THIS WEEK’S LITURGICAL MESSAGE
This week’s parish activities:
Year A
The king said to him, "My friend, how is it that
you came in here without a wedding garment?"
But he was reduced to silence. Then the king said
to his attendants, "Bind his hands and feet, and
cast him into the darkness outside, where there
will be wailing and grinding of teeth." Many are
invited, but few are chosen (Mt 22:12-14).
Tuesday October 14

5:30pm—Evangelization Team Meeting—Classroom

6:30pm—RCIA at St. Ben’s
We too could make the Pharisees' mistake. We have the invitation to the wedding feast; in fact, we are already
in the banquet hall, since our baptism; but are we wearing the wedding garment of virtue and grace? If not, we
are no better off than those who rejected the invitation. The king may come in at any moment and cast out
those who are not properly dressed. Being a member of the Church on earth is a wonderful privilege, and a sure
guarantee that we will reach heaven, if we do what is expected of us. But the same obstacles which prevented
the Pharisees from entering the kingdom can impede us too, unless we are on our guard. The world with its
allurements is very close to us; heaven seems very far away.
This implies a daily carrying of the cross, a daily struggle against our evil inclinations, a daily endeavor to acquire true love of God and neighbor. This may sound superhuman, but Christ did not ask anyone to do the impossible. He led the way, and millions have followed him to eternal glory. He has called us too and has placed
within our easy reach in his Church all the grace we need. If we fail to use these divine helps, if we are found
without the wedding garment, we will have no one to blame but ourselves. We have been called with the many.
We can be among the "chosen."

10 things you should never do
when you’re angry
Terre Haute Life Chain
Thanks You!
#6) You Shouldn’t Post on Facebook
When you’re angry, broadcasting your feelings to
your friends and family on Facebook and other
social networks will more than likely come back
to haunt you, says Narang. “Posting something
publicly can’t be taken back,” he says.
Last Sunday was National Life
Chain Sunday. We were happy
to see so many members of St.
Margaret Mary for supporting
the cause of the unborn.
Thank you for defending LIFE!

CRAFT NEWS—
Do you have left over yarn you don't know what to do with? Join the crafters on Monday, October 13, from 1 to 3 in the craft
room to see all the cute Christmas ornaments you can make. Don't forget to bring the many crafts you made at home last
month as we had to cancel the meeting. We will have "show and tell" and learn some new ideas. Just bring yourself and any
scraps of yarn and have a good time. You will also need a scissors and your glue gun. We only have one more session before the
big Craft Fair in November.
CRAFT FAIR NEWS
Now that Fall has arrived, we begin to think of noodles for our holiday meals and nice “thank you” gifts
for our special friends. You will find all this, and more, at the Craft Fair on November 22nd and 23rd.
But, First, stop by our booth at the Ministry Fair on October 18th and 19th. On Saturday evening
after mass, enjoy a bowl of Chili and see how you can become involved with this multi-facetted fund
raiser. On Sunday, have some ethnic food and talk to us and see what you can do to help. Since the
altar Society will be disbanding in December, The Craft Fair will become a parish wide event. We
need everyone to participate—young and older.

A Stewardship Moment
There are certain bible verses Christian stewards have memorized. One of them is in Saint Paul’s letter to the Philippians found in
today’s second reading— “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me” (4:13). Most people define themselves either by
their problems or their possibilities. Fearful people wake up each morning ensnared by their problems. Christian stewards wake p
reflecting on their possibilities with confidence and hope. Some stewardship reflection questions for the week: What challenges do
you back away from because you doubt that you are up to them? What would you attempt tomorrow if you were sure God would
help you?

Going to Bridgeton for the Covered Bridge Festival? Park in the JPII parking lot. Oct. 10-19th.
Proceeds benefit John Paul II Catholic High School.
You will find them located between the Old Bridgeton School and the cemetery. The easiest way
to get there to enjoy the festival is by going north on Lafayette Ave., then east on Rosedale Rd,
then north on High Banks Rd, signs for JPII will be on the west side of the road. This route also
helps get you around the bigger traffic jams and pedestrian crossings, must less stressful drive.
Reflections from Deacon Mike Stratman
“Life, Love, Chocolate ”
An email I received a while back caught my eye and I would like to share it with you.
It was the morning of Jeff’s ninth wedding anniversary. Not having a lot of money, he went out to get his wife, Heidi, her
favorite dessert, chocolate filled croissant. After arriving home to surprise his wife, only to find her in the kitchen pulling out of the
oven, a chocolate filled croissant. Jeff said that his life with Heidi compares to the people in O. Henry’s short story, “Gift of the Magi.”
It tells of a man who sold his lone possession of value, a pocket watch, to buy hair combs for his wife, who sold her long hair,
beautiful hair to buy a gold chain for his watch.
Having no money concerns would be great, but realizing the value of the people we care about is
more important. We sometimes need a reminder that acquiring “things” is not nearly as important as
appreciating the people God puts in our lives. When we practice putting other’s interests before our own,
we learn what it means to love, serve and sacrifice. In fact, that is how we find Christ in our relationships.
Life, love and chocolate taste better when shared with others. Never be afraid of giving too much!
Together through prayer and service,
Deacon Mike
