29th Sunday in Ordinary Time�

MISSION STATEMENT�

We the parish family of Sacred Heart, with the guidance of the Holy Spirit

seek to bring all to a fuller understanding of God’s love by teaching, pray-

ing, witnessing for Christ and service to one another. Through the sharing

of our time, talents, and treasures, we shall build up the body of Christ in

our local parish, deanery, archdiocese and the world.�

29th Sunday in Ordinary Time�

�

“What do you wish me to do for

you?” Whether we realize it, this is a

question God is always asking. It’s an

important question because the answer we

provide will reveal a great deal about

where our hearts lie. Our requests of God

can often appear very noble and altruistic.

They consist of requests for healing for

someone in need of prayers, successful

resolution of a personal conflict, assis-

tance in overcoming a disease and myriad

other desires for both ourselves and oth-

ers. We are especially concerned about

those we love and can easily find our-

selves bringing their struggles to God for

a hearing in our prayer.�

Is that really all that prayer is

about? The woman in today’s Gospel,

having been put in her place by Jesus, was

only looking out for the wellbeing of her

sons. She was doing what mothers do,

protecting and securing the livelihood of

her children. But she was sadly mistaken,

her request was not granted. We all make

this same misguided mistake from time to

time. The goal of prayer is not to convince

God of the worthiness of our agenda or to

gain a hearing. Sometimes we believe that

the more we multiply our prayers or dis-

cover the right combination of supplica-

tions that we will receive more of God’s

attention. That’s not how it works. Even

though God desires to hear, know, and be

an intimate part of what is on our minds,

it goes much deeper.�

What we need from God is a

relationship. It’s a relationship that guides

and immerses us in the very stuff of life

and in the direction of the Gospel. This

relationship sees God’s kingdom and

agenda, not our own, as what is most im-

portant. It builds the strength of character

necessary to bring God’s Gospel into a

world that may not receive it with open

arms. It may cause us discomfort and suf-

fering. We are asked to heroically journey

with God through suffering, hardship,

ridicule, and even death! Ultimately, our

desire from God must become our desire

for God. It is only when this happens that

the powerful words “thy will be done”

will be found with sincerity and humility

on our lips. Whatever God wishes be-

comes what we wish as we see this glori-

ous union of wills. Our humble lives will

then become powerful witnesses, and

what happens to us in God’s eternal king-

dom the result of his mercy. We become

true servants and find ourselves discover-

ing God’s definition of success. That defi-

nition has nothing at all to do with status,

income, or privilege. �

Staff & Parish Info�2 Greetings from the Pastor�

�

As I was looking on, there fell a yellow leaf to the ground. There

were many more on the tree, ready to fall down. But most were

green. As the yellow leaves embraced one another with tears,

promising one another to meet in the near future somewhere on

the ground, green leaves scornfully laughed at the older leaves

who had had their share of time, now ready to fall down. The

green leaves thought they would stay always green, that their

youthfulness would never fade. They thought that once the yellow ones are

gone, they would rule the land; they would dictate terms, and they would shade

and protect men and beast under the shade they cast. �

Days went by. The green leaves felt changes in their bodies unexpected-

ly. Their gait was different from before; their color was failing; youthfulness

was vanishing rapidly. Their smile began to fade. And one day, they saw them-

selves old and feeble. There was no green in them anymore. They coughed and

puffed; swayed in the wind as if to fall soon. They were struggling to hold on to

the trunk. Even at this point, though they swayed in the wind, they were beauti-

ful. People praised their beauty, and ladies captured it on their cameras. �

Eastern wind swept by. The leaves, once young and green, that scorn-

fully mocked the yellow leaves, fell one by one, not being able to resist the

force of the wind. As they fell to the rugged ground beneath them, those that

had fallen already said, ‘welcome to the ground reality.’ There they waited for

their further misfortune. Someone would come and gather them; then, set them

on fire. People will never again remember them. The world will go on and on. �

Nothing is permanent on earth. ‘Beauty is vain and charm is deceitful’

says the Scripture (Proverbs 31:30). Do not be haughty and snooty at your

health, wealth, beauty or even your long living. Do not live like as if you are

immortal. Do not mock those who are less fortunate. When you are high up on

the ladder, remember rugged reality is just a few feet away. Higher you go; big-

ger will be the impact of the fall. No king has ruled the land forever. Everything

is temporary. The nature will take its turn to bring people down and to enthrone

someone else in his/her place. Though parting is painful and departure is tearful,

be prepared for the ultimate and irresistible winds of life that will sweep the

strong and the weak, the young and the old alike. Who can fathom the wisdom

of God?�

�

With love,�

NEXT WEEKEND we will celebrate World Mission Sunday. Pope Francis in-

vites the entire Church to support mission dioceses in Africa, Asia, the Pacific

Islands, and parts of Latin America and Europe, where priests, religious and lay

leaders serve the world’s most vulnerable communities. Please keep the Pope’s

missions in your prayers and be generous in next week’s collection for the Socie-

ty for the Propagation of the Faith. If you would like more information, please

�Sunday in Ordinary Time�

“For the Son of Man did not come to be

served, but to serve and to give his life as a

ransom for many.”���(Mark 10:45)�

If you held a mirror up to your life, would it

reflect God’s love and mercy?� If you are

struggling with this, try changing your attitude

from “I want more” to “thank you God for everything you have given me, I

have enough to share”.� This change in perspective will bring you joy

through service to others.� Pray daily to become less self�centered and to

become more God�centered..�

Psychics and Mediums �

Question:�

Are Catholics allowed to visit psychics? Why or why not? �

Answer: �

It’s part of human nature to experience some sense of unease and fear about the future.

This can lead some people to seek out the services of psychics or consult horoscopes or

turn to other occult practices or resources (e.g. Ouija boards or tarot cards). The Cate-

chism of the Catholic Church is very clear that Catholics should avoid such practices:

“Consulting horoscopes, astrology, palm reading, interpretation of omens and lots, the

phenomena of clairvoyance, and recourse to mediums all conceal a desire for power over

time, history, and, in the last analysis, other human beings, as well as a wish to conciliate

hidden powers. They contradict the honor, respect, and loving fear that we owe to God

alone” (no. 2116). �

Despite the uncertainties we might feel, we are called to have faith and trust in God, con-

fident of God’s desire for what is best for us. This means that we are called to surrender,

to pray and to reflect on how we can best move into the future in hope, knowing that

God is with us.�

Time Change for Neocatechumenal

Way��

Dynamic Catholic, Alive! � Servant

Leadership�

“For the Son of Man did not come to

be served but to serve and to give his

life as a ransom for many.” Jesus

turns the idea of leadership on its

head. Leadership isn’t for a few peo‐

ple. It is for all of us, we are all called

to lead. All of us have been given

charisms by the Holy Spirit to help

build the Church. And, none of these

gifts are too small or insignificant.

Leadership is not about me, it’s about

all of you. The focus should be on

how can I accompany you on your

faith journey? How can I help you

grow in love with the Holy Trinity?

You don’t have to have the title of

“chairperson” or “president” to be a

leader. Discern what you’re charisms

are and use them to lead others to

Jesus! �

EVERYDAY STEWARDSHIP � RECOGNIZE GOD IN YOUR ORDINARY MO-

MENTS�

�

What’s in it for me?�

�

I think we’ve all been guilty of looking at a situation and wondering what’s in it for us.

It doesn’t matter if it’s a particular work assignment, someone at the parish asking for

help with the mission trip bake sale, or your spouse asking if you’ll take over the gro-

cery shopping this week. Often, our first reaction to one of these requests is a heavy

sigh and the thought: “If I do this, what will I get?”�

�

Sometimes it surprises us to realize that the Apostles were no different. We tend to idol-

ize these contemporaries of Christ as giants who walked with the Savior. But in reality,

these individuals were merely human beings struggling to commit to the task of every-

day stewardship. �

�

In the Gospels, we see glimpses of them longing for praise and affirmation. We see

them jockeying for positions of power within the group of twelve. We see them expect

earthly rewards like honor and admiration. We see them acting a lot like us.�

�

But in the end, we see them transformed by the grace of God. Like all the saints, their

holiness stems from their commitment to their call. They stumble through, and as they

stumble, they keep trusting God. They keep turning to Him. They keep asking for help.

They don’t give up just because they keep failing at it. �

�

We are defined by what we give when we have no hope of being reimbursed, rewarded,

or recognized. The Apostles understood this, eventually, and they gave accordingly.

Most of them gave their very lives. �

�

Remember, they’re just like us. If they can do it, we can too.�

Have you heard His call to help others?

It’s time to answer.� Join the Society of St.

Vincent de Paul and become a Vincentian.�

�

Who is a Vincentian?�A Vincentian is a

member of the Society of St. Vincent de

Paul, one of the largest Catholic lay or-

ganizations in the world. Vincentians vol-

unteer in local communities and are from

every profession. Vincentians understand

that everything that we have�skills, tal-

ents, material goods�comes from God,

and that we are called as Christians to use

those resources to reduce the suffering

experienced by our brothers and sisters in

need, providing face�to�face contact with

those we serve.�

Vincentians believe that “no work of char-

ity is foreign to the Society,” and so each

local Parish Conference helps people in

their area in different ways�assistance

with utility bills, rent or mortgage assis-

tance, clothing, furniture, or simply prayer

and companionship.�

�

Why be a Vincentian?�See Christ in the

face of the poor and to bring the love of

God to those who are in material or spir-

itual need. You’ll grow spiritually and

make friends.�

How to join us?�Call 314�591�1717 to

St. John Paul II | Feast Day October 22�

�

St. John Paul II was born Karol Wojtyla in

the small Polish town of Wadowice. During

World War II, when the Nazis invaded Po-

land, Karol secretly studied for the priest-

hood in an underground seminary. He was

ordained to the priesthood in 1946, appoint-

ed Archbishop of Krakow in 1964, and

three years later he was made a cardinal. In

1978, he was elected the 264th

pope, where

he took the name John Paul II. �

St. John Paul II made evangelization a key

part of his papacy and made pastoral visits

to all parts of the world. In 1981, he was

shot twice in an assassination attempt. Fol-

lowing Jesus’ example of compassion, he

later met with his would�be assassin in his

prison cell, where he forgave him for what

he had done.�

St. John Paul II was well�known to be an

active sportsman throughout his life, hiking

and skiing well into his 60s. In 1992, his

health began to decline, and it was later

discovered that he suffered from Parkin-

son’s disease, a degenerative disorder of the

central nervous system. �

Near the end of his papacy, it became diffi-

cult for him to speak, and his poor health

and physical suffering made public appear-

ances difficult. Still, he continued his pasto-

ral work. He died April 2, 2005, and he was

declared blessed on May 1, 2011. He be-

came a saint on April 27, 2014. �
