Arnesani, Memorial Jesus has a way of turning the prevailing wisdom of the times upside down. Many people today routinely adopt the values of constantly climbing the ladder of secular success, acquiring as much power and influence as possible along the way, and pursuing wealth as if it were the Holy Grail in life. According to this weekend’s gospel reading from St. Mark, it seems that James and John, the sons of Zebedee, had similar thoughts. They approach Jesus with a request for a favor: “Grant that in your glory we may sit one at your right and the other at your left.” These brothers ignore the fact that Jesus has just told them for the third time that he would soon be arrested, tortured and executed. But they continue to think that Jesus would eventually be a gloriously reigning political Messiah, with them holding plumb cabinet positions in his Kingdom. They obviously misunderstand Jesus’ identity and mission in this story, for Jesus came among us not to acquire a secular status or to exercise earthly power. He came to be a suffering Messiah, the Anointed One of God who would drink the cup of suffering for the salvation of the world. Jesus invites James and John and all his disciples to follow his example and drink the cup that he drank, and be baptized into his suffering, death and resurrection. At the end of the gospel reading this weekend, Jesus teaches us that greatness in God’s eyes is not measured by success or power or wealth but by service: “whoever wishes to be great among you will be your servant, whoever wishes to be first among you will be the slave of all. For the Son of Man did not come to be served but to serve and to give his life as a ransom for many.” May we all strive for spiritual greatness by serving the Lord and our neighbor with generous, faithful love! Those who endow a Memorial Mass are welcome to bring up the gifts. Please identify yourself to an usher.

That day, major relics of St. Maria were on display at the Cathedral for public veneration. Her relics are presently making the rounds in our country in a sacred tour that is called a “Pilgrimage of Mercy,” a wonderful prelude to the Year of Mercy Pope Francis proclaimed for the faithful, a year that will begin in December. Thanks to Donna Hegan for arranging transportation for a bus full of SMG and OLA parishioners to attend this uplifting event. This weekend, our eleventh graders at St. Maria’s will receive the Sacrament of Confirmation, the sacrament that seals their baptism and bestows the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit (wisdom, counsel, understanding, knowledge, fortitude, piety and fear of the Lord) on them, empowering them to be strong and Liturgical Ministers - Weekend of October 24/25 4 PM 10 AM 5 PM ___ Sacristan Bernie Caniff Mary Anderson Marie Bell Lector Tom Manning Chris Barrett Marie Bell Mary Anderson Linda Beaver Carl DeMarco John DiBello Donna Hegan Glen DeRosa Sue Lepke Lisa Rossetti JJ Burns Kiera Burns Alex Gentile Maggie Ozanian EMHC Debbie Caniff Henry DeSantis Jim McGovern Altar Servers Henry Caulfield Brandon Powers (continued on next page) TwentyTwenty-ninth Sunday in Ordinary Time 3 October 18, 2015 Saint Maria Goretti Lynnfield, MA (continued from previous page) CALENDAR OF EVENTS OCTOBER 18 Sun. 20 Tue. 21 Wed. 21 Wed. 21 Wed. 24/25 24 Sat. faithful witnesses to Christ in our world. Let’s pray these young men and women will be active, practicing Catholics for the rest of their lives. Thanks to Steve Gannon for his ministry to these students for Confirmation. Next weekend, eleventh graders from OLA will be confirmed. A grateful shout-out to Andrea Gagnon for her ministry to these young people! A question has been raised recently about whether the funds of the two parishes in our Collaborative can be shared or intermingled. The answer is no. Each parish retains its own assets and is responsible for its own bills. If you are a parishioner of SMG, and use the envelopes or participate in the OAP or online giving program, your financial contribution is used exclusively to pay for SMG expenses even when you attend Mass at OLA. If you are a parishioner of OLA, and use either the envelopes or online giving, your contribution belongs solely to OLA even when you attend Mass at SMG. All loose bills and change remain in the parish where the collection is taken up. There is no intermingling of funds between the two parishes. I hope this response clarifies that particular issue. Welcome back Fr. Rick Lesser, now a priest of the Diocese of Albany, New York and our celebrant at the 4PM Mass at OLA and 10AM Mass at SMG this weekend…and blessings to all of you in the week ahead!
