But are you prepared? Catholics have an obligation to participate in the democratic process by voting with an informed conscience. Our consciences are formed through studying Scripture and the teachings of the Church, examination of the facts, and prayerful reflection. While there are many moral issues before us, every issue is not equal. As Catholic citizens, we should remember three things: 1. Respect for the dignity of each person is the core of Catholic social teaching. This is our most basic principle. 2. We focus on the common good, not our own personal interests. We ask, how can we make the world a better place? Not, how can I improve my own personal situation? 3. We have a responsibility, a true obligation, to form our consciences and participate in the civic life of this nation. For more information go online to cacatholic.org/elections Then click on Election Resources in the upper left-hand corner. Scroll down and click on Faithful Citizenship Resources and also 2020 General Election Propositions Analysis. Every vote is important. Never think that yours doesn t matter because it does. Catholics and all Christians and all religious faiths need to stand up for what we believe. There are those who would like to deny us our freedom of religion as well as some other freedoms we enjoy. Fr. Dick Morse, OSFS That All May Be One John 17:21 Que todos sean uno. Juan 17: 21

To find out more about, or to register for a Worldwide Marriage Encounter Weekend or Virtual experience in the Sacramento/Reno/Stockton Area, please visit: groups/ / The mission of Worldwide Marriage Encounter is to proclaim the value of Marriage and Holy Orders in the Church and in the world. Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not selfseeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 Respect Life Committee Corner Abortion kills an unborn, developing human life. It is always gravely evil, and so are the evasions employed to justify it. Catholics who make excuses for itwhether they are famous or not -fool only themselves and abuse the fidelity of those Catholics who do sincerely seek to follow the Gospel and live their Catholic faith. Archbishop Charles Chaput Mass by the Shrine at 7:00PM Monday September 21 Wednesday September 23. Friday September 25. (Masses could be canceled at the last minute depending on the weather & smoke). Thought for the week Holiness grows fast where there is kindness. I have never heard of kind souls going astray. The world is lost for want of sweetness and kindness. -Mother Teresa Collection for September 6th $14, September 13th, 2020 $10,335.73

Por favor, no dejes que nunca me separe de ti. Una Reflexion para esta Semana La Santidad crece rápidamente donde hay bondad. Nunca he oído hablar de almas bondadosas que se extravíen.

4 Mensaje del Padre Morse VOTACIÓN Esperamos que todos en nuestra parroquia que sean elegibles votarán en las próximas elecciones. Pero estás preparado? Los católicos tienen la obligación de participar en el proceso democrático votando con una conciencia informada. Nuestras conciencias se forman a través del estudio de las Escrituras y las enseñanzas de la Iglesia, el examen de los hechos y la reflexión en oración. Si bien hay muchos problemas morales ante nosotros, todos los problemas no son iguales. Como ciudadanos católicos, debemos recordar tres cosas: 1. El respeto por la dignidad de cada persona es el núcleo de la enseñanza social católica. Este es nuestro principio más básico. 2. Nos enfocamos en el bien común, no en nuestros propios intereses personales. Preguntamos, cómo podemos hacer del mundo un lugar mejor? No, cómo puedo mejorar mi propia situación personal? 3. Tenemos una responsabilidad, una verdadera obligación, de formar nuestra conciencia y participar en la vida cívica de esta nación. Para obtener más información, visite cacatholic.org/elections. Luego, haga clic en Election Resources en la esquina superior izquierda. Desplácese hacia abajo y haga clic en Recursos para la ciudadanía fiel y también Análisis de las propuestas de las elecciones generales de Cada voto es importante. Nunca pienses que el tuyo no importa porque sí. Los católicos y todos los cristianos y todas las creencias religiosas deben defender lo que creemos. Hay quienes quisieran negarnos nuestra libertad de religión, así como algunas otras libertades que disfrutamos.

Learning about our Catholic Faith LIFE-LONG LEARNING We are always learning new things but are we always learning more about our Catholic faith? To live our faith life as fully as possible, we need to continue growing in knowledge and understanding of what we as Catholics believe. Several of our parishioners use our parish subscription to FORMED to continue growing in their faith. Although I have spoken about this several times in the past, I thought it might be timely to mention it again. To register for FORMED, go to formed.org/signup, select your parish (St. Mary s, Oakdale, CA), register with you name and address, and then check your account for a link to begin using FORMED. You will find written, audio, and video materials on the sacraments, bible studies, faith formation, current topics, apologetics, etc. Now that we are homebound more than usual, I believe this is a good time to check out this website and to learn and enjoy some of the treasures of our faith found there. ADULT FAITH FORMATION IS RESUMING!! New sessions begin October 7, Orientation session is September 30 at 6:30pm in the parish center. Adult faith formation is for those baptized Catholics who desire to complete their sacraments of Holy Communion and/or Confirmation. It is also for those who are unbaptized and would like to inquire about the Catholic Church. Sessions meet every Wednesday evening 6:30-8:00pm.
