I AM THANKFUL
For the wife who says it's hot dogs tonight, because she is home with me, and not out with someone else. For the husband who is on the sofa being a couch potato, because he is home with me and not out at the bars.
For the teenager who is complaining about doing dishes, because it means she is at home, not on the streets. For the taxes I pay, because it means I am employed. For the mess to clean up after a party, because it means I have been surrounded by friends. For the clothes that fit a little too snug,
because it means I have enough to eat. For my shadow that watches me work, because it means I am out in the sunshine.
For a lawn that needs mowing, windows that need cleaning and gutters that need fixing, because it means I have a home.
For all the complaining I hear about the government, because it means we have freedom of speech.
For the parking spot I find at the far end of the parking lot, because it means I am capable of walking and I have been blessed with transportation. For my huge heating bill, because it means I am warm.
For the lady behind me in church who sings off key, because it means I can hear.For the pile of laundry and ironing, because it means I have clothes to wear.
For weariness and aching muscles at the end of the day, because it means I have been capable of working hard.
For the alarm that goes off in the early morning hours, because it means I am alive.For the priests/religious who sacrifice their lives for my sake, because without them I would not know our God.
For the Catholic Church who guides me and keeps me in the Faith, because without it I would fall and never get up.
For Jesus who died for me, because I know that God loves me and wants me with him in Heaven.

St. Joan of Arc Catholic School will hold its annual service to recognize and thank all those from the military branches who have bravely served our country. The service is on Tuesday, November 10 at 9:15am in the church.
If you are not already on our guest list, or if you know a parish veteran who would like to participate, please call the School Office at 561-392-7974 for further details.
AttentionAll Veterans
National Vocation Awareness Week
Pray for Vocations During the First Week of November
National Vocation Awareness Week (NVAW) will be celebrated in our country November 1-7. This is an annual week-long celebration dedicated to vocations in priesthood, diaconate and consecrated life through prayer and education, and to renew our prayers and support for those who are considering one of these particular vocations. Please ask Our Lord for more dedicated, holy priests, deacons and consecrated men and women: “May they be inspired by Jesus Christ, supported by our faith community, and respond generously to God’s gift of a vocation."
Church fact: NVAW began in 1976 when the U. S. bishops designated the 28th Sunday of the year for NVAW. In 1997, this celebration was moved to coincide with the Feast of the Baptism of the Lord, which falls on January 13 in 2013. Beginning in 2014, NVAW was moved to the first full week of November.

PASTOR’S MESSAGE
The relationship between a food packing day and a baby shower may not be obvious at first glance. There is, however, an unbroken link between the two activities because both of them form a part of the seamless garment of Catholic Respect Life truths. Both activities, caring for the unborn and infants and feeding the hungry are our ways of living the spiritual and corporal works of mercy. We believe that all life from cradle to grave is a sacred gift from God and one that we must reverence and care for. The most precious gift of life is often a fragile and vulnerable one that needs compassionate protection and nurturance. Our loving Creator God made all from nothing and placed us within creation as its stewards. We are passionately concerned for the unborn children of this world because they are the most vulnerable and often at risk. We also have a responsibility for all of our starving brothers and sisters around the world. We know that the world potential to feed our population is great. We, however, must figure out how to accomplish the harnessing of creativity and will so that we can end the scourge of world hunger. The activities described below are great examples how together we can make a difference for life right here in Boca Raton. St. Joan of Arc 4th Annual You(th) vs. Hunger Food Packing EventNearly 1 billion people go to bed hungry each night, with many going for days without food. Nearly 16,000 children die from hunger related causes each day - that’s one child every five seconds. Missionaries in the poorest of countries are desperate for life-saving food to feed children and their families who are struggling to find meals each day.
St. Joan of Arc and the youth in our community are joining forces this Saturday. They will pack thousands of meals to be sent to starving children and families abroad and help fight world hunger in the name of Jesus. At last year’s You(th) vs. Hunger Food Packing Event our youth packed more than 80,000 nutritional meals for impoverished children in developing countries. This year we are expecting to pack 100,000 meals! We are very enthusiastic to continue participating in this exciting event.
St. Joan of Arc Annual Baby ShowerThe SJA Respect Life Ministry is commissioned by the church to be an instrument for information, resources and action that fosters the sanctity of life from conception to death. Annually, St. Joan of Arc organizes a Baby Shower in the church in support of Birthline/Lifeline Program & Pregnancy Care Centers. Parishioners bring an unwrapped baby gift that is placed on the altar before and after all Masses this weekend. The Birthline/Lifeline Pregnancy Care Program promotes the sanctity of life and offers pregnancy care services at its pregnancy care center locations. Services are offered free of charge to all clients who meet basic criteria. At the pregnancy care centers, women coping with an unplanned pregnancy can access compassionate counseling regarding adoption, alternatives to pregnancy terminations and more. When a client who is abortion-minded sees her baby with an ultrasound, she has a change of heart and chooses life! Other programs of Birthline/Lifeline include their Adoption Project, Speakers Guild and Style for Life. The SJA Columbiettes will be at all Masses assisting our parishioners to take the Baby Items to the altar and our SJA Youth Group will help load the Birthline van. May God continue to bless our St. Joan of Arc ministries!

Let's pray for our Priests:Lord Jesus, we your people pray to You for our priests. You have given them to us for our needs.We pray for them in their needs.
We know that You have made them priests in the likeness of your own priesthood.You have consecrated them, set them aside, anointed them, filled them with the Holy Spirit, appointed them to teach, to preach, to minister, to console, to forgive, and to feed us with Your Body and Blood.
Indeed, we thank You for choosing them from among us, so that they understand us as we understand them, suffer with us and rejoice with us, worry with us and trust with us, share our beings, our lives, our faith. We ask that You give them this day the gift You gave Your chosen ones on the way to Emmaus: Your presence in their hearts, Your holiness in their souls, Your joy in their spirits. An let them see You face to face in the breaking of Eucharistic Bread.
We pray to You, O Lord, with Mary, the mother of priests, for Your priests and for ours.
Amen.

“El Dios que saco la luz de la oscuridad, el Dios que es esencia de Amor, nos abre los ojos a la luz para que podamos ver la vida como realmente es. Dios que es una familia nos ha creado a su imagen, interdependientes, para relacionarnos con El y con los demás.
Jesús es la luz de la raza humana. Todas las cosas llegaron a ser a través de Él. Dios tanto amo al mundo que nos dio su Hijo Único, Él es un don para nosotros. Por su Pasión, Jesús aniquilo
la muerte, y en el Bautismo se nos da el Espíritu que da vida abriéndonos a cada uno a la Luz.
Amar a otros verdaderamente es superar la muerte el verdadero amor, amor puro, amor honesto destruye la oscuridad. Hemos de hacer el amor visible, el amor es más fuerte que cualquier oscuridad, nuestro testimonio es amar, para dar luz.
La familia es el centro de la fe, del amor, de la esperanza, donde todas las promesas de Dios se vuelven reales. Llevamos el futuro de nuestra humanidad en nuestras familias. Somos custodios de la vida; TODA VIDA HUMANA. Debemos defenderla desde la concepción hasta la muerte natural.
La Familia es el lugar donde desaparecen la soledad, el dolor, el miedo y los prejuicios, donde no somos juzgados, debido a que, en la familia, estamos llamados a servir a los demás y darnos a nosotros mismos, estanos en la familia para amar con un amor que destruye el pecado. Debemos distinguir aquellas realidades que el Espíritu Santo ya nos está revelando: la familia es verdaderamente un prodigio de armonía, de amor a la vida y esperanza en la eternidad, es la cuna de la de la fe y escuela de caridad. En la familia tenemos que ser puros, libres de todo odio y de todo rencor.”
