Thirtieth Sunday in Ordinary Time
“…for whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and the one who humbles himself will be exalted.” (Luke 18:14)
Pride and ego is the root cause of most of our sins. Thinking your time is so valuable, your talent is better than anyone else and your money gives you status is another way of making those things “gods” before God. Remember all those gifts were God-given. Instead we should be humbled by God’s abundant generosity and our hearts should overflow with gratitude.

Are you curious when you hear Father Michael mention the Christian author Scott Hahn in his homilies, or do you want to know more about Bishop Robert Barron and his DVDs and books?
Cokas has a library!
The Father Philip Ryan Parish Library on the second floor of the Parish Life Center is well stocked with books and DVDs…and you can access the collection and explore what we have online. Simply go to the COKAS web site and under the “Questions” dropdown menu, go to “Online Library,” and then click on the URL.
The Ryan Parish Library is open on Sundays during PSR, but is always available for individual use by getting a key from the parish secretary during business hours (9:00-2:00.) Self check-out is available, and books can be returned to the box outside the Parish Office.
So feed your soul and satisfy your curiosity - visit the Ryan Library.

The focus of Life’s Corner both this weekend and next is on the
Death Penalty and Capital Punishment.
The dignity of human life must never be taken away, even in the case of someone who has done great evil.
Pope John Paul II, 1995
Did you know:
there are 29 death penalty states including Georgia
the south as a region accounts for 80% of total executions in the United States
it has been proven that the death penalty is not a deterrent to murder
The Catholic Mobilizing Network has been very active, over the past 10 years, in fighting capital punishment at both the State and Federal level. See http://catholicmobilizing.org
