Peace , Fr. Walter

These are the last two needs recognized by William Glasser, MD as “genetic,” which means we are “wired” to have these needs fulfilled in us. The other two needs already discussed here were Power (or self- esteem) and Love and Belonging. Fulfilling these needs gives us a sense of satisfaction. Not fulfilling these needs distresses us. Every-body is doing the best they can, but nonetheless, if we try to fulfill these needs in a wrong way, our distress remains. Our lives may end up with high levels of stress, leav-ing us angry and at odds with other people. The simplest way of fulfilling these needs is to ask ourselves if our current method of decision making works for us. Do we enjoy strong bonds with others, and are we at peace with ourselves? Yes, living healthy does admittedly involve some effort. But if I want to live healthy, I won’t mind the effort. The best way to do this is to have fun doing it. The best way to even live is to allow for ourselves to have fun in life. Will Rogers once said that the shortest distance between two people is a laugh. How much fun do I have in life? What makes this question im-portant is that, again, this too is genetic. I write this knowing that people may wonder why fun is even mentioned, but if we are going to take an honest look at what it means to be mentally healthy, there is no way that we cannot examine the quality of fun in our lives. Even taking a break can be fun. Fun can bond a family even closer. Taking a family vacation or just doing something together as a family can easily be seen as psy-chologically healthy for one and all. All that needs to be remembered is that not every-one agrees on what exactly IS fun. Remember, you have free will; you have the power to choose. For this reason, freedom is the last genetic need. Here is where the Roman Catholic Church can play such an important role in our lives. We primarily experience the Catholic Church by means of parish. Through the parish’s leadership we learn Catholic teachings. We learn that the church values our freedom, a best genetic need, and it does this by valuing our conscience. We are encouraged to develop our conscience by choosing to be committed to the Church and be formed by it. This takes time. If there are any current conflicts, we must choose both to follow our conscience and to stay in dialogue with Church teachings. In this way we learn more about why the Church states what it does. We may see where we were wrong. The Church further values our freedom by reminding us that although we have the right to judge the outward action of another as wrong, we cannot judge another per-son’s heart. That sort of judgement belongs to God. This teaching of the Church gives us the freedom to love more. It is precisely in Christ’s teachings not to judge another, we acquire the ability to love more.

From Father Walter ’s desk… “Fun & Freedom”

Vineyard & Cornerstone. The Bible stories today are pretty straightfor-

ward. We are the vineyard-the owner is God. The cornerstone is Jesus- we are the building. What does it mean to be the cherished plant- to be watered and pruned and hoed by God?

What does it mean to be laid brick by brick on the one and sure foundation of Christ Jesus?

~How will I be fruitful, be generous, be good?

~How will I stay attached to Jesus? ~How will I cherish my chosen place on vine and

in building?

GREAT CRUSADER PINK OUT

Our school held its second annual Great Crusader Pink Out on Friday, September 29th. All the students and staff were asked to wear PINK, PINK, and more PINK! We also asked everyone to bring a donation of at least $1 that will go towards breast cancer research. We raised $450 for this great cause! What a great way to kick off Breast Cancer Awareness Month! The kids and staff had a great time dressing in all of their pink, while raising both awareness and money for this wonderful cause. This is a picture of some of our seventh graders and it is clear that many of them went all out for the cause. PRE-KINDERGARTEN There are still a couple of slots available for our three year old and four year old pre-kindergarten classes.

America Needs Fatima October 14, 2017

12:00 noon In front of the Marquee in the

Church parking lot

America is at a historic crossroad. Secularists are trying to push God

from the public square more than ever before. They reject His beneficiary action upon society. But without God, where will our leaders get the

wisdom to solve the great problems we continue to face? We must stop the secularist advance and

pray to God for help through the intercession of His Mother, Mary. This year, more than ever, we need to pray for our country and its leaders. That is why we’re launching the eight Public Square

Rosary Crusade.

This is a nationwide rally to be held across the country on this day and time. It will only take about 40 minutes. Please join us this year and

bring a friend and a lawn chair.

Any questions, contact Dodie Pryzbycien 630.323.7929
