Sunday, September 28, 2014 – If tax collectors and prostitutes (symbols for great sinners) can enter the
kingdom of God, then there’s got to be great hope for all of us! Taking their lead, all we need to do is make
change a permanent part of our spiritual life. Spirituality is about growth that can only come from the
willingness to let go and change. Paschal mystery living always demands change. We can`t die to
ourselves just once and say, ‘That’s it…I’ve done my Christian duty. Now on to the rising!” Our dying is
continuous. It’s part of our everyday living. Learning God’s ways and changing may, indeed, be a slow
and practiced way of life for all of us. Dying to self might mean choosing to do what the other asks of us
the first time; it’s being faithful about taking time to pray every day; it’s forgiving even when it costs us a
little pride; it’s searching for God’s will by being attentive to the legitimate needs of others; etc. the
amazing thing is that in being faithful to these little things, change does happen. Faithfulness means our
yes is yes, our no is no.
Needs of the Church in Canada – September 28 – Each year the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops is
asked to speak out, give leadership, and provide guidelines on a wide variety of topics. In order for our Bishops to be
able to make sound judgments on modern topics, they must have the benefit of research and expert advice. Research
and gathering information require staff, time, and money. Through the yearly Bishops’ collection for the needs of the
Church in Canada, an appeal is made to all Catholics to be generous in supporting the work of their Bishops at the
Conference level. We are also asked to pray for the work of the Bishops and to participate in and cooperate with the
various projects of the CCCB.

Papal Prayer Intentions October 2014
Universal : Peace ~ That the Lord may grant peace to those parts of the world most battered by war and violence.
For Evangelization: World Mission Day ~ That World Mission Day may rekindle in every believer zeal for
carrying the Gospel into all the world.
World Mission Sunday – October 19, 2014 “To Sow is to Love: Grow in Love”
“A very large crowd gathered around him…And he taught them…”Mark 4, 1-20
World Mission Sunday is an annual event that is essential for the growth of the poorest
dioceses in Africa, Asia, Oceania, Eastern Europe and South America. It allows the
Universal Church to “renew her missionary commitment”. (RM,2) It is above all, the
occasion in which all Catholics redefine themselves within the essential project that Christ
entrusted to his disciples on Pentecost: “Go, then, to all peoples everywhere and make them
my disciples: baptize them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, and teach
them to obey everything I have commanded you. And I will be with you always, to the end of
the age.” (Mt. 28:19-20)
In order to proclaim the Gospel, we must “go out” like the sower and walk on the
world’s paths. It is the action of sowing that will open new paths to the Gospel; enliven
God’s gifts that we have within us and grant the one who “listens”, to become a witness and
disciple, missionary of the Word of God, without expecting anything in return except the
grace of love that gives life. In this way, God does his work. The World takes root and bears
fruit, “some had thirty grains, others sixty, and others one hundred”. It is a parable of hope
and life. It states the faith and hope in God’s love that acts in silence with the purpose of
growing new life. It is a parable that talks to the most vulnerable people of our world. How
do I listen to the Word of God, with which ears?
