If you missed a few classes, you can still attend this week! Changes in the mass… again? WE BOW DURING THE CREED As we proclaim the words of the Creed “by the power of the Holy Spirit, he was born of the Virgin Mary and became man” we will all bow, expressing our profound gratitude and awe for Christ becoming a human being. The importance of this statement calls in us a response that needs to be embodied. As St. Paul wrote to the Philippians, “at the name of Jesus every knee must bend,” thus, as we contemplate the Incarnation, we now humbly bow as we pray these powerful words. INVITATION TO THE "PRAYER OVER THE GIFTS" During the preparation of the altar and the gifts, at what we used to be called the offertory, the priest says: "Pray my dear friends that our sacrifice may be acceptable to God, the almighty Father.” When he completes this invitation to prayer, we will now stand as a community and then respond to what he said with our response: “May the Lord accept the sacrifice at your hands for the praise and glory of his name, for our good, and the good of all his Church.” This standing is a sign that we have accepted the priest's invitation to pray, and then, as we all stand, make our communal response. WE NOW BOW BEFORE RECEIVING HOLY COMMUNION. As we come forward toward the altar, we remain standing, and as we approach the minister of Communion we bow our head, respond “Amen,” and receive either in the hand or on the tongue. If we receive the Precious Blood, the same reverence, the bow of the head, is done before receiving. We do not genuflect. Page Five ST.

Taking Control Newsletter Feature: Do you have what it takes to start your own business? By Bob Vezzuso D espite the difficulties, thousands of people start businesses every year. Learn what factors contribute to a successful business. Take the Self-Employment test and find out if you are cut out to start your own business. Discover what business you should start. Get the tips you will need to start your business and keep it running. • • • The lecture is designed to show you how you can follow your dreams and exploit your talents. When you work for yourself, you control your destiny and make as much money as you desire, well past that next paycheck, and on into retirement. When you attend, you will receive information about taking control of your life and building a better life for your family. W ho is Bob Vezzuso? Bob Vezzuso is just like you, except he has done something to protect his family and his future. He started his own business and stopped relying on that week-to-week paycheck. Bob has acquired much knowledge in the area of starting a business and wants to share it with people who are willing to step up and take a chance. Bob holds lectures showing, anyone willing to take the chance, how to take control of their own destiny and get away from everyone who is now controlling it. (Or at least learn to ignore them. ☺) He will show you how to get out of the rut and invest in yourself. Hope to see you there! Information about the "Taking Control of Your Life" lecture: Cost: $20.00 What else you will be required to purchase: Absolutely NOTHING! No products to buy, No sales pitches, No companies to invest in. I'm not selling any books or products, and I'm not looking for partners. How: Call to Reserve Your Seat Seating is limited.

What you do with it afterwards is up to you. These words might remind you of your second grade teacher Sr. Mary Joseph, but did you know that she was really teaching you a wonderful lesson? We as Catholics have honored saints in our memories, hearts, and in prayer. Their lives are constant reminders that we can attain goodness, courage, and faith in our persistence to imitate the life of Jesus. November 1st is the Feast of All Saints, when we as a church recognize the important role a saint has in our life. Perhaps we are devoted to the saint that bears our name or to the saint from our home town. Intercessory prayer is an important part of Christian belief and our devotion to a saint indicates that we have formed an intimate friendship with that saint who, perhaps, provides guidance and solace. WE INVITE YOU TO LIGHT A CANDLE THAT REMAINS LIT FOR AN ENTIRE YEAR at the Shrine of the Saint who shares a special place in your heart, here at St. Athanasius Church.
