    MASS SCHEDULE

    cripturehe Lord has delivered his people, (Jeremiah 31:8)hose who sow in tears will reap with cries of joy. (Psalm 126:5)ou are my son: this day I have begotten you; (Hebrews 5:5)e threw aside his cloak, sprang up and came to Jesus. (Mark 10:50)

    esus told him, Go your way your faith has saved you. Immediately he recovered his sight and followed him one way. (Mark 10:52)

    eflectionWhat hope is there for a blind beggar who relies only on himself?

    r one who resigns his only hope to be faith in Jesus?

    ow committed is Bartimaeus to receive a cure from Jesus?What does he do with his cure?What afflicts you and keeps you from believing completely in Jesus?

    Jesus healed all your afflictions today, what could you do?

    nd once he heard and understood the Word of God, he tried to put it into practice in his own life. For him theWord was life and not to live it was to deprive himself of really living. That was what the dream was really about in

    s own mind: to dare to live radically and simply, to take a chance on Christ. And what caused inestimable joy inrancis and his brothers was that the Gospel worked. If you tried to live it without reservation, you suddenly experi-nced a whole new worldview and you felt as though you had never lived before.1

    St. Michaels Book of the Deadraying for the dead is a Christian obligation. In the modern world,hen many have come to doubt the Church's teaching on Purgatory,e need for such prayers has only increased. The Church devotes the

    month of November to prayer for the Holy Souls in Purgatory, andarticipation in the Mass of All Souls Day is a good way to begin the

    month. The Book of the Dead will be at the main entrance of thehapel beginning November 1st. Please enter the names of your be-ved dead. We will lift them in prayer at each mass.

    Advent MeetingMinistry coordinators are call to meet onOctober 31 right after Vigil Mass in theactivity room. We will discuss Adventand Christmas Activities and events.

    The Sheep and the GoatsParables of Jesus. Written by Pete Millerhe message Jesus taught in Matthew 25:31-46 is sometimes characterized as a parable, although, unlike most parables, it does not relate a story of events happother characters. In this discourse, Jesus associated the final judgment with separating sheep and goats. This separation was something familiar to the people

    ere listening, because they lived in an agricultural environment. It doesnt mean that people are of the same worth as anima ls, or that goats are actually cursedres. The comparison likely was used only to get the peoples attention. Jesus emphasis was on something far more important what they were doing withves.

    When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the holy angels with Him, then He will sit on the throne of His glory. All the nations will be gathered

    im, and He will separate them one from another, as a shepherd divides his sheep from the goats. And He will set the sheep on His right hand, but the goats

    ft. Jesus spoke of Himself in a future tense, the King of Kings and Lord of lords, the Judge of all humanity. Paul taught, He has appointed a day on which Hdge the world in righteousness by the Man whom He has ordainedthe Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge the living and the dead at His appearing and His

    om. (Acts 17:31; 2 Timothy 4:1)In Matthew 25:34-40, Jesus separated based on works. Then the King will say to those on His right hand, Come, you blessed of My Father for I was h

    nd you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in; I was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited

    as in prison and you came to Me. Then the righteous will answer Him, saying, Lord, when? And the King will answer and say to them, inasmuch as y

    to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.

    It must be noted that Jesus was teaching Israelites under the Law, not Christians, because the church didnt exist yet. Jes us was teaching works because thill the criterion for righteousness. Then it will be righteousness for us, if we are careful to observe all these commandments before the Lord our God, as Hommanded us. (Deuteronomy 6:25)

    Then He will also say to those on the left hand, Depart from Me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels This group ents those who did not obey the Law, for example, in Leviticus 19:15-18: You shall do no injustice in judgment. You shall not be partial to the poor, nor honerson of the mighty. In righteousness you shall judge your neighbor. You shall not hate your brother in your heart but you shall love your neighbor as yours

    esus taught that these people had condemned themselves by their failure to do the kinds of humanitarian acts that the obedient people had done, saying, inas you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to Me. And these will go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.

    wasnt as if they had no warning. Besides the Law, which was taught in the synagogues regularly during Jesus time, Solomo n had written in Ecclesiastes 12:For God will bring every work into judgment, including every secret thing, whether good or evil. Even earlier in Jesus ministry, He had taught this. F

    on of Man will come in the glory of His Father with His angels, and then He will reward each according to his works. (Matthew 16:27) Revelation 20:11-1borates this.Similar to the parable of the tares and wheat, and others, like the parable of the wedding banquet, and the ten virgins, Jesus was trying to wake people up

    ality that life is short and death is certain, and what one does in the here and now determines ones eternity. This is still true in essence for the Christian, alth

    ghteousness is imputed by faith in Jesus Christ, not works. God has made available salvation by grace since Pentecost, but hand in hand with that gift of salvatailor-made destiny complete with a challenging but satisfying job description including good works.

    -- who also co-wrote the screenplay with ALoeb -- "Here Comes the Boom" is that Howood rarity, a film which extols Christiantue. In this case the quality being showcasself-sacrifice as James' character displaysaltruism needed to turn around a failing puschool.

    Scott Voss (James) is a washed-up bioteacher at fictional Wilkinson High SchooBoston. A decade ago he was "Teacher ofYear"; today, he's uninterested and boremore baby-sitter than educator. The wicPrincipal Betcher (Greg Germann) runs Wison like a business, cutting salaries and acties at will.

    Scott can't even get the girl; Bella (SaHayek), the aptly named school nurse, repedly turns down his requests for a date.

    What rouses Scott from his personal professional slumber is the beautiful mbeing made in the classroom next door bycolleague Marty Streb (Henry Winkler) Marty's student orchestra.

    Marty's zest for teaching -- and life in eral -- stirs something in Scott. So when Prpal Betcher announces that the music progis to be eliminated -- along with Marty's joScott rises to the occasion, pledging to raise$48,000 necessary to keep the activity in pl

    At first, Scott tries to raise the fundconventional means, moonlighting as a tutoimmigrants seeking to become U.S. citizOne of his students, Niko (Bas Rutten), former mixed martial arts fighter (as is Ruin real life). There's big money to be haentering the cage, Scott discovers, and taon the sport which combines boxing, kicking, karate, judo and wrestling.

    A one-time college wrestler, Scott decto channel his inner "Rocky" and becomcage fighter. Despite being beaten to a puleach bout, Scott inspires his students andworkers -- especially Bella, who tendpatches up his wounds.

    A crucifix hangs above Scott's bed. He gers his support team together in prayer bethe big fight. And around the dinner tablefellow fighters discuss the Bible, admJacob's all-night wrestling match with the aas recounted in Chapter 32 of the BooGenesis. Jacob lost that battle -- but ultimawon out through faith in God and submissiohis will.

    The film contains realistic martial artsquences, a brief scene of gross-out humorone instance of crass language. The CathNews Service classification is A-II -- adultsadolescents.
