Page 2 A Word From...
Sign at Shishu Bhavan (Children’s Home), founded by Mother Teresa
People are unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered.
LOVE THEM ANYWAY
If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish ulterior motives,
DO GOOD ANYWAY
If you are successful, you win false friends and true enemies,
SUCCEED ANYWAY
The good you do will be forgotten tomorrow,
DO GOOD ANYWAY
Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable,
BE HONEST AND FRANK ANYWAY
What you spent years building may be destroyed overnight,
BUILD ANYWAY
People really need help but may attack you if you help them,
HELP PEOPLE ANYWAY
Give the world the best you have and you’ll get kicked in the teeth,
GIVE THE WORLD THE BEST YOU’VE GOT ANYWAY

Reflections
Oct 29, 2017
Love them anyway: Mother Teresa counsels that the chal-lenges offered by this sign can be met only if human beings
are motivated by a love and a respect for one another which looks beyond faults, differences, ulterior motives, success and failure. Mother Teresa once said of herself, “By blood and origin, I am all Albanian. My citizenship is Indian. I am a Catholic nun. As to my calling, I belong to the whole world. As to my heart, I belong entirely to the heart of Jesus.” (A Simple Path, Ballantine Books, New York: 1995). It is this relationship of belong-ing and the loving service which grows out of that belonging which the Scriptural authors called Covenant. (Patricia Datchuck Sánchez)
The central theme of today’s readings is the greatest Commandment in the Bible, namely to love God and express it in action by loving Him in our neighbor. The first reading, taken from Exodus, explains the different ex-pressions of the love of one’s neighbor, especially of the underprivi-leged. In the second reading, St. Paul praises the Thessalonian Christians for the heroic witness they bear to Christ by practicing mutual love. In the Gospel today, Jesus combines the commandment to love God with the commandment to love one’s neighbor and gives the result as one Com-mandment of supreme importance in Christian life.
A Pharisee, who believed in both the written Law and the oral tradition, was pleased to see how Jesus defeated the Sadducee who had tried to humili-ate Him with the hypothetical case of a woman who married seven hus-bands. Out of admiration, he asked Jesus to summarize the most im-portant of the Mosaic Laws in one sentence. This was a challenge be-cause, in Jesus’ day, there was a double tendency to expand the Mosaic Law into hundreds of rules and regulations and to condense the 613 pre-cepts of the Torah into a single sentence or few sentences. Jesus’ answer teaches us that the most important commandment is to love God in loving others and to love others in loving God. In other words, we are to love God and express it by loving our neighbor because God lives in him or her.
Jesus gave the Pharisee a straightforward answer, quoting directly from the Law itself and startling his listeners with his profound simplicity and mastery of the Law of God and its purpose. He cited the first sentence of the Jew-ish Shema prayer: … “Therefore, you shall love the Lord, your God, with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength" (Deuteronomy 6:5). Then He added its complementary law: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself" (Leviticus 19:18). Finally, He declared that the “whole Law and the prophets” depended on the commands to love God “with all your heart, with all your soul and all your mind” and to love “your neighbor as your-self.” Jesus actually combined the originally separate commandments and presented them as the essence of true religion. “The summary of the law is not original with Jesus. Its two parts represent a combination of Dt 6: 5 and Lev 19: 18. Nor is the combination itself original to Jesus, for it is found in at least one earlier Jewish work, the Testaments of the Twelve Patriarchs” (Fr. R. H. Fuller). The uniqueness of Jesus’ response consisted in the fact that he understood the two laws as having equal value or importance. We are to love our neighbor and our self as a way to love God: God gives us our neighbors to love so that we may learn to love Him. Thus, Jesus proclaims that true religion loves God both directly and as living in our neighbor. Bibli-cal love of God is responsive gratitude for, and remembrance of, what God has done for us, rather than an independent project we undertake for God.
Love of God means putting Him first, respecting His Name, and keeping His Day [the Sabbath; Sunday for us] holy. To love God means a dedica-tion of the entire person to His will, placing Him first in one’s mind and the heart, speaking respectfully about Him, and keeping His Day as one of prayer and true recreation, a day to keep His Law. Love of God transforms lives every waking moment of every day.
Love of neighbor means respect for others, their relationships, their reputa-tions, and their property. Deuteronomy 6:5 and Leviticus 19:18 indicate love in action. Loving our neighbor as ourselves means looking at and treating others with the respect God gives them. This love begins at home with one's parents. It then extends to others. Love of neighbor extends beyond our family and friends to strangers, especially to the poor, the sick, and the sinner. Love of neighbor knows no national borders or class dis-tinctions or barriers of any kind, because God knows no such impediments.
Jesus underlines the principle that we are to love our neighbor as we love ourselves because both of us bear God’s image, and to honor God’s image is to honor Him. Love for our neighbor is a matter, not of feelings, but of deeds by which we share with others the unmerited love that God lavishes on us. This is the love for neighbor that God commands in His law. Since the Jews considered only their fellow-Jews as neighbors, Jesus used the parable of the Good Samaritan, as reported in Luke’s Gospel, to show them what God means by “neighbor.”
Life messages: 1) We need to love God: Loving God with all our heart, soul, mind and strength means that we should place God’s will ahead of ours, seek the Lord's will in all things and make it paramount in our lives. There are several means by which we can express our love for God and our gratitude to Him for His blessings, acknowledging our total depend-ence on Him. We must keep God's commandments, and offer daily pray-ers of thanksgiving, praise and petition. We also need to read and meditate on His word in the Bible, and accept His invitation to join Him in the Mass and other liturgical functions when we can.
2) We need to love our neighbor: God’s will is that we should love every-one, seeing Him in our neighbor. Since every human being is the child of God and the dwelling place of the Spirit of God, we are actually giving ex-pression to our love of God by loving our neighbor as Jesus loves him or her. This means we need to help, support, encourage, forgive, and pray for everyone without discrimination based on color, race, gender, age, wealth or social status. Forgiveness, too, is vital. We love others by refusing to hold a grudge for a wrong done to us. Even a rebuke can be an act of love, if it is done with the right heart. We also express love through encourage-ment and by helping each other to grow. We express agápe love by meet-ing a need that God has given us the power to meet, by comforting each other, by teaching each other and by sharing the Gospel, in deeds and in words. +

“Pray without ceasing-”...I Thessalonians 5:17
Each Sunday, a family, couple, or individual is called for-
ward at Mass to receive the vocation cross and a special
prayer written to accompany it. In taking the cross, they
commit themselves to pray during the week for an increase
in holy vocations, and the gift of our priests, sisters, broth-
ers, and deacons. All are invited to participate.
Please pray for all the Sacramento Diocese Priests.
To see who has signed up and to those who have not signed up yet; please stop
by and check out our SIGN - UP CORNER at the Narthex counter top.
Is God inviting you to
Pray for the Vocations?
Our heavenly Father knows our many needs. In faith, we come before Him
and humbly ask that he grant our prayers.
For the Church, that she may continue to guide the people of God in truth
and holiness.
For the priests serving in the Diocese of Sacramento, that God may make
them love what he commands so they may merit what he promises.
For all those called to the priesthood or consecrated life in the Diocese of
Sacramento, that they may love God with all their heart and follow his will
for them in their lives.
For the youth of the world, as they search for the living God, that they may
grow in faith and be living witnesses to the power of the risen Christ.
That God, who hears the cry of all who are injured and vulnerable, may
open our ears to that same cry and enable us to build a Culture of Life.
For the poor and oppressed, for the sick and those who care for them, and
for all our friends and loved ones who need our prayers.
For all who have died, that they share the banquet of eternal life.

Liturgy
Of The Eucharist
The Liturgy of the Eucharist begins with the preparation of the gifts and the altar. As the ministers prepare the altar, representatives of the people bring forward the bread and wine that will become the Body and Blood of Christ. The celebrant blesses and praises God for these gifts and places them on the altar, the place of the Eucha-ristic sacrifice. In addition to the bread and wine, monetary gifts for the support of the Church and the care of the poor may be brought forward. The Prayer over the Offerings concludes this preparation and disposes all for the Eucharistic Prayer.
Eucharistic Prayer
The Eucharistic Prayer is the heart of the Liturgy of the Eucharist. In this prayer, the celebrant acts in the person of Christ as head of his body, the Church. He gathers not only the bread and the wine, but the substance of our lives and joins them to Christ's perfect sacrifice, offering them to the Father.
The introductory dialogue, establishes that this prayer is the prayer of the baptized and ordained, is offered in the presence of God, and has thanksgiving as its central focus. Following this dialogue, the celebrant begins the Preface.
The Eucharistic Prayers make clear that these prayers are offered, not to Christ, but to the Father. It is worship offered to the Father by Christ as it was at the moment of his passion, death and resurrec-tion, but now it is offered through the priest acting in the person of Christ, and it is offered as well by all of the baptized, who are part of Christ's Body, the Church. This is the action of Christ's Body, the Church at Mass.
The priest offers the Eucharistic Prayer in the first person plural, for example, "Therefore, O Lord, we humbly implore you…" This "we" signifies that all the baptized present at the Eucharistic celebration make the sacrificial offering in union with Christ, and pray the Eu-charistic Prayer in union with him. And what is most important, we do not offer Christ alone; we are called to offer ourselves, our lives, our individual efforts to grow more like Christ and our efforts as a community of believers to spread God's Word and to serve God's people, to the Father in union with Christ through the hands of the priest. Most wonderful of all, although our offering is in itself imper-fect, joined with the offering of Christ it becomes perfect praise and thanksgiving to the Father.
Next week: Summary of the Eucharistic Prayer
Jesus, You suffered and died for us. You understand suffering. Teach me to understand my suffering as You do; to bear it in union with You; to offer it with You to atone for my sins and to bring your grace to souls in need. Calm my fears; increase my trust. May I gladly accept your holy will and become more like You in trial. If it be your will, restore me to health so that I may work for your honor and glory and the salvation of all. Amen

ADULT FAITH FORMATION: Paul’s letter to the Galatians speaks directly to the heart of Christians and addresses the most important question we can ask: “What must we do to be saved?” It speaks of the extraordinary gift of salvation that Jesus has won for us, and how we can unite ourselves to Christ’s redeeming sacrifice.
Come join us on Monday nights for eight weeks and let Jeff Cavin’s “Galatians: Set Free to Live” help you learn how to have the filial relation-ship with God the Father where He honors us as His children, and how we must honor Him as our loving Father.
Beginning October 23rd, Divine Mercy classes will be every Monday night at 7:30pm -9:30pm in the Narthex with the last class being on 11 Decem-ber. Cost for materials is $24.00. For more information or to register for the study, contact Richard Hack at ([email protected]).
