Pastor’s Column GOD REVEALED TO THE NATIONS
What wonderful images we have today of the reign of God! Isaiah speaks to us of a great feast—a heavenly feast—a feast of abundance with rich foods and choice wines. It is the Lord’s own affair, Isaiah explains, when God will unite all nations, dry every tear, and destroy death forever. Then, too, will the entire earth rejoice in the Lord and bask in God’s saving grace. Jesus speaks of heaven in terms of a feast as well. Here, the kingdom of heaven is likened to a king’s wedding feast given for his son. This is a feast of abundance also, with the fattened cattle prepared just so. But many of the people invited don’t want to come, so the king invites anyone who would honor his son by their presence there. And Paul tells us that whether we live abundantly or in humble circumstances, we can do all things in the Lord who strengthens us.

Religious Education Dear Religious Education families, Our Faith Formation Pick Up Party: Drive-Through Disciples was a success! Thank you to everyone who helped and participated. You now have both the “in-your-hand” age-appropriate version of the Gospel weeklies and catechism book for each of your children as well as a passcode for access to online resources and videos for enrichment. The focus of the Pflaum Gospel Weeklies series is the Sunday Gospel: listening to God's Word, learning to apply it to your life and things going on in the real world, and learning Catholic doctrine which springs from that Gospel and the other Sunday readings. Our year of religious education officially begins this weekend, with catechesis at home and virtual check-ins and meetings from instructors. If you have a registered ninth-grader, please watch your email for information regarding Confirmation. In His service, Jessie COLUMBUS DAY Commemorates the landing of Christopher Columbus in 1492. It was unofficially celebrated in a number of cities and states as early as the 18th century, but did not become a federal holiday until 1937. We honor Columbus’ achievements and celebrate Italian-American heritage. Columbus Day and the man who inspired it have generated controversy, and many alternatives to the holiday have proposed since the 1970s including Indigenous Peoples' Day – www.history.com SAINT TERESA OF JESUS Gifted with a passionate spirit, young Teresa dreamed of converting Muslims and becoming a martyr. All things are passing; God never changes. But her mother’s death when Teresa was fourteen inspired lifelong devotion to Our Lady, and Teresa entered the Carmelites, Mary’s order, despite her father’s objections and her own fragile health. Patience gains everything. Initially, she enjoyed her lax convent’s sociability and “busyness,” but mystical prayer and John of the Cross’s collaboration inspired her to reform the Carmelites. Whoever has God, lacks nothing. When her ideals encountered resistance and brought suffering, she maintained her peace—and humor. Discovered devouring leftovers, she told her mildly scandalized nuns, “When I fast, I fast! When I eat, I eat!” To nuns demanding less work and more prayer in the convent schedule, she retorted: “What we really need around here are fewer starry eyes and more strong arms!” God alone is enough! The italicized sentences here are her “Breviary Bookmark,” the simple, profound prayer of Teresa, the first woman Doctor of the Church.
