Robert Fitzpatrick, a retired priest of the Archdiocese, who has been here al-ready several times, will assist on weekday, Sundays, with funerals, as needed. And I will be back before you hardly realize I’m actually gone!
Worship and Community Life
Respect Life Weekend—October 3 & 4
The Director of the Little Canada Women’s Life Care Center will be speaking at all the Masses this weekend, and will share information about the resource and services provided by WLCC. St Odilia has been a vital pro-vider of baby clothes, diapers and supplies for pregnancy help centers like Birthright and Women Life Care Cen-ters. Items are collated in the crib at the rear of church under our stained glass art, Choose Life.
Walking With Moms in Need Pregnant and parenting moms in need are in our parishes and our neighborhoods. As Pope Francis reminds us, our parishes need to be “islands of mercy in the midst of a sea of indifference.” Everyone in the parish community should know where to refer a pregnant woman in need. The 25th anniversary year of Evangelium vitae gives us a wonderful opportunity to assess, expand, and communicate resources to pregnant moms and families in need. The US Catholic Bishops have invited parishes to participate in a nationwide effort to support their local pregnancy help centers with a program entitled: “Walking with Moms in Need: A Year of Service.” More info visit: https://www.usccb.org/committees/pro-life-activities We can support this local pregnancy center with our contributions and participation at the Virtual Fundraiser, Thursday, October 29, at 7:00 p.m. Keynote speaker: Sister Deirdre Bryne. For more information visit: https://www.womenslifecarecenter.org/new-events

“…The wonder of prayer is revealed beside the well where we come seeking water: there, Christ comes to meet every human being…. God thirsts that we may thirst for him.” Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC) 2560
Importance of Silence. Gleaning from St. Ignatius in using the imagination when praying with scripture.
Using the ARRR approach during your prayer time: Acknowledge; Relate; Receive; Respond

Aging Boldly—October 13, 2020 On Tuesday, October 13th, the Pastoral Care Council will sponsor a presentation on the topic of “Aging Boldly”. Tim Overweg, Director of Donor Engagement for the Lyngblomsten Foundation, draws each of us into the story. Building on his own family insights, solid research on ag-ing, a wealth of professional experience and humor, Tim poignantly de-scribes this season of life. The Age Boldly presentation will open your eyes to the reality of aging, your mind to possibilities, and your heart to compassion, all with a sense of urgency about the importance of working together on behalf of all of us. The 45 minute address will be in the main church at 6:30 pm followed by a brief question and answer period. The presentation will also be live streamed on the Catholic Community of St. Odilia Youtube Channel. Tim is an engaging and thought provoking speaker with plenty of humor infused into his talk…a must see for all of us facing this new season in life.

En toda la narración de la Biblia, la “viña” es un símbo-lo de la historia de Israel. El profeta Isaías, nos lo muestra con su cántico de la viña. “Déjenme cantar, en nombre de mi amigo, la acción de mi amigo por su vi-ña. Una viña tenía mi amigo en una loma fértil. La cavó quitando las piedras y plantó cepas escogidas. En me-dio de ella construyó una torre y también cavó un la-gar. Él esperaba que produjera uvas, pero solo le dio racimos amargos”. (Isaías 5:1-2). El cántico refleja el dilema del bien y del mal, de la fe y de la infidelidad. Esto aparece reflejado en la primera lectura y en el Evangelio. Somos la viña de Dios, tanto el pueblo de Israel de aquel entonces, como la comunidad mundial de la actualidad. Dios siempre espera la conversión y la fidelidad del pueblo, por eso enviaba a los profetas para recordar-les sus infidelidades. El dueño es Dios y de mil y una formas se hace presente para que la humanidad vuel-va su vida hacia Él. ¿No es acaso lo que se nos ha pedi-do a razón del coronavirus? El Papa Francisco, insiste en que en medio de todo lo que vivimos sea el “vino nuevo la viña de la misericordia”. El Papa continúa. “La urgencia de responder con frutos de bien a la llamada del Señor, que nos llama a convertirnos en su viña, nos ayuda a comprender qué hay de nuevo y original en el cristianismo”. (Radio Vaticano). ¿Qué nos pide Dios en este momento de reacomodo en el mundo a causa del sufrimiento de la pandemia? ¿Qué estoy dispuesto a dar para aliviar el sufrimiento de otros? ©LPi

11 de octubre de 2020 28º Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario
El domingo pasado se hablaba de la viña, y ahora en es-tas lecturas encon-tramos imágenes fundamentales del banquete, tanto en la primera lectura como en el Evange-lio. Banquete, signo vivo de comunión, de diálogo y de intimidad de Dios con su pueblo. La cena de los justos, de los que practican la misericor-dia sin importar sus propios intereses. “Está prepara-do para todos los pueblos, en este cerro, una comida con jugosos asados y buenos vinos, un banquete de carne y vinos escogidos”. (Isaías 25:6). Isaías nos ayuda a comprender mejor lo que el Señor Jesús pro-nuncia en la parábola de la Liturgia de hoy.
El Evangelio nos habla de un rey que preparaba las bodas de su hijo. “He preparado un banquete, ya hice matar terneras y otros animales gordos y todo está a punto. Vengan, pues, a la fiesta de la boda”. Pero nos dice la narración que los invitados no hicieron caso a tan honrosa invitación. ¿De qué banquete habla la parábola? ¿De qué traje de fiesta habla el rey? Pues, no hay que pensarlo mucho. Para nosotros el ban-quete nuevo es la Eucaristía, el traje de fiesta es la gracia para poder participar de la fiesta. En cada Mi-sa, el sacerdote nos presenta a Jesús Eucaristía. Re-cordemos lo difícil que fue para nosotros los meses pasados, cuando no podíamos ir a la iglesia a partici-par de la Eucaristía y comulgar. ¿Lo recuerdas? Te-níamos que conformarnos con ver la Misa por los me-dios de comunicación y al final rezar la comunión es-piritual. Ahora, esperamos esté todo claro y nos de-mos cuenta que todos somos invitados al banquete de bodas del Cordero. ©LPi

EVERYDAY STEWARDSHIP - RECOGNIZE GOD IN YOUR ORDINARY MOMENTS
There Is Much to Be Done
Growing up Catholic means I must have heard a million times the passage in Matthew’s Gospel about how doing things
for the “least of these” means you have done them for Jesus. Okay, that is an exaggeration to make a point. But it has
been a slogan for so many social justice activities, from clothing and canned food drives, to letter writing campaigns and
peaceful protests.
Growing up I only knew how to help the least of these through the school and church activities of the time. Today,
YouTube and GodTube are filled with videos of creative ways people reach out to one another. Have you seen the one
about the pizza party for the homeless? How about the fake lottery ticket or the house bought from online donations for
a poor man? There are even videos of people paying for the car behind them at the drive-through! The awesome thing
about this is that it serves as a witness to others. It is not boasting but instead sharing the Good News. Giving and good
stewardship can be contagious!
Our pastor has several times over the years handed out $10 bills to confirmation candidates and asked them to “pay it
forward.” They can keep the money or use it to make a difference in someone else’s life. One teen planted a garden for
an elderly woman. One bought ingredients for brownies and sold them to give even more than $10 to charity. The teens
not only learned something about good stewardship in the process, but also served as great examples to the parish com-
munity.
As always, there is much to be done. The King is coming soon! Let’s spread the news and some love at the same time!
