is developed in children, and how to answer challenging

10:30am and 7pm. Class will meet in the church and last
no more than an hour and a half. Everyone is invited!
PEN PALS FOR PRISONERS NEEDED
Have you ever wondered how you could fulfill Christ’s
call in Matthew to visit those in prison without ever
leaving the comfort of your own home? Well, you easily
can…and then you too will hear Jesus say to you: “Inherit
the Kingdom…for I was in prison and you visited me.”
[Matt 25:34-36]. The Chattanooga Deanery Pen Pals for
Prisoners Ministry is growing and we now need more
volunteers to correspond with new inmates who have
requested a pen pal. We currently have 31 pen pal
volunteers (including 10 Hispanics) and 42 participating
inmates (including 9 Hispanics). Training is provided to
share this unique way to minister to inmates. For more
information, contact Deacon Tom McConnell at
[email protected] or 209-5485, or Emily Knoch
at [email protected] or 785-6156, or Irene
Scoggins at [email protected] or 596-0053.
ANNUAL BAKE SALE

St. Jude Parish’s annual Bake Sale to
benefit Catholic Charities is coming up

Jude Parish will celebrate a Mass of
Remembrance for all parishioners who
lost loved ones this past year. If you did not receive an

are nevertheless warmly invited to participate. Please call
the Parish Office by Tuesday, November 4, to RSVP. If
you would like to bring a dish to share for the luncheon,
call Kyra Ross at 870-2386.
NOTES FROM OUR KNIGHTS
“Vote Yes on 1” Signs - The Knights of Columbus have
"Vote Yes on 1" signs available in the vestibule. Please
take one (or more) and display in a prominent place.
Transportation to Polls - For any parishioner who does
not have transportation to vote in the current election, the
Knights will provide a ride to early voting during
October 20-30. To accommodate scheduling, please call as
early as possible: John Feurer at 598-1620.
Living Rosary - All parishioners are invited to participate
in a Living Rosary sponsored by the Knights of Columbus
and the Legion of Mary. The rosary will be in the Parish
Life Center on Monday, October 27, at 6pm and will be
followed by a pot luck dinner. If you have ever counted
the beads on your rosary, you will notice that there are 60.
It would be great if there could be one person there for
each bead! Bring your family and pray with us.
BEREAVEMENT MINISTRY HELP NEEDED
Parishioner Pat Copeland has volunteered for more than
20 years in our Bereavement Ministry, and she is ready
to pass on the torch to someone else. Pat is responsible for
mailing condolence cards to the next of kin at the time of
death and follow-up cards one year later. This is the
perfect job for someone to do from home and takes no
more than one hour per week. All supplies and training
are provided. Call Kyra to participate in this fulfilling
ministry of love and support to our parish family.

and the world in which they live. Your donation helps
with their ongoing formation and education, which costs
approximately $110,000 each year. Please be generous in
supporting the permanent Deacons of our Diocese.
Make a Valentine's Date with Chatti Gras - February 14,

tuition assistance to those in need. This fabulous dinner,
dance, casino, and auction brings together generations of
our regional Catholic family to celebrate and enjoy.
Information on tickets, sponsorship, and donations will be

depend on tourists, have been greatly affected. Sales of
these goods will help them very much and also give you
the opportunity to have something authentic from the
Holy Land. Please browse and buy if you can. It is for a
good cause and also a help to your personal devotion. Go
to www.bcfmission.com for a preview of the many
products being offered.

designed to help the couple gain a better understanding of
the joys and challenges of living the sacrament of
Matrimony in their day-to-day lives. Cost is $135 per
couple, and the retreat certificate is good for a $60
discount on a marriage license. The Retreat runs 7-10pm
on Friday evening and 9am to 6pm on Saturday. Meals
and Mass are included on Saturday, and each couple must
attend the entire program to receive their certificate.

A WORD FROM BISHOP STIKA
ON AMENDMENT ONE
One of the great privileges of living in a democracy is the
right of its citizens to vote. Although the Catholic Church
will never identify itself with any political community or
system, we can and must speak up in support of moral
issues. One such issue that we as Catholics will have an
opportunity to vote on November 4th is Amendment
One. This amendment is neither a Republican nor a
Democrat issue, but a moral and life issue of greatest
magnitude. A yes vote on Amendment One, a prolife
amendment, would neutralize the extreme interpretation
taken by the Tennessee State Supreme Court in 2000 in
which they declared that our State Constitution
guarantees the right to an abortion. Passage of this
amendment would restore back to the voters the “life”
decisions that were taken from them by the state court
decision. For this reason, I and my brother Bishops in
Nashville and Memphis wholeheartedly ask for your
support for “life” by voting for “Yes on One” this
November 4th.
HALF-PRICE SALE FOR SENIORS
The Greater Good Thrift Store will hold its
next “Half-Price Sale for Seniors” on
Tuesday, November 11, 10am to 4pm. Items
covered by the sale include jewelry,
housewares, small appliances, and clothing.
Donations of funds or household goods may also be made
at 2821 Rossville Blvd, just off I-24 in Chattanooga. Store

Refleccion Sobre La Palabra De Dios
“Amarás al Señor tu Dios...” El deber primero y lo mejor
que hay en nosotros debe ser para Dios que nos ha dado
la vida, ha salido a nuestro encuentro haciéndose
Hombre, perdona una y otra vez nuestras ofensas y
olvidos, y se ha quedado con nosotros y como alimento
en la Eucaristía. La Sagrada Escritura equipara la
solicitud de Dios por nosotros a la de una madre por su
hijo. “¿Puede la madre olvidarse del fruto de su vientre,
no compadecerse del hijo de sus entrañas? Pues aunque
ella se olvidare, yo no te olvidaría” (Is 49,14-15).Dios se
muestra a sí mismo, como aquel que estará siempre
atento a las necesidades de su pueblo (Cfr Ex 6,2-8).
Ese amor de Dios por cada uno que se remonta a la
noche de los tiempos y culmina en la prematura noche
del Gólgota, donde Jesús lleva a cabo lo que le aseguró a
los suyos: “nadie tiene amor más grande que el de dar
uno la vida por sus amigos” (Jn 15,13), está pidiendo a
gritos algo más que un aguado interés por nuestra parte.
Hay que acorralar al amor propio y a la comodidad y
decidirse a caer de rodillas ante este Dios bueno,
paciente y tenaz, afortunadamente inevitable. “Amarás al
Señor tu Dios con todo tu corazón...”.
Es preciso sacudirse la tibieza. “Eres tibio si haces
perezosamente y de mala gana las cosas que se refieren
al Señor...” (San Josemaría Escrivá, Camino, 313).
Preguntémonos: ¿En qué pienso habitualmente o cuál es
el motivo profundo de mi actuación? ¿En mi comodidad?
¿En mi prestigio? ¿En el qué dirán? ¿En mi salud? ¿En
mi sensualidad o en mi soberbia y vanidad heridas?
“Conozco tus obras y que no eres ni frío ni caliente.
¡Ojalá fueras frío o caliente!, mas porque eres tibio...,
estoy para vomitarte de mi boca” (Ap 3,15-16). La
tibieza es tan desagradable a Dios, que le produce
náuseas. ¿Merece esta respuesta ese Dios que nos ha
creado a su imagen, libres, y constituye ese arcano capaz
de colmar las aspiraciones humanas? ¡Que nos conste!
¡Que nos lo repitamos en esas ocasiones en que se está
fraguando una resolución poco generosa: Dios no se
merece eso!
“El segundo es semejante a él: ‘amarás a tu prójimo
como a ti mismo’”. Estamos invitados a querer a quienes
nos rodean “con obras y de verdad” (1 Jn 3,18) “pues
quien no ama a su hermano, a quien ve, no puede amara
Dios a quien no ve” (1 Jn 4,20). Este amor hecho de
servicio afectivo y efectivo se podría concretar en
decenas de incidencias diarias: Ese hablar sin herir, por
ejemplo. La sonrisa a tiempo que desdramatiza una
situación. La paciencia y la serenidad en las horas
difíciles. El buen humor en los momentos de tensión. El
no querer tener siempre razón... ¡Y tantos detalles más!
Toda invitación a amar a los demás puede parecer lírica
y vaporosa ante la sólida realidad de los conflictos
familiares, laborales, académicos, sociales, políticos...
Pero esta impresión está lastrada por una falta de sentido
cristiano que no ve a Dios en los demás, o que trata bien
tan sólo a aquellos que le aprecian y le tratan bien, esto
es: que busca una recompensa humana y no la promesa
divina. Recordemos que el amor es la razón suprema de
todo lo que en este mundo existe de bueno y grande, y
que S. Pablo asegura que, quien ama, no morirá jamás
(Cfr 1 Cor 13,8).
Mensaje del Obispo Stika por el Mes del Respeto a la
Vida:
Queridos hermanos y hermanas en Cristo: Cada mes de
octubre celebramos el "Mes del Respeto a la Vida", un
momento en el que reflexionamos más profundamente
sobre la santidad de la vida, desde la concepción hasta la
muerte natural. Oramos por los débiles y vulnerables, por
los bebés por nacer y los ancianos, por los inocentes en
el vientre materno, así como por los más culpables.
Oramos por un espíritu de misericordia y no de
venganza, por la anulación de la pena de muerte al
mismo tiempo que rezamos también por las familias de
las víctimas de violentos crímenes, para que la paz de
Cristo a través de Su misericordia y amor los consuele.
Oramos por los cristianos y las minorías en todo el
mundo, que sufren por la guerra y la persecución.
Oramos para que la Enmienda Uno y otras medidas
legislativas que reafirman un "sí a la vida" sean
respaldadas con su voto a favor de la vida. En las oscuras
nubes de la violencia, la guerra y la persecución, oren
para que la paz de Cristo reine en misericordia y amor
Queridos Hermanos y Hermanas en Cristo: Uno de los
grandes privilegios de vivir en una democracia es el
derecho que tienen sus ciudadanos a votar. Si bien la
Iglesia Católica nunca se identificará con ninguna
comunidad o sistema político, sí podemos y debemos
pronunciarnos para apoyar cuestiones morales. Una de
esas cuestiones que nosotros, como católicos vamos a
tener la oportunidad de someter a voto, el 4 de
noviembre, es la Enmienda Uno. Esta enmienda no es un
asunto republicano ni demócrata, sino una cuestión
moral y de vida de la mayor magnitud. Un voto a favor
de la Enmienda Uno, una enmienda pro-vida,
neutralizaría la interpretación extrema adoptada por la
Corte Suprema del Estado de Tennessee en el 2000, en el
que declararon que nuestra Constitución Política del
Estado garantiza el derecho a un aborto. La aprobación
de esta enmienda haría que los electores recuperen las
decisiones sobre la "vida" que les han sido arrebatados
por la decisión de una corte estatal. Por esta razón, yo y
mis hermanos obispos en Nashville y Memphis,
sinceramente, les pedimos que apoyen la "vida" al votar
por un "Sí por la Uno" este 4 de noviembre.
26 de octubre 30º Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario
Por los niños que esperan ser adoptados: que el Señor
inspire a familias cariñosas para acogerlos y criarlos;
Roguemos al Señor:
Que los católicos apoyen el respeto a la vida votando por
el “Sí” a la Enmienda Uno el 4 de noviembre, roguemos
al Señor:
