Congratulations to
Jim and Pat Brandt
on the celebration of their
50th wedding anniversary.
May they be blessed with good
health and happiness.
Last Sunday you had the opportunity to make your pledge to
the 24th annual Bishop’s Appeal. If you were not here this
past weekend, or were not prepared to make your pledge,
please know that you may make your pledge today following
Mass. A representative of the appeal committee will be in the
East Room, off the Gathering Space, to assist you. For the
next two weekends we will receive pledges following the
Masses, or you may bring your pledge to the church office during office
hours. Thank you very much for supporting the work of Bishop Rhoades as
he shepherds the diocese. Also, your gift helps the parish, as the overage
will be used to help defray the cost of parish grade school tuition for families
in financial need.
In our Gospel this Sunday, Jesus exhorts his disciples (and us!) to pray always without becoming weary. In our
second reading, St. Paul tells Timothy (and us!) that all Scripture is useful for teaching, refutation, correction and
training in righteousness. An ancient form of prayer with the Sacred Scriptures is Lectio Divina, which means
"sacred reading." In Lectio Divina, one reads a very brief passage of scripture slowly and moves through various
stages (reading, reflecting, responding and remaining) all the while engaged in a prayerful conversation with
God. Below is a simple instruction on how to pray Lectio Divina that you can cut out of the bulletin and use as a
bookmark in your Bible. For a more detailed description and instruction on Lectio Divina, please read
Father Andrew's homily from this week on his blog: loweryournets.blogspot.com.
WEDDING BANNS
“Let us pray that the Holy
Spirit will strengthen and
enlighten these couples
as they prepare to take
their marriage vows.”

Lectio (Reading)
Take your time and read the passage. Get a sense of what it is saying. Read
the passage a second time. Listen for any words or phrases that strike you,
and listen in your heart.
Meditatio (Reflecting)
Read the passage again, slowly. As you pause on the words or phrases that
strike you, take time to consider what the word, phrase, or passage means,
particularly in your life.
Oratio (Responding)
Read the passage again, slowly. Consider now how God has spoken to you in
this passage and respond back to Him. You may want to consider how this
passage is asking you to act differently.
Contemplatio (Remaining)
Now take some time to simply remain in the silent presence of God.
Devoting at least 20 minutes each day for Lectio Divina is a good starting point.
However, even 5 minutes of meditation on Sacred Scripture each day is better than no
meditation at all. Start somewhere and let God’s grace help you grow over time.

ADOPT-A-MOM TRAINING SESSION
A 2-1/2 hour training session will be held in the
nursery (off the Gathering Space) at 6:30 pm on
Thursday, October 28. This training session is
mandatory for all who want to participate in the
Adopt-A-Mom ministry. Those who are still
discerning are welcome to attend without making a
commitment.
Adopt-A-Mom is a new ministry at St. Vincent's
which lends support to mothers who have chosen
life for their babies. For more information, call Judy
at 637-3238 or Laura at 637-8415.
In a time of loss it is important to know that there is
a place where you can be with others who
understand your pain. This is a time when being
with others who have walked their own path of grief
may be of comfort and offer solace in a way that our
family and friends cannot give. St. Vincent’s
Bereavement Ministry is holding a Bereavement
Support Group Session which will meet from
6:30—8:30 pm for seven weeks. The dates are
Wednesday, November 3, 10, 17; Tuesday,
November 23; and Wednesday, December 1, 8, 15.
All meetings will be held in the East Room in the
Gathering Space of church. It is our hope to provide a
comforting atmosphere in which to share the grief
and bereavement process and to offer emotional
support. We are also having an All Souls Day Mass
on November 2 at 5:30 pm with a candle lighting
service. If this is something you are looking for, call
Therese Yankowiak 489-6741. Your loss need not
be recent for you to attend.

ONE SUNDAY FOR THE WHOLE WORLD
Students, including our St. Vincent 8th Graders, recently
marched to the abortion clinic and prayed for Life.
Next Sunday,
Pope Benedict XVI
calls every Catholic
in the world to
celebrate our vocation
to be missionary. It's
World Mission Sunday!
As Catholics around the world
(here at home and in the Missions)
gather at the Eucharist around the
table of the Lord, we are to pray for
the Church's worldwide missionary
work. We pray for those awaiting
the "Good News" of our Lord's great
love for us and for the missionaries
who offer the poor and suffering the
light of Christ. And we are to offer
financial help through the Society
for the Propagation of the Faith for
more than 1,150 dioceses in Asia,
Africa, Latin America and the Pacific
Islands.
