Dear Fr. Christopher Plant, Fr. Nicolas Ramirez and the parishioners of St. Bartholomew’s parish, Thank you so very much for the opportunity to share with you the work of the Houston Coalition for Life the weekend of October 1st and 2nd. I am so happy to tell you that because of your generosity, the total from the second collection from all of the Masses was $31,965.65 which enabled us to meet the matching grant of $30,000 that was offered to us! Two very generous parishioners were the donors of the matching grant, one for $25,000 and another for $5000. Through the grace of God over 4,500 abortion-vulnerable moms, that we have had the privilege to serve, have chosen life for their unborn children. We serve them by offering free pregnancy tests, free ultrasounds and Christian Counseling in our mobile crisis pregnancy centers that we affectionately call the Big Blue Bus and Baby Blue. It is because of you that we are able to do this work! Through your prayers and financial support, moms and babies are being saved from the horror of abortion. Thank you again so very much! Christine Melchor Executive Director Houston Coalition for Life I’ve had hundreds of women and men tell me about their abortion experiences. The pain, regret and Abortion sorrow of an abortion does not go away overnight. And the rhetoric of the abortion industry and the slogans of politicians do not bring healing. Whether OCTOBER 27, 2016 it’s a woman who had an abortion 10, 20, or even 30 years ago — or a boyfriend who paid for an abortion — the pain is there. Your prayer presence is often an invitation to healing. “Can we talk?” is a frequent question at a vigil from strangers who just walk up. It could be someone who’s thinking about abortion … or someone who’s had an abortion. Seeing the prayer vigil day after day serves as a witness to God’s love and mercy. DAY 30: doesn’t go away 40 Days for Life is certainly a conversation starter. Sometimes that conversation may have been decades in the making … so never underestimate how God will use your presence! https://40daysforlife.com/2016/10/27/day-30-3/ Written by SHAWN CARNEY, PRESIDENT EUCHARISTIC ADORATION The Chapel is open 24 hours a day, from 6pm Sunday evenings until Noon on Saturdays. Will you spend an hour with Our Lord?

DIVINE MERCY DEVOTION Holy Hour is observed every Friday from 3:00-4:00 p.m. in the Chapel, including Intercessory Prayer, Divine Mercy Chaplet, Stations of the Cross, Consecration Prayer, and a Rosary. Divine Mercy is prayed every day at 3:00 pm the chapel. “Your task is to write down everything that I make known to you about My mercy for the benefit of those who by reading these things will be comforted in their souls and will have the courage to approach Me.” (Diary, 1693) From the Diary of St. Faustina Open Your Heart Tell souls not to place within their own hearts obstacles to My mercy, which so greatly wants to act within them. My mercy works in all those hearts which open their doors to it. Both the sinner and the righteous person have need of My mercy. Conversion, as well as perseverance, is a grace of My mercy. (Diary #1577) For more information on the Divine Mercy Devotions, please contact Maria Beck at 832-618-0726. Mass Intention Requests Intentions are available on a first come first served basis. Please come to the office and complete a request form. Sorry, no intentions can be accepted over the phone. An offering of $5 is requested for the priest celebrating the Mass.

Frank Pavone, M.E.V. God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, we come into your presence in His name. We have heard the voice of your Son, And therefore we can make our voices heard. We have been justified in the blood of your Son, And therefore we can oppose every form of injustice. We have repented of our sins, And therefore we can lead the sinner to repentance. We have done battle with the power of evil, And therefore we can have compassion on those still within its grip. We have been freed from the kingdom of darkness, And therefore we can bear witness to your Kingdom of Light. Lord, as we come before you today, we repent, we resolve, and we rejoice. We repent of every instance in which fear has made us silent when we should have spoken. We repent of the ongoing bloodshed in our land, And for ever daring to think that we can deprive the unborn of protection but keep it for ourselves. We resolve that we will work more generously to advance your Kingdom. We resolve that we will advance the cause of righteous candidates for public office, And that we will be more afraid of offending you by our silence. Than of offending the IRS by our speech. We resolve that we will declare boldly to our people that no public official who fails to respect the life of a little baby can be trusted to respect our lives. Father, today we rejoice, because we are not simply working for victory - we are working from victory. The victory of life, truth, and grace has been won by your Son's death and Resurrection. Today we hear his voice again. "I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I hold the keys of death and of hell. Behold, I make all things new." Father, we rejoice that we have been made new, And as we work to renew our culture We look forward to the great day of his coming, When every eye will see him, even of those who pierced him, And every knee shall bend, and every tongue confess, to the glory of God the Father, JESUS CHRIST IS LORD! In his Blessed Name we pray. Amen! http://www.priestsforlife.org/prayers/changing-culture.htm 6 St. Vincent de Paul Society Our office is located at the north end of the Youth Building, east entrance to campus.

St. Bartholomew the Apostle Catholic Church, Katy, Texas 281-391-4758 Adult Formation ~ In the School of Mary ~ Papal Documents Condensed by Deacon Bill Wagner (ON LOVE IN THE FAMILY by Pope Francis ~ March-19-2016) APOSTOLIC EXHORTATION: Amoris Laetitia CHAPTER ONE IN THE LIGHT OF THE WORD YOUR CHILDREN ARE AS THE SHOOTS OF AN OLIVE TREE THE CURRENT REALITY OF THE FAMILY 39. We can hardly cease warning against a cultural decline, a culture of the ephemeral. Consider the speed with which people move from one affective relationship to another. Along the lines of the social networks, love can be connected or disconnected at a whim. There, too, are the fears associated with permanent commitment, those relationships that weigh costs and benefits. We treat affective relationships like material objects. Everything is disposable. It is exploited. Squeezed to the last drop. Then tossed. Narcissism makes for people incapable of looking beyond themselves. Yet those who use others end up used themselves, manipulated and discarded. Break-ups often occur among older adults who seek a kind of independence. They reject the ideal of growing old together supportive of one another. 40. We might say that we live in a culture that pressures young people not to start a family because they lack possibilities for the future. Yet, this same culture presents others with so many options that they too are dissuaded from starting a family. Many young people postpone a wedding for economic reasons, work or study. Others might be influenced by ideologies, the failure of other couples, social opportunities and economic benefits found in simply living together. It might also be the rejection of something conceived of as purely institutional. We need to find the right language to reach the minds and hearts of young people, touching their generosity, commitment, love and even heroism. 41. The Synod Fathers noted that today’s cultural tendencies set no limits on a person’s affective state, a narcissistic and unstable affectivity does not always allow for personal maturity. They expressed concern about the spread of pornography and the commercialization of the body, fostered by the misuse of the internet. Couples are often uncertain, struggling to find ways to grow, remaining in the early stages of their affective and sexual life. A crisis in the couple’s relationship may destabilize the family, leading to separation or divorce with serious consequences for adults, children and society. Failures give rise to new relationships that can be highly complex and problematic for the Christian life.
