Wednesday, Nov 19 @ 7:30 PM
Session 1:
Why are we able to believe God?
Why do we seek God?
What does God show about himself when he sends his Son to us?
How can we tell what belongs to the true faith?
How can sacred scripture be “truth” if not everything in it is right?
Faith -- what is it?
What does my faith have to do with the Church?
Why do we believe in only one God?
What does it mean to say that God is love?
Wednesday, Dec 10 @ 7:30 PM
Session 2
Can someone accept the theory of evolution and still believe in the
Creator?
If God is all-knowing and all-powerful, why does he not prevent evil?
What is heaven? What is hell?
From where does man get his soul?
What is sin?
What does it mean to say that Jesus is “the only-begotten Son of
God”?
Isn’t it improper to call Mary the “Mother” of God?
To Whom does Jesus promise “the kingdom of God”?
Did God will the death of his only Son?
Why are we too supposed to accept suffering in our lives and thus
“take up our cross” and thereby follow Jesus?
What changed in the world as a result of the resurrection?
What will it be like when Christ judges us and the whole world?

GI Insurance
Jones was assigned to the induction centre where he was
to advise new recruits about their government benefits,
especially their GI insurance.
After a couple of months his captain noticed that Jones had
almost a 100 percent record for insurance sales - something
that had never been achieved before.
Rather than ask him the secret of his success, the captain
decided to stand at the back of the room and listen to Jone's
sales pitch.
First, Jones explained the basics of the GI insurance to the
new recruits, and then said:
"If you have GI insurance and go into battle and are killed,
the government has to pay $200,000 to your beneficiaries. If
you don't have GI insurance, and you go into battle and get
killed, the government has to pay only a maximum of $6,000.
"Now," he concluded,"which bunch do you think they are
going to send into battle first?"

SAINTS of the WEEK
Optional Memorial: St Martin de Porres, religious—Monday,
November 3: "Father unknown" is the cold legal phrase
sometimes used on baptismal records. "Half-breed" or "war
souvenir" is the cruel name inflicted by those of "pure" blood.
Like many others, Martin might have grown to be a bitter
man, but he did not. It was said that even as a child he gave
his heart and his goods to the poor and despised.
He was the son of a freed woman of Panama, probably black
but also possibly of Native American stock, and a Spanish
grandee of Lima, Peru. His parents never married each other.
Martin inherited the features and dark complexion of his
mother. That irked his father, who finally acknowledged his
son after eight years. After the birth of a sister, the father
abandoned the family. Martin was reared in poverty, locked
into a low level of Lima’s society.
When he was 12, his mother apprenticed him to a barbersurgeon. He learned how to cut hair and also how to draw
blood (a standard medical treatment then), care for wounds
and prepare and administer medicines.
After a few years in this medical apostolate, Martin applied to
the Dominicans to be a "lay helper," not feeling himself
worthy to be a religious brother. After nine years, the example
of his prayer and penance, charity and humility led the
community to request him to make full religious profession.
Many of his nights were spent in prayer and penitential
practices; his days were filled with nursing the sick and caring
for the poor. It was particularly impressive that he treated all
people regardless of their colour, race or status. He was
instrumental in founding an orphanage, took care of slaves
brought from Africa and managed the daily alms of the priory
with practicality as well as generosity. He became the
procurator for both priory and city, whether it was a matter of
"blankets, shirts, candles, candy, miracles or prayers!" When
his priory was in debt, he said, "I am only a poor mulatto. Sell
me. I am the property of the order. Sell me.”
Side by side with his daily work in the kitchen, laundry and
infirmary, Martin’s life reflected God’s extraordinary gifts:
ecstasies that lifted him into the air, light filling the room
where he prayed, bilocation, miraculous knowledge,
instantaneous cures and a remarkable rapport with animals.
His charity extended to beasts of the field and even to the
vermin of the kitchen. He would excuse the raids of mice and
rats on the grounds that they were underfed; he kept stray
cats and dogs at his sister’s house.
He became a formidable fundraiser, obtaining thousands of
dollars for dowries for poor girls so that they could marry or
enter a convent.
Many of his fellow religious took him as their spiritual
director, but he continued to call himself a "poor slave." He
was a good friend of another Dominican saint of Peru, Rose
of Lima (August 23).
Comment:
Racism is a sin almost nobody confesses. Like pollution, it is a
"sin of the world" that is everybody's responsibility but
apparently nobody's fault. One could hardly imagine a more
fitting patron of Christian forgiveness (on the part of those
discriminated against) and Christian justice (on the part of
reformed racists) than Martin de Porres.
Quote:
At Martin's canonization in 1962, Saint John XXIII
remarked: "He
excused the faults of
others. He forgave
the bitterest injuries,
convinced that he
deserved much
severer punishments
on account of his own
sins. He tried with all
his might to redeem
the guilty; lovingly he
comforted the sick; he
provided food,
clothing and medicine
for the poor; he
helped, as best he
could, farm laborers and Negroes, as well as mulattoes, who
were looked upon at that time as akin to slaves: thus he
deserved to be called by the name the people gave him:
'Martin of Charity.'"

BAPTISMAL NAMES
Question: What is the significance of receiving a name in Baptism?
Answer: Through the name that we receive in Baptism God
tells us: “I have called you by name, you are mine” (Is 43:1).
Question: Why should Christians choose the names of saints at
Baptism?
Answer: There are no better examples than the saints and no
better helpers. If my namesake is a saint, I have a friend with
God.

“Unless A Grain Of Wheat Falls Into The Earth
And Dies, It Remains Just A Grain Of Wheat; But
If It Dies, It Bears Much Fruit.”
The Paradox Of The Grain Of Wheat
Unless a grain of wheat falls to the ground and dies. We
hate failures. We dislike falling or talking about death.
We want success stories. We wish to celebrate life
always.
While that is true and admirable, sometimes tragedies
bring out the best in us. We learn more from
misfortunes and sufferings than from our successes and
celebrations. Success brings out great feelings. Failure
and death bear forth greater lessons and better life and
fruits in the end. Natural calamities that inflict death
and suffering to people often invite the best human
response and care from those who have the capacity to
help.
It is said God whispers in our triumphs but shouts in
our trials. The cross brought out the beast possible in
man but brought out the best in God.
In your personal list of birthdays and
anniversaries include dates of transitions and
major, difficult changes in your life story.
Jesus
Death leads to life.
When we "die" to ourselves, we "rise" to new life in
Jesus Christ. What does it mean to "die" to oneself? It
certainly means that what is contrary to God's will must
be "crucified" or "put to death". God gives us grace to
say "yes" to his will and to reject whatever is contrary to
his loving plan for our lives. Jesus also promises that we
will bear much "fruit" for him, if we choose to deny
ourselves for his sake. Jesus used forceful language to
describe the kind of self-denial he had in mind for his
disciples. What did he mean when he said that one must
hate himself? The expression to hate something often
meant to prefer less. Jesus says that nothing should get
in the way of our preferring him and the will of our
Father in heaven. Our hope is in Paul's reminder that
"What is sown in the earth is subject to decay, what
rises is incorruptible" (1Cor.15:42). Do you hope in the
Lord and follow joyfully the path he has chosen for
you?
"Lord, let me be wheat sown in the earth, to be harvested for
you. I want to follow wherever you lead me. Give me fresh hope
and joy in serving you all the days of my life."

Because God Is Real: P.J.Kreeft
Why Is Sex So Confusing?
7. Does that mean that all birth-control is wrong?
No. Spacing and planning births is not unnatural
and wrong. Natural family planning (NFP) does
this by respecting the essential nature of sex and of
the male and female human bodies and a woman’s
natural fertility cycle.
8. You say sex is for babies. But it is also for pleasure.
Sexual pleasure is as natural to sex as babies are. To
suppress its natural pleasure is as unnatural as
suppressing its natural fertility.
This true! Sex also obviously gives great pleasure.
And that is no more an accident than babies are.
That is part of God’s design. When He invented
sex, He put great joy into it from the beginning,
because He thought so highly of it. He could have
invented other ways for us to come into the world
instead of sex, or He could put less joy into this
way that He invented for us, but He didn’t. (That is
why the Church respects it so much: because God
does.)
He put such great joy into it because He put two
other great things into it: intimate, total self-giving
love, and the
procreation of
new persons,
who will live
There is only one

with things of
great value, like
art masterpieces
(but not casual
sketches), or
pets (but not
animals out in the wild, or persons (but not mere
things.).
8. Why do the rules of sexual morality have to be so
complex?
They are not complex at all. They are
embarrassingly simple, uncomfortably simple. The
moral law is not complex and difficult to think
about; it is difficult to live. Ignorance is not the
biggest enemy of morality; selfishness is. Most
moral problems are solved not by cleverness but by
honesty.
The essential Christian (and Jewish and Muslim)
moral law about sex, from the beginning, has
always been very simple: “You shall not commit
adultery.” You shall not adulterate sex.” Everyone
knows what that means. It means don’t cheat on
your spouse. Don’t have sex with others. You can’t
give your whole self to more than one other whole
self.
The place for sex is marriage. The perfection of sex
happens only in marriage, in a voluntary,
committed, lifelong, faithful, heterosexual
relationship of mutual, total, self-giving love. That
is what marriage is: that is its essence, its nature,
what God designed it to be. The connection
between sexual love and marriage is part of the
essential nature of both sex and marriage. Marriage
is as natural to sex as air is to birds or the sea is to
fish. So we must look at marriage in our next
chapter.

Your pledged money to the Family of
Faith Campaign is for a 5 year period.
The money owed the parish will be paid
in 10 installments.
Every six months the parish will receive a
payment of $15,183.25 over the 5 year
period. So for 5 years, every year, the
parish will receive $30,366.50
Note
All figures are approximate and subject to
revision upward or downward.
Use of Monies
The parish has a long list of renovations
(list of priorities to come) which are
needed to keep the building in good
order; we will use the money for these
purposes. Also, a small percentage will
annually go toward paying off our debt to
the Archdiocese (this debt is from a
yearly tax of the Archdiocese on parishes,
which tax is assessed at 15% of the annual
parish collection--StJXXIII has not been
able to afford this payment, hence the
debt).
