Anthony Stubeda Fr. Paul Schumacher Twenty-seventh Sunday in Ordinary Time Respect Life Sunday October 5, 2014 Church of the Holy Trinity 110 Winsted Avenue West, PO Box 9 Winsted, MN 55395 320 • 485 • 2182 www.winstedholytrinity.org Church of St. Pius X 1014 Knight Avenue North Glencoe, MN 55336 320 • 864 • 5162 www.stpiusxglencoe.org A Serious Moment and the Gift of Life It seems that this week the weather has taken a definite turn towards fall and winter and away from the halcyon days of summer. I who like being cold, have even risked opening my windows a few nights to let the cold, fresh autumn air into the house. The clouds in the sky are no longer the billowy summer white, but are flattening out into the slate of winter. The days are shorter and last week we saw the last after 7:00 p.m. sunset until March 8, 2015. We are entering into a serious time of year with a difficult and perhaps disappointing harvest before us. The Church, too, has turned away from the call to discipleship of Ordinary Time and to the consideration of the meaning of death, judgment and God’s plans for us to live with him forever. Today’s first reading and Gospel are parables about how the choices we make now will shape our eternity. In the beautiful lament of the vineyard owner for the ruin of his vineyard we hear God’s longing for us to accept his love, to be cared for in his mercy and to embraced by his life-giving power. The melancholy of this passage is a moving expression of God’s mourning over his rejected offer of salvation, care, mercy and life. In a simple and almost too obvious parable, Jesus leads us into a confrontation with our own hard-hearted rejection of God’s merciful desire to work by our side in transforming our lives and the life of the world. Today we observe Respect Life Sunday, and at the heart of our observance is the simple and undeniable truth that God’s desire for us is life. God shares his life with us and calls us to live day after day in grateful recognition of that gift. We are called to do all we can to create a society, culture and world that affirm the life God has given us. Our words, actions and choices can embrace or shun this gift, and we are called to embrace it with all its challenges and difficulties. We rejoice in its varied forms, its sorrows and joys, its challenges and triumphs, its hidden, messy and yet glorious reality. Life is an eternal gift, granted by a loving God to us. It is a confusing, maddening, cacophonous, tumultuous, mysterious and joyful mystery to be experienced with wonder and awe. At this rather serious moment of the year we may ask, how we can grasp and live this gift. St. Paul sums it up quite eloquently in the end of his letter to the Philippians, “Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is gracious, if there is any excellence and if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. Keep on doing what you have learned and received and heard and seen in me. Then the God of peace will be with you.” Fr.

ST. PIUS X MOTHERS' GROUP - SATURDAY, OCTOBER 11: The 10 Habits of Happy Catholic Mothers - Workshop Edition! As moms, we're called to a deeper purpose. However, many moms undervalue themselves, fall prey to competition and fail to take time with God. They aren't happy and live in fear of not being "good enough." Meg Meeker, Catholic writer and pediatrician provides ways to become a happier mom in her book The 10 Habits of Happy Mothers. Dr. Meeker wrote the book for all moms of all faiths. Looking at data collected from interviews with happy moms, those habits will be addressed with the Catholic mother in mind. Reading the book is not a prerequisite! After discussing each habit, participants will work on their Happiness Toolkit, a workbook designed to make those habits stick. We will pray a rosary at 9:00 a.m. in the church. Our meeting will begin at 9:30 a.m. in the lower level meeting room. All women of the Area Faith Community are welcome to attend! For more information, contact Sue Mielke at 320-395-2571.

The open lane from the entrance around the oval and past the school and church to the exit is an emergency lane, and we ask that you do not park in those areas.
