THE
RICH
YOUNG MAN
AND ME
One way to enter
into a particular
passage from the
Bible is to put
ourselves in the
place of one of
the characters.
Try doing that today with the character of the rich young
man in today’’s Gospel. We have all asked the kind of ultimate question posed by the young man: ““What must I do to
inherit eternal life?”” (Mark 10:17). So often we focus on other
kinds of questions that have to do with our lives here on
earth, questions like ““What percentage of my salary should I
dedicate to my 401(k) plan in order to retire comfortably?””
While considerations such as these are important to ensure a
comfortable future, today’’s Gospel challenges us to ask the
question that matters so much more.
EL
JOVEN
RICO Y YO
Una manera de
comprender
mejor un
pasaje de la
Biblia es ponernos en el lugar
de uno de los
p e rs o n a j e s .
Trata de hacer eso con el personaje del hombre rico en el
Evangelio de hoy. Todos hemos hecho el tipo de pregunta
clave que formuló el joven. ““¿Qué tengo que hacer para ganar la vida eterna?”” Muy frecuentemente nos enfocamos en
otra clase de preguntas relacionadas con nuestra vida diaria
aquí en la tierra, preguntas como: ““¿qué porcentaje de mi
salario debería destinar para mi plan de ahorros a fin de
jubilarme con tranquilidad?”” Aunque ese tipo de preguntas
son importantes para asegurarnos un futuro mejor, el Evangelio de hoy nos reta a hacer la pregunta que más importa.
FORETASTE OF THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN
Jesus’’ response to the rich young man reveals an understanding of what God’’s kingdom is all about. What we do
here on earth is simply a rehearsal for the life to come. In
God’’s kingdom, there is no suffering, no poverty, no injustice.
What we do with the gift of our earthly lives must focus on
doing our part to establish that kind of kingdom here on
earth. We do not have to look far to realize that this world is
in need of change. Like the rich young man, we all strive to
keep the commandments. Like him, we, too, are asked to do
much more, most of the time in small ways, in our families,
neighborhoods, schools, and workplace. The first step is to
live a life of awareness——we need to attune ourselves to
opportunities for doing our part to alleviate suffering and
injustice. We live in hope that when we arrive at heaven’’s
door, what awaits us there will not be something completely
surprising. What we hope to find is a kingdom of which we
had a foretaste while we were here on earth.
UN ANTICIPO DEL REINO DE LOS CIELOS
La respuesta de Jesús al joven rico nos ofrece un anticipo de
cómo es el Reino de Dios. Lo que hacemos en la tierra es
sencillamente un ensayo de la vida por venir. En el Reino de
Dios no hay sufrimiento, ni pobreza ni injusticia. El uso que
hacemos del regalo de nuestra vida terrenal se debe centrar
en esforzarnos para establecer esa clase de reino aquí en la
tierra. No tenemos que buscar demasiado lejos para darnos
cuenta de que este mundo necesita un cambio. Como el joven
rico, todos nos esforzamos por cumplir los mandamientos.
Así como en su caso, a nosotros también se nos pide hacer
mucho más, la mayoría de las veces algo pequeño en nuestra
familia, vecindario, escuela y centro de trabajo. El primer
paso es tener mayor conciencia, necesitamos aprovechar la
oportunidad de poner de nuestra parte para aliviar el sufrimiento y la injusticia. Vivimos con la esperanza de que al
llegar a la puerta del cielo, no nos encontremos con alguna
sorpresa. Esperamos encontrar un reino del cual ya hayamos
tenido un anticipo mientras estamos aquí en la tierra.

The Little Disciple Letter Update
Fall is here and we are already off to
a wonderful beginning of preschool
at The Little Disciple Learning Center.
Our Pre-K classrooms began their
journeys this year by getting to know
one another. During the month of
September the Pre-K 4 classroom began the school
year by learning about owls. As the month progressed
the students focused on learning about the season of
Fall while reinforcing number recognition and practicing their fine motor skills through the use of scissors.
The students in Pre-K began the school year by learning about animals and learning the first three letters of
the alphabet. This includes letter recognition, arts and
craft activities and new vocabulary based on the letter
that the students learned.
The month of October is a very busy month for the Pre
-K students. During the month of October the Pre-K 3
classroom will focus on themes such as Fall, Pumpkins/
Halloween and shapes while continuing to explores the
different letters of the alphabet. The Pre-K 4 classroom will work on the themes of fall and Halloween
while learning a letter of the alphabet a week.
This will be the first year in which The Little Disciple
learning Center will have its first ““Trunk or Treat””
event on October 31st,2012. We will have at least 15
parents volunteering in the activity by parking outside
the perimeters of the parking lot to hand out treats as
the preschoolers’’ parade around the parking lot. The
students will make their way to the cars in costumes
stating the phrase ““Trunk or Treat”” and will receive the
treats from the volunteers.
We hope that the year continues with a positive progression and that the students at The Little Disciple
Learning Center have a positive learning experience.

Carta del Centro de Aprendizaje
de los Pequeños Discipulos
El otoño ha llegado y hemos
tenido un muy buen empiezo de
pre kínder en el Centro de
Aprendizaje de los Pequeños
Discípulos . Los estudiantes de
pre kínder empezaron su jornada este año conociéndose uno al
otro . Durante el mes de septiembre el Salón de Pre kínder 4
empezó el año aprendiendo de los búhos en lo que progreso el mes los estudiantes se enfocaron en aprender sobre el
otoño mientras reforzaron el reconocimiento de números y
practicaron sus habilidades de motricidad a través del uso
de tijeras. Los estudiantes de pre kínder empezaron el año
escolar aprendiendo de animales y de las primeras letras del
alfabeto. Esto incluye el reconocimiento de las letras, las
artes, y las actividades artesanales, y el vocabulario nuevo
basado en las letras que los estudiantes aprendieron.
El mes de octubre es un mes muy ocupado para los estudiantes de pre kínder durante el mes de octubre el Salón 3
de pre kínder se centrara en temas tales como el otoño,
calabazas/día de los muertos y figuras mientras continúan
explorando las diferentes letras del alfabeto. El Salón de pre
kínder 4 trabajaran en temas del otoño y el día de los muertos mientras aprenden una nueva letra del alfabeto cada
semana.

Invest just five minutes a day,
and your faith will deepen and
grow——a day at a time.
SUNDAY, OCTOBER 14, 2012
TWENTY-EIGHTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME; VOCATION
AWARENESS SUNDAY
Start with scripture
Wondering what to do with your life? Follow the Acts of the Apostles. Struggling to get past a difficult time? Pick a psalm, any psalm. Unsure how to live
in gratitude? Read the Magnificat. Open a Bible and you unleash a world of
wisdom gathered from generations of wayfarers whose paths, both humble
and epic, led them to the same place: the waiting arms of God. The teachings
of the church are essential to understanding your faith, but scripture opens
you up to the mysteries and possibilities of that faith. So start with scripture
as you make your way through each day.
TODAY’’S READINGS: Wisdom 7:7-11; Hebrews 4:12-13; Mark 10:17-30
or 10:17-27 (143)
““The word of God is living and effective.””
MONDAY, OCTOBER 15
FEAST OF TERESA OF JESUS, VIRGIN, DOCTOR OF THE CHURCH
Who are you and to whom do you pray?
In The Book of My Life, Saint Teresa of Avila writes of seeking time to pray
even as a child——and turning often to the Rosary, a prayer dear to her
mother. Later as an adult and as a spiritual guide for her Carmelite sisters
and brothers, Teresa wrote about the importance of being present to God in
prayer: ““Before we begin reciting the Hours or the Rosary, [let us consider]
Whom we are going to address, and who we are that are addressing Him, so
that we may do so in the way we should?”” (The Way of Perfection). Teresa
calls you to be mindful in all of your spiritual practices that you are, in this
moment, in relationship with our God. Whom are you going to address?
TODAY’’S READINGS: Galatians 4:22-24, 26-27, 31-5:1; Luke 11:29-32
(467)
““For freedom Christ set us free.””
TUESDAY, OCTOBER 16
FEAST OF HEDWIG, RELIGIOUS
Follow in Saint Hedwig’’s footsteps
Born and then married into wealth and power in the 12th century, Saint Hedwig used her privileged position to found monasteries, convents, and hospitals for lepers in what is modern-day Poland. A voice for peace amidst political strife, Hedwig donated her fortune to the church. Legend has it that she
even went barefoot in the winter to express her solidarity with the poor, and
when the bishop objected that she needed shoes, she carried them in her
hands. You can keep your shoes on, but let your feet lead you down a similar
path of sharing your abundance with those who have less.
TODAY’’S READINGS: Galatians 5:1-6; Luke 11:37-41 (468)
““Give alms, and behold, everything will be clean for you.””
WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 17
FEAST OF IGNATIUS OF ANTIOCH, BISHOP, MARTYR
A good martyr-complex to have
““Don’’t be such a martyr!”” has become a cynical retort to someone
who seems to point to their own suffering in order to gain sympathy. When those words were addressed to Saint Ignatius of Antioch in the second century, however, they were a plea from
friends that the elderly bishop save himself from being torn to
pieces by wild beasts in Rome. On the way to execution, he wrote letters
asking his associates not to interfere: ““I bid all men know that of my own
free will I die for God. . . . Let me be given to the wild beasts, for through
them I can attain unto God. I am God’’s wheat, and I am ground by the wild
beasts that I may be found the pure bread of Christ.””
TODAY’’S READINGS: Galatians 5:18-25; Luke 11:42-46 (469)
““The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience.””
THURSDAY, OCTOBER 18
FEAST OF LUKE, EVANGELIST
The Bible tells us so
About every passage of scripture you can ask the following questions: Who
wrote it, when and where and for whom was it written, how did the authors
write it, and why? To do that requires reading a good annotated Bible like the
Catholic Study Bible and having a good commentary at hand like the New
Collegeville Bible Commentary or the New Jerome Biblical Commentary (both
from Liturgical Press). These works are not only for scholars; they’’re accessible to everyone interested in seriously reading scripture. With that background in mind, you can ask yourself what was it saying then and what is it
saying now? On a day celebrating the author of the Gospel of Luke, make a
commitment to read and hear the Bible with greater understanding——and
therefore with greater benefit to your faith.
TODAY’’S READINGS: 2 Timothy 4:10-17b; Luke 10:1-9 (661)
““Rejoice with me because I have found my lost sheep.””
FRIDAY, OCTOBER 19
FEAST OF JOHN DE BRÉBEUF AND ISAAC JOGUES, PRIESTS, MARTYRS, AND
COMPANIONS, MARTYRS
Don’’t get in the way of God’’s word
The Jesuits John de Brébeuf and Isaac Jogues, along with six priests and
laypeople, suffered greatly among Native Americans in Canada to whom they
had gone as missionaries. It’’s the way these saints lived, however, not their
horrible and untimely deaths, that continues to inspire us. Their approach to
life is summed up in the following excerpt from a letter by Isaac Jogues: ““My
confidence is placed in God who does not need your help for accomplishing
his designs. Our single endeavor should be to give ourselves to the work and
to be faithful to him, and not to spoil his work by our shortcomings.”” Take
some time today to reflect on this extraordinary quote.
TODAY’’S READINGS: Ephesians 1:11-14; Luke 12:1-7 (471)
““Even the hairs of your head have all been counted. Do not be
afraid.””
SATURDAY, OCTOBER 20
FEAST OF THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY
May your tears be turned into joy
This third Saturday of Rosary month the church reflects on five Sorrowful
Mysteries: Christ’’s Agony in the Garden, Scourging, Crowning with Thorns,
Carrying the Cross, and Death. How does grace assist you in the hour of fear?
When has unjust suffering served a higher purpose? Can you bear humiliation without disabling your love in bitterness? Where do you find courage to
bear the unavoidable burdens? When has a death-experience led you to new
life? Pray the five Sorrowful Mysteries remembering the needs of five people
you love.
TODAY’’S READINGS: Ephesians 1:15-23; Luke 12:8-12 (472)
““May the eyes of your hearts be enlightened, that you may know
what is the hope that belongs to his call.””
