The Twenty-Seventh Sunday in Ordinary Time
Grounded in Grace
In his book A Game Plan for
Life: The Power of Mentoring, former UCLA basketball
coach John Wooden told of a
defining moment in his life. When John graduated from
eighth grade, his father Joshua gave him a seven-point
creed by which to live. One of those points was: “Make
friendship a fine art.”
From the beginning of creation, human existence was all
about friendship—friendship with God, friendship with
one another, friendship with creation itself. It was all about
solid and healthy relationships. We humans are social by
nature: “It is not good for man to be alone.” We are made
for companionship, and when that companionship is a lifelong commitment in marriage, no person should separate
what God has joined together.
So how do we make friendship a fine art? It is not simply
that “the two become one flesh.” It is so much more.
Sharing values, sharing stories, sharing the joy and sorrows
of everyday life. It is being patient and forgiving, compassionate and kind. Much grace is needed to make relationships work. St. Thomas Aquinas, a great doctor and
theologian of the Church, maintained that grace is amicitia
Dei, friendship with God. In the best of marriages and
friendships, God is an invisible but real partner. To the
extent that each person in the relationship is grounded in
grace, in this friendship with God, the likelihood of a
healthy marriage is greatly increased.

“Catholicism” DVD Presentation
Thursday, October 11th
7-8:30pm in the Parish Hall
Join us as we rediscover our common faith on a Journey Around the
World and Deep into Our Faith
through “Catholicism.” With
creator and host Father Robert
Barron, you will learn what
Catholics believe and why, while
being immersed in the art,
architecture, literature, beliefs, and
practices of the Catholic tradition. Filmed in 50 locations
throughout 15 countries, the Catholicism DVD series is
on-location and in the streets illustrating the splendor of
the global Church.
We will meet on the second Thursday each month at
7:00pm to watch an episode of this 10-part series.
Following the video presentation, we’ll gather in small
groups to discuss the topic of the evening.
Join us for episode 1: “Amazed and afraid, the revelation of God become man.” Father Robert Barron
illuminates and explains the conviction of the Catholic
Faith that Jesus of Nazareth is the promised Messiah
and the revelation of God become man.
These evenings are open to everyone of the parish as a
chance to delve deeper into the Catholic religion during
this “Year of Faith.” Come as you can—each episode is
its own entity and does not need to be viewed in
conjunction with the others. If you have any questions,
please contact Elena in the Parish Office.
Respect Life Sunday
Human life is sacred. The dignity of the human person is the foundation of a moral vision for
society. Direct attacks on innocent persons are never morally acceptable, at any stage or in any
condition. In our society, human life is especially under attack from abortion. Other direct threats
to the sanctity of human life include euthanasia, human cloning and the destruction of human
embryos for research.
The direct and intentional destruction of innocent human life from the moment of conception until death is always wrong
and is not just one issue among many. It must always be opposed.
Today as we celebrate Respect Life Sunday, we look ahead to voting in the November elections. It is imperative that we
do so according to a well formed conscience. In the Catholic Tradition, responsible citizenship is a virtue, and participation in political life is a moral obligation (FCFC #13). At the center of these truths is respect for the dignity of every
person. This is the core of Catholic moral and social teaching (FCFC #10). To become a more informed Catholic Voter
please visit the Catholic Bishops website: http://www.usccb.org/issues-and-action/faithful-citizenship.

What is the Year of Faith?
In this special year, believers around the world are
called to renew their commitment to the faith that is
“always the same, yet the
source of ever new light.” Pope
Benedict XVI has proclaimed a
Year of Faith beginning
October 11, 2012, and concluding on November 24, 2013, the
feast of Christ the King.
The start of this Year of Faith coincides with the anniversaries of two great events that
have marked the life of the Church: the 50th anniversary of the opening of the Second
Vatican Council and the 20th anniversary of the publication of the Catechism of the
Catholic Church.
Register to Vote and then
Vote on Election Day,
Tuesday, November 6, 2012!
Pick up a voter registration form
at the Parish Office.
The Catholic Catechism gives an immense complement to
United States of America saying, “One must pay tribute to those
nations whose systems permit the largest possible number of the
citizens to take part in public life in a climate of genuine freedom.” Let’s all embrace that freedom by voting in the upcoming
November Election. The voter registration deadline for the November 2012 election is Monday, October 22, 2012. If you are
not registered, please stop by the Parish Office to pick up a voter
registration form. Let your voice be heard!
Kid’s Corner
Do you know why Catholics make
novenas? NOVENA comes from a
Latin word meaning nine. The
apostles spent nine days praying
between the Ascension (when Jesus
left them to go back to heaven) and
Pentecost (when the Holy Spirit
came to inspire them). So when
there’s something very important to pray about,
prayers are said every day for nine days in a row,
asking God for help. And that’s a novena! Can you
think of something important enough to pray about
for nine days?

Our Lady of the Rosary
October 7th
The rosary appeals to many. It is simple. The
constant repetition of words helps create an
atmosphere in which to contemplate the mysteries of God. We sense that Jesus and Mary are
with us in the joys and sorrows of life. We grow
in hope that God will bring us to share in the
glory of Jesus and Mary forever.
Rosaries for Peace
Next weekend we join with parishes throughout the
Diocese to pray the Rosary for peace. During the early
years of Pope John Paul II’s pontificate, he called on
Catholics of the world to pray more for peace. Through
the efforts of Fr. Donald Buchanan, there has been a
movement in our Diocese to make this an annual
event. Join us next weekend for the praying of the
rosary:
Saturday, October 13th at 4:30pm before the 5pm Mass
Sunday, October 14th at 8:00am before the 8:30am Mass
Sunday, October 14th at 12:30pm following the Spanish Mass
Life and Social Justice
Issues in the Heart of the
Catholic Church
Capital Punishment:
Ending the death penalty "is most consonant
with the example of Jesus, who both taught
and practiced the forgiveness of injustice and
who came "to give his life as a ransom for
many." (Mark 10:45) (Capital Punishment,
USCCB, 1980) Our diocese is involved! Go to

XXVII Domingo Ordinario
Reflexión sobre la
segunda lectura, de la
carta a los hebreos
La carta a los hebreos
nos dice que la pasión y
muerte de Jesús no es un fin en sí mismo, sino solamente el camino hacia la resurrección y
la salvación plena. Los cristianos no nos podemos quedar contemplando al crucificado del
viernes santo, construyendo nuestra vida desde el dolor, el sufrimiento y la muerte. La misma epístola nos dice que el propio Jesús “en
los días de su vida mortal le pidió a su Padre,
con gritos y lágrimas, oraciones y súplicas,
que lo salvara de la muerte”. Esto quiere decir
que él mismo luchó por encontrar una alternativa que no estaba sujeta a su voluntad sino a
hacer la voluntad del Padre, por lo que nosotros estamos invitados a construir nuestra vida
cristiana desde la esperanza que nos ofrece la
resurrección de Jesús, y recordar que después
de la cruz viene la vida eterna.
