Did you know that Pope
John Paul II declared this year as the year of the Rosary?
To pray the Rosary is a way
to be with Jesus and Mary. We are meditating on their life from the
Gospels.

SIN: How it Changes People
Have
you ever noticed how a little child can run naked through a room full of
strangers without embarrassment? He is not aware of his nakedness, just as Adam
and Eve were not embarrassed in their innocence. But after Adam and Eve sinned, shame and
awkwardness followed, creating barriers between themselves and God. We often experience these same barriers in
marriage. Ideally a husband and wife
have no barriers, feeling no embarrassment in exposing themselves to each other
or to God. But, like Adam and Eve (Gen.
3:7), we put on fig leaves (barriers) because we have areas we don’t want our
spouse, or God, to know about. Then we
hide, just as Adam and Eve hid from God.
In marriage, lack of spiritual, emotional, and intellectual intimacy
usually precedes a breakdown of physical intimacy. In the same way, when we fail to expose our
secret thoughts to God, we break our lines of communication with him.
In case of emergency, please call:
Father Ed Kosa
in Carman @ 745-2204 or
Father Roland Prescott in
The Diocesan
Office @ 237-9851. Thanks

is Coming! The shoeboxes have arrived!

peration Christmas Child is a project of Samaritan's Purse
that is aimed at providing international relief for children suffering around
the world due to war, natural disaster, poverty, illness or neglect. The
international director of this project is Franklin Graham, son of Billy
Graham. It is a very worthwhile project that brings joy and the awareness
of God's love to children in many needy countries.
There are brochures and shoeboxes in church today for you to
take and use for Operation Christmas Child. The deadline for returning
them to church is November 9.
All instructions are contained within the brochure. Please consider
preparing a box for a child who is in need. If you would rather make a
cash donation, that would be wonderful as well; we will use your donation to
purchase items for more shoeboxes. If you have any questions, please call
Julie Kalinowski at 822-8023.
Thank you in advance for your generosity and
compassion.
