Striving to know, love, and serve God in all others.
The Pastor’s Two Cents
Increase Our Faith. . .
“The Christian ideal has not been tried and found wanting. It has been found
difficult and left untried.” This is according to G.K. Chesterton, who found Christians,
including himself, did not put their faith into action. But even the curmudgeon
Chesterton would agree there was a notable exception.
Francis of Assisi, the saint who launched a million birdbaths, hundreds of
thousands of statues, and the occasional service of Blessing of the Animals was, for
Chesterton, the one Christian who actually lived the Gospel. This Tuesday, October
4 , is the feast of St. Francis of Assisi and after the 9:00 am Mass that day,
which the school children will attend, Fr. Daniel will bless animals on the
lawn next to the church. St. Fr an cis stands as one w ho tr uly lived his
faith.
Francis was the son of a wealthy textile merchant, and as such, part of the new
Italian middle class that was coming into its own. His father’s wealth and Francis’
own natural charisma made the young man a leader of the youth of his town. Francis
gained a rock-star like following by the early 1200’s. He remains famous today not
because of his own words and actions so much as because his words and actions conformed so closely to those of Jesus. As a
boy Francis dreamed of earning glory in battle. He got his chance at an early age when he enlisted, along with the other
young men of Assisi, to fight in a feud against a neighboring city-state. Assisi lost the battle and Francis was imprisoned for
a time. Defeat in battle and serious illness in prison caused Francis to turn away from his visions of glory on the battlefield.
Francis’ path toward God took a series of turns closer and closer to God, rather than an all at once conversion. However,
the course of Francis’ life was profoundly changed by at least two formative experiences. On a pilgrimage to Rome, Francis
saw a beggar outside of St. Peter’s Church. The Holy Spirit moved Francis to trade places with the beggar. Francis
exchanged clothes with a beggar and then spent the day begging for alms. That experience of being poor shook Francis to
the core! Later he confronted his own fears of leprosy by hugging a leper. Like trading places with the beggar in Rome,
hugging a leper left a deep mark on Francis. Shaped by his experiences with the beggar and the leper, he had a strong
identification with the poor. Francis cut himself off from the opulent lifestyle of his father and sought out a radically simple
life. By the time of his death, the love of God had compelled Francis to accomplish much toward rebuilding the church. He
could look on thousands of lives transformed by his call for repentance and simplicity of life. Yet, Francis of Assisi was
simply a man transformed by the love of God and the joy that flowed from a deep understanding of all that God has done for
us.
Francis’ approach to his life of Christian service fits with Jesus words to us in today’s Gospel reading when he tells those
who follow him that they are to serve with no thought to reward. Jesus said, “Who among you would say to your slave who
has just come in from plowing or tending sheep in the field, ‘Come here at once and take your place at the table?’ Would you
not rather say to him, “Prepare supper for me, put on your apron and serve me while I eat and drink; later you may eat and
drink?” Do you thank the slave for doing what was commanded? So you also, when you have done all that you were ordered
to do, say, “We are worthless slaves; we have done only what we ought to have done!”
So when you come in from doing something for God, don’t expect a reward, only more work. Francis and some other
heroes may come to your mind today as people who lived mustard seed faith which bore great fruit. May the grace of the
Eucharist we receive help us to follow their example. St. Francis of Assisi pray for us!
Don’t forget, “The Lord is with you!

Question of the Week:
The Gospel tells us even a little bit of faith is enough
to make amazing things happen. How are you keeping your faith alive and growing? What good things
happen in your life because of your faith?
This weekend we will renew our Baptismal Promises. Each year we are offered the opportunity to renew these promises, originally
made by our parents and Godparents on the day of our baptism. Baptism happens once, but it is also an ongoing process of God
working through us. As an expression of our collaboration of the work of God within us through the renewal of our promises we
offer our ascent to God and through the sprinkling of Holy Water we are reminded that we can trust that God will continue to
work within us making us into the people God created us to be. Take some time this week to reflect an pray about the promises we
renew today.
Do you renounce sin, so as to live in the freedom of the children
of God?
I do.
Lord, all I want to is live in the freedom you offer me. I want to reject
the unloving choices I have made, and the failure to love anywhere in
my life. I reject all injustice, all violence, all that disrespects the dignity
of human life
Do you reject the lure of evil, so that sin my have no mastery
over you?
I do.
Lord, I admit that some evil has a hold on me: it is attractive, it has
such powerful rewards, it has become a habitual way for me to be myself. Lord, I renew my commitment this day to turn from that evil and
from letting any disordered attachment, any empty promises master me,
and try to separate me from you. By this promise, I commit myself to
greater courage in acting justly and refusing to let unjust systems and
strutures numb my conscience or dull my heart.
Do you reject Satan, the author and prince of sin?
I do.
Lord, as I renew my promises that accompany my becoming one with
you in the baptism of dying to sin and rising to life, I know that an
Enemy tries to tempt me to sin and to many dark patterns, I now
promise to you, and to my sisters and brothers who depend upon my
fidelity, that I renew my commitment to reject that Enemy, and all his
ways of subverting your reign and the coming of your kingdom.
Do you believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven
and earth?
I do.
Lord, you made me and give me life every day. I believe in you, I turn
to you, and I place my life, and the graces I need each day, in your loving hands.
Do you believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord, who was
born of the Virgin Mary, suffered death and was buried, rose
again from the dead, and is seated at the right hand of the Father?
I do.
Jesus, my Lord and Savior, my life is in your hands. I believe in you, I
turn to you, I commit myself to growing closer to you, placing myself
with you, in love—compassionate, self-sacrificing love—for others.
Do you believe in the Holy Spirit, the Holy Catholic Church, the
communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of
the body, and life everlasting?
I do.
Holy Spirit of Jesus, Jesus promised not to leave us orphans. I
so desire to be enkindled with the fire of your love, that I might
be renewed in courage. I believe in and renew my commitment
to your work among us. I want to contribute to the unity that
you desire for us. I promise to be as merciful, for I have known
your mercy. And I pledge to live my life each day on this earth,
full of faith in the resurrection Jesus gained for me.
And may almighty God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ
who has given us new birth by water and the Holy Spirit, and
bestowed on us forgiveness of our sins, keep us by his grace, in
Christ Jesus our Lord, for eternal life.
Amen.
Lord, Our God, through the waters of baptism you have renewed me. I
have come to know more intimately the complexity of my weakness and
the depths of your love for me. By your grace, I have come to experience
the mystery of the gift of life you offer. Please help me to remain free and
faithful that I might grow as a servant of Jesus’ own mission. I ask this
with growing faith in the name of Jesus, my Lord.

MINISTRY FAIR
St. Benedict Roman Catholic Parish
This weekend we are offering you another
chance to put your faith into action by finding
out how you might become more involved in
one or more ministries of the parish. Join us
after Mass St. in Bridget's Hall today. During
this time you will be able to meet people,
gather information, ask questions and come to
a greater awareness of all the opportunities our
parish has to offer. Please join us!
SERVICE DAY COMING SOON
Each fall we network the needs of individuals with willing
volunteers. It’s a kind of “two hour service camp” for all ages.
Parishioners tell us the kinds of help they need around the house
to get ready for winter and other parishioners let us know they
would be available and willing to help meet those needs.
The date is Saturday, October 22. We will meet at 8:30 a.m.
in Dougherty Hall for some basic instructions, to receive particular assignments, and pray before beginning the activity.
Call Deacon Claude if you need some help with a project
around home. Or call him to volunteer your services the morning
of October 22. Or sign the clipboards at the entrances of the
church.
Knightline
Thanks to all parishioners who stopped during the Ministry Fair to check out the poster
boards, literature and benefits of becoming a
Knight of Columbus! Thanks to Fr. Stan, Jean
Mercandetti, and the rest of the staff who created
such an inviting venue and successful Ministry
Fair in Dougherty Hall.
SAVE THE DATE! Bishop Matano is
coming to celebrate Mass at St Mary’s on Sunday, October 30, at
11:30 a.m! Bishop Matano will also be commemorating a gravestone dedicated to the “Unborn,” donated by the Knights of Columbus, Frank A Cutri Jr Council #1445, 11 years ago. This stone
sits at the front of Calvary Cemetery on your left, soon after you
drive in at 115 Clark St., Canandaigua. More on the itinerary details for that day to come.
Last week, the Youth Essay Contest materials for grades 8-12
were distributed. The topic is The Importance of Religious Freedom. There is recognition and prizes will be awarded for finalists

NOCTURNAL ADORATION SOCIETY
“Jesus awaits us in this sacrament of love,” wrote St. Pope
John Paul II. Please be with us on Friday, October 7, 7:00 to 8:00
p.m., in St. Mary’s Church adoration chapel. The Psalms, spiritual
readings, prayers, and silent adoration in our Office of the Blessed
Sacrament are a great way to give praise and thanks to God and to
pray for our country in this 2016 election year. We have this vigil
on the first Friday each month. Everyone is welcome.
ARE YOU REGISTERED TO VOTE?
Voter registration forms are available at the
doors to church. The deadline to register is October 14. Pope Francis had said, “We need to
participate for the common good. Sometimes
we hear: a good Catholic is not interested in
politics. This is not true: good Catholics immerse themselves in politics by offering the best
of themselves so that the leader can govern.” 9/16/13. That participation begins by registering.
This weekend we begin our
month-long “SAINTS OF MERCY”
outreach. Take a tag (or two) from the
display around the perimeter of the
church and assist our local brothers
and sisters in need.
2016 PUBLIC SQUARE ROSARY CRUSADE
This year is the 99th anniversary of the
apparitions of the Blessed Virgin Mary at Fatima, where she asked for prayer, penance, and
conversion.
Please join us to pray for our country and
for peace in the world. On Saturday, October
15, at 12:00 NOON, we will pray the Rosary
at two Canandaigua locations:
• in front of City Hall, and
• next to the church, in front of the PAC.
These will be just two of over 15,000 Public Square Rosary
Rallies taking place on this day in the U.S. Contact Marguerite
Fontaine at 585-905-0607 or Rose Moser at 585-690-0201 for
