The mission of St. Eulalia Parish is to strive to be disciples committed to carrying out the mission of Jesus in our own time and place,

through the celebration of Word and Sacrament, the formation of community, and service to the world.

Dear Parishioners and Friends of St. Eulalia Parish,

Everyone who acknowledges me before others the Son of Man will acknowledge before the angels (lk12:8).Everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but the one who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven (lk 12;10). As so many people are crowding together, to the point of trampling one another underfoot, Jesus speaks directly to His disciples those words to prepare them for the immediate future ministry. Fear of people produces hypocrisy; fear of God produces bold confession and proclamation.

The hypocrisy of the Pharisees is expressed very clearly in the first four days’ Gos-pel readings from what the Pharisees have to say and what Jesus has to tell them. This generation is evil, and seeks sign… (Mon). Jesus speaks directly about the cul-ture we are living in now. As the Pharisees, we tend to focus on our individual

needs, wants, and desires, as well as the achievements we might have. When everything becomes MINE, then there is no room for any other existing persons. Oh, you Pharisees! Although you cleanse the outside of the cup and the dish, inside you are filled with plunder and evil (Tue). Jesus criticizes the Pharisees’ hypocrisy of showing the clean and perfect outside to others and hiding the dirty inside. They ignore God’s love completely, but seek their own honor and fame (Wed). They not only impose unbearable rules on people, but also develop hostilities against Jesus (Thurs).

The passages from Friday and Saturday’s Gospel show us the great encouragement Jesus has for His disciples. Fear the Lord, then confession and proclamation become possible. I tell you, my friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body…Be afraid of the one who after killing has the power to cast into Gehenna (Fri). Jesus explains the reason why His disciples should not be afraid, that is, God knows it all: inside and outside; secret and public. Eve-ryone who acknowledges me before others the Son of the Man will acknowledge before the angels of God. The dis-ciples are the ones who confess and proclaim.

Friends, how often do we realize that we are unwilling to acknowledge Jesus before others? Think quietly: Am I afraid or embarrassed? Or do I simply not know what to tell? Hypocrisy is the worst sin against God. As faithful members of St. Eulalia parish, we understand that we share the same mission as the disciples of Jesus: to strive to be disciples committed to carrying out the mission of Jesus in our own time and place... We pray, through the inter-cession of the Blessed Mother, that there is no room for hypocrisy in our community, nor in our own lives. The Ho-ly Spirit, who is a Spirit of wisdom, teaches us what to say, and how to say it, so that we may bring honor to our God. Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us. God bless,

S O 17 First Reading Isaiah 53:10 - 11 (146B) If the servant of the Lord “gives his life as an offering for sin, he shall see his descendants in a long life.” Responsorial Psalm Psalm 33:4 - 5, 18 - 19, 20, 22 Lord, let your mercy be on us, as we place our trust in you. Second Reading Hebrews 4:14 - 16 Brothers and sisters: “Let us confidently approach the throne of grace.” Gospel Acclamation Mark 10:45 The Son of Man came to serve and to give his life as a ran-som for many. Gospel Mark 10:35 - 45 or 10:42 - 45 Jesus replied to James and John, “The Son of Man did not come to be served but to serve and to give his life as a ran-som for many.” S /C S Monday Oct 18 8:30 Morning Prayer 9:00 Daily Mass/Chen Tuesday Oct 19 9:00 Daily Mass/Chen Wednesday Oct 20 9:00 Daily Mass/Chen Thursday Oct 21 9:00 No Streaming/Savage Friday Oct 22 9:00 No Streaming/Savage Saturday Oct 23 4:00 Vigil Mass/Gross Sunday Oct 24 10:00 Sunday Mass/Savage 5:00 Sunday Mass/McGowan

Today’s Gospel gives us a glimpse at the hu-man side of the disciples – wanting to get fa-vored treatment and jockeying for places of honor in the kingdom. Jesus is quick to point out that being his follower is not about getting honored or special treatment, but rather it means being a servant to others. As you begin a new week, where might Jesus be inviting you to do some service for someone that will go unnoticed by others but not by Christ. Ask for the grace you will need to respond generous-ly.

I was walking on the well-worn cobblestones in the old market town in the west of England. Melksham was Thomas Hardy countryside (Tess of the Turbeville's, The Mayor of Casterbridge, and many others) and was still marked with the signs of an era gone by. The tiny, terraced homes and cottages led the way towards the sound of the Friday night bellringers at St. Michael and All Angels nearby.

As I walked up the narrow street leading to Canon Square, the bells became considerably louder, beck-oning me towards a Church which did not have a Friday evening service, but did have the bellringers of many years gathering for their evening practice.

Walking through the graveyard towards the side entrance, the Church was immersed in complete dark-ness aside from a light emitting from the north facing and near the transept. I walked around the corner to the entrance which showed an open door, stone steps, and the lengthy climb for the bellringers to reach the belltower of the Church. The bells were now very loud as I stood outside for a while, listen-ing to various peels as they practiced for the upcoming weekend and weekly services.

It occurred to me the importance of these Church bells over the years. When few towns had, or could afford clocks, the clocktower of the Church was a way of noting the beginning and end of the workday. Cities such as nearby Bath used the tower at the Abbey to notify all those in a 14 mile surround what the time was; time to rise, time to begin work, start lunch, end the day, all nicely punctuated with pray-er times. In recent years, these bells have had to be muted as they create too much disruption to the commerce and traders in the city. Seems like everyone wants to control the timeline of their workers

and environment without the overreach of a clock-tower or Church informing them of how their day is progressing.

There seems, to me at least, to be a direct relation-ship between the peel of these bells and the gift of hope. Beckoning us to listen for a moment to a call to prayer, recognizing a union, such as a marriage, remembering the death of Christ on a Friday after-noon, or even better, His resurrection.

Bells are an audible sign of God's hope in our world, the oncoming of grace and a reminder of his presence. Here we use them extensively to punctu-ate the day with this special language of God, one we can all hear.

I wonder what your impression bells, particularly Church bells, make in your life? Or have made in your life? Do they invoke hope? Or just open that door to us, as bellringers for others in their lives?
