Additional income of $11,701.06 was received from
Bequests, Wills, Church fees, Hall rentals. As you can
see our projected income was down $9,658. We
continue to keep our expenditures low; but we still
have not been able to pay our school assessment and
property and liability insurance. This is something we
are hoping to begin paying within the next 2 months
from the savings we have been able to realize and the
support we have received from your generosity to the
parish. We thank you for your continued support of
your Parish.
Contributions and Pledges have also been receive to
support the Diocesan Annual Appeal. It is a good sign
that we will be able to reach our parish goal. You have
also been very generous in giving to the Blessed
Sacrament Education collection topping a gift of
$2,000.
Now we are challenged by the devastation from the
Hurricane that has created great suffering to our
neighbors in Hatti. Your gift will be sent to the
diocese and distributed to the greatest need by
Catholic Relief Services. In the Year of Mercy let us
make a sacrifice born of gratitude that we are able to
show the compassion of Christ to those in need.
Twenty-Ninth Sunday in Ordinary Time—October 16, 2016 www.svdpfl.com
MESSAGE OF POPE FRANCIS
FOR WORLD MISSION DAY 2016
Missionary Church, Witness of Mercy
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
All of us are invited to "go out" as missionary disciples, each generously offering their talents, creativity,
wisdom and experience in order to bring the message
of God’s tenderness and compassion to the entire
human family. By virtue of the missionary mandate,
the Church cares for those who do not know the Gospel, because she wants everyone to be saved and to
experience the Lord’s love. She “is commissioned to
announce the mercy of God, the beating heart of the
Gospel,” and to proclaim mercy in every corner of
the world, reaching every person, young or old.
When mercy encounters a person, it brings deep joy
to God the Father’s heart; for from the beginning the
Father has lovingly turned towards the most vulnerable, because his greatness and power are revealed
precisely in his capacity to identify with the young,
the marginalized and the oppressed. He is a kind,
caring and faithful God who is close to those in need,
especially the poor; he involves himself tenderly in
human reality just as a father and mother do in the
lives of their children.
When speaking of the womb, the Bible uses the word
that signifies mercy: therefore it refers to the love of
a mother for her children, whom she will always love,
in every circumstance and regardless of what happens, because they are the fruit of her womb. This is
also an essential aspect of the love that God has for
all his children, whom he created and whom he
wants to raise and educate; in the face of their weaknesses and infidelity, his heart is overcome with compassion. He is merciful towards all; his love is for all
people and his compassion extends to all creatures.
Mercy finds its most noble and complete expression
in the Incarnate Word. Jesus reveals the face of the
Father who is rich in mercy; he “speaks of mercy and
explains it by the use of comparisons and parables,
but above all he himself makes it incarnate and personifies it.” When we welcome and follow Jesus by
means of the Gospel and sacraments, we can, with
the help of the Holy Spirit, become merciful as our
heavenly Father is merciful; we can learn to love as
he loves us and make of our lives a free gift, a sign of
his goodness.
The Church, in the midst of humanity, is first of all the
community that lives by the mercy of Christ: she
senses his gaze and feels he has chosen her with his
merciful love. It is through this love that the Church
discovers its mandate, lives it and makes it known to
all peoples through a respectful dialogue with every
culture and religious belief.
This merciful love, as in the early days of the Church,
is witnessed to by many men and women of every
age and condition. The considerable and growing
presence of women in the missionary world, working
alongside their male counterparts, is a significant sign
of God’s maternal love. Women, lay and religious, and
today even many families, carry out their missionary
vocation in various forms: from announcing the Gospel to charitable service. Together with the evangelizing and sacramental work of missionaries, women and
families often more adequately understand people's
problems and know how to deal with them in an appropriate and, at times, fresh way: in caring for life,
with a strong focus on people rather than structures,
and by allocating human and spiritual resources towards the building of good relations, harmony, peace,
solidarity, dialogue, cooperation and fraternity, both
among individuals and in social and cultural life, in
particular through care for the poor.
The Church can also be defined as "mother" for those
who will one day have faith in Christ. I hope, that the
holy people of God will continue to exercise this maternal service of mercy, which helps those who do not
yet know the Lord to encounter and love him. Faith is
God’s gift; it grows thanks to the faith and charity of
people who witness to Christ. As they travel through
the streets of the world, the disciples of Jesus need to
have a love without limits, the same measure of love
that our Lord has for all people. We proclaim the most
beautiful and greatest gifts that he has given us: his
life and his love.

Changes in our Liturgical Environment
Members of the Liturgical Environment Team present a theme of the: “End-Time Harvest” to decorate our
sanctuary for Fall and going forward to Thanksgiving. Today’s Gospel ends with the daunting question: “When
the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on earth?” We are reminded of the importance of keeping close to God
as we prepare for the end time and the Lord’s coming to harvest the earth.
WINNOWING BASKET with gr ains and chaff – This represents us. We are
the grains, the seeds that fall on good ground (Mark 4:8), the grain that has been
allowed to grow with the weeds (Matthew 13:24-30). We are the harvested
wheat the Lord will thresh and winnow.
Matthew 3:12, Luke 3:17 “His winnowing fork is in his hand, and he will clear
his threshing floor, gathering his wheat into the barn and burning up the chaff
with unquenchable fire."
Isaiah 41:16 "Y ou will winnow them, and the
wind will carry them away, And the storm will scatter them; But you will rejoice
in the LORD, You will glory in the Holy One of Israel.”
We present the grain in twelve bundles bound by thyme, connecting us to the
tribes of Israel.
MORTAR & PESTLE – This healing symbol of the Divine Physician and
Apothecary is placed near the altar in thanksgiving that we have received healing
through God’s Enduring Mercy (Psalm 136). We are
the crushed grains made into a new creation through
Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17) crushed to make the bread
(Isaiah 28:28) the Bread that nourishes us and
empowers us to be the living Body of Christ.
Reading the scripture text as the liturgical year draws to a close will give greater
meaning to the symbols found in the sanctuary. Sirach tells us; “The prayer of the
lowly pierces the clouds; the Lord will not delay.” Saint Paul says; “The Lord will
rescue me from every evil threat and bring me safe to his heavenly kingdom.” We hear
the humble prayer; “Lord, have mercy on me a sinner.” And, are reminded; “The Son
of Man has come to seek and to save what was lost.”
We celebrate the feasts days of All Hollows, All Saints and All Souls. You will be
requested to inscribe the names of those who have died that you would like to have remember in our harvest
prayers. “Lo, the day is coming, that will set them on fire...but for you who fear my name, there will arise the sun
of justice with its healing rays. On the feast of Christ the King we end this Extraordinary Year of Mercy standing
before the crucified humbly asking to be remembered when he comes into his Kingdom. You are invited to take a
closer look at these symbols of our faith and share what they mean in your life with family members and friends.
" ould you like to join the Environment Team to help decorate for
W
Advent, Christmas, Lent, Easter, Pentecost, Our Lady's Month of
May and for Corpus Christi? If you feel your talents are in
interpreting the seasons and scripture symbolically, or if you feel
you could contribute for the purchase of planned elements for our
worship, please see the Director of Liturgy, Sheila Shindorf at the
piano, most weekend Masses."
