O
ne day a construction supervisor from
6th floor of building was calling a
worker working on the ground floor.
Because of construction noise, the worker
on ground floor did not hear his supervisor
calling. Then, to draw the attention of worker,
the supervisor threw a 10 rupee note from up
which fell right around in front of the worker.
The worker picked up the 10 rupee note,
put it in his pocket & continued with his work.
Again to draw the attention of worker, the
supervisor now threw 500 rupee notes & the
worker did the same, picked 500 rupee notes,
put it in his pocket & started doing his job.
Now to draw attention of the worker, the
supervisor picked a small stone & threw on
worker. The stone hit exactly the workers
head. This time the worker looked up & the
supervisor communicated with the worker.
This story is same as of our life. Lord from
up wants to communicate with us, but we are
busy doing our worldly jobs. Then God gives
us small gifts & we just keep it without seeing
from where we got it.
Then God gives us amounts (gifts) & we
are the same. Just keep the gifts without seeing
from where it came & without thanking God.
We just say we are LUCKY.
Then when we are hit with a small stone,
which we call problems, then we look up &
we communicate with God.
So every time we get gifts, we should thank
God immediately, and not wait till we are hit
by a small stone, and then communicate with
God
28o domingo Ordinario
28th Sunday of the year
Reflection: One can be grateful to someone with four inner dispositions: The first disposition
is a sense of duty or obligation. The relationship between the two ends when the obligation
is fulfilled. The second disposition is selfishness. One continues to relate and to thank the
other as a provision for the favors needed in the future. The third disposition is love. Children
are grateful to their parents and student are grateful to their teachers out of love. The fourth
way is to be eternally grateful. One likes to remain indebted to the other for lifetime. Such
relationship of gratitude never ends with obligations fulfilled. It continues for ever. Namaan
and the Samaritan are ever grateful to God. With what disposition am I grateful to God?
28 domingo Ordinario
Reflexión: Uno puede ser agradecido con alguien con cuatro disposiciones interiores: la
primera disposición es el sentido del deber u obligación. La relación entre ambos termina
cuando se ha cumplido la obligación. La segunda disposición es egoísmo. Uno sigue
relacionando y dando las gracias a las otras personas como una provisión a los favores
necesarios en el futuro. La tercera disposición es amor. Los niños están agradecidos a sus
padres y los estudiantes están agradecidos a sus profesores por amor. La cuarta forma es
estar eternamente agradecidos. Le gusta permanecer en deuda con el otro para toda la vida.
Dicha relación de gratitud nunca termina con obligaciones cumplidas. Se continúa por
siempre. Naamán y el samaritano son siempre agradecidos a Dios. ¿Con qué disposición
estoy agradecido a Dios?

FAITH FORMATION/FORMACIÓN DE FE
Faith Formation began 9/22 and is in full swing
with over 400 children attending across our parishes.
To ensure we continue to have a successful year, I’d like to highlight a few of the policies/
procedures. A full copy of the policies/procedures is available in the DRE Office. Please be on
time to class. We have approximately 1 to 1.5 hours once a week with your children. Let’s partner
together for our children’s growth in our Catholic faith. 2 tardies = one absence. Attending mass is
a vital part of all faith formation classes. For sacramental preparation (reconciliation, communion,
confirmation), mass cards will be handed out in October. For Wednesday dismissal, please park
your car and wait for your son/daughter in the parish hall. As fall approaches, it will be dark at
8pm and we want to keep our kids safe. For Sunday dismissal, please do not occupy the hallways.
The children attending Spanish mass will be escorted to the church beginning at 12:45pm. The
remaining children will be in the classroom for parent pickup.

The Knights of Columbus/ Los Caballeros de Colon
The Knights of Columbus will hold an open house for the families in our parishes who are interested in
learning more about the Knights of Columbus. The meeting will be after masses in Bridgeport on Saturday,
Oct. 19th and Sunday, Oct. 20th and in Decatur after both English and Spanish masses on Sunday, Oct. 20th.
The Knights of Columbus was founded in 1882 in the state of Connecticut, by Father Michael McGivney. The
organization grew from a tiny group to a worldwide organization of more than 1.8 million members today.
In our parishes, our Knights of Columbus council participates in various activities both locally and nationally.
Nationally, we donate to worthy causes such as a wheelchair donation program and disaster assistance drives.
Locally, we fund scholarships for college students in our 3 parishes. We deliver corsages to mothers on
Mother’s Day at local nursing homes and help with our annual Fall Festival. Members of the Knights of
Columbus will be present to answer your questions about our council and its goals, interests and activities.
For more information, you can call our Deputy Grand Knight Victor Gonzalez at (940) 393-2082, Dan
August at (940) 389-6735 or Howard Biel at (940) 255-8317.

los Caballeros de Colón en la iglesia católica, el sábado 19 de Octubre en Bridgeport y el domingo 20
de Octubre en Decatur. Se servirán refrescos. Los Caballeros de Colón comenzaron en el año 1882 en
Connecticut, por un sacerdote llamado Michael McGivney, de aquel grupo pequeño, hoy esta organización

actividades comunitarias, como donar sillas de ruedas, flores para el día de las madres, a las mujeres que
