REFLECTING THROUGH THE WEEK

Whoever for her sake keeps vigil shall quickly be free from care.
Wisdom 6:14

REFLECTION God offers us wisdom, but God does not force her upon us. She is found and recognized only by those who are alert to the things of God and who actively seek her out. Love of God and of neighbor is the lamp that must be burning bright. The oil of our baptismal anointing is the source and encouragement that will let the light of Christ burn brightly. As we prepare to receive the new translation of the Roman Missal, will our lamps be burning brightly, or will we experience an oil crisis? PRAYER God of the wise and the foolish, allow us to share our baptismal oil with all so that at dawn and at the midnight hour our lamps will be burning brightly with the warmth of Christ's redeeming embrace. Holy Wisdom, illumine our minds and spirits. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Michael R. Prendergast Sacred Liturgy Ministries, Portland, Oregon

FROM OUR PASTOR

All things come from you, and of your own have we given you.
(1 Chronicles 29: 14)

On this weekend nearest to the Feast of Saint Charles we award the Order of Saint Charles to a number of our parishioners - people who have been involved in the parish for a significant amount of time and who have been involved in more than one ministry. You would think that we would run out of such good people, but each year we realize that men and women who started in a small way have now begun to give themselves with a passion to the service of God. Their lives are examples of good stewardship, and almost always the Sunday Mass Gospels at this time of year are related to stewardship. They speak of the Lords second coming and the Day of Judgment, and they challenge us to think about how we have used the good gifts that God has given to each one of us. Stewardship is about much more than raising money. Its really a way of life, recognizing that God has given us everything we have so that we should thank Him by responding to his generosity. This attitude of gratitude becomes concrete when we return to God a portion of our time, talent and treasure. If you are reading this, the chances are that you already thank God by giving time each week to worship. That regular, faithful attendance at Sunday Mass is the foundation of our Christian lives. Recently I have also been encouraging people to be generous in sharing their talents. God gives us varied talents some of which we only discover later in life - and He wants us to use these abilities for our own good and the good of others, in imitation of his own generosity. When we had the Fall Festival three weeks ago many of you volunteered, and the event was a success because you cooperated with everybody else and didnt object if you found yourself with the unglamorous job of selling soda or picking up trash. But there is a difference between doing a job and becoming involved in ministry. Ministry is the conscious and intentional harnessing of our talents in the service of God and his Church. Its a deepening of our commitment to the parish, so that we are no longer just an outsider making use of the church facilities but an insider committed to the life and growth of the community. There are many opportunities. Many people start by getting involved in liturgical ministries such as choir, reader, Eucharistic minister, sacristan or usher. They are relatively easy because you minister within the Mass, when you would be in church anyway. However, choir membership also means a commitment to a weekly rehearsal and a job like sacristan requires a meticulous eye for detail - if you forget a crucial item, the Mass could grind to a halt! Pastoral ministries, like visiting the sick and teaching religious education, require a big heart and a dash of courage; even those who work at the Brothers Keeper food pantry and thrift shop need an extra measure of patience and kindness. In addition there are practical ministries like helping with office administration or art and environment - a lot of very special talent goes into making the church beautiful. I know that when you have a young family your stewardship is concentrated on caring for them and raising them in the faith; that, indeed, is your vocation. Yet we are blessed at Saint Charles with a number of young parents who have involved themselves in ministry, and I suspect that the generous use of their talents actually enriches their families. Similarly, you could argue that those who have just retired deserve to rest. Yet I have noticed that those who then begin to give themselves to ministry actually seem to take on more life. In giving they receive, and it seems to keep them young! Please think about what you could do. Please take that extra step in your Christian life. If you would like to discuss the possibilities, contact our Ministry Coordinator, Earlene Mohr, on 407-293-9556 extension 104 or at eamohr@cfl.rr.com. They are to do good, to be rich in good works, generous, and ready to share.
(1 Timothy 6: 18)

HOW DO I BECOME A CATHOLIC?

Are you interested in learning more

about the Catholic faith? Would you like to become a Catholic? Do you know someone who may be interested?
The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (R.C.I.A.) is a process of conversion and initiation in the Catholic Church as adults (anyone seven years of age or older) journey together in faith and share experiences while discerning Gods call. If interested in participating, please call the office. We will be happy to assist you on your journey.

OFFICE HOURS: Monday-Friday, 7:30 am-3:30 pm MARRIAGE PREPARATION: Please contact the Church Office to schedule a meeting with Father Augustine. You need to allow six months for the preparation process and it would help us if you obtain new baptismal certificates before the meeting. We can also help with the convalidation (blessing) of a civil marriage and sometimes with the annulment of a previous marriage, as long as the civil divorce is complete.

DO YOU HAVE A CHILD, SEVEN YEARS OF AGE OR OLDER, WHO HAS NOT YET BEEN BAPTIZED CATHOLIC?
Once a child reaches the age of reason (seven), the child is brought into the Church just as an adult isthrough the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults. Following this process of preparation which lasts about a year, the child is fully initiated into the Church at the Easter Vigil through the sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation and First Communion. In order to have a child baptized Catholic, at least one parent must be Catholic. If you are considering having your childage 7 or olderbecome Catholic, or if you have any questions, please contact Sister Marie at the parish office, 407.293.9556 ext. 121.

BAPTISM PREPARATION is offered to parents and

godparents and is required prior to scheduling a baptism. Please register for the class by calling Deacon Paul Volkerson at the Parish Office (407.293.9556 extension 110). Classes take place on Tuesday evenings at 7:00 pm.

November 6, 2011

Lord, Lord, open the door for us! But he said in reply, Amen, I say to you, I do not know you. Therefore, stay awake, for you know neither the day nor the hour. Matthew 25:11-13
My Sisters and Brothers in Christ: On this Thirty-Second Sunday of Ordinary Time, we hear the Gospel of St. Matthew, where Jesus admonishes us to stay awake, to follow God faithfully and not deter from the teaching of the Lord. It is appropriate then that we pay heed to the Gospel and are attentive to our sisters and brothers in Christ who are in need. We cannot be deterred by the distractions of daily living and overlook these people of God. This weekend, November 5-6, I ask that you respond generously to the second collection for Catholic Charities of Central Florida. Because of your generous support through the years, Catholic Charities of Central Florida has evolved as the number one second responder for those affected by natural disaster and the premier social service agency in Central Florida. While the annual Our Catholic Appeal and the most recent Alive in Christ campaign also supports Catholic Charities of Central Florida, this second collection is used exclusively for direct assistance to the needy. It helps the working poor with mortgage payments, utilities, rent, food and other requirements of maintaining a home and keeping families together during difficult times. In the central region, a physically disabled 45 year-old woman lost her mother, sister and brother in the same year and was left with expenses that depleted her monthly income. Your loving embrace carried her to manage her expenses and work a part-time job to supplement her income. In the northern region, a recently widowed father of three young children was referred to Catholic Charities for help with his utility bill. During this time, he was laid off from his paramedic profession. Payment of the utility bill was important because one of his children needed a breathing machine which required electricity. You delivered hope to this family. In the western region, you brought comfort to an older overwhelmed, disabled couple who received assistance for their rent and electricity bills. They now ask to become volunteers for Catholic Charities of Central Florida for being there when no one else would help us in our worst days. In the eastern region, a middle-aged man had broken his legs from a three-story fall. He was displaced without a permanent home. You gave the gift of healing offering a life of pride and self-sufficiency through appropriate medical care, a full-time job and an apartment which he can afford. In the southern region, a family of five moved to Central Florida for the fathers new job, only to find upon arrival that the position had been cut because of downsizing. Your kindness assisted the family with rent payments and referrals until the father found another position. Now, the mother is also working part-time and the familys situation is stabilized. There are countless stories of people in need who have seen the face of God through your wondrous generosity. Heed the Lords words to stay awake so that the Lord will know of your resplendent works and the door will be open to you as you have opened it for those who are unable. I thank you for your gift to Catholic Charities through the second collection the weekend of November 5-6.
