He said to them in reply, “What did Moses

command you?” They replied, “Moses

permitted a husband to write a bill of

divorce and dismiss her.” But Jesus told

them, “Because of the hardness of your

hearts he wrote you this commandment. But

from the beginning of creation, God made

them male and female.” �Mk 10:3�6�

En Theos�

What do I tell my child about heaven and hell?

There is nothing more vivid than a child's imagination in

describing to you what heaven, hell, angels, even God

look like. The scary details are surpassed only by the

child's sincerity. Building on the things that children know is

the best way to teach them.

When families are close, especially when

gathered together for a meal or special occasion, children

feel the love, acceptance and closeness. They want to feel

it over and over, and gatherings are something that they

look forward to with excitement and joy. It is a great

metaphor for heaven, where people experience the love

and closeness of God all the time, a feeling that we want

to have and look forward to with excitement and joy.

Conversely, when we are alienated from each other and

feeling lonely and very much unloved, we experience a

little bit of what hell is like. Apart from God's love, we

feel very empty and abandoned. It is not a good feeling

and we try to avoid it. Reconciling with each other, going

to confession, and doing nice things for others helps

restore the love and closeness we desire.

Heaven and hell are best described in the context

of relationship. The closer we are to God, the more we

experience his love and peace. The further we are from

God, the more we experience isolation and loss. Those are

feelings on which children can put a face as well as build

a life.

God; never neglect Him.”

Please contact Joe Wallace at 202-3618.

Inspiration for the week

“What God has joined together.” We are all familiar with

these words. Because man and woman are essentially of the

same substance, although also distinctively different, there is

an innate desire to be connected and united. Admittedly,

marriage covenants can be extremely difficult to negotiate

and, at times, very painful to experience. But they can also

be celebrations of great union and happiness. This is proven

by couples who have been married for many years who still

have the same twinkle of devotion in their eyes that was

present on their wedding day. God designed it to be this

way. By God’s power, the two become one. This is not of

human design. The true intimacy of marriage is a Divine

Intimacy. It is a bond created by a power far greater than

any found in the two people who are joined. Marriage is

where the virtue of love is most fully expressed.

ATTENTION: There is a Lost & Found located in the Ushers

Room in back of church. If you have lost anything in the

church or hall please check to see if it is there. The box is full

and any unclaimed items will be thrown out soon.

SPIRIT LIFTERS��

October 3 � The Blessed Virgin did not speak many

words…[S]he remained, silent, in the adoration of

her Son; she lived on the contemplation of the

ineffable mystery wrought in her and through her.

Let us then live in recollection and try to remain

closely united to our Lord.�

� � �Blessed Columba Marmion�

October 4 � Holy Virgin Mary, there is none like

you among women born in the world. Daughter and

handmaid of the heavenly Father, the almighty

King, mother of our most high Lord Jesus Christ,

and spouse of the Holy Spirit, pray for us to your

most holy Son, our Lord and Master.�

� � � �St. Francis of Assisi�

October 5 � O name of Mary! Joy in the heart,

honey in the mouth, melody in the ear of those

devoted to her!�� St. Anthony of Padua�

October 6 � In a singular way [Mary] cooperated by

her obedience, faith, hope, and burning charity in

the Savior’s work of restoring supernatural life to

souls. For this reason she is a mother to us in the

order of grace.� � �Lumen Gentium�

October 7 � With the rosary, the Christian people

sits at the school of Mary and is led to contemplate

the beauty on the face of Christ and to experience

the depths of his love. Through the rosary the

faithful receive abundant grace, as though from

the very hands of the mother of the Redeemer.

� � � �Pope John Paul II�

October 8 � Divine love so penetrated and filled

the soul of Mary that no part of her was left

untouched, so that she loved with her whole

heart, with her whole soul, and her whole

strength, and was full of grace.�

� � � �St. Bernard of Clairvaux�

October 9 � Who could have given me our Lord,

but the Virgin Mary? It was easy to pray to her,

repetitious though it may seem. Saying the rosary

as I did so often, I felt that I was praying with the

people of God, who held on to the physical act of

the rosary as to a lifeline. �Dorothy Day�

Cycles of Faith


Archbishop Fulton Sheen said, “It takes three to make love, not two:

you, your spouse, and God.” Apart from the incarnation of God in

Jesus Christ, nothing speaks better of God’s incarnate love than

marriage. God designed it this way. We place great value on love

and rightly so. What we fail to realize, however, is that love, its

very presence and place in our lives, is not simply part of the human

package deal. Love comes from God. It is one of God’s greatest

gifts to human beings. When we begin to realize that our very

ability to love is sacred, it changes up how we see the essence of

life, and purpose and sanctity of marriage.

God is love. It stands to reason then that if we follow the path

of unconditional, self-emptying love we will then stumble upon God.

It is precisely this intimate wedding of God with love that gives such

eloquence and honor to the love between husband and wife. As a

living sign of Christ’s love for the Church and for humanity, husbands

and wives speak volumes of God’s unconditional incarnate love for

all of his children! The Divine power that brings unity and life to

marriage is so strong that once joined, it really cannot be

separated.

Admittedly, marriage covenants can be extremely difficult to

negotiate and, at times, very painful to experience. God’s perfect

divinity always meets our broken and imperfect humanity. God is

okay with this setup as he created it this way. Our loving is never as

unconditional as God’s and often tainted by our own imperfections,

needs, memories, hurts, sinfulness, and weakness. All of this

baggage negatively impacts even the most well-intentioned

marriages, causing them to be hurtful and empty. We are love

works in progress. God can succeed in perfecting our love only if

we keep our eyes fixed on him as the source of that love. That’s

why marriage is always about three and not just two.

The Divine intimacy at the heart of marriage is what can make

them celebrations of great union and happiness. Couples who are

still madly in love with each other after many years, still looking at

each other with that timeless twinkle in their eyes, best tell the story

of God’s oneness with humanity. Honor, celebrate, and support

those who have accepted a vocation to marriage. Living in a world

that easily pulls relationships apart, may they find hope and

inspiration from their faith companions who are on the same

journey!
