October 26th, 2014 30th Sunday of Ordinary Time St. Thomas More Catholic Church 10205 N FM 620, Ausn, TX 78726 MAIN: 512-258-1161 FAX: 512-258-8812 www.stmausn.org From Our Pastor Dear Brothers and Sisters, If you are to love your neighbor as yourself, consider some small random act of kindness and do this for another. Pay some poron toward the bill of the person in line behind you. Water your neighbor’s grass (probably while doing your own). In small delights, great changes are made to one’s frame of mind. Next, consider the quesons you ask. Are you seeking to silence a person or to affirm their opinion? In respecng the gi6s of the person in your presence, you allow the dignity God places in each person to be honored and therefore learn to love God more in the life created. Blessings upon all of you - Fr.

Liturgical & Sacramental Ministries Director: Deacon Steve Pent 512-258-1161, ext.225 deaconsteve1@stmaus'n.org Bap'sm for Children Teagan Stone Burch Giana Marie Maniccia Nicolas Anthony Maniccia Cohen Reid Marn Claire Linh Vu Blake Leon Wisdom All Saints Day A Mass will be celebrated on Saturday, November 1st at 10:00 a.m. Since this feast day falls on Saturday, it is NOT a Holy Day of Obligaon, but we invite everyone to aDend this morning Mass. Roses for All Souls Would you like to remember a loved one with a special rose to be displayed around the altar on All Souls Day? If so, feel free to pick up and fill out an envelope a6er Mass during the upcoming weeks. We will celebrate All Souls Day at all weekend Masses on November 1st & 2nd. Your loved one’s name will also be displayed on a banner in the narthex of the Church during the month of November. The suggested donaon is $5. All Souls Day commemorates all the dearly departed with readings that are from those in the Funeral Rite of the Catholic Church. They are beauful readings, and can be found on page 2. At the 9:00 and 10:45 a.m. Masses on November 2nd, the Music Ministry will be doing 2 selecons from RuDer's Requiem. First will be a prelude, Lux Aeterna, which translates to Eternal Light. It's from the funeral rite. At the end of Communion they will do a lovely seKng of Psalm 23, also from the Requiem, for Choir, Oboe and Piano. The rest of the music will be very familiar: “Be Not Afraid,” “Here I Am, Lord,” “I Am the Bread of Life” and “On Eagle's Wings.” The prelude will start about 8 minutes before Mass, so come early! Once again we will have Memorial Walls in the back of the church during November. You are welcome to add the names and/or photos (non-returnable) of deceased family and friends to our walls to be prayed for by our St. Thomas More faith family. Our parish has a two step process designed to help parents understand the sacrament of bapsm and to support them in their role of helping their child to fully live the gi6s received in bapsm.

Social Outreach Coordinator: Theresa Stephens 512-258-1161, ext. 256 tstephens@stmaus'n.org Catholic Social Teaching Corner 30th Sunday in Ordinary Time This Sunday, Jesus tells us of the greatest commandment. He urges us to follow the commandment to love our Lord, God, with all our Heart, soul, and mind and to love our neighbor as ourselves. This kind of love requires us to give of our whole selves holding nothing back in our relaonship with God. When God tells us in the first reading to not oppress an alien, He is direcng us to the kind of love for our neighbor that we should possess. Our concept of neighbor has grown from the person next door to a people globally next door. We are called to a global, social love. “Light is shed on the principle of solidarity by the primacy of love, the disnguishing mark of Christ’s disciples. Love of God and love of neighbor have become one: in the least of the brethren we find Jesus himself, and in Jesus we find God.” (#15) Are we holding back anything in our relaonship with God through our neighbor? Who is the neighbor we are called to love right now? Is it a homeless person, an immigrant, or someone who is shut-in and homebound? How will we show concrete love for them?
