RESPECT LIFE
My dear friends in Christ:
Each October during Respect Life Month, the U.S Conference of Catholic Bishops launches a new cycle of the Respect Life Program—a
year-round, nationwide effort to help Catholics understand, value, and help cultivate respect for human life.
As Chairman of the USCCB Committee on Pro-Life Activities, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for all you do to
build a culture of life on a daily basis. Your efforts on behalf of the unborn, the dying, the elderly, the imprisoned, the poor and so many
others have a profound impact, both now and in the life to come.
This year’s theme, Christ Our Hope: In Every Season of Life, is particularly suited for the times in which we live. The attacks against
human life seem to grow more numerous and callous by the day. Despite these challenges, we know that Christ has conquered sin and
death once and for all. Through our Christian hope in the Resurrection, we are given the grace to persevere in faith. Our sacrifices on behalf
of the Gospel of Life can contribute to the redemption of this current culture of death.
During the 2019-2020 Respect Life Program cycle, we also celebrate the 25th anniversary of the papal encyclical Evangelium vitae (The
Gospel of Life), written by St. John Paul II. The Church’s teaching on the value and inviolability of every human life remains an indispens-
able source of truth for all people. As Evangelium vitae highlights, “together we may offer this world of ours new signs of hope, and work
to ensure that justice and solidarity will increase and that a new culture of human life will be affirmed, for the building of an authentic
civilization of truth and love” (EV 6).
We bishops need your help. While there may be opportunities for decisive political action, we know that to build a true culture of life,
we must seek to change hearts and minds. And your witness is essential.
It is the vocation of the laity to go out to be as leaven in the world, a light in the darkness. Your daily activities take you to places I
cannot go; they bring you to those I will never meet. May you allow Christ to renew and strengthen you, that He may work through you in
each moment of every day.
Be assured of my prayers for you and for our common efforts to bring about a world in which every life is cherished. And so together
may we “hold fast to the hope that lies before us. This we have as an anchor of the soul, sure and firm” (Heb 6:18-19).
Sincerely yours in Jesus, the Lord of Life,
Most Reverend Joseph F. Naumann
Archbishop of Kansas City, Kansas
Chairman, U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops
Committee on Pro-Life Activities
Stewardship of PrayerSunday (or Saturday evening) Mass. A must. It’s through the liturgy that God feeds us with His word and the Eucharist, nourishing us for our mission, and sending us forth with his blessing. We cannot be good Catholics and stewards if we miss Mass (except for illness or other dire reasons). • Devotions. Way of the Cross (prayed as a community during Lent, but available any time for pri-vate devotion inside or outside the church building), the rosary, prayed in community during specific times of the year, but always available as private devotion, Eucharistic adoration (every Wednesday at Saint Cecilia following the morning Mass until Benediction at 7:50 PM), novenas, chaplet of Divine mercy, etc. • Personal prayer. Morning offering, bible reading, Angelus, other formal prayer, spontaneous prayer, etc. • Attitude of Gratitude. Give thanks to God in all things. • Pray always. Give glory to God in all your actions and make a prayer of all that you do for others. • Watch the parish bulletin for other prayer opportunities.

1 | Candlelight Mass. Thursday, September 12, was our most
recent Young Adult Candlelight Mass at St. Cecilia. If you
haven’t been to one of these beautiful liturgies before, they
take place on the second Thursday of every month at 7 PM,
with confessions beginning at 6:30 PM.
2 | Honorary Membership in Vietnam Veterans of America.
St. Cecilia parishioner Cathy Schneider’s sister, Judy Squire,
was given an honorary membership in the Vietnam Veterans
of America. She did a one year tour of duty from 1966-1967
in Vietnam as Donut Dolly. She worked for the Red Cross and
her job was to bring a little bit of home to the soldiers in Viet-
nam. She played games, wrote letters, and was there for the
guys as they came off the front lines. She was given the award
posthumously. She died on May of this year at the age of 75.
3 | Meac Dinner. Twenty parishioners of St. Anthony and
myself attended the Madisonville Education and Assistance
Center (MEAC) Annual Fundraiser. MEAC’s mission is to
offer help and hope to the residents of Madisonville in crisis
by meeting their basic needs and providing education that
enables them to navigate their way out of poverty.
4 | Preaching Practicum. This year we have Deacon Andrew
Reckers doing his preaching practicum at St. Margaret-St.
John. It’s always beneficial for the deacons to practice giving
homilies at real parishes and then having parishioners critique
them to help them get better at their craft. Please give Andrew
a warm welcome to the parish.
5 | 40 Hours Devotion Reception. I want to thank Judy Russell
and the Worship team for the beautiful reception after Mass
and the closing of 40 Hours. Thank you Mark and Mandy
Milliron for the delicious food!! It was a large gathering and I’m
happy so many new parishioners were able to attend!3

St. Cecilia Respect Life is sponsoring a viewing of the movie “Unplanned” at the 20th Century Theater on Thursday, October 17, at 7 PM. There will be no charge and this is open to the public. Please note that this film is rated R and is not for those under age 17 due to the graphic nature of this film.
Know Your Saints: St. Thérèse of Lisieux (1873-1897) “I prefer the monotony of obscure sacrifice to all ecstasies. To pick up a pin for love can convert a soul.” These are the words of Thérèse of the Child Jesus, a Carmelite nun called the “Little
Flower,” who lived a cloistered life of obscurity in the convent of Lisieux, France. And her preference for hidden sacrifice did indeed convert souls. Few saints of God are more popular than this young nun. Her autobiography, The Story of a Soul, is read and loved throughout the world. Thérèse Martin entered the convent at the age of 15 and died in 1897 at the age of 24. She was canonized in 1925, and two years later she and St. Francis Xavier were declared co-patrons of the missions.
Life in a Carmelite convent is indeed uneventful and consists mainly of prayer and hard domestic work. But Thérèse possessed that holy insight that redeems the time, however dull that time may be. She saw in quiet suffering, redemptive suffering, suffering that was indeed her apostolate. Thérèse said she came to the Carmel convent “to save souls and pray for priests.” And shortly before she died, she wrote: “I want to spend my heaven doing good on earth.”
On October 19, 1997, Pope John Paul II proclaimed her a Doctor of the Church, the third woman to be so recognized, in light of her holiness and the influence on the Church of her teaching on spirituality. Her parents, Louis and Zélie were beatified in 2008.
CATECHESIS (kat’i-ke’sis) n.
Can someone earn heaven by good works?No. No man can gain heaven merely by his own efforts. The fact that we are saved is God’s grace,
pure and simple, which nevertheless demands the free cooperation of the individual. [2006-2001, 2025-2027]
Although it is grace and faith through which we are saved, nevertheless, our good works ought to show the love produced by God’s action in us. (YOUCAT question 341)
Young Adult Dinner and Conversation with Dr. Edward Sri: “Men, Women, and the Mystery of Love”On Weds., Oct. 16, from 5:30-7 PM at St. Margaret of York Cath-olic School, in Loveland. The cost is $15, which includes dinner. To register, visit http://bit.ly/EdwardSriCincy2019.
All are invited to join the Our Lady of Fatima Prayer Group pray the rosary
for peace throughout our world. Every Wednesday from 1–2 p.m. in the last two
pews of Saint Cecilia church.

Stewardship of PrayerThe word “steward” or “stewardship” is found 87 times in the
New Testament. The New Testament writers use the words
“steward” and “stewardship” to make a point that all people are
God’s stewards, because everything that exists belongs to God.
The good steward puts God first, nurtures loving relation-
ships with family and friends, cares for one’s health, establishes
a good balance between work and leisure, and so much more.
These are all aspects of living a lifestyle of stewardship as “chil-
dren of God.”
Stewardship is not about money. It’s a whole way of life based
on the belief that we truly are daughters and sons of God. Living
as stewards means that we care for and nurture all that we have
been given: our very selves, our relationships, our material re-
sources, every hour of every day we are alive. When that nurtur-
ing “yields with increase,” we find abundance overflowing: our
relationships flow out to draw others in; our material resources
are shared willingly and with love; our care of ourselves gives us
physical and emotional energy with which to be productive.
Recognizing God as the Giver of every good gift and being
mindful of our blessings each day changes our prayer life. God
gives lavishly to us through the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus Christ
on the cross. We are asked to give back to God accordingly.
Respect Life: Friday Evening Group Prayer VigilsLooking for a way to get involved or better understand 40 Days
for Life? Consider attending one of the six-hour long Friday eve-
ning prayer vigils. On each of these six Friday evenings, a group
gathers together to peacefully pray from 7-8 PM. If you’ve never
done a 40 Days prayer hour, this is a great way to see what it’s
all about. For more info, contact Brigid Duffy at 513 -379-0821
or at bswartz @fuse.net or go to 40daysforlife.com/Cincinnati.
These vigils will be each Friday evening of the campaign: Sep-
tember 27, October 4, 11, 18, 25 and November 1.

Support Group St. Cecilia Parish is starting a
support group for those struggling
with infertility and recurrent
miscarriages along with those
considering adoption. As isolating
as infertility seems, know that you
are not alone. We will be having
our initial meeting the second week
of October. If you or someone you
know may be interested in this Catholic support group, please
reach out to Tricia Beiersdorfer at tricia.beiersdorfer@gmail.
com for more information.
God speaks in whispers and we live in a loud world. Hearing God’s voice amidst the noise and busy-ness of our lives can be difficult. But He is always there to guide and help us, and He has given us other people and resources to help us, as well. If you think God may be calling you to religious life and you need someone to talk to, call Fr. Dan Schmitmeyer at 421.3131, ext. 2890.
