Reflection “Mary is the first and best of the disciples. We see in her life her obedience to God in her fiat(her “yes”) but also her faithful love for Jesus. She teaches us when it is time to go “in haste” as she did to Elizabeth to celebrate the birth of John the Baptist (Luke 1:39). Mary also teaches us to ponder all things in our hearts (Luke 2:19). Mary sets an example for us, showing us what it means to be a disciple and catechist. Invoke her intercession in your ministry, and call upon her often. She knows our struggles, our concerns, and our joys. Share your heart with her!”

*Reminder: Every parish Faith formation program for children K-12 (Religious Educa-tion, Youth Group, Confirmation preparation, RCIA adapted for children) must present the new safe environment program Circle of Grace to the children/youth this Catechetical Year.

2nd World Day of the Poor, Nov. 18: Pope Francis has released his message for the 2018 World Day of the Poor, which is observed throughout the world on the 33rd Sunday of ordinary time, this year, Nov 18, 2018. The message reflects on Psalm 34 and is titled: This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him. Pope Fran-cis is urging all Christians to combat in-difference to the suffering and marginali-zation of the most needy. This year's message affirms the work of CCHD to empower and stand in solidarity with those living in poverty. Here is a pastoral aid, including a homily help and Prayers of the Faithful, for use on the World Day of the Poor. http://www.usccb.org/issues-and-action/human-life-and-dignity/poverty/upload/world-day-of-poor-2018-pastoral-aid.pdf Read the Pope’s mes-sage here: https://w2.vatican.va/content/francesco/en/messages/poveri.index.html
November and All Souls’ Day Praying among our faithful brothers and sisters brings comfort and companionship for those who grieve. All Souls’ Day, November 2nd, celebrates this custom. If you have lost a child during infancy or pregnancy, on this day you can hold your lost little one in your heart and in the community of others at the cele-bration of mass. May All Souls’ Day bring you peace and comfort. If you are griev-ing after an abortion and would like to be connected with professional help includ-ing counseling, spiritual direction and reconciliation, please call the confidential Project Rachel message line: (505) 831-8238.
Protecting and Respecting Human Life and Dignity.
Schedule your presentation! As the CCHD Intern, I (Rachel Baca) am excited to teach fel-low Catholics about Catholic
Social Teaching (CST). Since October is Respect Life Month, our due diligence as Catholics is on fire now more than ever to protect the life and dignity of the hu-man person, which is also the 1st princi-ple of CST. As our lives go on, we can sometimes forget about those around us and only focus on ourselves, but human lives are constantly under attack from modern societal laws and choices. So as individuals, families, groups, and organi-zations, we need to show God how much we respect his people, by praying, reach-ing out, learning, and acting together as the Body of Christ. The vulnerable need our help. I am available to do interactive presentations, retreats, and resources on CCHD, Catholic Social Teaching, and Pov-erty Awareness. See box for information.

Quote of the Month from Pope Francis
“The Lord promises re-
freshment and freedom to
all the oppressed of our world, but he
needs us to fulfill his promise. He needs
our eyes to see the needs of our broth-
ers and sisters. He needs our hands to
offer them help. He needs our voice to
protest the injustices committed thanks
to the silence, often complicit, of so
many. I should really speak of many
silences: the silence of common sense;
the silence that thinks, ‘it’s always been
done this way;’ the silence of ‘us’ as
opposed to ‘you.’ Above all, the Lord
needs our hearts to show his merciful
love towards the least, the outcast, the
abandoned, the marginalized.”
- Pope Francis, Homily, Holy Mass for
Migrants, July 6, 2018
