30th Sunday in Ordinary Time
“And Jesus said to him, ‘Go your way; your faith has made you well.’ And immediately he received his sight and followed him on the way.” (Mark 10:52)
Faith is believing in something even though you may not be able to physically see it. Many people think that miracles don’t happen anymore. This is hard, but try to focus on the positive and not the negative things in your life. When you focus on your blessings instead of your hardships, miracles will seem common. You will see God’s active presence in your daily life. You will begin to develop an attitude of gratitude.

October is Respect Life Month and the headlines read:
1. The ‘Equality Act’ has been passed by the House on 2/25/2021. This legislation is aimed at denying the fundamental differences between men and women.
2. The ‘Women’s Health Protection Act’ has also been passed by the House. This legislation would allow for unlimited taxpayer funded abortion nationwide.
3. A Federal Judge, at the request of the Biden administrations’ Justice Department, has blocked the enforcement of Texas recently passed pro- life law restricting abortion once a child’s heart beat can be detected. Coincidently, abortion rights activists in the State claim: Planned Parenthood said the number of patients decreased by nearly 80% in the first two weeks after the legislation took effect.
The picture is not pretty. Many of us (270) signed the letter to the Pope last weekend encouraging him to take Biden to task regarding his stance on abortion. This is great. What else can we do? Simple, we need to pray. We need to pray to St. Joseph as our model for 2021 Respect Life Month.

The World Needs More Knights!
Founded on the principles of Charity, Unity and Fraternity, the Knights of Columbus was established in 1882 by Blessed Father Michael J. McGivney. Today there are 1.9 million Knights worldwide, and we are looking for a few more to join the 190 Brothers in our Council 13808 here at COKAS.
To that end, we will be hosting an Exemplification of Full Knighthood on Wednesday December 1st at 7PM in the Sanctuary. This is an opportunity for men of our parish to join our ranks and for existing Brothers to become Full Knights. For more information on this Ceremony and becoming a Knight please contact our Membership Director, Rich Bartolotta, at 203 517 8915 or rich.bartolotta1@gmail.com

Saints Simon and Jude
Feast day: October 28
St. Jude Thaddeus: patron of lost causes, desperate situations, hospital
St. Jude Thaddeus was the brother of St. James the Less and a cousin of Our Lord. Jude is usually pictured with a picture of Our Lord because he cured the King of Edessa from leprosy in the name of Jesus, a club because he was martyred by being beaten to death with a club and a flame of fire because he was present at Pentecost. He is very popular as the patron of impossible cases.
Saint Simon the Apostle: patron of tanners, saw men, woodcutters, curriers (leather specialist)
Saint Simon was one of the twelve Apostles surnamed the Zealot. He was zealous for the honor of Christ and exact in all the duties of the Christian life. He showed a pious indignation towards those who profess the faith with their mouths but not their lives. He preached the Gospel in Egypt and Persia joining St. Jude (Thaddaeus) along the way. The saw is his attribute because he was believed martyred by being cut in half.

Pope Francis’ Prayer to Saint Joseph
Hail, Guardian of the Redeemer,
Spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary. To you God entrusted his only Son; in you Mary placed her trust; with you Christ became man.
Blessed Joseph, to us too,
show yourself a father
and guide us in the path of life.
Obtain for us grace, mercy and courage,
and defend us from every evil. Amen.
