Which is worse: Ignorance or apathy? Who knows?
Who cares?
I’ve never invented a sin, but I’m trying to perfect
several.
Who are these kids and why are they calling me
Mom?
You are only truly in control of your life when you
accept that you are not.
You can do more with a kind word and a smile than
with just a kind word.
You can observe a lot just by watching.
You only live once, but if you do it right, once is
enough.
You can tune a piano, but you can’t tuna fish.
You don’t need a parachute to skydive. You only
need a parachute to skydive twice.
You don’t have to explain something you never said.
You don’t learn anything the second time a mule
kicks you.
You may have to fight a battle more than once to
win it.
You never achieve success unless you like what
you are doing.
You’re driving a car. It isn’t a telephone booth, a
beauty parlor or a restaurant.
You’re just jealous because the little voices only
talk to me.
You’re never too old to learn something stupid.
You’re only young once, but you can be immature
forever.
Your most unhappy customers are your greatest
source of learning.
Your true value depends entirely on what you arecompared with.
Siempre Adelante,
Fr. Mike

Catechetical Sunday,
September 14, 2014
The theme for 2014 Catechetical Sunday is
"Teaching about God's Gift of Forgiveness".
Even before anyone of us can consider seeking forgiveness in the Sacrament of Penance, we know God
is already at work in our hearts. God the Father pursues us down the byways of our life, intent to restore
and share with us in greater measure a life of grace
and union with him, which was secured at so great a
cost through the saving death of his Son. (Read “The
Hound of Heaven” by Francis Thompson.) The Spirit helps us to discern where sinfulness has wounded
and enslaved us, and creates in us, the penitents, a
readiness to embrace ongoing conversion of life
through sorrow for sins, sacramental confession
through the ministry of the priest, and a firm purpose
of amendment.

Bereavement Support Group
Bereavement—the loss of a significant
person—is a universal human experience. Grief
is a natural emotional response to bereavement
and is characterized by loneliness, sadness, fear,
guilt, even anger, and a sense of numbness and
confusion; grief reactions are highly individualistic and vary in intensity and duration.
All who are facing life changed forever by
the loss of a loved one through death or divorce
are welcomed to attend a six week bereavement
support group beginning September, 21 at
3:00pm in the Convent Chapel, (west of the
Rectory). Come and draw upon the mutual support and spiritual strength of others each Sunday afternoon as our group finds comfort and
learns coping techniques. If you wish to attend,
please call Nancy Himes (562) 928-2474.

Knights of Columbus
On behalf of the American Red Cross and the
Knights of Columbus, we wish to offer our heartfelt “Thank You” to the people of St. Cornelius
Parish for the donation of their time and blood during the blood drive held Sunday, August 17, 2014
Eagle Scout Project
My name is Jacob Lemmon. I am working on my
Eagle Scout Project, a meditation area for St. Cornelius
and a memorial for Karen Roffers. She was a great
woman that helped St. Cornelius and Boy Scouts. I met
her through her son, who was my classmate from Kindergarten through 8th grade. She died two years ago from
cancer.
The meditation area will be located next to the Convent and the school garden. It will remind people to be
thankful for the food God provides and the people He has
brought into our lives.
My project includes installing a Celtic Cross, fountain, lights, benches, plants and resurfacing the meditation area and outside classroom. The project will cost
$3,000. I’ve currently raised $1,250. I am asking for
your prayers and financial support, a tax deductable donation to meet my goals.
Please make checks out to Troop 205. Donations
can either be sent to St. Cornelius or mailed to 1524
Marshall Pl., LB CA, 90807.
Thank you for your support.
Jacob Lemmon
