PRAYER TO OUR LADY OF PERPETUAL HELP
O MOTHER OF PERPETUAL HELP, grant that I may
ever invoke your most powerful name, which is the
safeguard of the living and the salvation of the dying.
O Purest MARY, O Sweetest MARY! Let your name
henceforth be ever on my lips. Delay not, O Blessed
Lady, to succor me whenever I call on you, for, in all
my temptations, in all my needs, I shall never cease to
call on you, ever repeating your sacred name, Mary,
Mary! Oh, what consolation, what sweetness, what
confidence, what emotion, fills my soul when I utter
your sacred name, or even only think of you! I thank
the Lord for having given you, for my good, so sweet,
so powerful, so lovely a name. But I will not be content with merely uttering your name. Let my love for
you prompt me ever to hail you, Mother of Perpetual
Help!
The Gospel at Home
This Week’s Gospel: Matthew 25:14–30
In this week’s Gospel, Jesus tells a pointed
story about three servants. Their master entrusts them with varying amounts of money
and leaves them. Two of the servants double their money,
but fear gets in the way of the third servant, and all he can
do is to preserve what he has. The challenge for all of us is
to recognize the gifts that we have been given and our responsibility to care for those gifts. That means caring for
the world we live in and caring for one another. It also
means having the courage to be our best selves.
Exploring the Gospel Message
Promise (Grades K–1): The Gospel calls both children and
parents to use their God- given gifts. Point out to your child
what you see as his or her best gifts. Be sure to mention
ordinary gifts like a sense of humor, thoughtfulness, or
good cheer. Ask your child to teach the family how to play
Hide It. It is a game they learned in class.
Good News (Grades 2–3): This week your child learned the
parable of the talents told through a short play set in modern times. Spend some time talking about the three people
who received money from their boss. Why did Joshua hide
the money while the other two doubled the boss’s money?
Talk, too, about how each member of the family can put
God’s good gifts to work for others.
Venture (Grades 4–6): Take some time this week to talk
about the gifts and talents that God has given your family.
Talk, too, about how each of you can use these gifts. Ask
your child to explain to the family why Jesus used parables
to teach about God’s Kingdom. Let your child lead the
family in sharing how the family can use its gifts and talents to make things better and to have a positive effect on
people’s lives.

USE YOUR TALENT Having only modest talent is
no excuse for not using it. Think what the morning would
be like if only talented birds sang! —Anonymous
LIVING PRAYER Who pr ays as they ought will endeavor to live as they pray. —Anonymous
Visions (Grades 7–8): In their discussion of the week’s
Gospel, your teenager’s class talked about the value of
work, and how people have many talents for work. Your
child learned
that work is the enterprise that gives people purpose and
self-worth, and allows all to share in God’s creative activity. Talk together about the work each member of the family
has to do. Talk about the talents each of you brings to your
work. Ask your son or daughter to share the class’s discussion about an ideal man and an ideal woman.
Pray Together
When you complete your conversation about the week’s
Gospel lesson, make a litany prayer of all the many gifts
and talents each member of your family possesses—such as
honesty, gracefulness, intelligence, athletic ability, kindness, and so forth. After each is mentioned, the whole family can say together: “Thanks be to God!”
Venture (4.o a 6.o Grado): Dediquen un tiempo esta semana a hablar acerca de los dones y talentos que Dios le ha
dado a su familia. Hablen también acerca de cómo cada
uno de ustedes puede usar estos dones. Pidan a su hijo que
explique a la familia por qué Jesús usaba parábolas para
enseñar acerca del Reino de Dios. Permitan que su hijo
guíe a la familia para que compartan cómo esta puede usar
los dones y talentos para mejorar las cosas y tener un impacto positivo en la vida de las personas.
Orar juntos
Cuando terminen su conversación acerca de la lección del
Evangelio de la semana, recen una letanía por todos los
dones y talentos que posee cada miembro de su familia,
como la honestidad, la gentileza, la inteligencia, la habilidad atlética, la bondad y así sucesivamente. Después de
mencionar cada uno, toda la familia unida puede decir:
“Demos gracias a Dios”.
OLPH School Connection
Thank you to Ms. Stella and
her 5th graders for leading our
10:00 Mass today. It is a true
blessing to have the students of
OLPH School participate in the
weekend Masses each month. The children benefit greatly from this experience and it helps foster
the beautiful sense of community we have here at
Our Lady of Perpetual Help. The families of our
5th grade students are here today selling baked
goods to help raise money for new classroom
blinds. It is our intent to have new blinds for all
classes by the end of the year and new windows
facing Wellington installed by the end of 2014!
Thank you to all the parishioners who continue
to support our efforts to improve OLPH School.
We are truly blessed!

extravagance of what is being given us. All
we need to do is be faithful in “small matters.” The cost of fidelity has no comparison to the reward given.
When you give the furniture, household

St. Vincent de Paul, you are sharing God’s extravagant love. To have your donations picked up, please
