FROM our PASTOR
ST. CHARLES BORROMEO PARISH FAMILY November 9, 2014
JESUS
I want to be your God and I want you to by my people. These are the words that God spoke to Moses and
the people as he made the Covenant with them. They are the same words which John, in a vision, heard God
speak at the end of time. In a word, God wants to be with us not because God needs us but because God
wants to us to rejoice in and give thanks for God’s love: God’s life-giving presence.
In the very beginning God created this beautiful, good and intelligible world. The author of Genesis tells us that God
“used to walk in the Garden with Adam and Eve.” Jesus, the fullness of God’s revelation, walked among the people of his
day bringing them healing, hope and new life. He showed us what God really wants.
Jesus says to each person, “Come Follow me!” What does it mean to follow Jesus? It is only when we meet another person
and catch something of that person’s enthusiasm and commitment that we can follow that person. Jesus’ Spirit is present
to encourage and guide us and all others in making the choice to follow him and mature as his disciple.
This happens when we begin to trust God as he did, when we believe in love as he did, when we come to suffering people
as he did, when we defend life as he did, when we look at people as he did, when we confront life and death with hope as
he did and when we pass on the Good News as he did.
The saints are examples of those who followed Jesus fully and faithfully. There are certain common elements which we
could well imitate.
 The saints were people of prayer. They prayed to Jesus. They laid their lives before the Risen Christ in
adoration. They asked for forgiveness of their sins. They gave their Savior praise and thanks for the Father’s
amazing grace. They laid before him their petitions.
 The Saints loved the Mass and the Eucharist for there they experienced the presence of Christ most deeply.
 The saints loved the Church and were passionate about carrying on the mission of the Church: proclaiming the
Good News of God’s love as Jesus did.
 The saints loved their neighbors especially those who were in most need. In very specific ways they started
hospitals, schools, orphanages and spoke out for the poor and marginalized no matter the cost.
In a word they embraced the Corporal and Spiritual works of Mercy. They did what Jesus described in Matthew 25:31-46.
Sometimes we just need to pray for the desire to become a saint, that is, one who walks with Jesus who best teaches us how
to love God and love our neighbor.

“Come Follow Me.” Jesus invites each one of us to become and mature as
his disciple both in name and in fact. Stewardship is a door to discipleship
and stewardship is a fruit of discipleship.
If you have filled out your Financial Stewardship Commitment Card to support
our parish, I thank you. If not, I invite you to do so and be faithful in your
weekly or monthly donation. Your Stewardship gift is one which should be
planned, proportionate and a gift from the heart. Doing this will change your
life.
Our combined financial support is vital in carrying out our mission of
supporting all in maturing as Disciples of the Risen Christ.
We have much to do in order to fulfill our mission of engaging the
uncommitted, energizing the committed, and empowering every parishioner
to share the Good News.
Sincerely,
Fr. Mike

Mr. Dan Hill, Principal
Dear St. Charles Borromeo Parishioners,
The month of November crept in, and our
school celebrated another First Friday
Mass together to bring in the new
month. November is a great month to be
working in a school, with our assembly for
Veterans on Nov. 12th, and Thanksgiving
on the 26th. The hallways are decorated
with Fall colors and we can feel the chill of
the coming winter each morning. The
kids always offer prayers of thanks during
November, and it is important that we
teach and instill in them that the credit for
our blessings goes to God. We always
seem to remember to pray when things are
going wrong, when we are sick, or when
the chips are down. Those are very
opportune times to pray, but praying when
things are going well is just as
important. At the school, we give thanks
to God every day, for our food, our warm
coats, our nice school, and the great
teachers that do so much for our
students. The virtue of the month of
November is "Love" and to feel God's love
is a wonderful virtue. The Saint we
celebrate in November will be Pope John
Paul II. I hope you celebrate the month of
November the same as we will, by giving
thanks, by loving our neighbors, and by
showing each other that we can, and
should, make a difference.
Like John Paul II.
Have a great weekend and week
ahead. We have Monday and Tuesday off
to honor our veterans, and will be back in
action on Wednesday. Please come to our
Veterans Day assembly on Wednesday at
2:00, and please keep our students, and
teachers, in your daily prayers.
Sincerely, Mr. Hill
