Our prayers are requested for the eternal repose of
the souls of Charlotte Kincaid Phillips, 90, widow of
Edward B Phillips, and charter member of Sacred
Heart Cathedral Parish. Charlotte grew up in
Immaculate Conception, Knoxville (and was no
stranger to Holy Ghost either); and for Frances
Kincaid, long time member of Holy Ghost Parish
who died November 5. She was a long time member
of our Holy Ghost choir and helped with many,
many parish projects. May their souls and the souls
of all our beloved faithful departed through the
overwhelming mercy of God rest in peace. Amen

PRIESTS’ COLUMNS
D
ear Members of Holy Ghost Parish:
I wish to thank those of you who
returned a pledge card for parish
funding, 2013, during the past week. We
still have a long way to go before every card
has been returned. Please remember that
although you, even after much thought and
prayer about your moral obligation to support the church,
have been unable to arrive at some stated amount, we still
need your card returned for a number of reasons:
 We want to be sure that our parish census is correct.
 We want you to join us in obedience to our Bishop by
returning a card.
 We want to be sure of the prudent reliability of your
pledge and its reasonableness (it would be a bit unusual if
during the last ten years you have contributed less than one
dollar per week to have you pledge for 2013 an amount equal
to thousands of dollars. We hope that such a miracle of
generosity will happen here someday but it hasn’t happened
yet.
 We try to accommodate all who phone the Rectory for
spiritual services but as the number of deacons and priests
who have been mugged or robbed (some even murdered)
rises it surely does help to know that we are trying to
minister to people who are registered.
 Funeral plans are much easier to make when we are
dealing with people who cooperate with the system. Many
times families will come by the Rectory to bid the priests
farewell when they move from the parish. It would be so
much more helpful if such a visit would occur as people
move into the parish. Please remember that there are
hundreds of you and only two priests to try to serve you.
 Thank heavens that our offertory income is always
higher than what you pledge but not knowing how much
higher is cause for alarm. Our hope is that in 2013 your
giving will approach the $12,500 per week we need to
operate your parish. Half that amount simply will not do it.
Three-fourths of four-fifths of that amount will not do it.
While the annual Bishop’s Appeal seems to be doing quite
well, it is at home base - the parish (without which the
diocese can not function) that must be fiscally stable before
life with God can continue. Please revisit your stewardship
responsibilities and return your card by the end of 6PM Mass
next Sunday, November 18, 2012.
Devotedly yours in Christ,
Monsignor M-

M
y dear Parishioners,
Peace! The sacraments in general
are treated by the Catechism of the
Catholic Church in at least seven (7) passages.
The following is a reflection on articles 743
and 1831.
That the sacraments impart grace is but
another way to say that God sends “the Spirit
of His Son” into our very being (cf. Galatians 4:6). Each of the
sacraments impart grace. In the Sacrament of Baptism, however,
one of the particular graces includes “divine adoption,” how we
are made adopted sons and daughters in the one only Son. This
divine adoption makes us not only brothers and sisters to Christ
but also with all of those others who have received the same
Spirit of adoption.
While the outpouring of the Creator Spirit upon us in the
Sacrament of Confirmation is often rightly highlighted,
including the various “gifts of the Spirit,” one key sign of the
Spirit’s powerful presence is the ability to cry out both “Abba,
Father” and “Jesus is Lord” (cf. 1 Corinthians 12:3; Galatians
4:6). God has even more than this in store for us when
bestowing the gift of the Spirit.
The Spirit which descended upon the Lord Jesus, anointing
Him to preach the Gospel to the poor and to heal the contrite of
heart is the same Spirit given us in the sacraments (cf. Luke
4:18; John 20:22). The seven (7) gifts of the Spirit are
enumerated in Sacred Scripture by the Prophet Isaiah 11:2-3.
For his part, Saint Thomas Aquinas, OP, treats the gifts in the
Summa Theologiae I-II, Q., 68, A.1, 4-7.
The gift of Wisdom perfects our speculative reason and
directs both our intellect and our affections. Wisdom considers
the excellence of God. The gift of Understanding belongs to
reason and perfects our speculative reason. Understanding
penetrates the truths heard, refreshing the heart and enlightening
its darkness so as to enlighten our minds. The gift of Counsel
belongs to reason and perfects our practical reason. Counsel
concerns matters of difficulty. The gift of Fortitude perfects us
against fear of dangers and adversity which we face so often in
our lives on Earth. The gift of Knowledge perfects our practical
reason and allows us to instruct the ignorant in the ways of God.
By God’s gift of Knowledge we are able to overcome the void
of ignorance even in anticipation of the life to come. The gift of
Piety denotes both the reverence and the worship which we
render unto God our Father. Piety belongs to the appetite, that is,
our desires, satisfying the inmost heart with deeds of mercy in
this life and flowering in the fellowship of joy in the life to
come. The gift of the Fear of the Lord corresponds to the virtue
of temperance, helping us to refrain from evil pleasures in view
of God’s excellence (cf. Proverbs 15:27). Fear of the Lord
belongs to the appetite, that is, our desires.
How wonderful the blessings of God!
God bless you!
Father John Arthur Orr

The young men in Juvenile Detention and at Columbus Home often don't have the proper clothing for the cold
weather. If you have sweaters, hoodies, jackets, sweats that are no longer being used, please donate them. It's supposed to be a cold winter! Jeans are always needed at both places.

St. Luke Guild Membership Drive: Bishop Stika established the St. Luke Guild earlier this year as a forum to unite
Catholic health care professionals throughout the Diocese. With the sale of Mercy Health Partners (St. Mary’s), the Diocese is
left with only one Catholic medical institution, Memorial Health Care Systems in Chattanooga. Our challenge is to continue to
provide and even expand Catholic health care despite the loss of St. Mary’s Hospital. The St. Luke Guild is an integral element
to this mission by providing its members with education in Catholic health care principles, opportunities for charitable service to
the poor of the Diocese and spiritual enrichment to nourish themselves and their families. The St. Luke Guild is open to anyone
in health care: doctors, nurses, dentists, optometrists, therapists, etc. - those who are in active practice or retired, those involved
with direct patient care or administration. Please go to the website www.stlukeguild.org to register. Registered members will
receive periodic newsletters notifying them of events and meetings, service opportunities, educational seminars and retreats.
There is no membership fee. Please contact the new Director of Health Services, Sr. Mariana Koonce, RSM, MD if you have
any questions. She may be reached at (865) 584-3307 or at [email protected].

THIRTY-SECOND SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
“But she, from her poverty, has contributed all she had,
her whole livelihood.” Mark 12:38-44
Like the widow from Zarephath, who baked a cake for Elijah
with the small amount of flour and oil she had left for herself and
her son, the widow in the temple gave all that she had - her
whole livelihood, to God. Such generosity springs from great
faith in God’s love for us and sincere gratitude. It is important
that we regularly reflect on who we are and whose we are. At
our Baptism we are called “a child of God, for so indeed we
are.” Do we acknowledge and accept God as Father and
Creator? Are we grateful to God for all that He has given us? Is
our gratitude to God reflected in our generosity like the widow of
Zarepath and the widow in the temple? Jesus was not favorably
impressed by large sums contributed by the rich out of their
surplus wealth. How much of what we have is because of what
we want, not what we need? How much of what we claim to be
mine is actually surplus that we could share with others in need?
For families who have Eighth graders interested in
