Twenty-Sixth Sunday in Ordinary Time

Celebrate the Feast
of St. Francis at our
Yes
or
No?
Blessing of the Animals
St. Didacus Parking Lot
Saturday, October 4th at 9:00am
The parable of the two sons is unique to Matthew’s
account of the Gospel. This story is a classic parable,
as it seems to indict just about everyone. We may
have heard it so often that the distinction between the
good son and the unfaithful son seems too obvious.
Nevertheless, if we understand the parable in its
cultural context it becomes more complicated and
interesting. Jesus presents the case of two sons, one
who said the right words but did not obey, and the
other who eventually obeyed in spite of how he had
answered his father.
Father Chuck will
bless our animal
companions at this
special event. Bring
your friendly pets!
Coffee, juice, &
pastries will be
served.
Francis of Assisi
The Blessing of the Animals
Celebrating the Feast of St. Francis
In Semitic cultures, respect for parents or the father is
one of the most basic and important values. The son
who said yes to his father fulfilled an essential
requirement of filial piety. The son who said no was
guilty of an immense and disrespectful insult to his
father. If we think of the characters in this parable as
representing God and God’s people, the one who said
no was guilty of something akin to blasphemy,
refusing to recognize the Father’s authority. The one
who did nothing was guilty of disobedience, but at
least he acknowledged his father’s authority.
Culturally, the second was guilty of the greater sin.
—Foundations for Preaching and Teaching
Diocesan Day of Prayer
for Vocations to the Priesthood
If we simply ask, “Which of the sons did the father’s
will?” we will agree with the answer of the religious
authorities: the one who did what the father asked.
The son who said no seemed proud, while the other
seemed hypocritical. The key to the parable is that
one changed his mind. Like the sinners of Jesus’ or
Ezekiel’s day, the nay-saying son transformed his
attitude. The naysayer came to humble obedience,
while the other allowed the father’s vineyard to go to
ruin while he still saved face. As Jesus said, in the
end, those who are humble enough to repent, those
who sooner or later follow God’s path, will be the
first to enter the Kingdom of God.
Just a few simple rules:
All pets must be on a leash
or in a cage for everyone’s safety.
And most importantly,
don’t forget your pooper-scooper!
Father you call each one
of us by name and ask us
to follow you.

Bless your church by
raising up dedicated and
generous leaders from our
families and friends who
will serve your people as Priests

Inspire us as we grow to
know you, and open our hearts

We ask this in
Jesus’ name.
Amen

Memorial of the
Holy Guardian Angels
Jesus’
parable about
the two sons,
directed to the
religious leaders
of the people,
conveys a
powerful
lesson—one that
illustrates the
message of
today’s First
Reading. It is the tax collectors and
prostitutes—the sinners who had first said
“no” to God—who are entering the Kingdom of Heaven through the “yes” of their
repentance, before the professed—and
obstinate—religious leaders.
—Sourcebook
Kid’s Corner
Do you want to do
“big things” with
your life? Great!
Big is important—
but little can be
too! On Wednesday, we celebrate
the feast of Saint Therese, who is
known as the “Little Flower” because
she lived life in a “little way.” She
was always willing to do humble,
small things WITHOUT complaining.
Ask St. Therese to help you remember that sometimes you have to
learn to do the LITTLE things well—
before you can learn to do the BIG
things!
—365 Fun-Facts for Catholic Kids
Lord Jesus, you poured out your life on the cross
as an offering to God and an example of humility
for us to follow. Give us the grace to follow that
example in word and deed through our love for
others.
Thursday, October 2nd
Perhaps no aspect of Catholic piety is
as comforting to parents as the belief
that an angel protects their little ones
from dangers real and imagined. Yet
guardian angels are not only for
children. Their role is to represent
individuals before God, to watch over
them always, to aid their prayer and to
present their souls to God at death.
The concept of an angel assigned to
guide and nurture each human being is
a development of Catholic doctrine and piety based on Scripture but not
directly drawn from it. Jesus' words in Matthew 18:10 best support the belief:
"See that you do not despise one of these little ones, for I say to you that
their angels in heaven always look upon the face of my heavenly Father."
Devotion to the angels began to develop with the birth of the monastic
tradition. St. Benedict gave it impetus and Bernard of Clairvaux, the great
12th-century reformer, was such an eloquent spokesman for the guardian
angels that angelic devotion assumed its current form in his day.
A feast in honor of the guardian angels was first observed in the 16th
century. In 1615, Pope Paul V added it to the Roman calendar.
"May the angels lead you into paradise;
may the martyrs come to welcome you
and take you to the holy city,
the new and eternal Jerusalem." (Rite for Christian Burial)

The Precepts of the Catholic Church
The pope and bishops have established some
laws to help us know and fulfill our responsibilities as members of the Church. These laws
are called the precepts of the Church. They
teach us how we should act as members of the Church. They
help the Church to grow together in Christ.
1. You shall attend Mass on Sundays and on holy days of
obligation and rest from servile labor.
2. You shall confess your sins at least once a year.
3. You shall receive the Sacrament of the Eucharist at least
during the Easter season.
4. You shall observe the days of fasting and abstinence
established for the Church.
5. You shall help to provide for the needs of the Church.

XXVI Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario
Si o No
La
parábola
de hoy nos
plantea la categoría universal y el principio teórico: el
de la primacía
del hacer sobre el decir, de la practica sobre
la teoría. Un hermano dijo que sí, muy dispuesto, pero sus hechos desmintieron sus
palabras: su palabra verdadera, su palabra
práctica, fue un no. El otro hermano pareció
estar desde el principio fuera del camino de
la salvación, por sus palabras negativas e
inaceptables; pero a pesar de sus palabras,
él de hecho fue a la viña, hizo la voluntad
del Padre. Decir y hacer, teoría y practica: el
Evangelio es claro, es si o no, una buena acción habla mas que una buena predica.
