Mr. Beau Quattrone

Principal

OPV Catholic Schools

Dear Friends in Christ:

In today’s Gospel from Luke, he speaks of being

humble. This parable of the Pharisee and the Tax

Collector in the Temple is rich with spiritual truth.

Jesus spoke often of the issue of righteousness,

pleading for us to understand our inability to be

righteous enough to attain the kingdom of heaven.

This knowledge is essential if we are to

understand His mission on earth, which was to

save sinners—those who knew they could not

save themselves. If we are truly broken-hearted

over our sins, we can be assured of God’s bound-

less love and forgiveness in Christ.

The school year is going by fast at both St.

Joseph and St. John the Baptist schools. The

end of the first quarter is upon us, the students at

both schools will have their Halloween parties this

week and Friday is All Saints Day. St. Joseph has

a tradition of having the Kindergarten and 8th

grade Mass buddies work together as they learn

about the Saints. They create t-shirts for the

Kindergarten students to wear on All Saints Day.

After Mass, the students present information and

sing songs about their chosen Saint, while

wearing their special shirts. The students begin

preparing for this special day a month

before All Saints Day. In the afternoon, parent

volunteers provide special school-wide activities

for all of the students. Students rotate through

"stations" designed to teach them about the

Saints while having fun playing games such as

"Saints Bingo." A tradition that continues at St.

John the Baptist is that during All Saints Day

Mass, students in Kindergarten to 8

th

grade are

able to dress as their favorite Saint and process

down the aisle to their seats. All students have a

brief description of their Saint if asked what Saint

they are representing. The 6

th

, 7

th

, and 8

th

grade

students work on their Saints projects in

Language Arts, Religion, and Social Studies

classes.

If you have time and would like to visit either of

our schools, please do so. All the students and

faculty at St. John the Baptist and St. Joseph

school thank you for your prayers and support, we

could not do this alone. With God’s help and

direction, our classrooms this year are filled with

students learning what it means to be saintly:

humble and thankful to God. I am very proud to

be the Principal of St. John the Baptist and St.

Joseph School and look forward to a great rest of

the school year.

God Bless,

Beau Quattrone, Principal

READING I SIR 35:12-14, 16-18

The LORD is a God of justice, who knows no favorites.

Though not unduly partial toward the weak, yet he hears the cry of the

oppressed. The Lord is not deaf to the wail of the orphan, nor to the

widow when she pours out her complaint.

The one who serves God willingly is heard; his petition reaches the

heavens. The prayer of the lowly pierces the clouds; it does not rest till it

reaches its goal, nor will it withdraw till the Most High responds, judges

justly and affirms the right, and the Lord will not delay.

RESPONSORIAL PSALM PS 34:2-3, 17-18, 19, 23

R. (7a) The Lord hears the cry of the poor. I will bless the LORD at all

times; his praise shall be ever in my mouth. Let my soul glory in the

LORD; the lowly will hear me and be glad.

R. The Lord hears the cry of the poor.

The LORD confronts the evildoers, to destroy remembrance of them

from the earth. When the just cry out, the Lord hears them, and from all

their distress he rescues them.

R. The Lord hears the cry of the poor.

The LORD is close to the brokenhearted; and those who are crushed in

spirit he saves. The LORD redeems the lives of his servants; no one

incurs guilt who takes refuge in him.

R. The Lord hears the cry of the poor.

READING 2 2 TM 4:6-8—16:18

Beloved: I am already being poured out like a libation, and the time of

my departure is at hand. I have competed well; I have finished the race;

I have kept the faith. From now on the crown of righteousness awaits

me, which the Lord, the just judge, will award to me on that day, and not

only to me, but to all who have longed for his appearance. At my first

defense no one appeared on my behalf, but everyone deserted me.

May it not be held against them! But the Lord stood by me and gave me

strength, so that through me the proclamation might be completed

and all the Gentiles might hear it. And I was rescued from the lion's

mouth. The Lord will rescue me from every evil threat and will bring me

safe to his heavenly kingdom. To him be glory forever and ever. Amen.

R. Alleluia, alleluia. 2 COR 5:19

God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, and entrusting to us

the message of salvation.

R. Alleluia, alleluia.

GOSPEL LK 18:9-14

Jesus addressed this parable to those who were convinced of their own

righteousness and despised everyone else. "Two people went up to the

temple area to pray; one was a Pharisee and the other was a tax

collector. The Pharisee took up his position and spoke this prayer to

himself, 'O God, I thank you that I am not like the rest of humanity --

greedy, dishonest, adulterous -- or even like this tax collector. I fast twice

a week, and I pay tithes on my whole income. 'But the tax collector stood

off at a distance and would not even raise his eyes to heaven but beat

his breast and prayed, 'O God, be merciful to me a sinner.' I tell you, the

latter went home justified, not the former; for whoever exalts himself will

be humbled, and the one who humbles himself will be exalted."

SCRIPTURE READINGS FOR THE THIRTIETH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME

MARÍA, MAESTRA DE FE (Tercera parte)…

Por la fe, María penetró en el Misterio de Dios Uno y Trino como no le

ha sido dado a ninguna criatura, y, como «madre de nuestra fe», nos

ha hecho partícipes de ese conocimiento. «Nunca profundizaremos

bastante en este misterio inefable; nunca podremos agradecer

suficientemente a Nuestra Madre esta familiaridad que nos ha dado

con la Trinidad Beatísima».

La Virgen es maestra de fe. Todo el despliegue de la fe en la

existencia tiene su prototipo en Santa María: el compromiso con Dios

y el conformar las circunstancias de la vida ordinaria a la luz de la fe,

también en los momentos de oscuridad. Nuestra Madre nos enseña a

estar totalmente abiertos al querer divino «incluso si es misterioso,

también si a menudo no corresponde al propio querer y es una

espada que traspasa el alma, como dirá proféticamente el anciano

Simeón a María, en el momento de la presentación de Jesús en el

Templo (cfr. Lc 2, 35)». Su plena confianza en el Dios fiel y en sus

promesas no disminuye, aunque las palabras del Señor sean difíciles

o aparentemente imposibles de acoger.

Por eso, «si nuestra fe es débil, acudamos a María». En la oscuridad

de la Cruz, la fe y la docilidad de la Virgen dan un fruto

inesperado. «En Juan, Cristo confía a su Madre todos los hombres y

especialmente sus discípulos: los que habían de creer en Él». Su

maternidad se extiende a todo el Cuerpo Místico del Señor. Jesús nos

da como madre a su Madre, nos pone bajo su cuidado, nos ofrece su

intercesión. Por ese motivo la Iglesia invita constantemente a los fieles

a dirigirse con particular devoción a María.

Nuestra fragilidad no es obstáculo para la gracia. Dios cuenta con ella,

y por eso nos ha dado una madre. «En esta lucha que los discípulos

de Jesús han de sostener —todos nosotros, todos los discípulos de

Jesús debemos sostener esta lucha—, María no les deja solos; la

Madre de Cristo y de la Iglesia está siempre con nosotros. Siempre

camina con nosotros, está con nosotros (...), nos acompaña, lucha

con nosotros, sostiene a los cristianos en el combate contra las

fuerzas del mal».

De la escuela de la fe, la Virgen es la mejor maestra, pues siempre se

mantuvo en una actitud de confianza, de apertura, de visión

sobrenatural, ante todo lo que sucedía a su alrededor. Así nos la

presenta el Evangelio: «"María guardaba todas estas cosas

ponderándolas en su corazón". Procuremos nosotros imitarla, tratando

con el Señor, en un diálogo enamorado, de todo lo que nos pasa,

hasta de los acontecimientos más menudos. No olvidemos que hemos

de pesarlos, valorarlos, verlos con ojos de fe, para descubrir la

Voluntad de Dios». Su camino de fe, aunque en modo diverso, es

parecido al de cada uno de nosotros: hay momentos de luz, pero

también momentos de cierta oscuridad respecto a la Voluntad divina:

cuando encontraron a Jesús en el Templo, María y José «no

comprendieron lo que les dijo». Si, como la Virgen, acogemos el don

de la fe y ponemos en el Señor toda nuestra confianza, viviremos

cada situación cum gaudio et pace —con el gozo y la paz de los hijos

de Dios—.

FUNERAL PRAYER VIGIL MINISTRY

The Corporal Works of Mercy are found in the teachings of Jesus and give

us a model for how we should treat all others. One of the 7 works of

Mercy is the directive to BURY THE DEAD. The OPV parishes have taken

this mandate to heart for many years in the various manifestations of care

for the deceased and their family and friends. Funerals give us the

opportunity to grieve and show others support and comfort during difficult

times. Through our prayers and actions during these times we show our

respect for life, which is always a gift from God, and comfort to those who

mourn. Two information times will be offered to explain the Ministry of

Funeral Prayer Vigil, an outreach of love, compassion and evangelization.

Anyone interested in praying at a funeral home during the time of loss of a

fellow parishioner’s loved one is welcomed. Come and learn how God can

use you to bring His love to others. Information will be shared on Wed.,

October 30 at 1:00 pm in the St. Elizabeth Room at St. John the Baptist. A

second information time is scheduled for Monday, November 4 at 1:00 pm

at St. Joe’s Church,Verona. For more information call Peg at 412 795-1281.

simply find their hosts in the sacristy before Mass in the mini-

refrigerator and place in a pyx and set on the tray or the altar so that

they are consecrated by the priest during Mass. The priest or another

minister who stands where the priest usually stands will then distribute

them when coming forward for Holy Communion.

FEATURE OF THE WEEK: Galileo, Science & Faith

This booklet explains the facts of the

Galileo case and traces the subsequent

development of the myth that the Catholic

Church has always been the enemy of

science. This history proves that even in

the Galileo case the Church remained true

to its belief that faith and reason belong

together.

Giant Eagle/Community/Labriolas

Thanks to all those who continue to purchase the

grocery gift cards. This is a simple but very effective way to

help our school. To those of you who have never tried this

program, won’t you consider beginning to help. Many of our

parishioners have scaled back their

budgets due to the economy, however, the need to

purchase gas, prescription drugs and food never ends.

Please consider purchasing Giant Eagle, Community and

Labriolas gift cards. These cards are

sold every week after all Masses

and during the week at the Parish

Office. Our school receives 5% back

on Giant Eagle and Community and

10% back on Labriolas at no

additional cost to you.

FUNERAL CROSS

As we continue the journey to becoming

one parish often some of our individual

traditions change as new ones are evolv-

was the tradition of receiving a cross dur-

ing the funeral liturgy.

As of October 5, 2019 this tradition will be

discontinued as we begin creating new

ways to celebrate the lives of those who

died.
