Peter & Paul in McHenry 10:30AM St. John’s in New Rockford 29th Sunday in Ordinary Time . . . "Repay to Caesar what belongs to Caesar and to God what belongs to God" is the classic response Jesus made to his accusers who tried to trap Him in speech in today's Gospel. The Word in Isaiah today helps us better understand how God is in charge of everything, and nothing happens without God's knowledge and concern. Cyrus was the king of Persia who helped liberate the Jewish people from exile and return them to their own dear homeland, even though he didn't know the God of Israel and Jesus. No matter what would happen to Jesus in this world, He knew his heavenly Father would deliver him from evil and raise Him up in the resurrection from the dead. All things belong to God! Do you and I live as though we REALLY believed this fundamental truth of our Christian Faith? Scripture Readings for next Sunday: Exodus 22:20-26; 1 Thessalonians 1:5-10; Matthew 22:34-40. Responsorial Psalm: “Give the Lord glory and honor.” Feasts this week: Monday: St. Paul of the Cross; Wednesday: St. John Paul II, the date of his Inauguration as the Pope; Thursday: St. John Capistrano, priest and missionary; Friday: St. Anthony Mary Claret, religious. BULLETIN COMPLIMENTS: “LOG CABIN LIQUORS” “HANSON’S BAR” 40 Days For Life and The Human Life Amendment . . . I'm sure you are aware of the contentious campaign going on about Measure #1 that will voted on in the November 4th Election. The Catholic Church in ND and Pro-Life people of the State are asking for a "Yes" vote on Measure # 1 to help protect the laws that are already in place to curtail abortion and uphold the dignity of every human person, from conception to natural death. Planned Parenthood forces from out of state are pouring thousands of dollars into advertising against the passage of Measure # 1; with false accusations and blatant lies. BE SURE TO VOTE "YES" on Measure # 1 in November or by absentee ballot. The 40 Days Devotionals for this current week are also available for your reading and reflection; carrying a variety of prayer services from various religious leaders throughout the Country. Again, if anyone wishes to make a donation to cover the cost of these pro-life efforts could leave it with the Parish Office which will be sent on to the respective offices. World Mission Appeal this October . . . World Mission Appeal Envelopes are attached to today's bulletin to remind you of this most important and essential collection taken up worldwide to help support the missionary activity of the Catholic Church. "I Will Build My Church" is the theme of this year's appeal, a favorite thought of Pope Francis as he leads the way to reaching out to many who don't know Christ or belong to His Church. This year's appeal focuses on the country of Mongolia, one of the more vibrant and young branches of the universal Church. You may also use the "envelope" in your offertory box of envelopes for this appeal. Please be very generous and try to give your gift within the next week or so. Thanks! Our Sympathies go out to the Lloyd Becker Family of Sacred Heart Carrington . . . Lloyd Becker, age 87, died on October 10, and left behind his wife, Joanne and family. Lloyd was very active as a K.C. member of Sacred Heart and assisted Fr. Haas in building the artifact cabinet for the St. Joseph Parish of Bremen. Joanne Becker has served as the Director of the Religious Education and Youth Ministry for Sacred Heart for many years. Looking for Hope in a Confused World? . . .
