The 26th Sunday in Ordinary Time
September 27, 2015
The Sacrament of Reconciliation: Confessions are heard each week on Saturday at the Church (SR #46) from
3:45pm to 4:45pm or by calling the parish office to make an appointment with a priest.
The Sacrament of Baptism: Call the parish office to learn the necessary requirements and make an appointment with
Fr. Kenneth Metz to have your child baptized. Ask us about the requirements for Godparents.
The Sacrament of Marriage: Getting marr ied? Congratulations! The process of being mar r ied in the Catholic
Church could take 6 months to a year to complete. Please contact Ann Cammarata at the parish office as soon as possible
after your engagement if you would like to be married at All Souls Catholic Church.
Anointing of the Sick: Please call the parish office. The Rite of Anointing tells us there is no need to wait until a
person is at the point of death to receive the Sacrament. Did you know that the Sacrament may be repeated if the per-
son becomes sick again? A person should be anointed before surgery when a dangerous illness is the reason for the inter-
vention.
Eucharistic Ministry to the Sick and Homebound: If you are unable to attend Mass, please call the par ish office
so we may assist you in having a visit from one of our ministers or one of our priests.
Catholic Funeral and Burial: Please call the par ish office or have the funeral home dir ector contact us to ar r ange
the Funeral Mass and for more information about burial at All Souls Catholic Cemetery.

"It is better for you to enter into life crippled than with two feet to be thrown into Gehenna." Jesus' listeners would have recognized this reference. Gehenna was in fact a deep ravine located outside of Jerusalem that had a sordid past. It had been the site of pagan rituals in which children were forced to walk through fire. Thus the spot had become known as a symbol for the fires of hell. In today's Gospel, Jesus is making a dramatic contrast between "life" (heaven) and Gehenna (hell). He emphasizes that no sacrifice is too great to keep oneself out of the miseries of hell. His images are shocking. Cutting off hands and feet? Plucking out eyes? Ouch! Is hell really so bad that we'd rather go to heaven maimed than go to hell in one piece? Apparently so. Some interpreters suggest that Jesus was using hyperbole to make his point. Perhaps. But whether it was literal or figurative, the point remains clear: we need to do whatever it takes to avoid sin and ultimately to avoid hell. The catechism defines this state of eternal misery as "definitive self-exclusion from communion with God" (§1033). Yes, self-exclusion. God doesn't "send" anyone to hell. Rather, someone chooses hell when he or she freely chooses something over God and won't repent. The choice is ours: cut out the source of the sin—painful though it may be—or stubbornly march with our beloved sins straight into Gehenna. Realistically, what we choose "over" God are not so much our physical body parts as things like a high-paying job that isn't ethical, a favorite pastime that isn't morally upright, or a relationship that isn't chaste. Jesus tells us clearly today, whatever it is that "causes you to sin, cut it off." Period.
26º Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario "Ojalá que todo el pueblo de Dios fuera profeta y descendiera sobre todos ellos el espíritu del Señor" (Nm 11, 29). Moisés ya no puede seguir solo con la carga de todo el pueblo y acepta la libertad del Espíritu de Dios que sopla donde y cuando quiere. Lo ideal del mensaje es que todos seamos profetas para anunciar las maravillas de Dios y a la vez clamar por la justicia que el pueblo merece. Las lecturas de hoy son claves para el discernimiento en la forma de relación entre los grupos parroquiales. Se hacen los planes, la misión esta puesta, solo falta ejecutar las acciones. ¿Quiénes lo harán? Debemos aceptar a toda persona que actúe honestamente en nombre de Jesús, sin recelos ni reclamos entre los diferentes grupos. Cómo hacerlo? Recordemos siempre que las actitudes y las acciones de los que llevan a cabo el ministerio pueden acercar o alejar a los demás. Jesús nos lo pone más claro todavía al escuchar la respuesta que le da a Juan. "No se lo prohíban, porque no hay ninguno que haga milagros en mi nombre, que luego sea capaz de hablar mal de mí" (Mc 9, 39). Y Jesús agrega, poniendo broche de oro a su respuesta: "Todo aquel que no está contra nosotros, está a nuestro favor" (Mc 9, 40). No olvidemos: Jesús siempre dejó libres a los que sanó. No les impuso órdenes: ellos siguieron su vida normal, con la única diferencia de aceptarlo. Todo esto pasó
durante el camino hacia Jerusalén, el cual representa un proceso de formación para los discípulos que iban madurando su fe a base de experiencias nuevas. Nadie es especialista en el ministerio; es Dios quien nos llama a serlo.

Saint of the Week
Thérèse of Lisieux 1873–1897
Memorial—October 1
Left motherless at four-years old, she followed two older sisters into the clois-tered Carmelites, entering at fifteen as Sister Thérèse of the Infant Jesus. St. Thérèse was unable to travel to the missions during her lifetime, but prayed fervently for their success. In 1896, she contracted tuberculosis and after months of suffering died at the age of twenty-four. Posthumous publication of her autobiography, “The Story of a Soul,” prompted popular devotion. The “Little Flower” is remembered for her “little way” of seeking perfection in the ordinary with a simple but total trust in
God. She is the patron of missions and missionaries. In 1997, St. John Paul II declared her a Doctor of the Church.

We are in need of individuals (presently serving in our parish as EMHC’s) to serve in our Ministry to the Sick (MTS). Eucharistic Ministers to the Sick to bring communion to those who cannot attend Mass because of illness, injury or age issues. These ministers keep parishioners connected to our parish and bring them the comfort and strength of the Eucharist during difficult times in their lives. We minister to people in their homes, in nursing homes, assisted living facilities , hospitals, and retirement communities within our parish. Time commitment for this ministry varies by minister. Some choose to commit to bringing communion to a homebound parishioner weekly for many years. Ministers choose the commitments that fit their work schedule and family needs. We firmly believe that the Holy Spirit guides our Minister to the homebound parishioner who needs them the most. If you would be willing to offer your time and prayerful support to those that are unable to attend Mass, your involvement as a MTS member would be greatly appreciated. Please contact Adam Heyboer at 407.697.4402 for more information.
