THIRTIETH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME FOR THE RIDE HOME First Reading: Ex 22: 20-26 Second Reading: 1 Thes 1:5c-10 Gospel: Mt 22: 34-40 When you heard the Pharisee's question to Jesus, did you know what the answer would be? If not, now would be a good time to learn the answer by heart. Which is the greatest commandment? Jesus quotes the law of love in two parts. First we must love God with our entire selves. Out of that love of God grows the love of others. We must love our neighbors with as much care and concern as we have for ourselves. Does it seem very easy to love? As we try to do it, we will find it can be very difficult. Why do you think most people say that this is the most important teaching of Jesus? Why is it called the "law of love"? How does this sum up the ten commandments and other teachings of Jesus? Join Us With Mary LOOKING FOR HELP—Children’s Christmas Pageant We are looking for someone to coordinate the Children’s Christmas Pageant this year. If you are available and would like to take on this wonderful event for the children of the parish please call the office at 737-4388. THANK YOU!

THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS BEREAVEMENT MINISTRY: Many times when an individual looses a loved one, they may find it helpful to participate in a Bereavement group. In order to extend this healing to those here at St. Elizabeth Ann Seton, Outreach is seeking an individual to facilitate a Bereavement Ministry. What is most needed is compassion and understanding for individuals who have lost a loved one. As well, a social work or psychology background in bereavement would be most beneficial. If anyone feels called to this ministry, please contact Mary Ann O'Connor at Parish Outreach, 737-4416. 7th ANNUAL SUPER DAILY BONANZA DRAWING October $25 winners Sunday 10/19 #00791 M.
