Procession:
Eye Has Not Seen
Refrain
Eye has not seen, ear has not heard,
what God has ready for those who love him;
Spirit of love, come, give us the mind of Jesus,
teach us the wisdom of God.
1.
When pain and sorrow weigh us down,
be near to us, O Lord,
forgive the weakness of our faith,
and bear us up within your peaceful word.
Refrain
2.
Our lives are but a single breath,
we flower and we fade,
yet all our days are in your hands,
so we return in love what love has made.
Refrain
3.
To those who see with eyes of faith,
the Lord is ever near,
reflected in the faces of all the poor
and lowly of the world.
Refrain
4.
We sing a myst'ry from the past
in halls where saints have trod,
yet ever new the music rings
to Jesus, Living Song of God.

Blessing and Dismissal
Hail, Holy Queen
Prayer to St. Michael the Archangel
Hail, holy Queen, Mother of Mercy, our life, our sweetness and
our hope! To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve.
To thee do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this
valley of tears! Turn, then, O most gracious Advocate,
thine eyes of mercy toward us, and after this, our exile, show
unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus. O clement,
O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary.
V: Pray for us, O holy Mother of God.
R/: That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.
Retiring Procession:
St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle.
Be our defense against the wickedness and
snares of the Devil. May God rebuke him,
we humbly pray, and do thou, O Prince of
the heavenly hosts, by the power of God,
thrust into hell Satan, and all the evil spirits, who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls.
Amen.

Our Faith
GOD’S WORK OF SALVATION
God’s work of salvation is the focus of this weekend’s readings. From the prophetic event of Isaiah to
Jesus’ understanding of the human condition in Hebrews, concluding with Jesus paying our ransom in Mark,
God is in control. There may be failings and misunderstandings along the way. We may move away from
God, but at our conversion, God leads us back. Like James and John, we may let greed and power blur our
vision of what Jesus wants us to know about the Kingdom; but tirelessly we are taught and re-taught what life
in the Kingdom will be. Jesus has paid our ransom to ensure that we will share in the Kingdom.
It is not unusual to think of Jesus’ ransom as a punishment that he endured. However, it is more accurate,
and more like Jesus, for us to recognize ransom as God’s gift to us.

but would like to do so, please contact the Religious Education Office as soon as possible. You can call the
Parish Office at 773-792-3077 or e-mail [email protected]. Remember that sacrament preparation is a

share your time to help out, please contact the Religious Education Office.
Music Ministry: Choir practice is Wednesday at 7pm in church. Please contact Aaron Dixon for more
information. 773-792-3077 x215 [email protected]
Eucharistic Adoration: On Wednesdays at 1pm, the church is open for the Exposition
and Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, concluding with Benediction at 3pm. At
this time, people come together to pray and be with our Lord Jesus Christ. Consider
bringing someone with you...or bring their concerns, fears and struggles and speak with
our Lord about them. Scripture is filled with moments when people brought the sick
and those burdened directly to Jesus.
St. Thecla Women’s Council: Our next meeting of the Women’s Council takes place on
Tuesday, October 20, in Moriarty Hall. All women are invited to join us; annual dues are
$10.00 or $5.00 for those over 75 years young.

XXIX Niedziela Zwykła
Być misjonarzem Jezusa.
Wstęp do liturgii
Gromadzimy w Święty Dzień przy ołtarzu Pana , aby
złożyć razem z Nim dobremu Bogu Eucharystyczną
Ofiarę Jego Umiłowanego Syna Jezusa Chrystusa.
Dzisiejszą Niedzielą rozpoczynamy w Kościele
Powszechnym Tydzień intensywnej modlitwy w
intencji Misji. Podczas tej Mszy św. prośmy
Najwyższego, aby wspierał trud i poświęcenie pracy
tylu misjonarzy i misjonarek, którzy głoszą ofertę
zbawienia współczesnemu światu na wszystkich
kontynentach ziemi.
Módlmy się również o nowe i święte powołania
misyjne, aby nie zabrakło ludzi, którzy będą całym
swoim życiem, energią i zapałem wsiewać ziarno
ewangelicznej prawdy w ludzkie serca, które jeszcze
Chrystusa nie znają.
Uznajmy na początku tych świętych celebracji naszą
grzeszność, abyśmy z czystym sercem mogli złożyć
Bogu Ofiarę Jego Syna.
.
Wstęp do liturgii słowa
Każdy z nas jest powołany przez Boga do świętości.
Bóg pragnie, abyśmy z ufnością przybliżyli się do
Chrystusa, od którego możemy otrzymać łaskę
przebaczenia i miłosierdzia.
Wpatrzeni w Jezusa Chrystusa – Najwyższego
Kapłana i Sługę, który „nie przyszedł, aby Mu służono, lecz aby służyć i dać swoje życie” za innych.
Wsłuchajmy się w Jego słowa, które wzywają nas do
bezinteresownej służby naszym siostrom i braciom.

What are the haunted house reviews saying
about St. Thecla’s haunted house? Just wanted
everyone to know that Horror Tourers really enjoyed their visit last Saturday night - possibly our
best visit to Hair Razor yet. Creative scenes and
some unexpected scares, too - hats off to all of the
actors and everyone who puts Hair Razor together
- we love it!
