MASS INTENTIONS & CALENDAR FOR WEEK OF OCT. 6TH - 13TH

(Special Intentions)

Lord increase my faith….There was a religious sister who was a midwife. She taught in a university and she practiced her profession in a city hospital. Into the hospital walked a lost, young teenager, many months pregnant, not even aware of the fact, but sick.“I’ve got news for you,” the midwife said. “You’re pregnant.” There was no boy or man who might claim the name of father, no family, no support group, no promise. As I recall, the young girl did not even know how or when she became pregnant, so meager was her knowledge of “reproductive rights.” The sister-servant promised the young mother-to-be that she would be there for her. Each week a visit could be made and lessons taught: how to eat properly and take care of a pregnant body, how to prepare for delivery, how to live. And each week, visits were made. After the novena of months passed, birth came. One new mother’s child, with the midwife’s guidance, was fed rightly, nursed and cleaned, cared and worked for.Then the young mother disappeared. She was gobbled up by this heartless world, lost in the maelstrom of this culture, the American dream, which for her and her child was a nightmare. She went defenseless be-fore the pimps of pleasure and power. She vanished into the dangerous night.She was not heard from again until six years later, when in her early twenties she wrote a note to her midwife-mother. It was an invitation, the message now blurred in my mind. “I am sorry I waited so long to thank you, but I wanted to surprise you. I wanted to be like you, since you were someone so good and loving.”The invitation was to a graduation for Licensed Practical Nurses. Somehow, stronger than all the threat of violence and abuse, more appealing than any seduction of the moment, was the gift and promise of a person’s witness.We continue to serve Jesus. Admittedly it is easy to give in to discouragement, but we fight it. We can change lives. God’s grace can triumph.

MEMORY VERSE FOR THE WEEK“God did not give us a spirit of cowardice but

rather of power and love and self-control.”~2 Timothy 1:7

Another study by Jeff Cavins. James was an apostle and eyewitness of the Resurrection. He presents to

us a collection of “pearls” containing wise advice for right living. Based on its contents, it might be classified as “wisdom literature” on the order of Proverbs or Jesus’ Beatitudes in the gospel of Matthew. In this letter are strung a collection of “pearls” of wisdom that, internalized and put into practice, will enable us to live the life of Christ in a world that operates according to a different type of wisdom entirely.

Bible study is on Wednesday at 9:30am or 7:00pm in the Alpha-Omega room. Please call Nancy Benton,747-6486, to order you

study materials or to obtain more in formation.
