FROM THE PASTOR’S DESK—DEL ESCRITORIO DEL PASTOR
The World in View from a Believer’s Perspective
If you’re looking for a peaceful walk through a desert oasis visit Boyce Thompson Arboretum, just West of Superior. I did not have
the patience to remember the binomial (Latin) names for the plant and butterfly. So, how did God speak to my heart as I was
drawn to capture this image?
Bugs and plants are the objects of God’s Providence. He provides life-sustaining nectar to all sorts of critters and He sends the
periodic rains to quench the thirst of our familiar landscapes. We human beings, however, are the apple of God’s eye. Have you
ever considered that among all living things that comprise our world only you and me are capable of recognizing the loving hand of
His Providence in a personal way? The uplifting vocal arrangements of Take Six, our capacity to digest liver and onions, our ability
to encounter Him though contemplative prayer—we don’t need much imagination to recognize how super Kind and super Good He
is to us.
God’s super goodness and super abundance come to bear at every Mass. The Eucharist adored and consumed is designed to
secure our company with Him for all the ages to come. What are we worth that God’s only Son now gives us his flesh and blood?
Let us examine our consciences always before receiving so great a gift—a gift not shared with the rest of creation. Jesus did
confide to his disciples (Mt. 10:31): ‘You are worth more than many sparrows’… and plants and butterflies too.
Your Pastor,
Fr. Larry
El Mundo que se ve desde la perspectiva de un creyente
Si estás buscando un tranquilo paseo por un oasis en el desierto, entonces visita Boyce Thompson Arboretum, al oeste de
Superior, AZ. Yo no tuve la paciencia para recordar los nombres en Latin para la planta y la mariposa en esta foto. Entonces,
¿Cómo habló Dios a mi corazón como para interesarme para sacarla?
Los insectos y las plantas son objetos también de la Providencia de Dios. Él proporciona el néctar para muchos bichos y Él envía
las lluvias periódicas para saciar la sed de nuestros paisajes familiares. Nosotros, los seres humanos, sin embargo, son la niña de
los ojos de Dios. ¿Has pensado que entre todos los seres vivos que componen nuestro mundo sólo tú y yo somos capaces de
reconocer la mano amorosa de su Providencia de una manera personal? La música Norteña, nuestra capacidad para digerir los
tamales, el don de dirigirnos a Dios con el título `Padre´, todos estos ejemplos encapsulan el gran deseo de nuestro Padre
Celestial de que reconozcamos a Él como super amable y muy buena.
La súper bondad y la super abundancia de Dios tambien vienen con cada Misa celebrada. La Eucaristía adoraba y se consume
está diseñada para asegurar nuestra empresa con Él para todas las edades por venir. ¿Quiénes somos que sólo el Hijo de Dios
nos da su propia carne y sangre? Examinemos nuestras conciencias siempre antes de recibir tan gran regalo, un don que no
comparte con el resto de la creación. Jesús confió a sus discípulos (Mateo 10:31): 'Tú vales más que muchos pajarillos "... y las
plantas y mariposas también.
Tu Pastor,
P. Lorenzo

Is there a neighbor or friend of yours who is in temporary

The Gospel reminds us to be kind to people who are not just
like us, especially sick people who bear illness with courage
and those who are handicapped, deaf, lame, dying or
homeless.
(Adapted from Fr. James’ homily, September 6, 2015.)
PRAYER FOR HOLY CROSS PARISH
Lord, I ask your blessing on our community of
Holy Cross Parish.
Send your peace into our families, especially those who
are struggling in any particular way. Bless our youth and
protect them from harmful and destructive behavior.
Help our young adults to recognize your will for them, and grant many
vocations to the religious life and the priesthood and the permanent
diaconate from our parish for the future of our Church.
Bless those who live a single life with a deep sense of your love for
them and your presence in their lives. Send your healing of body and
spirit into those who are suffering from any illness, especially those
with chronic pain.
Comfort those who are close to death.
Bless our country and our world with peace and a profound sense of
justice and respect for every human life from conception to natural
death.
Let us rejoice in your love for each of us, whatever our circumstances,
and may every one of us at Holy Cross do our part, through the
intercession of Mary, our Mother, and by the power of your grace, to
build up the Kingdom of God on our earth.
We ask this through Christ, our Lord
Amen
Welcome to Holy Cross Catholic
Church!

Cross community. Registering as a
parishioner is as easy as completing an enrollment form and

treasure. Parish registration is expected for all who come to
Holy Cross on a regular basis and consider this their parish.
Registering is a statement of confidence and desire to take
part in the life and work of the parish. It allows us to
communicate information about parish events, sacramental
preparation and year end contribution statements.
Registration forms are available in the Parish Office and on
our website at www.holycrossmesa.org

RELIGIOUS EDUCATION: ADULT FAITH FORMATION AND SPIRITUALITY
Why Is Cursillo Important?
Attention Cursiloo Ultreya
Thursday, November 5
Rm. J at 12:00 noon
What Good Is Cursillo?
What Does Cursillo Do?
Following are some comments
about Cursillo.
1. The purpose of the Cursillo movement is to create small
groups of Christians who will spread the example of Christ
in their homes, in their work places and in their
communities by their example.
2. A Cursillo is an encounter with Christ.
3. A Cursillo encourages people to assist Christ in being a
prime influence in society.
4. Cursillo gives a person a deeper understanding of Jesus and
how we can serve Him.
5. Cursillo is simply a method through which one’s spiritually
may be developed, lived and showed in any area of human
life.
If you wish to attend a Cursillo or if you have any questions
concerning a Cursillo please call Jim or Mimi Gersitz at
480-396-0173.
Next Cursillos:
Men’s—November 5th—November 8th
Women’s—November 19th—22nd
Because there is much demand for the November Cursillo it is
important to register as soon as you make your decision.
The facilities at Mt. Claret are quite comfortable and new. The
weekend ends Sunday evening around 7pm. You will be driven
both ways by a sponsor.
No one is to well informed or too spiritual to make a Cursillo.
There are priests and religious who make their Cursillo as well
as lay teachers of the faith. There are people who know very
little and those who know a great deal. No matter your
knowledge of the faith or your spirituality, Cursillo could be for
you.
Call Deacon Jim or Mimi Gersitz at 480-396-0173 for further
information.
Come share and celebrate the Cursillo
movement with your friends who have already
made a Cursillo
Prayer for Cursillo
Following is a list of the men
and women who will be
participating in the November Cursillos.
We ask you to please pray for each person.

PARISH & COMMUNITY EVENTS
Bishop Nevares will be making a pastoral visit to
our parish on Thursday, November 5th.
There will be a Mass in Spanish at 6pm.
All are invited to attend the Mass.
After Mass, Bishop Nevares will have a private meeting with
leaders of the Hispanic ministry of our parish.
A Call For New Ministers of Care
In the Gospel of Matthew 25, Jesus
described how we need to visit the sick
and said, “whatever you did for one of
these least brothers of mine, you did for
me.” The Care Ministry at Holy Cross is a ministry to the most
vulnerable people in the Parish. At present, Ministers of Care
are especially needed to serve in the many nursing homes
and hospitals within the parish boundaries. They bring Holy
Eucharist to the sick and pray for their spiritual/emotional
needs. This ministry only requires about 2 – 2 ½ hours a
week and it’s a ministry in which you receive more spiritual
and emotional rewards in return than what you give.
To be certified as a new Minister of Care, Fr. Simon
Osuchukwu and Deacon Joe Scaccia are offering a new and
active-learning workshop on Saturday, October 31 from 9:15
to 3:30 in Wellens Hall, Classroom J. Lunch will be
provided.
If you feel called to this ministry, please call the Parish Office
at 480-981-2021, and leave a detailed contact message for
Deacon Joe.
Thanks in Christ for your support.
Holy Cross Council No. 7904
“All life has inestimable value even the weakest and
most vulnerable, the sick, the old, the unborn and the
poor, are masterpieces of God’s creation, made in his
own image, destined to live forever, and deserving of
the utmost reverence and respect.”
Pope Francis July 2013

“Singleness and the Holy Life”
How do the Saints model the different states of the single life for us? How did individual saints throughout history live out their lives as

Scholar this coming November.

lanzado un nuevo disco compacto de su
música original. El disco se llama
Transformación, y explora el tema de cómo se
nos cambia la vida cuando le decimos que
“sí” a nuestro Dios quien nos llama.
El disco compacto es en inglés, y estará disponible a la venta el
próximo domingo.
