God" goes back at least to the first reading today from Exodus. How we get that help, however, is the key to this weekend's scriptures. No matter how inadequate Moses felt to the task God had given him, he persevered--even though he needed help from the people around him. The Israelites especially depended on God for freedom. The woman in the Gospel, desperate and destitute, had no one to depend on, but still she would not give up. She could not afford to bribe the unscrupulous judge, but she pestered him into weariness until finally he met her demands. We sometimes need to turn to others to help us through difficult times; but if we always turn to God, we won't be disappointed, for our help, the psalm assures us, is from the Lord.

The crooked judge just wanted to get that widow off his back. She was lucky her adversary didn't pester the judge, too; he might have gone the other way. So we can pray to God with even more confidence, because we know that God loves us and will answer our prayers. St. Paul carries that theme of perseverance even further. He is not just talking about prayer here; he encourages Timothy to persevere in proclaiming God's word as well. That command we may find more challenging than prayer. He tells Timothy (and us!) to "convince, reprimand and encourage through all patience and teaching" (2 Timothy 4:2). How can we do that? "Convince" reminds me that our faith should be reasonable. Not that we can prove all that we believe in a scientific way, but our faith should be realistic; after all, God made the world, so God should know how it works. Jesus' command to love one another, for instance, can be taught much more convincingly by giving examples of love. A mother who hugs her child when he is hurt, forgives him when he is sorry, and encourages him when he feels lost is teaching that command in a way that will be remembered much longer than just telling him to love people. So we can convince others of our faith by showing them examples of love, forgiveness, and encouragement. Paul also talks about reprimanding each other. That may be what he was thinking when he says that proclaiming the word can sometimes be inconvenient. Most people find it difficult to reprimand someone they are in charge of, much less one who is equal in status. That's where patience comes in. A reprimand can be made patiently and gently, as a sign of concern rather than authority. Paul lastly mentions teaching. He probably was referring to teaching the Hebrew scriptures and how they were fulfilled in Christ. Parents can do their part by teaching the stories from the Bible, helping children to see God in creation, teaching them to pray, and being good examples of God's love for them. If you send your children to religion classes or the parish school, do what you can to support the teachers so that what the children learn at school is practiced at home. What the children see (or don't see) at home has a much greater effect than a few hours a week in a classroom. Tom Schmidt, Copyright (c) J. S. Paluch Co.

My help is from the LORD, who made heaven and earth. -- Psalm 121:1-2 29th Sunday in Ordinary Time “God will secure the rights of his chosen ones who call out to him.” Luke 18:1-8 Faith Formation “Prayer: The Faith Prayed” We conducted the blessing of the animals on Saturday, October 8th at 3:00PM. Fr. Joseph blessed 1 chinchilla, 2 fish, 5 birds and large selection of small and large dogs. Surprisingly, not one cat chose to participate . . . maybe next year. We prayed the pace prayer of St. Francis since all of the animals were so “peaceful”! Thanks to all who came and to Mrs. Reilly for taking the lovely pictures that are posted on Facebook. The children have been reminded that they must have their “church bulletins” signed by a member of any ministry to validate their participation at Sunday Mass! The signed bulletins are to be given to their catechists. I hope the time change for the Children’s Mass (9:00AM) makes worshipping at Mass together as a family more “convenient”.

We were able to help about 200 children start the school year with new backpacks, markers, notebooks, pencils and much more. We distributed supplies from mid-August through the beginning of October. Without the help of our parishioners and neighboring parishes, this could not have been accomplished. Please keep us on your shopping list so we can continue our work of helping the families in need. Thank you, thank you, thank you!! Lucy and the Volunteers Next Sunday, World Mission Sunday, our Holy Father, Pope Francis, calls every Catholic to celebrate at the Eucharist, our vocation to be missionary and to help the Missions. As Catholics around the world, here at home and in the Missions, gather at the Eucharistic table, let us pray for the Church’s worldwide mission and offer financial help through the Propagation of the Faith for more than 1,150 dioceses in Asia, Africa, Latin America and the Pacific Islands. Thank you for your generosity. BULLETIN REFLECTION Today’s theme is perseverance - Moses keeping his hands upraised throughout the battle, Paul urging Timothy to stay with the task of preaching and teaching, and the widow appealing to the corrupt judge. To be faithful stewards of God’s gifts, we must persevere in the roles of which we are called. LIVING STEWARDSHIP We are grateful this week for all stewards in our parish who seek to discover their own individual gifts and personal vocation/role in this life. 29TH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME In the Gospel today Jesus tells his disciples to pray always without becoming weary. Indeed our prayer must always be an expression of our love for God, our family, our world, and especially for the suffering poor. As you place your gift in the Society of St. Vincent de Paul Poor Box, please say a special prayer for the poor who have no one to pray for them.
