OUR LADY OF THE PILLAR
A Parish Ministry of the Marianists
A Marianist Moment
October 12
Feast of Our Lady of the Pillar
Patronal Feast of the Society of Mary
This feast is celebrated in memory of the
graces received by Father Chaminade at
the Shrine of Our Lady of the Pillar during his exile in Spain (1797-1800). He
arrived in Saragossa on October 11,
1797, on the eve of the feast of Our Lady
of the Pillar. It was during this time that
Blessed Chaminade realized the only way
to restore Christianity to France was to
form small groups of
believers to carry on the Catholic faith.
Because of his experience there, he was
inspired to create the Marianist Family.
Shortly thereafter, with the help of Mother Adéle and Marie Thérèse, began the birth of the
Society of Mary and the Marianist Sisters.
May the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit be glorified in all
places through the Immaculate Virgin Mary. Amen.

SAINTS / FEASTS OF THE WEEK
Oct 14: St. Callistus I, Pope and Martyr ~ Not much is known
about Callistus. He was the target of criticism from St. Hippolytus, for doctrine and discipline, said to be too lenient. A
schirsm between them, lasting 18 years, resulted when Callistus
was appointed Pope.
Oct 15: St Teresa of Jesus, Virgin
and Martyr ~ 1515-1582, canonized
in 1622; The first woman to be declared a Doctor of the Church
(1970); a great mystic, strong, intelligent and active leader, with Peter
of Alcantara and John of the Cross, she founded the reformed
(Discalced) Carmelite orders of nuns and friars. Several of her
written works are considered classics and spiritual literature.
Oct 16: St Margaret Mary Alacoque, Virgin
~ 1647-1690; canonized in 1920; was ill
with rheumatic fever as a child and developed a devotion to the Blessed Sacrament;
entered the Visitation convent (1691) ; had
visions of Jesus (in 1673) for over a year.
Christ informed her that she was to spread
devotion to His Sacred Heart. It was hard to
convince her superiors of the visions. Not until 1683, with a
new mother superior, did her claims win consideration. A chapel to honor the Sacred Heart was built in 1688. The devotion to
the Sacred Heart was recognized and approved by Pope Clement XIII in 1765, seventy-five years after her death.
Oct 17: St. Ignatius of Antioch, Bishop and Martyr ~
A disciple of the beloved Apostle John
and consecrated Bishop by Peter around
69 AD. He was unjustly sentenced to
death for his refusal to reject the Christian
faith (martyred in 107). While he traveled,
he wrote letters to encourage, instruct and
inspire Christians in their faith, and the
first to use the term “catholic” to describe the whole church.
Those letters are preserved to this day and serve as clear teachings and a link to the teachings of Jesus and the Apostles.
Oct 18: St. Luke, Evangelist ~ Patron of physicians, writer of
the Gospel of Luke and Acts of the Apostles; believed to be
born a Greek (Antioch) and a Gentile. Though probably born a
slave, it was common to educate slaves in medicine so that
communities would have a resident physician. According to
scripture, he traveled with St. Paul and then remained with him
while he was imprisoned in Rome. Luke's gospel sheds light on
the poor and social justice and highlights the mercy and forgiveness of God. He includes stories not found in the other
gospels, including the story of Lazarus and the Rich Man, the
Annunciation, Mary's visit to Elizabeth and the Magnificat, the
Presentation of Jesus in the temple, and the story of Jesus' disappearance in Jerusalem, and the Prodigal Son as he is welcomed by his father.

STEWARDSHIP
Stewardship Reflection
October 12, 2014
“And my God will supply every need of yours…”
Philippians 4:19
God really does provide for those that are grateful and generous. This is very difficult for people that don’t live a stewardship lifestyle to believe. People are skeptical and say it’s just
coincidence. If you are skeptical, try living a stewardship lifestyle for just one month – be generous with your gifts of time,
talent and treasure and see how God provides for your needs.
