I love You above all things, and I long for You in my soul. Since I cannot now receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. As though You have already come, I embrace You and unite myself entirely to You; never permit me to be separated from You. Sincerely, Fr. Mark PUBLIC CELEBRATION OF MASS - COVID-19

Gospel Meditation
Dear Parishioners, This year we have been hearing and studying the Gospel of St. Mark. In the Gospel of Mark, a major theme is “the way”. Jesus is depicted as constantly making his way to Jerusalem where he will purify the temple and establish a new temple sacrifice at the Last Supper and upon the cross. The word “way” is constantly repeated, and Jesus invites others to follow him along the “way of the Lord.” This month in Rome, Pope Francis opened a worldwide “Synod on Synodality”. The word “synod” comes from a Greek word that means “journeying together” (literally “same path”). The pope wants to make sure that we are moving forward together to accomplish the mission of the church, which is to lead people to heaven. The church is a “pilgrim people” (Lumen Gentium 7) who strive together toward the goal of salvation. In today’s Gospel passage, the word “way” is repeated several times. We hear about poor blind Bartimaeus who is seated along the wayside where Jesus was passing by. Presumably, this blind beggar had found his way to a busy intersection where he could beg for alms. His life was changed because his path met the path of Jesus. Bartimeaus was cured because he humbly admitted his need for Jesus, cried out to him, cast aside his cloak, and allowed himself to be led to Jesus (Mark 10:46-52). In ancient times, beggars would sometimes spread their cloak on the ground to collect coins tossed to them. By throwing away his cloak, he gave up all he had to follow Jesus. But his cure was only the beginning of a life of following the new “way” of Jesus (“The new way” was the first secret code word used to refer to the persecuted Church.) Jesus told Bartimaeus: “Go our way; your faith has saved you,” and then Bartimaeus “followed him on the way.” Today is “World Mission Sunday”, which reminds us that we are on a pilgrimage with the people of every continent throughout the world. In 2009 there was a synod of African Bishops at which Pope Benedict XVI compared Bartimaeus to the people of God, the Church. The pope beautifully described the intersection of the paths of God and man. He said that the poor people in Africa: “are like the blind man of the Gospel, Bartimaeus, who ‘sat begging by the road.’ …The Lord meets Bartimaeus, who has lost his sight, on that road. Their two paths meet and they become one path. ‘Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!’ the blind man confidently says. Jesus answers: ‘Call him!’ and adds: ‘What do you want me to do for you?’ God is light and the creator of light. Man is the son of the light, made to see the light, but he has lost his sight, and he finds himself forced to beg. The Lord, who has made himself a beggar for our sake, passes by him: hungry for our faith and our love. ‘What do you want me to do for you?’ God knows but asks; He desires that it to be man who speaks. He wants man to stand up on his feet, to rediscover the courage to ask for what belongs to his dignity.” The Pope concluded his homily by crying out: “Courage! Get on your feet, continent of Africa!” During this coming year which will be dedicated to synodality, let us have the humility and courage to get on our feet and follow Jesus! Sincerely, Fr. Mark
MEDITACIÓN EVANGÉLICO Estimados feligreses, Este año hemos estado escuchando y estudiando el Evangelio de San Marcos. En el Evangelio de Marcos, un tema principal es "el camino". Jesús es representado constantemente en su “camino” a Jerusalén, donde purificará el templo y establecerá un nuevo sacrificio en la Última Cena y en la Cruz. La palabra "camino" se repite constantemente, y Jesús invita a otros a seguirlo por el "camino del Señor". El 10 de Octubre, el Papa Francisco inauguró un “Sínodo sobre Sinodalidad” para el mundo entero. La palabra "sínodo" proviene de una palabra griega que significa "viajar juntos" (literalmente "el mismo camino"). El Papa quiere asegurarse de que avancemos juntos para cumplir la misión de la Iglesia, que es llevar almas al cielo. Somos un “Iglesia peregrino” (Lumen Gentium 7) que camina para alcanzar la meta que es la salvación. En el evangelio de hoy, la palabra "camino" se repite varias veces. Oímos hablar del pobre Bartimeo, un ciego que está sentado junto al camino por donde pasaba Jesús. Presumiblemente, este mendigo ciego se había dirigido a una intersección muy transitada con la intención de allí pedir limosna. Su vida cambió porque su camino se cruzó con el camino de Jesús. Bartimeo fue curado porque admitió humildemente que tenía necesidad de Jesús. Bartimeo le gritó a Jesus, se quitó el manto y se dejó llevar a Jesús (Marcos 10: 46-52). En los tiempos antiguos, los mendigos a veces extendían su manto en el suelo para recoger las monedas que les arrojaban. Al arrojar su manto, Bartimeo dejó todo lo que tenía para seguir a Jesús. Su curación fue el comienzo de una vida nueva en el “camino” con Jesús. Jesús le dijo a Bartimeo: “Sigue nuestro camino; tu fe te ha salvado ”, y luego Bartimeo “lo siguió por el camino”. (Durante los primeros siglos de la historia de la Iglesia, se usaba las palabras “el nuevo camino” para referirse a la Iglesia. En tiempos de persecución estas palabras se usaban como clave secreto para indicar a la Iglesia perseguida). Hoy es el “Domingo Mundial de las Misiones.” Esto nos recuerda que la Iglesia peregrina con la gente de todos los continentes del mundo. En 2009 hubo un sínodo de obispos africanos en el que el Papa Benedicto XVI comparó a Bartimeo con el pueblo de Dios, la Iglesia. El Papa describió y hablo muy bonito de la intersección de los caminos de Dios y del hombre. Dijo que los pobres de África “son como el ciego del Evangelio, Bartimeo, que 'mendigaba sentado junto al camino' ... El Señor se encuentra con Bartimeo, que había perdido la vista, en ese camino. Estos dos caminos se encuentran y se convierten en el único camino. "¡Jesús, Hijo de David, ten piedad de mí!", dice el ciego con insistencia. Jesús responde: "¡Llámalo!" Y agrega: "¿Qué quieres que haga por ti?" Dios es luz y creador de luz. El hombre es hijo de la luz. Es creado para ver la luz, pero había perdido la vista y era obligado a mendigar. El Señor, que se ha hecho mendigo por nosotros, pasa por el camino hambriento de nuestra fe y de nuestro amor. “¿Qué quieres que haga por ti?” Dios lo sabe, pero pregunta. Quiere que sea el hombre quien hable. Quiere que el hombre se ponga de pie, que redescubra el valor de pedir lo que es de su dignidad”. El Papa concluyó su homilía gritando: “¡Ánimo! ¡Ponte de pie, continente de África! " ¡Durante este año dedicado a la sinodalidad, ojalá que tengamos la humildad y el valor para ponernos de pie y seguir a Jesús! Atentamente, P. Marcos PrayerspRAYER FOR THE sICK

30th Sunday in Ordinary Time
“And Jesus said to him, ‘Go your way; your faith has made you well.’ And immediately he received his sight and followed him on the way.” - Mark 10:52
Faith is believing in something even though you may not be able to see it physically. Many people think that miracles don’t happen anymore. This is hard, but try to focus on the positive and not the negative things in your life. When you focus on your blessings instead of your hardships, miracles will seem common. You will see God’s active presence in your daily life. You will begin to develop an attitude of gratitude.

“y Jesús le dijo. ‘Sigue tu camino; tu fe te ha curado’. E inmediatamente pudo ver y lo siguió en su camino”. - Marcos 10:52
La fe es creer en algo aun cuando no pueda verlo físicamente. Muchas personas piensan que los milagros ya no suceden. Esto es difícil, pero trate de centrarse en las cosas positivas de su vida y no en las negativas. Cuando se centra en sus bendiciones en lugar de hacerlo en sus dificultades, los milagros parecerán comunes. Verá la presencia activa de Dios en su vida cotidiana. Usted comenzará a desarrollar una actitud de gratitud.

Spiritual Communion
Even if one cannot sacramentally receive the Eucharist, everyone should be aware of the practice of making a spiritual communion. The following is a daily prayer for Spiritual Communion:
O my Jesus, I believe that You are in the Blessed Sacrament.
I love you above all things, and I desire to receive you into my soul.
Since I cannot at this moment receive you sacramentally,
come at least spiritually into my heart.
I embrace you as if you were already there and
unite myself wholly to you.
Never permit me to be separated from you.
Amen.
-St. Alphonsus Liguori

saINT OF THE wEEK
Bl. Chiara "Luce" Badano
October 29, 1971 - October 7, 1990
Feast Day: October 29
Chiara “Luce” Bandano was born in 1971, an only child to parents who had waited long for her arrival. As a child, she was bright, friendly, athletic, and had many friends. At age 9, she joined the Focolare movement and was very inspired by this spirituality. She was struck with cancer at age 17, but never lost her bright spirit. After a two-year battle with the disease, she entered eternal rest on October 7, 1990. Her last words were a message of hope: “Be happy, because I am!” She was beatified by Pope Benedict XVI in 2010.
“I think you all know that on Saturday September 25th, in Rome, an Italian girl named Chiara, Chiara Badano, was beatified. I invite you to get to know her: her life was short, but it’s a wonderful message. Chiara was born in 1971 and died in 1990, because of an incurable illness. Nineteen years full of life, of love, of faith. Two years, the last ones, also filled with pain and suffering, but always in love and light, a light that shone around her, and that came from within: from her heart filled with God! How can this be? How can a girl of 17, 18 years live a suffering like this, without any kind of human hope, spreading love, serenity, peace, faith? Obviously, this is a grace from God, but this grace was also prepared and accompanied by human collaboration: the collaboration of Chiara herself, certainly, but also of her parents and her friends.” — Pope Benedict XVI, Palmero, October 3, 2010

Beata Chiara "Luce" Badano
29 de octubre, 1971 - 7 de octubre, 1990
Día de fiesta— 29 de octubre
Chiara “Luce” Badano nació en 1971, hija única de unos padres que esperaron mucho para que ella llegara. De niña, Chiara fue muy despierta, amigable y atlética y tuvo muchos amigos. A los 9 años, se unió al movimiento de los Focolares, sintiéndose muy inspirada por esa espiritualidad. A los 17 años, le dio cáncer pero ella nunca perdió su radiante espíritu. Luego de una lucha de dos años contra esa enfermedad, ella falleció el 7 de octubre de 1990. Sus últimas palabras fueron un mensaje de esperanza: “¡Sé feliz, porque yo lo soy!”. Chiara fue beatificada por el papa Benedicto XVI en el 2010.
“El sabado 25 septiembre, en Roma, fuè declarada beata una chica Italiana de nombre Chiara, Chiara Badano. Los invito a conocerla: su vida no fuè larga, pero es un mensaje maravilloso. Chiara nació en 1971 y murió en 1990, por causa de una enfermedad incurable. Diecinueve años llenos de vida, de amor, de fè. Dos años, los ultimos, llenos tambien de dolor, pero siempre en el amor y en la luz, una luz que iluminaba a su rededor, y que llegaba de adentro: desde su corazon lleno de Dios. Como es posible todo esto? Como puede una chica de 18 años vivir un sufrimiento asì, humanamente sin esperanza, difundiendo amor, serenidad, paz y fè? Claramente es una gracia de Dios, pero esta gracia fue preparada y acompañada tambien por medio de ayuda humana: la colaboracion de Chiara misma, sin duda, pero tambien la de su padres y amigos”. - Benedicto XVI, Palermo, 3 de octubre 2010

Expand the horizons of our minds, that we may grow in wisdom, understanding, and knowledge; deepen our commitment to seek the truth of your ways; and enliven our faith to reach out to those in need. Glory and praise to you, Lord God, in the Church and in Christ Jesus forever and ever.
R/. Amen

“Our Lady showed us a great sea of fire which seemed to be under the earth. Plunged in this fire were demons and souls in human form.... ”
(Lúcia dos Santos, Visionary of Fátima)
The terrifying and horrific vision of hell, which the Shepherd Children witnessed, “lasted but an instant.” Lúcia tells us: “We looked up at Our Lady, who said to us, so kindly and so sadly: ‘You have seen hell where the souls of poor sinners go. When you pray the Rosary, say after each mystery: O my Jesus, forgive us, save us from the fire of hell. Lead all souls to heaven, especially those who are most in need.’”
Our Lady instructed the Little Shepherds: “Sacrifice yourselves for sinners, and say many times, especially whenever you make some sacrifice: ‘O Jesus, it is for love of You, for the conversion of sinners, and in reparation for the sins committed against the Immaculate Heart of Mary.’”
