———CALENDAR OF THE WEEK———

Dear Parishioners and Visitors,

Greetings from Lourdes, France. Over the past

few days, the group and I have been tracing

some “Ignatian” history, following in the footsteps of St.

Ignatius of Loyola, the founder of the Jesuits, and his stal-

wart companion and first missionary, St. Francis Xavier.

But, as much as I love the spirituality of St. Ignatius, much

closer to my heart is the story of St. Bernadette Soubirous

and our Lady of Lourdes. This is by far is my favorite

Marian apparition. Though I hope to visit Fatima someday,

as well as the Rue du Bac in Paris (where our Lady gave

the miraculous medal to St. Catherine Labouré) and though

I have been to Medjugorje as a teenager, I was brought up

on the story of the poor St. Bernadette and how Mary ap-

peared to her in what my father called a “trash-dump,” as

indeed the grotto at Massabielle was at the time of Mary’s

first apparition there in February 1858. It is a tender story

of faith, hope, and above all, love.

I have since read and re-read the book Song of Ber-

nadette by Franz Werfel. It tells the simple but profound

story of a communication between the Lady of Lourdes and

this innocent child that is wrapped up, to paraphrase the

author, in a beauty that was far beyond the physical but

which radiated the interior beauty that comes from sublime

goodness, the most attractive of all beauties. It was from

there that the spring of water flowed to bring healing to so

many. It will be a privilege to celebrate Mass in the grotto

this morning. I will certainly remember you in my prayers

at this most sacred spot. See you next week. May God

bless you,

Fr. Michael

UE Elementary School Volunteers Needed

This is the 8th year we are asking parishioners to volunteer as

schools. Volunteers spend 1/2 to 1 1/2 hours one day a week at

the school of their choice.

There is also a need for Math Tutors to teach basic addi-

tion, subtraction, multiplication & division. Anyone interested

in more info, please call Dick Testa at 754-5492.

RESPECT LIFE! Gov. Cuomo’s “Reproductive Health Act” of

2019 has legalized late-term abortions of fully-formed infants in

the womb, expanded the pool of practitioners who can perform

abortions, and has removed legal protections for babies who sur-

vive abortion. As Catholic Christians we need to voice our

protest of this legislation. At the entrances of the church are let-

ters to send to Gov. Cuomo to express our opposition to abortion.

Please take one home, sign it, and mail it in to the address on the

letter; if you prefer, you can drop it off at the rectory or place in

the collection basket, and we will mail all letters together.

Religious Corner

Our Lady of the Rosary

October 7

The feast of Our Lady of the Rosary was instituted to honor Mary

for the Christian victory over the Turks at Lepanto on October 7,

1571. Pope St. Pius V and all Christians had prayed the Rosary

for victory. The Rosary, or the Psalter of the Blessed Virgin

Mary, is one of the best prayers to Mary, the Mother of God.

The Rosary is a Scripture-based prayer. It begins with

the Apostles' Creed, which summarizes the great mysteries of the

Catholic faith. The Our Father, which introduces each mystery, is

from the Gospels. The first part of the Hail Mary is the angel's

words announcing Christ's birth and Elizabeth's greeting to Mary.

St. Pius V officially added the second part of the Hail Mary. The

Mysteries of the Rosary center on the events of Christ's life. There

are four sets of Mysteries: Joyful, Sorrowful, Glorious and––

added by Saint John Paul II in 2002––the Luminous. The repeti-

tion in the Rosary is meant to lead one into restful and contempla-

tive prayer related to each Mystery. The gentle repetition of the

words helps us to enter into the silence of our hearts, where

Christ's spirit dwells. The Rosary can be said privately or with a

group.

The Five Joyful Mysteries are traditionally prayed on Mondays, Sat-

urdays, and, during the season of Advent, on Sundays:

The Annunciation; The Visitation; The Nativity; The Presentation in

the Temple; The Finding in the Temple

The Five Sorrowful Mysteries are traditionally prayed on Tuesdays,

Fridays, and, during the season of Lent, on Sundays:

The Agony in the Garden; The Scourging at the Pillar; The Crown-

ing with Thorns; The Carrying of the Cross; The Crucifixion and

Death

The Five Glorious Mysteries are traditionally prayed on Wednesdays

and, outside the seasons of Advent and Lent, on Sundays:

The Resurrection; The Ascension; The Descent of the Holy Spirit;

The Assumption; The Coronation of Mary

The Five Luminous Mysteries are traditionally prayed on Thursdays:

The Baptism of Christ in the Jordan; The Wedding Feast at Cana;

Jesus' Proclamation of the Coming of the Kingdom of God; The

Transfiguration; The Institution of the Eucharist

A FAMILY PERSPECTIVE from

the Office of Family Life Education (A

Hope Appeal Agency)

Faith is one of those things we just can’t

get enough of! In today’s gospel the apostles asked Jesus to

“Increase our faith.” It is faith in ourselves, our spouse, our

children and our parents which equips us to overlook annoy-

ances, helps us to forgive and urges us to ask forgiveness.

“Lord, increase our faith!”
