Love is a canvas furnished by nature and embroidered
by imagination. —Voltaire
Come down quickly, for today I must stay at
your house.
—Luke 19:5
GOD IS WITH US The book of Wisdom tells us that the spirit of God is in all things. What a wonderful thought, and what a wonderful image to keep in front of us as we travel down life’s road. For if the path is revealed in the treading, it’s good to know that God is with us—and all around us—every step of the way. But Paul knows that this divine presence is not timid. Instead, God calls out to us, and Paul prays that we, along with the Thessalonians, might be made worthy of that call. And who knows more about God’s call than Zacchaeus, the tax collector? Jesus called him out of a tree, for goodness’ sake. Or perhaps more correctly, as we reflect upon the end of today’s Gospel reading, for heaven’s sake. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

A cop pulls over a car full of nuns. The cop says, “Sister, the speed limit on this highway is 55 mph. Why are you going so slow?” Sister replies, “I saw a lot of signs that said 41, not 55.” The cop says, Sister , that's the name of the highway, not the speed limit.” “Silly me;” the embarrassed nun says, "Thanks for letting me know. I'll be more careful.” But then the cop glances in the back seat where the other nuns are quaking with fear. He asks, “Excuse me, Sister, what's wrong with your friends?" Sister says, “Oh, we just got off Highway 101.”

St. Barnabas School News SCHOOL STUDENT NON-DISCRIMINATION POLICY The school, mindful of its mission to be a witness to the love of Christ for all, admits students regardless of race, color or national and/or ethnic origin to all rights, privileges, programs and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school. The school does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, disability, medical condition, sex or national and/or ethnic origin in the administration of educational policies, admissions policies, scholarship and loan programs, and athletic and other school-administered programs, although certain athletic leagues and other programs may limit participation and some archdiocesan schools operate as single sex schools. While the school does not discriminate against students with special needs, a full range of services may not always be available to them. Decisions concerning the admission and continued enrollment of a student in the school are based upon the student’s emotional, academic and physical abilities and the resources available to the school in meeting the student’s needs.

First Friday Adoration ADORATION OF THE BLESSED SACRAMENT Friday, November 4th, 2016 – 8:30 AM to 7:00 PM Come join us for meditative prayer before Our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament every First Friday of the month, starting after the 8:00 am Mass until 7:00 pm, followed by a Mass at 7:30 pm. We invite our parishioners to spend some time before the Blessed Sacrament and pray for an increase in vocations and your own personal intentions. “The Church and the world have
a great need of Eucharistic worship. Jesus waits for us in this
Sacrament of Love. Let us be generous with our time in going
to meet Him in adoration and in contemplation that is full of faith… May our adoration never cease.”
– Saint John Paul II

10/26 Love is a patient effort by persons who dedicate themselves to listening and drawing closer to others. 10/25 Today there is an urgent need for politics and economics to be centered on the service of
life. 10/23 We are disciples, but also missionaries, bringing Christ wherever he asks us to be present. 10/22 “Do not be afraid! Open wide the doors for Christ!” – Saint John Paul II, 22 October 1978 10/21 The sick, the poor, as well as the unborn, are all made in the image of God and worthy of the highest respect. 10/20 Let us try always to be united with Jesus, following him especially on the way of the cross. 10/19 Holiness is to live by being loving and offering our Christian witness in our everyday lives. 10/18 Lord, come to our aid! Grant us peace, guide our steps in the way of peace. Mary, our Mother, pray for us.
The recent “October count” tracking the statistics of participation at Sunday Mass calls to mind the situations of churches where it is difficult or impossible for Catholics to worship freely. This is especially striking in English Catholic history, as freedom of worship was systematically dismantled at the time of the Reformation. It seems that most English people retained deeply Catholic sympathies throughout the period of religious upheaval. Catholics who refused to participate in the public worship of the Church of England were called “recusants,” and beginning with the reign of Elizabeth I, they were subject to strict penalties. Recusant literally means “a person refusing to obey a command.” Most of those laws were in force until the early 1800s, and Catholics were not entirely emancipated from the duty of Anglican worship until 1829. Recusants paid heavy fines for not attending the state church. Holding on to Catholic faith was therefore a luxury of the very rich, who maintained private chapels, and sent their daughters and sons to English convents and monastery schools on the continent. Remarkably, the first among all British peers, the Dukes of Norfolk, the hereditary Earls Marshal of England, have never given up their Catholic faith. Many of these wealthy recusant families founded the colony of Maryland, and later many members of the old Catholic families continued on to the Kentucky frontier in search of greater religious freedom. —Rev. James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
