NO COMPARISONS
How many times have we read or heard about someone who’s gotten into
trouble—maybe even fired from a job—because of a brush with the law? While
our “Christian” minds tell us to be sorry and even pray for the person, a little
voice inside our heads may also be saying, “I’m glad I would never do anything
like that.”
And perhaps we wouldn’t. But are there some things we do that are still not
pleasing in God’s eyes? Today’s readings caution us not to look so intently at
someone else’s wrongdoing that we overlook our own weaknesses and shortcomings. When we measure ourselves against the worst people we can think of,
we come out looking pretty good. There is a danger, however, in using someone
else’s behavior as a way of reflecting our own goodness.
TODAY’S READINGS
First Reading — The LORD is a God of justice who hears the cry of the oppressed, the orphan, the widow, the lowly (Sirach 35:12-14, 16-18).
Psalm — The Lord hears the cry of the poor (Psalm 34).
Second Reading — The crown of righteousness awaits me (2 Timothy 4:6-8, 16
-18).
Gospel — The tax collector stood at a distance, beat his breast, and prayed, “O
God, be merciful to me, a sinner” (Luke 18:9-14).

Today is World Mission Sunday!
On this 90th World Mission Sunday, your role is critical in
reminding your parish family of our common missionary call.
We have the opportunity to change the world through merciful
acts as our prayers and sacrifices accompanying the good
works carried out in Mission Churches across the globe. This
annual gift, gathered through the World Mission Sunday collection for the Society for the Propagation of the Faith, supports missionaries serving in more than 1,111 mission dioceses, each of which fervently needs help to provide service and
spiritual comfort for the poorest and most vulnerable, sanctifying them with the Sacraments and offering the Lord’s hope and
peace.
Today we celebrate World Mission Sunday when we are
invited to support the 1,111 mission dioceses around the world.
Please keep the missions in your prayers and please be
generous in today’s collection.

A Message from our ICS Altar Servers!
I began to altar serve in 5th grade and now I am in 8th grade. I am sad to be graduating because
I won’t get to volunteer for school masses. When I altar serve I feel like I can be myself, even
though I can be a bit shy in school. I like altar serving because I can tell everyone I am
CATHOLIC AND PROUD when I wear those clothes! Showing my faith is the best thing I
can do. In my life, I feel that faith comes first, and then I can worry about other things later.
I am very proud to be Catholic. - Sophie Ramos, ICS Altar Server & Student
Getting to altar serve is a privilege because I
get to be with God on the altar. I started altar serving in 5th grade and now I am in 8th
grade. When I altar serve I feel special, but
everyone is equally as special. This year I
will be graduating, but I will still serve on
the weekends because I go to this Church as
well as this School. If you like to serve God
there are many ways to do so… you could
be a Eucharistic Minister, a sacristan and
much more. Life is short, so serve God because we all have one goal. That goal is to
get to heaven.

Trigésimo Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario
NO HACER COMPARACIONES
¿Cuántas veces hemos leído o escuchado acerca
de alguien que se metió en problemas, incluso despedido de su empleo, por un roce con la ley? Mientras
nuestras mentes “cristianas” nos dicen que nos apiademos de esa persona y que roguemos por ella, puede que una vocecita interior también esté diciendo:
“Me alegro de que yo nunca haría algo así”.
Y tal vez no lo haríamos. Pero, ¿hay algunas cosas
que hacemos que no agradan a Dios? Las lecturas de
hoy nos advierten no mirar tan atentamente a las
maldades de otros que pasamos por alto nuestras propias debilidades y defectos. Cuando nos comparamos
con las peores personas a nuestro alrededor, salimos
bastante bien. Sin embargo, hay un peligro en usar la
conducta ajena como medida para reflejar nuestras
propias virtudes.

¿DeQuésetratael“DomingoSacerdotal?”
El Domingo Sacerdotal, el cual celebramos en los

papel central del sacerdocio en la vida de la Iglesia.
Le invitamos a unirse a esta comunidad de fé en el
Salón St. Michael, después de cada una de las misas
a celebrarse el 29 & 30 de octubre. Celebremos juntos y demos gracias a nuestros dedicados sacerdotes por su “entrega” y los
sacrificios que hacen para
darnos sus servicio. Venga

Oración por un nuevo obispo
Dios todopoderoso y eterno,
Pastor que guías a tu pueblo.
Te damos gracias por habernos concedido a monseñor Lynch
como obispo nuestro durante los últimos veinte
años.
Confiados en tu amor durante este tiempo de transición,
creemos que, una vez más, darás a la Diócesis de St.
Petersburg
un pastor que nos inspire a ser
el corazón misericordioso de Cristo,
su voz de esperanza y sus manos de justicia.
Fortalece a nuestro nuevo obispo,
para que guíe nuestros pensamientos e ilumine
nuestro corazón
con la verdad del Evangelio,
el poder de los sacramentos,
y el deseo de servirte en todas las cosas.
Te lo pedimos por Jesucristo, nuestro Señor. Amén
