2015 Catholic Services Appeal
A big “THANK YOU!” to everyone who was able to contribute to this year’s CSA Appeal. Through your
generosity, we have received at total of 252 pledges totaling $80,942. We fell just a little short of our tar-
get of $84,627. The shortage of $3,685 will be paid from our general fund. For those who have not made
a pledge, it is still not too late. Pledges can still be made by mailing them to the Parish Office or by put-
ting them in a clearly marked envelope in the Sunday collection basket.

When Pope Francis
addressed Congress
Pope Francis, in an address to a joint
meeting of Congress, encouraged
lawmakers to work together to solve the
problems of ordinary Americans and to
show compassion for people across the
globe who are suffering from war and
hunger.
His message touched on some of the
biggest political controversies of our
day, — immigration and the migration
crisis in Europe, the death penalty,
abortion, the arms trade, poverty and
religious extremism. “We must accept
all people as our children . . . We must
protect life at all stages.”
He did not tell us who we should be
but focused on who we already are.
"A nation can be considered great when
it defends liberty as Lincoln did, when it
fosters a culture which enables people to
'dream' of full rights for all their brothers
and sisters, as Martin Luther King
sought to do; when it strives for justice
and the cause of the oppressed, as
Dorothy Day did by her tireless work,
the fruit of a faith which becomes
dialogue and sows peace in the
contemplative style of Thomas Merton."
(all Americans)
In conclusion, the pope says:
"In these remarks I have sought to
present some of the richness of your
cultural heritage, of the spirit of the
American people. It is my desire that
this spirit continue to develop and grow,
so that as many young people as
possible can inherit and dwell in a land
which has inspired so many people to
dream. "God bless America!"
Operation Christmas Child
This year, we will be participating in
Operation Christmas Child again, which
is run by Samaritan’s Purse. Through
this program, we are filling shoe boxes
to be sent to needy children in third
world countries. For many of these
children, this may be the only Christmas
gift they have ever received.
Here is a list of acceptable items to be
put in the boxes, most of which can be
purchased pretty inexpensively from the
dollar store. Please feel free to visit their
website for more information,
www.samaritanspurse.org.
Please, nothing used or damaged, toy
guns or knives, military figures,
chocolate or food, lotions or liquids,
medications or vitamins, breakable
items like snow globes or glass, or
aerosol cans.
Each box costs $7 to send, please send
in a dollar to cover this cost. All items
must be returned by November 7.
Our 6th grade class will be packing these
boxes. This program only runs until mid
-November to allow time for the boxes
to be processed and mailed to the
appropriate places.
We are also in need of standard sized
shoe boxes with lids or flip tops, if you
can help, please send that in as well.
Please feel free to contact me if you
have any questions, my phone number is
586-292-5403 or e-mail me at

PROSPER THE WORK
OF OUR HANDS Teach us to number our days aright,
that we may gain wisdom of heart.
Return, O Lord! How long? Have
pity on your servants! Fill us at
daybreak with your kindness, that we
may shout for joy and gladness all
our days. Make us glad, for the days
when you afflicted us, for the years
when we saw evil. Let your work be
seen by your servants and your glory
by their children; and may the
gracious care of the Lord our God be
ours; prosper the work of our hands
for us! Prosper the work of our
hands!

What is true wisdom? The Book of Wis-
dom, written in Greek about 100 BC,
conveys the spirituality of Judaism after
the exile and focuses on divine wisdom.
Today’s passage is part of a prayer for
wisdom. The author uses Solomon’s
voice to express the value of divinely
given wisdom, which is more valuable
than royal trappings, riches, health, and
beauty. Throughout the wisdom litera-
ture of the Old Testament, wisdom is
portrayed as knowing how to live rightly
in God’s eyes.
According to the Letter to the Hebrews,
the Word of God penetrates the human
heart, inviting discernment. It is the en-
counter with this Word that allows one
to live in wisdom.
In our gospel today, a man questions
Jesus about eternal life. Both the ques-
tion and the answer involve action, not
just belief. Initially, Jesus reminds him
of the commandments, and yet the man
wishes for more. So Jesus lovingly in-
vites him to give up everything, to count
God as his all, and then come follow
him. This is the ultimate path of wis-
dom, looking only to God for our way of
life. However, the man goes away sad,
still tied to his possessions. Jesus
acknowledges that he has suggested a
difficult, humanly impossible thing.
Nevertheless, God’s grace makes it pos-
sible and ultimately rewarding.
Peter reminds Jesus that the disciples
have already given up everything, proba-
bly referring to their boats, nets, and life
as they knew it. The answer affirms the
disciples’ choice and reinforces Jesus’
message to give up everything for the
sake of him and the Gospel. The last line
of this reading holds a surprise. Not only
will the disciples receive a hundredfold
of goods and relations, but also persecu-
tions. This word sharpens the radical
force of Jesus’ teaching-to hand over
everything to God, even our sense of
well-being, trusting in his ultimate plan.

“And the wisdom to know
the difference”
This is the last line of the Serenity Pray-
er, written by Reinhold Neibuhr in the
early 1930’s. This particular prayer has
been used by many different organiza-
tion, in the original form, or a variation,
but the words are so powerful, I guess I
have always called it the Reminder
Prayer. There are three requests to the
Lord in this prayer, to give us serenity,
courage and wisdom, all the important
ingredients to help us through each day
and to find contentment within our-
selves.
In the first line we are asking for sereni-
ty, finding a place where we can be
calm and peaceful, allowing yourself, if
only for a minute, to offer your day and
thoughts to God, and helping you in any
challenges that may come your way for
that day. “Peace is what I leave with
you; it is my own peace that I give you.
I do not give it as the world does. Do
not be worried and upset; do not be
afraid.” (John 14:27)
Courage, when I was younger I used to
think this was reserved for our “soldiers,
policemen, firemen” those wonderful
men and women who are prepared and
ready to come to our aid at every mo-
ment of the day. As I grew older I see
courage every moment of the day. I see
courage in the strength of a young cou-
ple working together when a disabled
child enters the world who will need
constant care for his/hers lifetime, cour-
age in families dealing with sudden un-
employment, mounting bills, but stay
together to work it out, courage in peo-
ple battling their own health issues,
sometimes even terminal, who continue
to put a smile on their face and greet
everyone they know with that smile, and
showing their courage and strength to us
all. Yes, courage is everywhere around
us, and we all have it, sometimes it has
to be nurtured, but it takes our own
courage to help another find their cour-
age. “Don’t be afraid, for I am with
you. Don’t be discouraged, for I am
your God. I will strengthen you and
help you. I will hold you up with my
victorious right hand.” (Isaiah 41:10)
Wisdom, to me this is the most confus-
ing. Proverbs 2, tells us, “For the Lord
gives wisdom; from his mouth comes
knowledge and understanding.”
Knowledge and understanding, I know I
have had many moments in my life
when I sure could have used some
knowledge on a certain subject, or could
have been more understanding, but per-
haps this is what we are to gain for our-
selves and others as we walk our spiritu-
al path.
The Author, John Piper, explains,
“Wisdom isn’t simply intelligence or
knowledge or even understanding. It is
the ability to use these to think and act
in such a way that common sense pre-
vails and choices are beneficial and pro-
ductive. Experience might be one of the
most valuable tools in acquiring wis-
dom. It is the ability to discern or judge
what is true, right, or lasting. An exam-
ple of this is knowledge and knowing
how to use a gun; wisdom is knowing
when to use it and when to keep it hol-
stered.” Pope Francis also gives us a
very good lesson in wisdom by explain-
ing “it is to see the world, to see situa-
tion, circumstances, problems, every-
thing through God’s eyes. Sometimes
we see things according to our liking or
according to the condition of our heart,
with love. Wisdom is what the Holy
Spirit works in us as to enable us to see
things with the eyes of God. We must
go beyond the outward appearance of
reality and scrutinize the depths of
God’s thoughts and His plan for salva-
tion.” “If any of you lacks wisdom, you
should ask God, who gives generously
to all without finding fault, and it will be
given to you.” (James 1:5)
“Happy is the man who finds wisdom
and the man who gets understand-
ing.” (Proverbs 3:13)
Peace and blessing,
Karyn
Many thank you’s….. To everyone who helped last week with
not only 2 back to back funerals, but the
Holiday Registration of our pantry cli-
ents. It was an exhausting week but be-
cause of everyone we were able to help
two grieving families and our pantry
clients. As I have said many times and
will not stop saying it, the Spirit of our
Lord truly shines brightly in our com-
munity. Thank you. Karyn

Prayer for Vocations Loving and generous God,
you called the prophets to
bring your word to your chosen people.
Your Son, Jesus, called the first disciples
to be bold proclaimers of the good news.
In the modern world, you continue to
call your sons and daughters to the
priesthood, diaconate, and consecrated
life.
Calm the chaos and soothe the sounds of
our world, and allow more to hear your
soft voice calling them to pick up their
cross and follow.
May the Holy Spirit fall upon your
church in a profound way, so that we
may experience a tremendous harvest of
grace.
May vocations increase ever abundantly
and may your church stand as a witness
to the world of the good news of your
Son, Jesus Christ.
Amen.

Learn to Listen
Learn to listen like a teddy bear, with ears
open and mouth closed tight.
Learn to forgive like a teddy bear, with an
open heart, not caring who is right.
Learn to love like a teddy bear, with arms
open and imperfect eyesight.
Do not ask for your life’s load lightened, but
for courage to endure.
Do not ask for fulfillment in all your life, do
not ask for perfection in all you do, but for
the wisdom not to repeat mistakes.
And finally, do not ask for more, before say-
ing, “Thank You.” for what you have already
received. If you’re looking for somebody to
blame-look in the mirror. There is no chal-
lenge that cannot be met, and dream that
cannot be achieved through Christ.
