ST. VINCENT de PAUL
In the Gospel today Jesus says: “Repay to Caesar what
belongs to Caesar and to God what belongs to God.” When
God is the center of our lives there is no problem with
giving others their due.
Through your gift to the Society of St. Vincent de Paul you
are helping your neighbor who is hungry, hopeless and
frightened to know that they belong to God.
Christ died to bring peace to the world. And so we pray:
Lord Jesus, grant us peace. For an end to bitterness and
hatred, we pray, Lord Jesus, grant us peace. For an end to
divisions among races and religions, we pray, Lord Jesus,
grant us peace. For an end to hostility between nations, we
pray, Lord Jesus, grant us peace. Amen.

RESPECT LIFE MONTH
Every October, the Church across the United States observes
“Respect Life” month as an expression of our commitment
to the value of every human life from its beginning stages in
the womb to the end of earthly life. This year’s theme is
“Each of us is a MASTERPIECE of God’s creation.” During
October we will feature articles related to this topic.
SPIRITUAL TEACHING OF DESERT MONKS
Better Meat Than Pride
Isidore the Priest said, ‘If you fast regularly, do not be
inflated with pride, but if you think highly of yourself
because of it, then you had better eat meat. It is better for a
person to eat meat than to be inflated with pride and glorify
himself’.
40 DAYS FOR LIFE: SEPTEMBER 24-NOVEMBER 2
From September 24 through November 2, you are invited to
join other Christians for 40 Days for Life – 40 days of prayer
and fasting for an end to abortion. You are also invited to
stand and peacefully pray from 7:00 a.m.-7:00 p.m. each day
in the public right-of-way outside Planned Parenthood, 1055
Commonwealth Avenue, Boston. Also, Friday night
candlelight vigils outside Planned Parenthood begin at 7
p.m. every Friday night from September 26 - October 31.
For more information visit 40daysforlife.com/boston.
ADULT CONFIRMATION CLASSES
Many adults have not completed their initiation as Catholics.
There are also many Christians baptized in another
denomination who wish to inquire about Catholicism or
enter into communion and become Catholics. (Protestants
who become Catholics don’t convert. They are already
Christians). We are beginning classes in October to help and
accompany adults who wish to begin this process. If you or
someone you know wants to join us in October, please call
the parish office or speak to one of the priests. If you know
an adult or child who was never baptized and wants to learn
about Christ and/or become a Christian, please speak to one
of the priests as this process is slightly different from
Confirmation classes.
THE JOY OF THE GOSPEL COURSE
Father Michael is leading a course/discussion on Pope
Francis’ Apostolic Exhortation “The Joy of the Gospel”. The
Holy Father wrote this reflection helping us to see the
meaning of true joy and what a joy it is to be a Christian and
a Catholic. The classes are from 6:30 to 8:00 p.m. on the
Wednesdays in October and take place in the St. Mary’s
Religious Education building on the first floor.
STUDY OF ST. MARK’S GOSPEL
Fr. Tim Murphy will be leading a study of the Gospel of St.
Mark on six Sunday evenings from 5:30-7:00 p.m.
beginning on Sunday, October 26. We will be using A
Catholic Commentary on Sacred Scripture: The Gospel of
Mark by Mary Healy. All meetings will take place in the St.
Mary’s Religious Education building on the first floor. The
text costs $15 and will be a valuable reference to you in
praying and reflecting on this gospel. Beginning on the first
Sunday of Advent we will be reading St. Mark’s Gospel
every Sunday at Mass. Please contact the rectory if you plan
to attend and we will get you a copy of the text.
VOTING SEASON WATERTOWN SAVINGS BANK

CARTA DE LOS OBISPOS DE MASSACHUSETTS
Extracto de la declaración de cuatro obispos católicos de Massachusetts.
“Nosotros, los obispos de cuatro diócesis católicas en la
comunidad de Massachusetts una vez mas nos sentimos
obligados a oponernos a la expansión del juego en
Massachusetts e instamos a los ciudadanos a votar “Yes” (Si)
en la pregunta 3 en la boleta el 4 de Noviembre. Un voto de
“Yes” (Si) prohibiría los casinos y salones de tragamonedas
en el estado. Massachusetts ha superado al resto del país en
amplitud y rapidez en su recuperación económica desde la
recesión que avivo el debate sobre la expansión del juego.
Así mismo, otros estados en el Noreste donde el juego de
azar es legal han visto tendencias preocupantes en la
disminución de ingresos en sus establecimientos. De hecho
es probable que cinco de los doce casinos en Atlantic City,
New Jersey, cerraran a finales del 2014.
La iglesia Católica ve al juego de azar como un forma
legitima de entretenimiento cuando se hace con moderación,
pero la expansión del juego abre las puertas a una nueva
forma de juego depredador. La comunidad será forzada a
depender de un ingreso inestable, dependiendo grandemente
de aquellos que son adictos al juego. Ciudadanos que ya se
encuentran entre los mas pobres en la comunidad.
Massachusettes puede decir NO al votar ”Yes” (Si) en la
pregunta 3 y parar la expansión del juego depredador.
