A Note from Fr. Quealy

A thought to ponder: There is a thin line that separates laughter and pain, comedy and tragedy, humor and hurt. -Erma Bombeck

God bless, Fr. Quealy

“Say the Rosary every day to bring peace to the world.” (Ref: 1st apparition of Our Lady of Fatima on May 13, 1917)

“…It is with sadness that I come to you for the third time within the month requesting your consideration of a special collection and/or a gift from your parish…” "My sadness has to do with the number of recent natural disasters that have caused significant losses of life and homes for so many. First there was Hurricane Harvey. This was followed by Hurricane Irma. Now, I come to you to assist the victims of Hurricane Maria that has caused devastation in Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic, as well as to assist the victims of the earthquakes in Mexico.” Timothy Michael Cardinal Dolan Archbishop of New York Please Note: this weekend we will hold a special collection for the victims of Hurricane Maria and the earthquakes in Mexico.

Announced intentions for the 2018 O.L.S. Mass Book will be accepted beginning Saturday, October 21 (after the 9am Mass) from 9:30am until 2pm in the rectory office. Parishioners are invited to arrange up to 3 Sunday Masses and 6 weekday Masses at a cost of $15 per Mass. Requests will not be taken on Sunday, October 22. The Mass Book will reopen on Monday, October 23.

He must have been very convincing or your parishioners are just naturally lavish givers. Thank you for welcoming Br. Alfred and please thank the parishioners for their overwhelming support of our overseas missions. Our students in Rwanda, Haiti, Bangladesh, the Philippines and Liberia will benefit from this collection and the several others taken up over the summer. We are all missionaries and evidently the parishioners of Our Lady of Sorrows understand and have acted upon it. God bless you all.” Sincerely, Br. Rene D. Roy, F.M.S., Mission Appeal Director *Marist Brothers

A PERSPECTIVE ON THE SUNDAY READINGS HIS WORD TODAY by Rev. William J. Reilly

27th Sunday in Ordinary Time - October 8, 2017 “Brothers and sisters. Have no anxiety at all, but in everything by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, make your requests known to God. Then the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.”… “What more was there to do for my vineyard that I had not done?” The two verses of scripture today provide a prescription for our prayer life, as our response for all that the Lord has done for us. What more could He have done? Out of love and concern God sent Jesus to restore a broken world, like the sour grapes, to a loving relationship with the Father. He has done everything. Now our response. Our prayer life begins with thanksgiving because of what He has and continues to do. Our prayer life consists of an ‘attitude of gratitude’ as we discover His abiding presence with us. We need not go searching; the Lord is here, and now. The Lord wants us to ask, our petition, as we express both our need and dependence. When we approach God in prayer with joy and confidence, the fruit will be His peace. When we read what was written before, remember the words ACTS – Adoration, Contrition, Thanksgiving, Supplication.

Lord, I am aware of your goodness to me and offer myself to you.
