World Mission Sunday
At the initiative of Pope Pius XI in 1926, the second last
Sunday during October became known as World Mission
Sunday. Catholics throughout the world are invited to pray
for and give to the missions. The collection this weekend is
organized by the Pontifical Missions Society. The funds
collected assist some 1,250 mission dioceses under the
responsibility of the Congregation for the Evangelization of
Peoples. As agreed by the Holy See and the Bishops of
Canada, a portion of the Canadian contributions to this
collection will continue to be used until 2020 to assist six
dioceses in Northern Canada which for many years also has
been under the jurisdiction of the Congregation.
Message from Fr. Placid: Our Parish needs a fundraising
organizer to form a fundraising committee, and team up with the
committee to raise fund for projects that we have in our church.
Please contact Fr. Placid directly if you can serve the parish in this
capacity. God bless you.
Sacraments: Children in grade 2 are eligible to receive and
celebrate the Sacraments of First Reconciliation and Holy
Communion. Parents are advised to register them in the Parish
Office as soon as possible and claim their text books to assist the
parents and child in their initial preparation. A suggested donation
of $50.00 ($ 25.00 - Sacraments of First Reconciliation and $25.00
- Holy Communion) to cover the expenses in the procurement of
the materials (parent’s guide and child’s book) is sincerely
appreciated.
Mass Intentions: Let’s remember our beloved dead by offering
mass for them. Let’s celebrate birthdays, anniversaries in
thanksgiving by offering the same.
Gospel Luke 18.9-14 www.loyolapress.com
Jesus tells the parable of the proud Pharisee who prayed from his
self-importance and the tax collector who prayed humbly.
Gospel Reflection
The second parable that Jesus tells in Luke 18 addresses attitude in
prayer. In contrasting the prayer of the Pharisee with the prayer of
the tax collector, Jesus teaches his disciples to pray in humility
before God. Jesus again surprises his listeners by showing the tax
collector as the example of faith, rather than the Pharisee.
Remember that Pharisees were members of a sect of Judaism
active in Jesus' time. They taught an oral interpretation of the Law
of Moses as the basis for Jewish piety. If anyone would be a model
for prayer, a Pharisee was a likely candidate. In contrast, Jesus
offers the tax collector as a model for prayer. Tax collectors were
collaborators with the Roman authorities in a system that allowed
the tax collectors to line their own pockets by charging in excess of
the defined taxes. Yet, in this parable, Jesus offers the humility of
the tax collector as a model for the prayer of a disciple. The parable
reminds us that when we pray, we must remember our need for
God in our lives. If we are too full of ourselves, there is too little
room for God's grace to work in us.
Family Connection In the family, one sometimes observes a level of competition
between children for parent attention, for acknowledgement of
their abilities. Somehow, children seem to internalize that the
attention given to one member of the family diminishes the
attention given to another. In this way, children can often sound
like the Pharisee in Jesus' parable. Parents who provide continual
reminders to their children that they are loved for who they are, not
for what they do, help children develop a healthy spirituality. As a
family, talk about what it means to compare oneself to another.
Discuss whether it is helpful to compare oneself to another. In what
ways might this be positive? (when it motivates one to use one's
talents) In what circumstances might this be unhelpful? (when it
proves discouraging, when it prevents one from valuing the
abilities of another) As a family, read today's Gospel, Luke 18:9-
14. Discuss: What was wrong about the prayer of the Pharisee?
How can we emulate the prayer of the tax collector? Pray together
as a family in thanksgiving for the blessing that is each member of
your family. Pray that your family will be free from unhealthy
competition. Pray in thanksgiving that God's love for us is
unconditional.
