Prayer for Sustaining Hope for the Future
Almighty and Eternal God, in Christ your Son you have shown your love to the world. Through the
Gospel and Eucharist bring together your people in the Diocese of Wilmington. Guide the work of
our Diocese and help us to proclaim your name. Sustain us in Hope. Keep us faithful in our
mission. May we be a leaven in the world and a sign of hope to all.
We ask this through Christ Our Lord. Amen.
Christian stewardship takes a positive view on money. It sees money not only as a medium of exchange but as a symbol of the person
who has it. The way we acquire it, use it, and share it reveals who we are.

28th Sunday in Ordinary Time
World Mission Sunday
World Mission Sunday, organized by the Propagation of the Faith, is a day set aside for Catholics worldwide
to recommit themselves to the Church's missionary activity through prayer and sacrifice. In 2014, World
Mission Sunday is celebrated on October 19. Annually, World Mission Sunday is celebrated on the next-to-last
Sunday in October. As described by Pope John Paul II, World Mission Sunday is "an important day in the life of
the Church because it teaches how to give: as an offering made to God, in the Eucharistic celebration and for
all the missions of the world" (see Redemptoris Missio 81).
This Sunday's Gospel reading provides an opportunity to help them understand
that loyalty to God requires giving to God what is due to God. Payment of taxes
is unlikely to be a disputed issue in your family. Yet families can still learn
something from this Gospel reading. Jesus' answer to the Herodians and
Pharisees redirects their question to focus on the issue of greatest importance:
loving and honoring God. Taking this perspective can help us make good
judgments about the competing issues of importance in our lives. As your family
gathers, make a list of the activities that your family spends time doing together,
such as household tasks, jobs, academics, and recreational activities. Talk about
the importance of each of these activities. Ask what would happen if there were
an imbalance in our attention to these activities and we spent too much time on one activity at the expense of
another. In family life we do many important things, but we remember that God is of the greatest importance
in our lives. Pray together that your family will learn to keep things in proper perspective, remembering to keep
God first in your lives. Pray together today's psalm, Psalm 96.
OCTOBER DEVOTION - THE HOLY ROSARY
The Church has used three sets of mysteries for many centuries. In 2002 Pope John Paul II proposed a fourth set of
mysteries—the Mysteries of Light, or Luminous Mysteries. According to his suggestion, the four
sets of mysteries might be prayed on the following days: the Joyful Mysteries on Monday and
Saturday, the Sorrowful Mysteries on Tuesday and Friday, the Glorious Mysteries on Wednesday
and Sunday, and the Luminous Mysteries on Thursday. The meditations on the rosary that
accompany each mystery are the soul of the Rosary. They are what give the Rosary it's life,
purpose and power. The Rosary isn't simply reciting prayers from memory. It is so much more. It
is one of the most beneficial ways of praying. Contemplating these mysteries in the life of Jesus
and Mary will deepen your love and reverence for God and this relationship with God will sustain
you throughout your life. Rediscover the rosary.
In today's second reading, St. Paul reminds the Thessalonians that they have been chosen by God. All those
who have been washed in the water of baptism have been chosen by God as members of the Body of Christ.
From among these, God chooses and calls some to serve His people as priests. Is He calling you? What
steps are you taking to find out? Contact Father David Kelley, Diocesan Director of Priestly and Religious
Vocations (302-573-3113 or [email protected].)
Act of Contrition
O my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended you and I detest all my sins, because I
dread the loss of heaven and the pains of hell; but most of all because they offend you, my
God, who are all good and deserving of all my love. I firmly resolve with the help of your
grace, to confess my sins, to do penance, and to amend my life. Amen.

Our Lady of Fatima/Asbury Outreach Program Updated
The outreach program, hosted by Asbury Church, is working out well. The collaboration
between the two churches has helped in the community with our needy. They have greatly
expanded their food closet and are thankful of the partnership we have established. At the exits
of church are available sheets pertaining to the needs of the food closet and a volunteer sign up
sheet with specific information about helping out with this program. Please feel free to take a
flyer and let's see how we can make this program better than ever!!!
“Bring it Home”
It has almost always been there, but look at each denomination of coin and bill among your cash
for the phrase “In God we Trust.” If we are enduring “in hope of our Lord Jesus Christ,” then
Take the Readings and Bring it Home, by allowing “In God we Trust” to serve as an examination
of conscience for your upcoming cash purchases. Commit to sharing in a conversation about
this sometime this week at home.
Next weekend – after Mass – the Sister of St. Francis will be selling chances to benefit their
retirement fund. Please take a chance. The drawing is held in November.
The Boy Scouts are selling popcorn after the Masses this weekend. If anyone would like to join
the scouts, please contact John at 395-0829
Marriage Moments: Remember your wedding day. It was your day of public commitment for the rest of your
lives. Recount your respective feelings and memories of the day. If You feel adventurous or playful perhaps
you'd like to reenact the day. Renew your vows.
Parenting Pointers: “Don't rush to supply activities when your child whines, 'I don't have anything to do!' A
certain amount of boredom is a pee-requisite for creativity.” (Jim Vogt)
