Question: How can I practice gratitude in my everyday life?
Answer: God has given each of us many blessings. Fostering an “attitude of gratitude” might be easier than you think. Simple, concrete practices can help us to be more thankful more often. Incorporate it into your dinner with your spouse, or as you tuck the kids into bed at night. “What are three things you’re thankful for today?” Make a habit of writing one note a week to someone special in your life, thanking them for how they’ve impacted you. This is also a good practice in the workplace. Consider opening your weekly meetings with a quick round of gratitude sharing. “I’m grateful John helped me with that last-minute change to my presentation last week. I wouldn’t have finished it in time for the meeting without him.”
Another way is to designate a few minutes to thank God. This could be the first bit of your daily prayer time or after you receive communion on Sundays. You can also integrate it into your daily routine. How about while brushing your teeth? There’s probably nothing so important it can’t wait two minutes. Brush your teeth, quiet your mind, and thank God from your heart for His blessings throughout the day. Get creative! Any moment is an opportunity to praise and thank God.
STEWARDSHIP
GOSPEL MEDITATION “Ten lepers met him. They stood at a distance …” In the ancient world and into the Middle Ages, there was no treatment for leprosy. People thought it was wildly contagious and were suspicious of any skin diseases. Lepers were isolated from civil society. This isolation was uphold by the Mosaic Law. Should there be a healing from leprosy, the former leper was to present himself to a priest to certify the healing. Like Jesus commands, “Show yourselves to the priests.” The person would then undergo a religious rite to be formally reintroduced to society. In other words, a leper got their life back. So why didn’t they come back? As they were going they were cleansed. And one of them, realizing he had been healed, returned, glorifying God in a loud voice; and he fell at the feet of Jesus and thanked him.” Of the ten lepers healed by Christ, only one returns with a grateful heart. The others, perhaps, were thankful enough. Perhaps they couldn’t believe their luck, and they hastened to the priests to confirm the healing. They were more than willing to leave their life of rejection and isolation behind. Why take any steps backward, when the way ahead was so attractive? An attitude like this is perhaps understandable, but few would admire it. How about you? Do you come back? If you’ve ever had the experience of getting what you hoped and prayed for, you know that this can sometimes be easier said than done. When we’ve wanted something badly enough, how easy it can be to focus on the gift rather than the giver. The truth is, God is daily offering us gifts: the gift of our existence, of the created world, of family and friends, of modern conveniences. Even in times of distress, there is always something to be thankful for. This Sunday, give yourself a gratitude check. Count your blessings. Glorify God and thank Him for the gift of your life!

AROUND THE PARISH Upcoming Events
WE ARE BAPTIZED AND SENT! Next week is World Mission Sunday, in a special Extraordinary Missionary Month. We are called through our baptism to be part of the Church’s missionary efforts, through prayer, self-sacrifice and support of missionary vocations through material aid. Remembering that we are baptized and sent as a Universal Church of Christ on mission in the world, we can . . . PRAY for the Church’s worldwide missionary work. OFFER financial HELP and CHARITY through the Society for the Propagation of the Faith for vulnerable communities throughout Asia, Africa, Latin America and Pacific Islands.
SHEPHERDS FIELD OLIVE WOOD HANDICRAFTS A group from the Holy Land (Bethlehem & Jerusalem) will be in our Parish next weekend, October 19th/20th to sell religious articles to support the Catholic Christian minorities in Bethlehem. As a tradition many of the Catholic families in the Holy Land work in small workshops to produce religious articles from olive wood to help support their families. Your purchases will further help support the Catholic minorities still living in Bethlehem. Christmas is around the corner! Please come by the tables before / after each Masses.
PURIFIED . . . A Life-Changing Event for Families (Ages 13+) Why Purified? The Church teaches that parents are the primary educators of their children. Therefore, the ideal way to transmit the message of chastity is in and through the family. Unfortunately, parents often don’t know where to begin this discussion, or they’re left out of the conversation altogether. Our goal with Purified is to work with you to bring the parents and teens together in an experience where they can both learn God’s plan for human love, and thus open up an opportunity for them to speak more openly about this issue at home. Also included in the evening is a time of Eucharistic Adoration with praise and worship, and an opportunity for everyone to receive the sacrament of Reconciliation. This format transforms a simple motivational talk into an miniature retreat for the family, allowing them to encounter the source of purity, Jesus Christ.
When: Sunday, March 1, 2020 / Where: St. Patrick’s St. Vincent High School, Benicia, Ca. / Register: Chastity.com/Purified
Info: (707) 280-0717 / Cost: $20
TOOTSIE ROLL DRIVE / CAMPAIGN The Knights of Columbus will be sponsoring a campaign, often referred to as the Tootsie Roll Drive, benefiting the Intellectually Disabled of Solano County, during the weekend of October 26/27. Members of the Knights of Columbus will distribute Tootsie Rolls after all Masses, in exchange for donations used to support programs geared to improve the quality of life for people with disabilities, in particular, Special Olympics, Camp Recreation, and Pace Solano.
