PASTOR’S NOTES . . .
October 29, 2017
We often think of the Ten Commandments given to Moses by the Lord on Mount Sinai, but there are many more. The Law of Moses, as it’s often called, contains 631 rules, regulations, and laws regarding every aspect of life for the Hebrew people. The Pharisees want to trip Jesus up, just like they tried earlier with the question about taxes. They ask which is the greatest Law, thinking that Jesus will say something about the Sabbath, or some other kind of law.
Once again, he turns the tables on those who question him. He says that love of God and love of neighbor is the greatest commandment. They can’t argue against his wisdom. There is an aspect of the commandment to love God and neighbor that we often fail to realize: they are two sides of the same coin, and we can’t choose one or the other! If we love God, we will love our neighbor, and vice versa. Saint John says that, if a person says that he loves God and hates his neighbor, he is a liar. That is some very strong language. Loving God is easy, but love of neighbor is a challenging command. Our “neighbor” is not just those closest to us, either at home, or at work, or in the parish. Take a second look at the first reading from the Book of Exodus: God commands his people to care for the “alien” and those who are defenseless. Let’s put it in language we understand. We are commanded by God to show our love for Him by loving
immigrants, transients ( homeless), those in prison, and anyone in need, regardless of our own fear and prejudices. The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops had this to say: “Prejudice can lurk unnoticed in the soul. Without
prayerful reflection, it can feed on the fear of what is different. It can grow into overt racism. But self-reflection is not enough. It must lead to action. May the work of the Church serve as a call to conversion for those hiding behind white hoods and Nazi symbols. The vile chants of violence against African Americans and other people of color, the Jewish people, immigrants, and others offend our faith, but unite our resolve. Let us not allow the forces of hate to deny the intrinsic dignity of every human person. Let the nation and world see the one body of Christ move to the defense of our sisters and brothers who are threatened.” Fr. Tony

ANNUNCIATION PARISH ACTIVITIES
DIOCESAN ACTIVITIES
Reminder: Friday – November 3rd – First Friday Attention generous givers! PSR is again taking up a
collection for Cross Catholic Outreach this year. This organization helps the poorest of the poor. I will take up a collection from PSR students on Wednesday, November 8th.
Here are some upcoming opportunities to strengthen faith life:
High School - There will be a Reignite Retreat on January 6-7, at Tolton High School, Columbia. This is offered to the entire diocese, spread your horizon and meet new people! The March For Life is January 17-20, 2018. An awesome experience for those attending. If anyone is interested in attending either one of these events, please let me know. Ruthie Adams, 573/230-5596
VOCATION VOICE: You shall love your neighbor as
yourself. It's a big world, in need of lots of neighborly people. Extend your hand today, tomorrow, for the rest of your life. Can you support someone who is called to priestly or religious life?
Continue to pray for Kendall Ketterlin, son of Kay Connell, who is beginning another scholastic year in the seminary. We are so blessed to have a future priest from our parish!
Soon we will offer the opportunity for special home prayer. There will be a vocation crucifix to keep in your home for a couple of weeks to be a reminder to pray for vocations. If you would like to take advantage of this blessing, please e-mail Sister Mary Ruth ([email protected]) with your name and which week-end Mass you attend.
Ordinarily, in October we attach information about stewardship opportunities, ways to serve the parish and community, and ask for volunteers. Almost always the same people respond that we already have on our list. Thank you to those many very generous parishioners. This month those papers will be available in the church entrance for anyone not on the list to respond by filling out and returning them to the box provided in the church entrance. Thank you! It is time to elect members to the parish council. If you would like to serve your parish in this capacity, please contact Evelyn Jobe or S. Mary Ruth to be put on the ballot. Election will be in December. The major role is to help support the faith growth of Annunciation Parish. This means to be a practicing Catholic and to help the pastor in his role of leading all of us. Pray about this and see if the Lord may be asking you to serve your parishioners in this capacity. Those currently on the council are: Tawna Dutcher, Julie Haslag, Ruthie Adams, DiAnne Naros, and Eric Schroeter. Those whose term is up are: Emilio Juarez, Becky Bloch, and Evelyn Jobe. Evelyn can be re-elected. If you have questions, feel free to contact any of us.

Moniteau Christian Ministry Center wants to thank our parish for helping with the egg carton need. At the present, the need is over. They have a good supply in case they need egg cartons right away. HOWEVER, MCMC is constantly in need of plastic grocery bags. So please keep the grocery bags coming. You may put them in the basement stairwell area. Thank you, thank you! The churches in the California Ministerial Alliance each take a turn at gathering food items for the Moniteau Christian Ministries Center (MCMC). November is our month. Please bring food items any time during the month. There is a box in the lobby area for your donations. Thanks for sharing in this special community ministry. (They request canned and nonperishable food items.)
CATHOLIC STEWARDSHIP APPEAL 2018 We’re nearing the end of this year’s Catholic Stewardship Appeal. For all those who have chosen to join their diocesan brothers and sisters by making a commitment to this year’s campaign, we thank you very much. Opportunities will continue to be available to those who have not yet made a pledge. If you no longer have a pledge card, look for a CSA envelope in church at the end of the pew, or in the back of church—or go online to diojeffcity.org. Any gift you can make will be greatly appreciated.
