DEPENDING ON GOD
"Getting by with a little help from our friends" is not an
idea that began with the Beatles. Certainly the idea of
"getting by with a little help from God" goes back at least
to the first reading today from Exodus. How we get that
help, however, is the key to this weekend's scriptures.
No matter how inadequate Moses felt to the task God
had given him, he persevered--even though he needed
help from the people around him. The Israelites especially depended on God for freedom. The woman in the Gospel, desperate and destitute, had no one to depend on,
but still she would not give up. She could not afford to
bribe the unscrupulous judge, but she pestered him into
weariness until finally he met her demands.
We sometimes need to turn to others to help us through
difficult times; but if we always turn to God, we won't be
disappointed, for our help, the psalm assures us, is from
the Lord.
TODAY’S READINGS
First Reading: As long as M oses' hands w ere k ept
uplifted, Joshua and his men had the better part of the
battle with Amalek (Exodus 17:8-13).
Psalm: Our help is from the Lord, w ho m ade heaven and earth (Psalm 121).
Second Reading: R em ain faithful; proclaim the
word; be persistent whether it is convenient or not (2
Timothy 3:14 -- 4:2).
Gospel: God w ill secure the rights of the chosen
who call out day and night (Luke 18:1-8).

FROM OUR PASTOR
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ:
Marcia Skelley is a new parishioner to us. She comes to us from Bloomfield Hills, Michigan where she had been a member of Saint Hugo of the Hills Catholic Church for over
twenty years. Marcia was kind enough to share with me a beautiful stewardship prayer
recited after each Mass there. She wrote in her letter to me that she found it so encouraging. I must admit that after I read it, I did too. I share the prayer with you below. It
reminds us that a parish is its people and that if we are amazing in what we bring to our
parish, then our parish will be amazing. Thank you so much, Marcia, for bringing the
best of your former parish to us and Welcome to Saint Ann!
Sincerely yours,
Father Michael
My parish is composed of people like me. I help make it what it is.
It will be friendly, if I am.
It will be holy, if I am.
Its pews will be filled, if I help fill them.
It will do great work, if I work.
It will be prayerful, if I pray.
It will make generous gifts to many causes if I am a generous giver.
It will bring others into worship, if I invite and bring them.
It will be a parish of loyalty and love, of fearlessness and faith, of compassion, charity and mercy,
if I, who make it what it is, am filled with these same things.
Therefore, with the help of God,
I now dedicate myself to the task of being all things that I want my parish to be.

Salesian Perspective
Rev. Michael S. Murray, OSFS
“Preaching the Word and perseverance in praying”
Salesian Perspective
Twenty Ninth Sunday in Ordinary Time
October 16, 2016
You and I are the Church because of our baptism.
As our Holy Father has reminded us, we have a baptismal responsibility to participate in the worldwide
missionary task of the Church. Half the people of the
world have yet to hear of Jesus’ message of salvation.
We have not been called to pack up and preach the
Word in foreign lands. But we can participate in the
missionary task.
We can pray daily for our brothers and sisters who
have chosen to minister the Word around the world.
Their task is often difficult; we can pray that they do
not lose heart as they minister. We can also offer them
financial assistance in their task. Many of the people
they serve earn less than a dollar a day. These are our
brothers and sisters in need - and we can help them.
The Scriptures today speak of perseverance - perseverance in the task of preaching the Word and perseverance in praying.
The image of Moses interceding for God’s people offers us some instruction about our community prayer.
As Moses became weak and weary, Aaron and Hur
held up his hands. Sometimes we come to community
prayer weak and weary. The voices of our sisters and
brothers help us to persevere in praying.
Listening to God’s word each day inspires us as we
continue our baptismal commission to live and preach
the Good News.
And what about our prayers of intercession? Do we
believe that God cares enough to listen to us? Do we
believe that God answers our prayers, even if it’s not
always the answer we’re expecting? Or do we tend to
lose heart after praying a few times?
Jesus’ question to his disciples in today’s Gospel is a
question put to us: When I return, will I find you faithful, persevering? Or will I find that you have abandoned your trust in my love?
How we choose to live each day is the only answer we
can give. May we pray each day for those who preach
the Gospel throughout the world. And may we persevere each day, trusting in God’s love for us, and not
losing heart.

Reflections on Scripture
Jack Conroy, Ph.D.
I. Sirach 35:12-14, 16-18
What must underlie "Ritual?"
This book was written about 132 BC,
and was a "traditionalist's" response
to the influence of the Greeks who
then ruled Judea and Jerusalem. For
him, "Wisdom" was not that offered
by the Greeks, but that offered by
living in joyful conformity with Torah,
the Law. The verses immediately
preceding these speak of the proper
attitude of those who offer sacrifice
in the Temple, in accordance with
Torah. The verses we read express
the confidence of the author that
God recognizes authenticity behind
prayer and the gifts of sacrifice. It is
a condemnation of ritualism made
empty by a formalistic attitude.
There is also a "variant" reading: For
"He who serves God willingly is
heard," some texts read: "He who
does a service (for his neighbor) is
heard." Good, sound "Christianity."
II. II Timothy, 4:6-8, 16-18
When are we "alone?"
We see a model of a saintly attitude
when facing death, and the common
Early Christian expectation of the
"Day" of the Lord, when He returns
in Glory. There is a deep sadness
when we see the obvious disappointment at the desertion of Paul by all
his friends when he was brought into
court; we also see his prayer that
this offence will be forgiven them.
For he was not alone; the Lord stood
by him, and ultimately delivered him.
Can we see the value of the model
that is offered? Those upon whom
we count will, at times, desert us,
will not act as we would have expected. We will be left alone to confront a major problem. But are we
"alone?" Paul did not think he was;
and he offered praise and glory to
the Lord who stood by his side.
III. Luke 18:9-14
With whom do we identify?
This famous parable occurs only in
Luke, where Jesus compares the actions of a person generally held in
high regard with those of a person
who was despised, a hated tax collector. The Pharisees were popular
and were recognized as attempting
to apply the Law of God to their
lives. Hence, the "inversion" that Jesus suggests must have surprised
everyone! But this theme, the humbling of the exalted and the exaltation of the humble, is a popular
theme, both for Luke and for Matthew. We recently read virtually the
same last sentence in the parable of
those attending a feast. We, of
course, want to identify with the
"good guys." But we must ask, "Who
is the "good guy?" Who are the
"Pharisees" of Catholicism today? If
Jesus walked into our Church during
a Liturgy, what would He see in our
hearts? Recognize that the Taxcollector achieved "justification," or
"the right relationship with God,"
which was precisely what the Pharisee was attempting to achieve. The
issue becomes, just how do we
achieve the "right relationship" with
God? Do we do so through formalism
or through an authentic selfunderstanding and a plea for God's
mercy, recognizing our own sins,
faults and shortcomings. We know
Jesus' answer to this! Can we incorporate this in our lives?
Society of Saint Vincent de Paul/ Saint Ann Conference October Food Drive
The Society of Saint Vincent de Paul will sponsor the October Saint Ann Food Drive for the needy during the weekend
of October 22/23, 2016. In previous years Saint Ann parishioners have contributed over 1,000 grocery bags full of nonperishable food for the Saint Vincent de Paul food pantry. This year our needs to assist those families who are facing
difficult economic conditions in our Naples and Collier County parishes are just as great.
On October 15/16, 2016 the Saint Ann Conference will be handing out empty reusable grocery bags and information
about the types of non-perishable foods that are needed for the food pantry. We will have volunteers and Saint Ann
students at each of the church doors after Mass to distribute bags to those who will use them for their food donations
the following weekend. Please return our reusable grocery bags for the next Food Drive in March 2017. Please bring all
your food donations to Saint Annʼs parking lot prior to all Masses on Saturday, October 22 or Sunday, October 23,
2016. Assistance will be provided by our volunteers and the Saint Ann School Minnie Vinnies, our Saint Vincent de Paul
youth group, who will carry your food bags to the collection point. We also will be collecting clean clothing.
Saint Vincent de Paul appreciates donations of cars and boats.
Thank you for your generosity.

Saint Ann’s Tabernacle Candle
Light of the world
In the month of October
the candle is lit in memory of
John and Doris McNally
“I am the Light of the world.” The candle burning outside the tabernacle is a sign of the real sacramental
presence of Jesus in our midst. It burns continuously
to remind us that we are always in God’s presence
and that he is always in ours as Light and Peace. Parishioners are invited to contribute to keeping this
reminder of God’s presence in our midst brightly burning as a memorial to a loved one for a month. The
name of those memorialized will be printed in the
weekly bulletin. The suggested donation is $55.00 for
a month. Please contact the parish office for more
information or to arrange for a monthly memorial.

Annual Kristallnacht Commemoration
The Catholic Jewish Dialogue of Collier County
The Catholic Jewish Dialogue of Collier County will hold its annual Kristallnacht Commemoration at 2:30p.m. on Sunday, November 13 at Temple Shalom, 4630 Pine Ridge Road, Naples. This event is held each year on the Sunday closest to the historical date of November 9, 1938 of Kristallnacht, when on that horrible night, the Nazi government prodded gangs of thugs to attack Jewish neighborhoods, businesses and synagogues across all of Germany. To put it in
context, think of the riots in Ferguson, Baltimore and Milwaukee multiplied by a few hundred, all going on at the same
time. Coincidentally, like the U.S. riots in response to a police shooting, the Kristallnacht riots were allegedly sparked by
the murder of a German diplomat in Paris by a distraught Jewish man. When it was over the government blamed the
Jews themselves and fined them for the damages. The program this year will feature music and a multimedia presentation of first-hand accounts of the Night of Broken Glass, "Shattered and Broken." All are welcome.
