22nd Sunday in Ordinary Time
Jesus knew that he would face the cross. Like Jesus life will
bring us to difficult places and we will face obstacles. Some-times
on our path of discipleship the obstacles are within us: I’m not
gifted; I don’t have the time; I am homebound. Sometimes the cross
we are asked to carry is very near to us: praying for someone who
annoys us; taking the time to recy-cle; finding and buying fair
trade products; learning about Church teaching on an issue that
troubles us. What cross is yours to carry this week?

Waco, TX. Grow in a deeper relationship with God by learning how
the Lord speaks to us in our everyday life. Franciscan Fa-ther
Albert Haase, OFM, will present this day based on his best-selling
book entitled, SAY ING Y ES; Discovering and Respond-ing to God’s
Will in Your Life. For more information contact Cedarbrake at (254)

Run—Sept. 29– Oct. 1 Father Stanley Rother died a martyr on July
28, 1981, in a Gua-temalan village where he ministered to the poor.
His life re-mains a testament to the difference one person makes.
Maria Ruiz Scaperlanda, author of the award-winning official
biog-raphy of this American martyr, will present this weekend
re-treat. She will highlight five personal qualities Father Stanley
proclaimed with his life. For more information contact Cedar-brake
at (254) 780-2436 or visit www.cedarbrake.org 100 Years, Our Lady
of Fatima– October 13 In the spring of 1917, three children
reported a vision of a beau-tiful lady in Fatima, Portugal. The
last time the Blessed Mother appeared to them was Oct. 13, 1917.
Her message continues to be one of prayer, especially, praying the
rosary for peace. Brian Egan, Beverly Collin and Deacon Klaus Adam
will lead the day of prayer in honor of the 100th anniversary of
Fatima. For more information contact Cedarbrake at (254) 780-2436
or visit www.cedarbrake.org Nurturing the Pilgrim Heart—November
3-5 By our vocation as Christians, we are called to follow Jesus,
to live as he lived, to love as he loved, to be part of the mission
he inaugurated. Responding to that call takes us on a journey which
will reconfigure our priorities and redirect our approach to life.
It will transform our heart so we will find rest only in God.
Incorporating the wisdom of Scripture and the insight of St. John
of the Cross, this weekend retreat will focus on nurtur-ing a
pilgrim heart. The weekend will be led by Holy Cross Brother Joel
Giallanza. For more information contact Cedar-brake at (254)

Message from Bishop Vasquez & Auxiliary Bishop Garcia
Together with our brother bishops, we urge all people of good will
to be united with those suffering as a result of the cata-strophic
damage caused by Hurricane Harvey. We are deeply concerned about
the parishes, communities and people that have been and will
continue to be impacted by the storm. We urge all people to
continue to follow the safety directives of the local emergency
management officials. ...Some victims will feel the long-term
effects of the storm system for years to come. We encourage the
faithful of the Diocese of Austin to be spirit-ually united with
the communities affected through prayer and support. Because we
believe that “God is our refuge and our strength, an ever-present
help in distress” (Psalm 46: 1), our neighbors require our resolve
to help them in their time of need. Considering the unprecedented
flooding and the disheartening circumstances in which our brothers
and sisters find them-selves, we are reminded that Jesus requires
us to help our neigh-bors out of mercy and love (cf Luke 10:
29-37).
Special collection today At the request of the U.S. Conference
of Catholic Bishops, all parishes in the Diocese of Austin are to
take up a special collec-tion for those affected by Hurricane
Harvey this weekend to assist those affected by the hurricane.
How to Help Catholic Charities of Central Texas is coordinating
our diocesan relief efforts for families impacted by Hurricane
Harvey. We encourage you to visit www.ccctx.org for more
information on how to offer help and to provide assistance for the
victims of the storm. If you have been affected by floods, call the
Disaster Re-sponse Hotline (512) 766-7111 or email
[email protected].
