ST. ELIZABETH PASTORATE
INSPIRATION FOR THE WEEK“To fall in love with God is the greatest romance; to seek Him the greatest adventure; to find Him the greatest human achievement.” These words of St. Augustine are timeless. Every human being would certainly profit with wisdom if they realized Who calls them and to Whom they belong. There is only one way to satisfy the deepest longing of the human heart and that is in relationship with our Creator. When we seek God with true sincerity of heart and God passes us along our way, we will cry out, “Jesus, Son of David, have pity on me!” We will instinctively know that it is only our Divine Master who can restore our sight and heal us. The blind man fell in love with Jesus, embarked upon this life-saving adventure to reach him and achieved a goal many have only remotely thought possible. This is mercy in action. No matter how far we stray or how blind we become God patiently waits to console us, guide us, and heal us. All we need to do is desire Him with all our heart. ©LPi

FROM THE PASTOR
In our gospel reading this weekend, we hear the story of Bartimaeus, a blind man who begs along the side of the road. In Jesus’ day, a physical ailment like blindness, was seen as a punishment from God and it excluded you from the community. Most people would not give you the time of day and those who suffered those inflictions were forced to beg for basic provisions. As Jesus passes, Bartimaeus knows who is passing and realizes his chance, “I want to see,” Bartimaeus proclaims. When Bartimaeus’ eyes are opened, he begins to follow Jesus. He feels a personal relationship with the Lord and becomes his disciple. How are we blinded? How are our “eyes” not opened to see the work of the Lord and how we can have a closer relationship with the Lord? Pray that our eyes are opened.
Other items to note:· Join Fr. Kruse this Sunday, October 24, at 12:30 PM at the church in Petersburg for a tour of the newly
renovated space.· Altar server training/retraining is next Saturday, October 30 beginning at 9:30 AM at St. John the Baptist
Church, Peosta. We will start to utilize altar servers soon.· Monday, November 1, is All Saints Day. It is not a Holy Day of Obligation this year because it falls on a
Monday. · The Pastorate Grief Support group will begin on Monday, November 1 in Shannon Hall, Peosta at 6:30 PM. · Please pray for our seminarians, Adam Goetz and Greg Lambert. Adam is finishing his final year at Loras
College and Greg has been working at the Pastorate and Seton Catholic while living at the rectory in Placid. Adam and Greg plan on attending major seminary next fall to complete their formation before ordination.
· All our parishes have now had their annual auctions/celebrations. All went well and it was good to gather again. Thanks to those who organized the events. It is becoming more difficult to find people to plan and organize these events, so your willingness to volunteer is greatly appreciated.
· The Lord has blest us with some beautiful weather this autumn.
Altar Server Training is Saturday, October 30 at 9:30 AM at St. John the Baptist Church, Peosta. Training is for students of St. Elizabeth Pastorate parishes in third grade
and up, and who have received their 1st Holy Communion. Afterwards, join us for a family social with pizza and bowling at Round Two, Peosta!
Everyone is invited to attend a Holy Hour of prayer for a greater respect for life on Thursday, October 28, 7:00-8:00 PM at St. John’s, Peosta. Please join us in closing out Respect Life month with an hour of prayer before the Blessed Sacrament.
The Friday Community Meal is served from 11:15 AM to 12:00 PM at the St. Patrick Church Hall in Epworth. Eat in or carry out. Delivery service is still available. All are welcome! For questions, contact Rod at 563.451.3134 or Sandy at 563.580.3102.
There will be a Knights of Columbus Memorial Mass on Sunday, November 7 at 9:00 AM at St. Joseph, Farley.
St. John, Peosta has a Hearing Loop for hearing aid users.
Hearing Loops allow people with hearing aids or cochlear implants to receive the sound from the sound system directly in their own hearing aids without having to pick up a separate listening device. Check with your audiologist to see if your hearing aid has a T-coil or Telecoil built in. (If you have hearing loss but do not have a hearing aid or if your hearing aid does not have a working telecoil setting to access the hearing loop, there are individual receivers available.)
QUESTION OF THE DAYWhat aspect of my life needs healing?
