The image is symbolic of our CIRCLE OF LOVE program.
By definition, a circle is a curved line with every point equal
distance from the point of the center and bound together by the
common interest. The seven point program of the CIRCLE OF
LOVE is bound together by the common interest- LOVE.
The small heart in the center is taken from the logo of the HEART
SPEAKS TO HEART program. By utilizing this portion of the logo
and part of the Heart Speaks to Heart program that is compatible
with the Circle of Love, a smooth transition occurs. The Cross
and Crown in the center of the heart is the national symbol of the
Order- the Catholic Daughters of the Americas.
The seven points selected indicate the needs of the Church and
community best served by the Catholic Daughters. The program
itemizes these needs in how Catholic Daughters
can effectively serve.

Ramblings/Ministry Schedule
Page 3
The ramblings may have jumped the shark (lost its former glory), as they say. It’s a rule of thumb in writing that when
your boss, in this case His Excellency, starts sending you material to spice up your column, it’s time to throw in the towel, ok
maybe not yet. The Bishop sent me some signs that have been seen recently; for instance, “TOILET OUT OF ORDER,
PLEASE USE FLOOR BELOW.” How about this one: “NEW STUDY OF OBESITY LOOKS FOR LARGER TEST
GROUP.” There is the newspaper headline: “KIDS MAKE NUTRITIOUS SNACKS.” Another: “COLD WAVE LINKED TO
TEMPERATURES.” My personal favorite: “WAR DIMS HOPE FOR PEACE.” I have often wondered if people ever read what
they write; at least some of it can make us smile.
This past week at the Veteran’s Administration hospital, while visiting some patients, I observed the little store of items
they sell to veterans and military members. It really is small with normal items but there are also some higher dollar goods as
laptops and global positioning systems (GPSs). The most surprising of which is a shelf dedicated to colognes and perfumes;
none of which cost under $40. Most of the fragrances run between 60 and 80 smackaroos. Since when is the VA engaged in
selling top dollar smell water? None of the clients of this hospital looked like they came there to shop in the first place, let alone
for those items. You know there has to be “a certain highly placed VA official” in Washington D.C. in charge of perfume and
cologne purchases for VA hospitals. Whoever he or she is, they’re doing a bang up job of keeping the Grand Island facility
stocked with high brow essences. Person who has never worked for the government: “Father, you made that up!” Person who
has worked for the government: “There’s a VA government office with twenty people that work in either the perfume or cologne
divisions.” Cynicism? You be the judge.
So what do we do about the government? Jesus’ response is still valid; give to Caesar what is Caesar’s, but to God
what is God’s. This simple statement should cause more concern for us than any government in the world; why? We are God’s
people; we need to give each of ourselves totally to God. That is a higher and more difficult task than paying taxes. Father
Rector

Military Names
Director of Religious Education
As in today's Gospel reading we are
reminded to "Then repay to Caesar what
belongs to Caesar and to God what belongs
to God." This means pray all the time
because all things are given from God and
God is in all things!
Last week all the classes learned and prayed the Rosary they
also learned/reviewed their prayers. Prayers sheets were also
sent home. It is important to continue to work with our children/
grandchildren at home not only saying their prayers but teaching
them to pray their prayers. We learn that the basic forms of
prayer are praise, petition, intercession, and thanksgiving.
We need to remind our children that not only do we seek Jesus
in a time of need and sorrow but we also include him in our times
of joy and happiness. These prayers can be incorporated into
meal times, bed time and times through out the day when we
give thanks to the glory of God and his goodness!
We pray for the following parishioners family and friends

Today the Holy Father invites all Catholics to contribute to a
special collection for Mission, his official charity for overseas
mission. Your prayers and donations today will support the work
of missionaries and young churches as they share faith, build
churches and provide healthcare and education, often in difficult
and dangerous circumstances overseas. The World Mission
Sunday collection will go in its entirety to support mission
projects worldwide that bring God’s love and message of dignity
for all. Please give what you can, and if possible, please use the
Gift Aid envelopes if you are a taxpayer. Every gift makes a real
difference to people living in poverty who are yearning to hear
the Good News of God’s love for them.

Who Are The Catholic Daughters?
The Catholic Daughters of the Americas is one of the oldest and
largest organizations of Catholic women in the Americas. Under
the patronage of the Blessed Mother, the Catholic Daughters of
the Americas are united by their faith in Jesus Christ, in their
devotion to the church and the Holy See.
They donate to charities, administer scholarship programs and
strive “to be helping hands where there is pain, poverty, sorrow
or sickness.” The CDA motto is “Unity and Charity.”The CDA
was formed over 100 years ago and today numbers 75,000 dues
-paying members in 1,250 courts (local chapters) in 45 states
across the country, and in Puerto Rico, Mexico, Guam, and the
Virgin Islands. Catholic Daughter women enjoy each other’s
company at meetings and work hard for their parishes and
communities.
The program includes concerns of today’s church and society as
well as issues that affect the well-being of women and
children. The Legislative Program encourages interested
members to learn about laws that may influence their faith and to
contact their state representatives to make their personal
positions.

News/Spiritual
Today Readings
First Reading — The LORD said to Cyrus, his anointed, “I am the
LORD, there is no other” (Isaiah 45:1, 4-6).
Second Reading — Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy to the church of
the Thessalonians: We thank God always for all of you (1
Thessalonians 1:1-5b).
Gospel — Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is
God’s (Matthew 22:15-21).
Thoughts: EVERYTHING BELONGS TO GOD
The first reading from the prophet Isaiah concerns the
Persian King Cyrus, called the Lord’s “anointed.” Cyrus deserves
this title because he ended the Babylonian captivity of the Jews.
However, Isaiah reminds us that it was God who gave Cyrus his
power. He may be a great king, but “I am the LORD and there is no
other,” says God (Isaiah 45:5).
Today’s Gospel is also concerned with worldly power. In the
passage from Matthew, the Pharisees try to trick Jesus into
speaking against the emperor. His famous answer is the perfect
reply. Like the kings of old, Caesar can be given the respect due
his position, but everything belongs to God.
In the second reading, Paul gives thanks for all who are
faithful to Jesus Christ and his gospel. He, too, reminds us that
our call and the power to be faithful come from God.

“God’s infinite love for each one of us helps us to grasp our
identity and our worth. The recognition of this dignity leads us to
respect and protect each person’s life…”

Directives: Planning for Your Future, USCCB Secretariat of
Pro-Life Activities
“When God created each of us, He did so with precision and
purpose, and He looks on each of us with love that cannot be

WORDS AND ACTIONS
When people hear us speak God’s word, they marvel at
its beauty and power; when they see what little impact it has on
our daily lives, they laugh and poke fun at what we say.
—Anonymous second-century Christian

St. Mary’s Cathedral Eucharistic Adoration Prayer Intentions
Vocations. That many people may hear the call of Christ and
follow Him in the priesthood and religious life.
Pro Life. That all people will come to value human life as God’s
precious gift to be accepted and loved rather
than a burden to be destroyed.
Holy Father’s Prayer October 2014
Peace: That the Lord may grant peace to those parts of the
world most battered by war and violence.
World Mission Day: That World Mission Day may rekindle in
every believer zeal for carrying the Gospel into all the world.
TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION
When the fathers of the Second Vatican Council met to
discuss the sacrament of penance, they were required to draw up
a new rite, including several forms. The hot button for debate was
so-called “general absolution,” by which a penitent could be
absolved of sin without confessing to a priest. This was a difficult
debate, compounded by widely varying traditions in both East and
West. Some were surprised to learn that the Holy See had
already given permission, during the First and Second World
Wars, for this form. In 1944 the Vatican issued a decree saying
this form was valid under extreme conditions, which bishops in
mission lands and Latin America took as a kind of “blanket
permission.”
Thus, the fathers of the Council were alarmed to find this
practice fairly widespread, not only in war, but in peaceful places
with huge numbers of faithful and few priests. Although they
eventually produced a ritual with three different forms, the forms
are not considered equal, and the enriched and revised individual
form is preferred. The enrichments include a welcome of the
penitent, a sign of the cross with an encouragement to trust in
God’s compassion, new texts rich in the Word of God, praise for
God’s mercy, and a dismissal. —Rev. James Field, Copyright ©

nosotros nos ayuda a comprender nuestra identidad y nuestro
valor. Reconocer esta dignidad nos lleva a respetar y proteger la

Del escritorio de la oficina de Educación Religiosa
Al igual que en la lectura del Evangelio de hoy nos recuerda que
" Luego devolver al César lo que es del César y a Dios lo que es
de Dios . " Esto significa orar todo el tiempo porque todas las
cosas se dan de Dios y Dios está en todas las cosas ! La semana
pasada todas las clases aprendieron y rezaron el Rosario
también aprendieron y repasaron sus oraciones. Hojas con las
oraciones también fueron enviados a casa . Es importante seguir
trabajando con nuestros hijos / nietos en el hogar no sólo
diciendo sus oraciones, sino enseñándoles a rezar sus
oraciones . Nos enteramos de que las formas básicas de la
oración son la alabanza, petición, intercesión , y acción de
gracias. Necesitamos recordar a nuestros hijos que no solo
buscamos a Jesús en momentos de necesidad y de dolor pero
también lo incluimos en nuestros momentos de alegría y
felicidad. Estas oraciones se pueden incorporar en las horas de
comida, la hora de dormir y los tiempos durante el día cuando le
damos gracias a la gloria de Dios y su bondad ! Dios los bendiga,

FORO ASUNTOS DE VIDA
Page 10
octubre de 2014
Eres una obra de arte
Anne McGuire
En este país los obispos de EE. UU. destinaron octubre como el Mes Respetemos la Vida, lanzando el Programa Respetemos la
Vida, que se celebra con misas especiales, liturgias, horas santas y otras iniciativas y Los obispos llaman a los católicos y a todas las
personas de buena voluntad de la nación a reflexionar sobre la santidad de la vida humana y a trabajar por su protección.
El lema de esta año es: "Cada uno de nosotros es una obra maestra de la creación de Dios", adaptado del Mensaje del Papa
Francisco para la Jornada por la Vida 2013. El volante del Programa Respetemos la Vida de este año explora la idea de que cada
uno de nosotros es una valiosa obra de arte hecha por las manos de Dios.
Imagínate deteniéndote ante un diseño de gran belleza. Tu alma se aquieta, se maravilla y asombra.
Si el arte, creado por el ser humano, puede evocar tal respuesta en nuestro interior, ¿cuánto más debemos maravillarnos,
llenarnos de reverencia y respeto ante cada persona que encontramos, hecha por el mismo Dios que dio existencia al
mundo?
Ahora piensa en un artista que se aleja de una gran obra de arte y admira su creación.
Cuando Dios creó a cada uno de nosotros, lo hizo con precisión y con un propósito, y mira a cada uno de nosotros con un
amor que no se puede superar en intensidad ni ternura.
Además, el Señor nos invita a contemplarnos a nosotros mismos y a contemplarnos mutuamente con la misma maravilla y
asombro.
No importa cómo el mundo nos considere o considere a los demás, tratemos a cada persona como la obra maestra que es.
"Incluso los más débiles y vulnerables, los enfermos, los ancianos, los no nacidos y los pobres, son obras maestras de la
creación de Dios, hechos a su imagen, destinados a vivir para siempre, y merecedores de la máxima reverencia y
respeto” (Mensaje para La Jornada por la Vida 2013).
Dios nos crea, a sus obras maestras, con increíble cuidado y atención. Nos conoce y nos ama profunda e íntimamente, y mira a
cada uno de nosotros con ternura, con los brazos abiertos para sostenernos, no solo en momentos de celebración sino en épocas de
sufrimiento.
Los artículos del Programa Respetemos la Vida de 2014 y 2015 exploran el tema del amor ilimitado de Dios por nosotros y el valor
de cada vida humana. En “Relato de una adopción de amor”, Jenny* escribe sobre el camino que ella y su esposo atravesaron en su
lucha contra la infertilidad y la adopción de su hijo, Andrew*. Los desafíos, las preocupaciones y los miedos fueron reales, pero
Jenny comparte: “Dios nos recordó [...] que Él siempre está en control y que podíamos confiar en Él”. “La sanación en el matrimonio
después de un aborto”, nos recuerda que la gracia transformadora de Dios tiene el poder de sanar las relaciones rotas por el pecado.
Y en “Consuelo y fortaleza ante la pena de un aborto espontáneo”, aprendemos algunas maneras prácticas en que nosotros mismos
podemos ser las manos y pies de Cristo para quienes sufren esta trágica pérdida
Estos y otros artículos, así como materiales como volantes, recursos litúrgicos y mini-pósters están disponibles para ser bajar de
Internet o hacer pedidos impresos ya en www.usccb.org/respectlife.
Dios creó cuidadosamente a cada uno de nosotros con dones, talentos y habilidades específicas para amar a los demás. Algunos
ejemplos de cómo el Papa Francisco lo ha hecho se ilustran en un video de un minuto en www.usccb.org/respectlife (Al posarse
sobre la imagen en la parte superior de la página digital, se verá el botón “Play” para iniciar la reproducción ¿Cómo podemos seguir
el ejemplo del Papa Francisco y dar a los demás el amor de Jesús en nuestra vida cotidiana?
