The Bells of St. Mary’s Cathedral Weekly Bulletin 29th Sunday in Ordinary Time Sunday, October 19, 2014 The image is symbolic of our CIRCLE OF LOVE program. By definition, a circle is a curved line with every point equal distance from the point of the center and bound together by the common interest. The seven point program of the CIRCLE OF LOVE is bound together by the common interest- LOVE. The small heart in the center is taken from the logo of the HEART SPEAKS TO HEART program. By utilizing this portion of the logo and part of the Heart Speaks to Heart program that is compatible with the Circle of Love, a smooth transition occurs. The Cross and Crown in the center of the heart is the national symbol of the Order- the Catholic Daughters of the Americas. The seven points selected indicate the needs of the Church and community best served by the Catholic Daughters. The program itemizes these needs in how Catholic Daughters can effectively serve.

Ramblings/Ministry Schedule Page 3 The ramblings may have jumped the shark (lost its former glory), as they say. It’s a rule of thumb in writing that when your boss, in this case His Excellency, starts sending you material to spice up your column, it’s time to throw in the towel, ok maybe not yet. The Bishop sent me some signs that have been seen recently; for instance, “TOILET OUT OF ORDER, PLEASE USE FLOOR BELOW.” How about this one: “NEW STUDY OF OBESITY LOOKS FOR LARGER TEST GROUP.” There is the newspaper headline: “KIDS MAKE NUTRITIOUS SNACKS.” Another: “COLD WAVE LINKED TO TEMPERATURES.” My personal favorite: “WAR DIMS HOPE FOR PEACE.” I have often wondered if people ever read what they write; at least some of it can make us smile. This past week at the Veteran’s Administration hospital, while visiting some patients, I observed the little store of items they sell to veterans and military members. It really is small with normal items but there are also some higher dollar goods as laptops and global positioning systems (GPSs). The most surprising of which is a shelf dedicated to colognes and perfumes; none of which cost under $40. Most of the fragrances run between 60 and 80 smackaroos. Since when is the VA engaged in selling top dollar smell water? None of the clients of this hospital looked like they came there to shop in the first place, let alone for those items. You know there has to be “a certain highly placed VA official” in Washington D.C. in charge of perfume and cologne purchases for VA hospitals. Whoever he or she is, they’re doing a bang up job of keeping the Grand Island facility stocked with high brow essences. Person who has never worked for the government: “Father, you made that up!” Person who has worked for the government: “There’s a VA government office with twenty people that work in either the perfume or cologne divisions.” Cynicism? You be the judge. So what do we do about the government? Jesus’ response is still valid; give to Caesar what is Caesar’s, but to God what is God’s. This simple statement should cause more concern for us than any government in the world; why? We are God’s people; we need to give each of ourselves totally to God. That is a higher and more difficult task than paying taxes.

Military Names Director of Religious Education As in today's Gospel reading we are reminded to "Then repay to Caesar what belongs to Caesar and to God what belongs to God." This means pray all the time because all things are given from God and God is in all things! Last week all the classes learned and prayed the Rosary they also learned/reviewed their prayers. Prayers sheets were also sent home. It is important to continue to work with our children/ grandchildren at home not only saying their prayers but teaching them to pray their prayers. We learn that the basic forms of prayer are praise, petition, intercession, and thanksgiving. We need to remind our children that not only do we seek Jesus in a time of need and sorrow but we also include him in our times of joy and happiness. These prayers can be incorporated into meal times, bed time and times through out the day when we give thanks to the glory of God and his goodness!

News/Spiritual Today Readings First Reading — The LORD said to Cyrus, his anointed, “I am the LORD, there is no other” (Isaiah 45:1, 4-6). Second Reading — Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy to the church of the Thessalonians: We thank God always for all of you (1 Thessalonians 1:1-5b). Gospel — Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s (Matthew 22:15-21). Thoughts: EVERYTHING BELONGS TO GOD The first reading from the prophet Isaiah concerns the Persian King Cyrus, called the Lord’s “anointed.” Cyrus deserves this title because he ended the Babylonian captivity of the Jews. However, Isaiah reminds us that it was God who gave Cyrus his power. He may be a great king, but “I am the LORD and there is no other,” says God (Isaiah 45:5). Today’s Gospel is also concerned with worldly power. In the passage from Matthew, the Pharisees try to trick Jesus into speaking against the emperor. His famous answer is the perfect reply. Like the kings of old, Caesar can be given the respect due his position, but everything belongs to God. In the second reading, Paul gives thanks for all who are faithful to Jesus Christ and his gospel. He, too, reminds us that our call and the power to be faithful come from God.

World Mission Day: That World Mission Day may rekindle in every believer zeal for carrying the Gospel into all the world. TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION When the fathers of the Second Vatican Council met to discuss the sacrament of penance, they were required to draw up a new rite, including several forms. The hot button for debate was so-called “general absolution,” by which a penitent could be absolved of sin without confessing to a priest. This was a difficult debate, compounded by widely varying traditions in both East and West. Some were surprised to learn that the Holy See had already given permission, during the First and Second World Wars, for this form. In 1944 the Vatican issued a decree saying this form was valid under extreme conditions, which bishops in mission lands and Latin America took as a kind of “blanket permission.” Thus, the fathers of the Council were alarmed to find this practice fairly widespread, not only in war, but in peaceful places with huge numbers of faithful and few priests. Although they eventually produced a ritual with three different forms, the forms are not considered equal, and the enriched and revised individual form is preferred. The enrichments include a welcome of the penitent, a sign of the cross with an encouragement to trust in God’s compassion, new texts rich in the Word of God, praise for God’s mercy, and a dismissal. —Rev.

Reflexiones de Vida “El infinito amor de Dios para cada uno de nosotros nos ayuda a comprender nuestra identidad y nuestro valor. Reconocer esta dignidad nos lleva a respetar y proteger la vida de cada persona…”. “Cuando Dios creó a cada uno de nosotros, lo hizo con precisión y con un propósito, y mira a cada uno de nosotros con un amor que no se puede superar en intensidad ni ternura”. USCCB Secretariat of Pro-Life Activities. Del escritorio de la oficina de Educación Religiosa Al igual que en la lectura del Evangelio de hoy nos recuerda que " Luego devolver al César lo que es del César y a Dios lo que es de Dios . " Esto significa orar todo el tiempo porque todas las cosas se dan de Dios y Dios está en todas las cosas ! La semana pasada todas las clases aprendieron y rezaron el Rosario también aprendieron y repasaron sus oraciones. Hojas con las oraciones también fueron enviados a casa . Es importante seguir trabajando con nuestros hijos / nietos en el hogar no sólo diciendo sus oraciones, sino enseñándoles a rezar sus oraciones . Nos enteramos de que las formas básicas de la oración son la alabanza, petición, intercesión , y acción de gracias. Necesitamos recordar a nuestros hijos que no solo buscamos a Jesús en momentos de necesidad y de dolor pero también lo incluimos en nuestros momentos de alegría y felicidad. Estas oraciones se pueden incorporar en las horas de comida, la hora de dormir y los tiempos durante el día cuando le damos gracias a la gloria de Dios y su bondad !

Anuncios en Español FORO ASUNTOS DE VIDA Page 10 octubre de 2014 Eres una obra de arte Anne McGuire En este país los obispos de EE. UU. destinaron octubre como el Mes Respetemos la Vida, lanzando el Programa Respetemos la Vida, que se celebra con misas especiales, liturgias, horas santas y otras iniciativas y Los obispos llaman a los católicos y a todas las personas de buena voluntad de la nación a reflexionar sobre la santidad de la vida humana y a trabajar por su protección. El lema de esta año es: "Cada uno de nosotros es una obra maestra de la creación de Dios", adaptado del Mensaje del Papa Francisco para la Jornada por la Vida 2013. El volante del Programa Respetemos la Vida de este año explora la idea de que cada uno de nosotros es una valiosa obra de arte hecha por las manos de Dios. Imagínate deteniéndote ante un diseño de gran belleza. Tu alma se aquieta, se maravilla y asombra. Si el arte, creado por el ser humano, puede evocar tal respuesta en nuestro interior, ¿cuánto más debemos maravillarnos, llenarnos de reverencia y respeto ante cada persona que encontramos, hecha por el mismo Dios que dio existencia al mundo? Ahora piensa en un artista que se aleja de una gran obra de arte y admira su creación. Cuando Dios creó a cada uno de nosotros, lo hizo con precisión y con un propósito, y mira a cada uno de nosotros con un amor que no se puede superar en intensidad ni ternura. Además, el Señor nos invita a contemplarnos a nosotros mismos y a contemplarnos mutuamente con la misma maravilla y asombro. No importa cómo el mundo nos considere o considere a los demás, tratemos a cada persona como la obra maestra que es. "Incluso los más débiles y vulnerables, los enfermos, los ancianos, los no nacidos y los pobres, son obras maestras de la creación de Dios, hechos a su imagen, destinados a vivir para siempre, y merecedores de la máxima reverencia y respeto” (Mensaje para La Jornada por la Vida 2013). Dios nos crea, a sus obras maestras, con increíble cuidado y atención. Nos conoce y nos ama profunda e íntimamente, y mira a cada uno de nosotros con ternura, con los brazos abiertos para sostenernos, no solo en momentos de celebración sino en épocas de sufrimiento. Los artículos del Programa Respetemos la Vida de 2014 y 2015 exploran el tema del amor ilimitado de Dios por nosotros y el valor de cada vida humana. En “Relato de una adopción de amor”, Jenny* escribe sobre el camino que ella y su esposo atravesaron en su lucha contra la infertilidad y la adopción de su hijo, Andrew*. Los desafíos, las preocupaciones y los miedos fueron reales, pero Jenny comparte: “Dios nos recordó [...] que Él siempre está en control y que podíamos confiar en Él”. “La sanación en el matrimonio después de un aborto”, nos recuerda que la gracia transformadora de Dios tiene el poder de sanar las relaciones rotas por el pecado. Y en “Consuelo y fortaleza ante la pena de un aborto espontáneo”, aprendemos algunas maneras prácticas en que nosotros mismos podemos ser las manos y pies de Cristo para quienes sufren esta trágica pérdida Estos y otros artículos, así como materiales como volantes, recursos litúrgicos y mini-pósters están disponibles para ser bajar de Internet o hacer pedidos impresos ya en www.usccb.org/respectlife. Dios creó cuidadosamente a cada uno de nosotros con dones, talentos y habilidades específicas para amar a los demás. Algunos ejemplos de cómo el Papa Francisco lo ha hecho se ilustran en un video de un minuto en www.usccb.org/respectlife (Al posarse sobre la imagen en la parte superior de la página digital, se verá el botón “Play” para iniciar la reproducción ¿Cómo podemos seguir el ejemplo del Papa Francisco y dar a los demás el amor de Jesús en nuestra vida cotidiana? *Los nombres fueron cambiados para proteger la privacidad.
