10:00 AM� The Blanton Family�

This Friday, October 15, is the feast St. Teresa of

Avila, Doctor of the Church. Her accomplishments in

at least two areas are worth mentioning: first, the

reform of the Carmelite order. In the 16th century, in

Spain, life in the Carmel had become undisciplined.

The convent was seen by many as a place for a lady

to enjoy a sheltered and not terribly demanding life.

The parlor, where visitors were received, was

constantly full of the nuns’ acquaintances � which

hardly fostered a spirit of contemplation. When

someone mentioned the idea of actually living

according to the original Rule, Teresa took it as a

divine inspiration.�

� After establishing one convent that observed a

more rigorous discipline, Teresa went on to found

fifteen more in the span of as many years, including

some men’s communities. Like her contemporary

Carmelite reformer, St. John of the Cross, she faced

serious opposition and suffered a great deal in the

process. In one case, beginning the work of founding

a convent in Toledo, she had five ducats � the

equivalent of ten dollars � with which to do it. She

said, “Teresa and this money are nothing; but God,

Teresa, and these ducats suffice.”�

� Secondly, St. Teresa blessed the Church by

articulating her experience of mental prayer, in such

works as The Interior Castle and The W ay of

Perfection. She had no ambitions of making her name

as an author, but, in humility, she wrote her books

under obedience to her superiors. In fact, she

lamented that being required to write kept her away

from the spinning wheel. She drew from her own

experience, interpreted in the light of faith. In one

place she describes how she became slack in her

habit of mental prayer, accusing herself of using ill

health as a pretext. “The excuse of bodily weakness

was not a sufficient reason why I should abandon so

good a thing, which required no physical strength, but

only love and habit. In the midst of sickness the best

prayer may be offered, and it is a mistake to think it

can only be offered in solitude.”�

Caffeine: Fact or Fiction�

�

� Caffeine has a bad reputation, but is it a myth?

Chances are you have some misconceptions about

caffeine.�

�

Caffeine is addictive: It is a mild stimulant but is not

addictive like other drugs. It is a stimulant to the

central nervous system and regular use can cause a

mild physical dependence. Studies show that

moderate amounts of caffeine increase your mood and

alertness. However, limit your intake to 2�3 cups a day.�

Caffeine causes dehydration: It is a mild diuretic but

not very pronounced and the liquid the caffeine is in

compensated for the amount excreted.�

Caffeine can make heart disease worse: There is little

proof that caffeine raises the risk of heart attacks,

sudden death or abnormal heart rhythms.�

Caffeine heightens hypertension risk: It does cause a

small, short boost in blood pressure, but nothing to

cause alarm.�

Caffeine causes bone loss: There is a slight increase

in calcium excretion because of caffeine. So, as

always, take it in moderation!�

Caffeine causes insomnia: Caffeine is quickly

absorbed then excreted through the liver. Caffeine

consumed in the morning is out of your system within

8�10 hours.�

What’s happening at All

Saints Academy/St. Rose

Philippine Duchesne

Campus?

Thanks to Fr. Nickolai for the

beautiful blessing of the pets. While some parents

brought up their family pets, others had pictures

of their pets. It was a beautiful day to be outside

for the blessing.

Our eighth grade class has been visiting high

schools and trying to decide which high school is

best for them. Let’s pray for our eighth grade as

they decide which high school will help them grow

during the next four years.

It is hard to believe that the end of the first quarter

is almost here. Parent/Teacher conferences will

take place at the end of the month. It will be a

great time for parents and teachers to see the

growth that has occurred and create a plan moving

forward.

Thank you for your continued support and your

presence at Wednesday Mass. It is important for

our students to see parishioners at those Masses.

Let us continue to pray for one another.

Peace!

Barb Zipoli, Principal

almighty; from there he will come to judge the living and the
