TWENTY EIGHTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME 2 Kings 5:14-17, 2 Timothy 2:8-13
Luke 17:11-19 Brief Reflection: The word of God is powerful enough to cleanse us of sickness and sin. The first reading and the Gospel show us miraculous cures from the terrible disease of leprosy. Through faith and trust, those who were sick listened to and followed the direction of their healers and regained their lives and standing in the community. Nothing is beyond God’s capabilities, including forgiving our most egregious sins.
A Word from Fr. James… Dear brothers and sisters, This past weekend was the Rosary Bowl in Salem. It was great to see so many familiar faces and new faces gathering from all around to celebrate the Rosary and of course our Blessed Mother. Our own Jeannine Eisenbacher and a number of our youth lead the singing for Mass and later Benediction in the afternoon. They did an excellent job! I want to thank all of those from our parish that volunteered at this event and attended. You represented our parish well! I would invite everyone to mark their calendars for the first Saturday in Oc-tober for Rosary Bowl 2020. Next Sunday, October 20th, I invite you to attend Sacred Heart – St. Louis Harvest Potluck. It will begin at 11:15 am and will be held at the Sacred Heart gym. Please see the bulletin and advertisements for what to bring. It is a potluck, so we would ask that you please bring something to share. We will also have a dessert contest. It is a great time to gather together with our parish family to build com-munity with the Body of Christ. Not only are we nourished by the Eucharist during the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, but we are nour-ished when we gather as the Body of Christ as a Faith Community. It is also a time during these harvest days to give thanks for God’s bounty that he has given to us this past year. I hope to see you all there! During these autumn days, as the leaves are changing colors and the cool crisp foggy mornings begin once again, we are reminded to give thanks—to thank God in particular for all that he has given to us---the fruits of the earth that we harvest and the ability to do the work with our bodies. Sometimes we don’t remember to stop to give thanks to the one who gives all things. This Sunday in the Gos-pel we hear of the ten lepers that were healed, yet only one gave thanks. Let us not be like the nine lepers who were ungrateful. Have a blessed week! Fr. James
Prayer Intentions Let us pray for those who are sick in our commu-nity. Remember these parishioners and friends of the Parish in your prayers:
Laura Morley Marge Wallace May you find consolation in knowing that you are thought of and prayed for in this time of need.

Un Palabra de P. Santiago… Queridos hermanos y hermanas: El pasado fin de semana fue el Rosary Bowl en Salem. Fue ge-nial ver tantas caras conocidas y caras nuevas que se reunieron de todas partes para celebrar el Rosario y, por supuesto, nues-tra Santísima Madre. Nuestra propia Jeannine Eisenbacher y algunos de nuestros jóvenes dirigíen el canto para la misa y luego para la bendición en la tarde. ¡Ellos hicieron un excelente trabajo! Quiero agradecer a todos los de nuestra parroquia que se ofrecieron como voluntarios en este evento y asistieron. ¡Representaste bien a nuestra parroquia! Invitaría a todos a marcar sus calendarios para el primer sábado de octubre para Rosary Bowl 2020. El próximo domingo 20 de octubre, los invito a asistir al Sagrado Corazón - San Luis Harvest Potluck. Comenzará a las 11:15 am y se llevará a cabo en el gimnasio Sacred Heart. Consulte el boletín y los anuncios para saber qué llevar. Es una comida compartida, por lo que le pedimos que traiga algo para compar-tir. También tendremos un concurso de postres. Es un buen momento para reunirnos con nuestra familia parroquial para construir una comunidad con el Cuerpo de Cristo. La Eucaristía no solo nos alimenta durante el Santo Sacrificio de la Misa, sino que nos alimentamos cuando nos reunimos como el Cuerpo de Cristo como una Comunidad de Fe. También es un momento durante estos días de cosecha para dar gracias por la gener-osidad de Dios que nos ha dado el año pasado. ¡Espero verlos a todos ustedes allí! Durante estos días de otoño, a medida que las hojas cambian de color y las frescas y brumosas mañanas de niebla comienzan una vez más, se nos recuerda dar las gracias—agradecer a Dios en particular por todo lo que nos ha dado—el fruto de la tierra que cosechamos y la capacidad de hacer el trabajo con nuestros cuerpos. A veces no recordamos detenernos para agradecer a quien todo es posible. Este domingo en el Evan-gelio escuchamos de los diez leprosos que fueron sanados, pero solo uno dio gracias. No seamos como los nueve leprosos que fueron desagradecidos.
¡Ruego que tengas una semana bendecida! P. Santiago

Breve Reflexion: La palabra de Dios es lo suficiente-mente poderosa para limpiarnos de la enfermedad y el pecado. La primera lectura y el Evangelio nos muestran curas milagrosas de la terrible enfermedad de la lepra. A través de la fe y la confianza, aquellos que estaban enfermos escucharon y siguieron la dirección de sus sanadores y recuperaron sus vidas y permanecieron en la comunidad. Nada está más allá de las capaci-dades de Dios, incluyendo perdonar nuestros pe-cados más graves.
