Diocesan Prayer Intention:
As we celebrate Thanksgiving weekend, we pray as a
diocesan family in gratitude to God for all the blessings of
creation: clean air, clean water, and fruitful earth – and
that we may always share the fruits of field and garden
with those who have less.

Operation Christmas Child boxes are available at the
entrance to our church. If you would like to fill a
box this year, please return the box to the church by
November 4th so that we can get them to the drop off
center in Medicine Hat in time for collection. Simply
select which gender and which age you would like to
provide this gift for and then fill it with toys, hygiene
items and/or school supplies. You can also include a
personal note or photo for this child. The following items should not be included in the box for
health and safety reasons: candy, toothpaste, damaged items, war related items (guns, knives,
military figures), chocolate, food, fruit rolls or snacks, drink mixes, liquids, lotions,
medications, vitamins, breakable objects, or aerosol sprays. Donations of $10 for each box
help to cover the cost of processing, collection, shipping, delivery, training, and resources for
this project. If you would like to provide this monetary donation as well, simply place your
cheque in the envelope provided with the pamphlet in your box. Most importantly, remember
to pray for this project and the child you have generously shopped for. Please contact Wanda if
you have any questions.

BAA 2018 - Ministries supported by the Bishop’s Annual Appeal are putting Our Faith in
Action across the diocese. Supported by your gifts to the BAA, Evangelization and Catechesis
provides support for the sacramental preparation programs and RCIA programs that are held in
parishes. Since 1984, the education and formation of our diocesan priests has been paid for
through gifts to the Bishop’s Annual Appeal. Hundreds have gone through the Lay Formation
Program, which now also includes an Aboriginal Catholic stream. Spiritual care for patients at
RUH and City Hospitals are undertaken by the diocesan Hospital Chaplaincy Office, supported
by the BAA. Youth Ministry offerings such as the Search retreat are inspiring and nurturing the
faith of young people. For more information about these and other ministries supported by
your gift, visit the Catholic Foundation website at https://dscf.ca/bishops-annual-appeal or
contact Cathy Gilje at (306) 659-5851. Every donation, no matter what the size, is important,
as we join together in faith to reach out in love and build up the church.
Next weekend is pledge weekend for the Bishop’s Annual Appeal. Please bring the
personalized pledge form you received with your Bishop’s Appeal package to Mass with you
as we join our gifts to God’s many blessings in our diocese.
Please write cheques to “your Parish” and in the MEMO line write BAA

Fight the Good Fight of Faith
*** Whoever is in Christ is a new creation; the old has passed away. Now by the “new
creation” Paul means the indwelling of the Holy Spirit in a heart that is pure and blameless, free of
all malice, wickedness or shamefulness. For when a soul has come to hate sin and has delivered
itself as far as it can to the power of virtue, it undergoes a transformation by receiving the grace of
the Spirit. Then it is healed, restored and made wholly new. Indeed the two texts: Purge out the old
leaven that you may be a new one, and: Let us celebrate the festival, not with the old leaven but
with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth, support those passages which speak about the new
creation.
Yet the tempter spreads many a snare to trap the soul, and of itself human nature is too
weak to defeat him. This is why the Apostle bids us to arm ourselves with heavenly weapons, when
he says: Put on the breastplate of righteousness and have your feet shod with the gospel of peace
and have truth around your waist as a belt. Can you not see how many forms of salvation the
Apostle indicates, all leading to the same path and the same goal? Following them to the heights of
God’s commandments, we easily complete the race of life. For elsewhere the Apostle says: Let us
run with fidelity the race that has been set before us, with our eyes on Jesus, the origin and the goal
of our faith.
So a man who openly despises the accolades of this world and rejects all earthly glory
must also practice self-denial. Such self-denial means that you never seek your own will but God’s,
using God’s will as a sure guide; it also means possessing nothing apart from what is held in
common. In this way it will be easier for you to carry out your superior’s commands promptly, in
joy and in hope; this is required of Christ’s servants who are redeemed for service to the brethren.
For this is what the Lord wants when he says: Whoever wishes to be first and great among you
must be the last of all and a servant to all.
Our service of mankind must be given freely. One who is in such a position must be
subject to everyone and serve his brothers as if he were paying off a debt. Moreover, those who are
in charge should work harder than the others and conduct themselves with greater submission than
their own subjects. Their lives should serve as a visible example of what service means, and they
should remember that those who are committed to their trust are held in trust from God.
Those, then, who are in a position of authority, must look after their brothers as
conscientious teachers look after the young children who have been handed over to them by their
parents. If both disciples and masters have this loving relationship, then subjects will be happy to
obey whatever is commanded, while superiors will be delighted to lead their brothers to perfection.
If you try to outdo one another in showing respect, your life on earth will be like that of the angels.
-A book on Christian life by St Gregory of Nyssa-
Responsory
℟. You were called to be free, but be careful not to let this freedom provide an opening for self-
indulgence.* Instead, serve one another with loving kindness.
℣. Give no offence to Jews or Greeks, or to the church of God.* Instead, serve one another with
loving kindness.
