TODAY’S READINGS FIRST READING WIS 7:7-11 I prayed, and prudence was given me; I pleaded, and the spirit of wisdom came to me. I preferred her to scepter and throne, and deemed riches nothing in comparison with her, nor did I liken any priceless gem to her; because all gold, in view of her, is a little sand, and before her, silver is to be accounted mire. Beyond health and comeliness I loved her, and I chose to have her rather than the light, because the splendor of her never yields to sleep. Yet all good things together came to me in her company, and countless riches at her hands.
RESPONSORIAL PSALM PS 90:12-13, 14-15, 16-17 R. (14) Fill us with your love, O R. (14) Fill us with your love, O R. (14) Fill us with your love, O R. (14) Fill us with your love, O Lord, and we will sing for joy!Lord, and we will sing for joy!Lord, and we will sing for joy!Lord, and we will sing for joy!
Teach us to number our days aright, that we may gain wisdom of heart. Return, O LORD! How long? Have pity on your servants! (R.)(R.)(R.)(R.) Fill us at daybreak with your kindness, that we may shout for joy and gladness all our days. Make us glad, for the days when you afflicted us, for the years when we saw evil. (R.)(R.)(R.)(R.) Let your work be seen by your servants and your glory by their children; and may the gracious care of the LORD our God be ours; prosper the work of our hands for us! Prosper the work of our hands! (R.)(R.)(R.)(R.)
GLORIA Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to people of good will. We praise you, we bless you, we adore you, we glorify you, we give you thanks for your great glory, Lord God, heavenly King, O God, almighty Father. Lord Jesus Christ, Only Begotten Son, Lord God, Lamb of God, Son of the Father, you take away the sins of the world, have mercy on us; you take away the sins of the world, receive our prayer; you are seated at the right hand of the Father, have mercy on us. For you alone are the Holy One, you alone are the Lord, you alone are the Most High, Jesus Christ, with the Holy Spirit, in the glory of God the Father. Amen.
NICENE CREED I believe in one God, the Father almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all things visible and invisible. I believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Begotten Son of God, born of the Father before all ages. God from God, light from light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father. Through him all things were made. For us men and for our salvation, he came down from heaven, and by the Holy Spirit, was incarnate of the Virgin Mary and became man. For our sake, he was crucified under Pontius Pilate. He suffered death and was buried and rose again on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures. He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead and his kingdom will have no end. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the Giver of Life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son, who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified, who has spoken through the prophets. I believe in one, holy, catholic, and apostolic Church. I confess one baptism for the forgiveness of sins and I look forward to the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come. Amen.
SECOND READING HEB 4:12-13 Brothers and sisters: Indeed the word of God is living and effective, sharper than any two-edged sword, penetrating even between soul and spirit, joints and marrow, and able to discern reflections and thoughts of the heart. No creature is concealed from him, but everything is naked and exposed to the eyes of him to whom we must render an account.
As Jesus was setting out on a journey, a man ran up, knelt down before him, and asked him, "Good teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?" Jesus answered him, "Why do you call me good? No one is good but God alone. You know the commandments: You shall not kill; you shall not commit adultery; you shall not steal; you shall not bear false witness; you shall not defraud; honor your father and your mother." He replied and said to him, "Teacher, all of these I have observed from my youth." Jesus, looking at him, loved him and said to him, "You are lacking in one thing. Go, sell what you have, and give to the poor and you will have treasure in heaven; then come, follow me." At that statement his face fell, and he went away sad, for he had many possessions. Jesus looked around and said to his disciples, "How hard it is for those who have wealth to enter the kingdom of God!" The disciples were amazed at his words. So Jesus again said to them in reply, "Children, how hard it is to enter the kingdom of God! It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for one who is rich to enter the kingdom of God." They were exceedingly astonished and said among themselves, "Then who can be saved?" Jesus looked at them and said, "For human beings it is impossible, but not for God. All things are possible for God." Peter began to say to him, "We have given up everything and followed you." Jesus said, "Amen, I say to you, there is no one who has given up house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or lands for my sake and for the sake of the gospel who will not receive a hundred times more now in this present age: houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and lands, with persecutions, and eternal life in the age to come."

p. 5 October 10, 2021 — 28th Sunday in Ordinary Time
GOSPEL MEDITATION ENCOURAGE DEEPER UNDERSTANDING OF SCRIPTURE If we are truly in love with God, then the basics are not going to be enough. That love is going to want to be expressed in going above and beyond, in leaving the comfortable and familiar, in stretching and growing, and in following a voice other than our own. St. Teresa of Calcutta rightly instructs us that for “love to be real, it must cost, it must hurt, it must empty us of self.” Being in love with God requires more than just checking the boxes of the commandments. It requires a sincere and unconditional self-investment. Desiring God with our whole heart, mind, and soul means that I must also desire a relationship with my neighbor with that same degree of fervor. Biases and prejudices usually occur when people are kept at a distance and treated as objects. We cannot truly know our neighbors, especially if they are different than us, if we keep them in boxes and do not listen to their stories. When we open ourselves to listen to another person’s story, we begin to realize more how similar we are than dissimilar. Being overly attached to our possessions, ideologies, agendas, lifestyles, and personal needs are absolute barriers to achieving the type of personal investment love demands. This is why following Christ can be difficult. It is less a matter of intellect and more a matter of
heart and soul. It requires that we transfer our treasure from an investment in tangible secular things and move it into the Kingdom of God. It is only the gift of wisdom and discernment that can help us decide what to do and how to do it. Contemporaries of Jesus would know that a camel could not enter through the portal of a city weighed down with the baggage it was carrying. In order to enter, the baggage must be removed so that the animal could fit through the entry way. The same is true for us. We carry a lot of excessive baggage around with us that keeps us tethered to our past

REFLECT
FIRST READING Today’s reading presents wisdom and prudence as life’s most precious gifts. Why do you think these virtues were held in such high regard by ancient Israel?
SECOND READING Hebrews connects the power of the word of God with divine judgement — one day we must all “render an account” of our lives before the Lord. How often do you think about your own judgement day?
GOSPEL READING Jesus teaches the rich man and the disciples that while wealth can often hinder one from entering the kingdom of God, self-sacrifice and discipleship can earn eternal life. How well do you balance these realities in your life?
histories, wounds, myopic world views, prejudices, fears, and suspicions. To invest ourselves in the Kingdom of God, do God’s work and live out our love relationship with God, we need to shed the extra weight. While it may seem that a lot of that stuff is necessary, it really is not. We are much more than the things that we think define us and more secure than we think. The more there is to hold on to and the more that we carry with us, the harder it will be to leave it all behind. Many choose not to and walk away sad because they are not ready to trust.

This Prayer for Spiritual Communion is to be prayed at home during Communion while partaking in live streamed or broadcasted Mass.
My Jesus, I believe you are present in the Most Blessed Sacrament. I love you above all things and I desire to receive you into my soul. Since I cannot now receive you sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace you as if you were already there. And unite myself wholly to you. Never permit me to be separated from you. Amen.

Dear Parishioners,
Possessions. We all have possessions. Unfortunately, our belongings can preoccupy our minds so much that they obscure or distort how we should see things. We might overvalue things that shouldn’t matter very much and undervalue things that should matter. In essence, possessions can interfere with our ability to live a life of deep and lasting faith.
Jesus understood the potential danger of possessions, so he challenged the rich man to rid himself of them so that he might live a more Christian life.
“Jesus, looking at him, loved him and said to
him, ‘You are lacking in one thing. Go sell what you have, and give to the poor and you will have treasure in
heaven; then come follow me.’”
Jesus challenged the rich man solely out of LOVE. He wanted the man to have a deeper relationship with God. He wants the very same thing for each of us. Jesus knew what was possible for this man if he was able to let go of the material things in this world that don’t last and simply lured him into focusing on himself rather than others. If we , too, can let go of our material possessions, we can enjoy a life of great beauty, meaning, hope and love. We should strive to want God above all things, value God above all things, hope in God above all things, and trust in God above all things. Yours faithfully in Christ, Fr. Jose, AM

It has been once again brought to our attention that parishioners and staff have received email messages pretending to be Fr. Jose. These messages often greet the person by name, ASKING FOR A FAVOR, and include Fr. Jose’s name and signature. This is a well-crafted and targeted attack on the Church across the country which has hit our Diocese again. The messages are “spoofed” fakes that should NOT be responded to or taken seriously by anyone. The best defense against this sort of scam is to raise awareness in the community and DO NOT respond or open any attachments. It is Diocesan policy that no priest or staff within the Diocese request donations in the forms of gift cards, PayPal, MoneyGram, etc. If a parishioner is worried about any request for money or favor from the parish staff or priest, we ask that you PLEASE DELETE THE EMAIL and call the Parish Office. Under NO CIRCUMSTANCES should you ever respond to these scam requests.

To be with our Lord in Heaven, we are baptized, we follow the Holy Scripture, and we keep the Lord in our hearts throughout our earthly journey. Death is not the end but rather the next step. During life our bodies are the temple of the Holy Spirit. At death, we present our bodies to a sacred Catholic funeral and burial to be prepared for the Resurrection. Just as you have chosen to be a part of a Christian community, you will want the burial of your remains to reflect that same Christian faith while choosing to rest in peace with other Christians in a Catholic cemetery. Choosing a final resting place on consecrated grounds is your choice, your privilege and the right of every Catholic, as well as a confirmation of faith in our everlasting union with our Lord.

WORLD MISSION SUNDAY OCT. 24, 2021
World Mission SundayWorld Mission SundayWorld Mission SundayWorld Mission Sunday - the annual, worldwide Eucharistic celebration for the Missions of the Church - will be observed on October 24October 24October 24October 24 this year. This important day in the life of the Church universal fortifies our understanding of our shared call to mission, bestowed upon us at Baptism. Pope Francis’ message for World Mission Sunday reflects on the theme: “We cannot but speak about what we have “We cannot but speak about what we have “We cannot but speak about what we have “We cannot but speak about what we have seen and heard”seen and heard”seen and heard”seen and heard” (Acts 4:20). The Holy Father shares his zeal, reminding us that, “as Christians, we cannot keep the Lord to ourselves,” as we “recall with gratitude all those men and women who by their testimony of life help us to renew our baptismal commitment to be generous and joyful apostles of the Gospel.” He invites us to speak our faith! World Mission Sunday provides us with that very opportunity. We can speak about our faith and respond to our missionary call - through prayer, participation in the Eucharist, and giving generously to the collection for the Society for the Propagation of the Faith Society for the Propagation of the Faith Society for the Propagation of the Faith Society for the Propagation of the Faith on that special day.
