Jubilee Year of Mercy Saint of the Week

St. Anthony Mary Claret On October 24th the Church celebrates the Memorial

of St. Anthony Mary Claret. Anthony was born in

northern Spain in 1807. As a child he helped his father

in his trade as a weaver. The local priest taught him

Latin. He entered seminary in 1829 and was ordained a

priest in 1835. Health problems prevented him from

choosing the missionary life, but he founded a

congregation of preachers, the Missionary Sons of the

Immaculate Heart of Mary, commonly called the

Claretians. In 1849 he was made archbishop of

Santiago in Cuba, where he was opposed by the slave

owners and suffered numerous attempts on his life. He

returned to Spain and became the confessor of Queen

Isabella II, following her into exile after the revolution

of 1868. He died two years later in France. He was

canonized by Pope Pius XII in 1950. He is the patron

saint of textile merchants, weavers, and technical and

vocational educators.

Forming Consciences for Faithful Citizenship Catholics Care. Catholics Vote. Practice Civil Dialogue.

In their statement on Forming Consciences for Faithful Citizenship, the U.S. Catholic bishops remind Catholics

that we are called to engage in charitable, respectful and civil dialogue during election season. In a culture that is

dominated by "partisan attacks, sound bites and media hype," the Church calls for "a different kind of political

engagement" (no. 14). Visit the Faithful Citizenship link on our parish website www.corpuschristimaine.org to

access resources on civil dialogue and on how our faith calls us to engage during election season and beyond.

We strongly urge all parishioners to register, to become informed on key issues and to vote. The Church does not support or oppose any

candidate, but seeks to focus attention on the moral and human dimensions of issues. We do not authorize the distribution of partisan

political materials on parish property.

Readings for Sunday, October 23rd - The Reward of

Humility

Reading I Sirach 35:12-14, 16-18 (the God of justice)

Reading II 2 Timothy 4:6-8, 16-18 (reward for fidelity)

Gospel Luke 18:9-14 (the Pharisee and the tax collector)

Key Passage: All who exalt themselves will be

humbled, but all who humble themselves will be exalted.

(Luke 18:14)

Adult: When have you gloated over the mistakes of

others? How would humbling yourself make it different?

Youth: Think of a time(s) when you were a “show off”

or practiced being “one up” on someone. What is the

problem with this?

Main Parts of the Eucharistic Liturgy

The Eucharistic liturgy has four main parts:

The GATHERING RITE which ritually forms us into a worshipping assembly of believers.

The LITURGY OF THE WORD, also called the TABLE OF THE WORD to show its relative importance of

the liturgy of the Eucharist. We are fed at both, but in different ways.

The LITURGY OF THE EUCHARIST which begins with the preparation of the gifts and continues through

the communion rite.

The DISMISSAL RITE, which sends us forth to bring our experience of Christ to the world. Copyright © 2008 Resource Publications, Inc. All rights reserved

Sunday Evenings 6:00 - 8:00PM Faith Formation Center

Sunday, November 6 & 20

Sunday, December 11

Did you know that in the early church Confirmation

was part of Baptism? Yes, in the beginning only

adults were brought into the faith, and when they were

ready to be received into the church they were

Baptized (water over their head, and anointed with “oil

of catechumen” on their chest), Confirmed (anointed

on their head with Holy Chrism) and received

Communion all at the same time. Eventually most

adults were received, so they began to bring children

into the faith as well. When numbers grew so large that

the Bishop was unable to keep up, it was decided to

separate Baptism and Confirmation so that the priest

could continue to Baptize children as needed, and the

Bishop could still be a part of the initiation process by

Confirming all those who had been Baptized in a

ceremony once each year.

Today, our diocese has restored the original order of

Baptism, Confirmation and Eucharist, allowing our

seven year old children to become fully initiated into

the faith. However, this is only the beginning of their

learning. We continue to grow in the understanding of

our faith as we continue to hear God’s word at Sunday

Eucharist, learn more through Faith Formation

sessions and other opportunities, and live it each day.

CATHOLIC ANSWERS LIVE

Hostile Witnesses w/ Gary Michuta

Mon., 10/24, 6PM & Tues., 10/25, 6AM

Gary was born into a devote Catholic home.

In the late 1980’s, many of Gary’s friends fell prey

to anti-Catholic Fundamentalist Protestants and left

the Faith. For him, the Catholic Faith was something

to be believed, but it didn’t have anything to do with

“real life”. All that changed, when in 1989, Gary struck

up a friendship with an anti-Catholic Fundamentalist

and discovered that there is a rational, biblical, and

historical case for Catholicism that is both compelling

and exciting.
