October’s Missionary Month:

Baptized and Sent: The Church of Christ on Mission in the World.

WORLD MISSION COLLECTION TO

BE TAKEN UP AS THE SECOND COLLECTION AT ALL MASSES ON

OCTOBER 19TH & 20TH.

WEDDING ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION

Saturday, October 26th 4:30 p.m. Vigil Mass

Followed by a fellowship meal for all in St. Joseph Hall !

We will be celebrating the wedding anniver-sary of all couples on Saturday, October 26th at the 4:30 p.m. Mass. During Mass, the all couples will renew their marriage vows and the couples celebrating 25, 40, 50, and 60+ years of marriage will be given an-niversary certificates.

PERSISTENCE

Today’s readings are about persistence, passion-ate persistence. Exodus tells of a battle won despite weariness because Moses, with help from Aaron and Hur, held his hands raised. Timothy asks that same persistence of his community and us. Luke tells of a court case won by a widow, despite the dishonesty of the judge, because she will not leave him alone. The psalm reminds us that God is everywhere, guarding us from harm day and night, com-ing and going, now and forever. The readings are about persistence, the relentless, unwa-vering pursuit of what must not be lost. The readings are about God’s passionate persis-tence in pursuing us, seeking to win our hearts.

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION

Although the hours of daylight are rapidly dwin-dling, many people would say that these October days bring the year’s most splendid weather. Americans are riders and joggers, not strollers, and so the pleasures of the season are often lost on us. This is not the case with many Jewish people, who observe an ancient rule in walking to synagogue on the Sabbath. On city streets and suburban sidewalks in many cities, we may no-tice around sunset the nicely dressed families walking and chatting on Friday afternoon. After a short prayer at dusk, the families stroll home again for a relaxing and festive meal. They re-turn to synagogue in the morning, and then spend an afternoon in family leisure until three stars appear in the night sky and Sabbath ends. Catholics, on the other hand, pile into the car and drive even a short distance to Mass; some even divide the family to participate at different hours. For Jews, the leisurely walk marks a di-viding line between hectic life commitments and a day of abundant joy and enrichment. Before we became an automobile culture, Catholics em-braced a similar pace, and in most places walked to church. These lovely days of fall invite us to tap into an old and life-giving tradition. If you live within a mile of your church, walk next week. If you must drive, park at a good distance and walk the rest of the way. Talk about your life, greet strangers, notice the crunch of leaves under your shoes. You may be surprised at how different Sunday Mass feels when it is framed by leisure! James Field, Copyright © J.
