Formed Pick of the Week

Angels: Bishop Fulton Sheen

In this compilation of three episodes from his classic television program, "Life is Worth Living," Bishop Fulton Sheen delivers his thoughts on various elements of the Catholic Faith with his ever-present humor, animated presentation, and captivating mode of speaking. In the first segment, "Angels," Bishop Sheen explicates the nature of angels and the meaningful role they play in our world.

The Holy Father’s Prayer Intention ~ October 2021 Missionary Disciples

We pray that every baptized person may be engaged in evangelization, available to the mission, by being witnesses of a life that has the flavor of the Gospel.

TEMPLARS for Our Lady of Loreto ~ Safety Tip for October Improper lifting is the top cause of back injury.

It is important to use proper lifting technique and know your limits. Use mechanical assistance or a partner to lift heavy loads. Even a small bag of groceries lifted with a twist or off-center can cause serious injury. Situate the load in front of you and between your knees; keep the back and shoulders straight; bend with your knees, not your back, and lift with your legs. Carry a load in front of and close to your body; lower it with a straight back using your legs.

Interested in joining the Security Team, contact Kevin Kasberg, [email protected] 720-270-5163.

READINGS Please visit https://bible.usccb.org/

Archbishop Fulton Sheen said, “It takes three to make love, not two: you, your spouse, and God.” Apart from the incarnation of God in Jesus Christ, nothing speaks better of God’s incarnate love than marriage. God designed it this way. We place great value on love and rightly so. What we fail to realize, however, is that love, its very presence and place in our lives, is not simply part of the human package deal. Love comes from God. It is one of God’s greatest gifts to human beings. When we begin to realize that our very ability to love is sacred, it changes up how we see the essence of life, and purpose and sanctity of marriage. God is love. It stands to reason then that if we follow the path of unconditional, self-emptying love we will then stumble upon God. It is precisely this intimate wedding of God with love that gives such eloquence and honor to the love between husband and wife. As a living sign of Christ’s love for the Church and for humanity, husbands and wives speak volumes of God’s unconditional incarnate love for all of his children! The Divine power that brings unity and life to marriage is so strong that once joined, it really cannot be separated. Admittedly, marriage covenants can be extremely difficult to negotiate and, at times, very painful to experience. God’s perfect divinity always meets our broken and imperfect humanity. God is okay with this setup as he created it this way. Our loving is never as unconditional as God’s and often tainted by our own imperfections, needs, memories, hurts, sinfulness, and weakness. All of this baggage negatively impacts even the most well-intentioned marriages, causing them to be hurtful and empty. We are love works in progress. God can succeed in perfecting our love only if we keep our eyes fixed on him as the source of that love. That’s why marriage is always about three and not just two. The Divine intimacy at the heart of marriage is what can make them celebrations of great union and happiness. Couples who are still madly in love with each other after many years, still looking at each other with that timeless twinkle in their eyes, best tell the story of God’s oneness with humanity. Honor, celebrate, and support those who have accepted a vocation to marriage. Living in a world that easily pulls relationships apart, may they find hope and inspiration from their faith companions who are on the same journey!

REFLECTIONS & READINGS

Gospel Meditation

Question:

Can a person (the mother, father, or provider) ever be forgiven for an abortion?

Answer:

For people of faith, any conversation of human sinfulness should always lead us to reflect on God’s loving mercy. Because God’s mercy is greater than any sin, the Church is clear that even those involved in the sin of abortion can be reconciled with God and the Church. To help make this grace more available through the Sacrament of Reconciliation, Pope Francis extended the permission to absolve someone of the sin of abortion to all priests in 2016.

Even with the grace and blessings of the Sacrament of Reconciliation, the tragedy of abortion and the aftermath of abortion takes a toll on everyone involved. Ministries of outreach and support, such as Project Rachel, offer pastoral counseling, support groups, retreats, and other forms of care. As Christians, we are also called to help promote this healing and reconciliation in all its forms. To learn more, visit www.hopeafterabortion.com.

Why do we do that?

“ Lord, make me an instrument of thy peace.

Where there is hatred, let me sow love.”

St. Francis of Assisi

Our RE theme for the year: “My Heart Your Home”

What does it mean to rest in the heart of Jesus?

Jesus taught St. Gertrude to understand His love for each and every soul as deep, intimate, and personal. He showed her how He longs for each of us to come to Him in prayer. He wanted her to know His heart and to make it known.

The life of St. Gertrude the Great reminds us that at the heart of our Faith is a relationship. A deeply personal one: lived out, nourished,

and enriched by everyday prayer, uniting us to Christ Jesus. God ardently desires to communicate the love of His heart to each of ours.

From: Cheryl Hadley, “St. Gertrude the Great: Into the Heart of Christ Through Prayer”, catholiccompany.com

Mission Statement

Our Lady of Loreto Catholic School exists to provide a Christ centered education of the whole child, respecting his/her dignity as created by God for God in his image. Nurturing the spiritual intellectual, emotional, and physical character of each child, the school forms the child to be a leader in the community who proclaims Christ, faithful to his teachings and those of his Catholic Church.

Would you like to get a PEEK of our Preschool Program?

We are hosting a Fall event where soon-to-be-preschoolers can do some early trick or treating and parents can learn more about our 3 and 4 year old program! The event begins at 6:00pm on October 19th. Plan for one hour. Please park near the big red playground and follow the signs. We look forward to seeing you!

Please contact Marie Young at 303-951-8334 for more information.
