“November is usually such a disagreeable month as if the year had suddenly found out she was growing old and could do nothing but weep and fret over it.”

Anne Shirley (Anne of Green Gables)

From the final hour of Eucharistic Devotions to the memory of loved ones who are written in The Book of the Names of the Dead to the uncertainty of the meaning of election results, November might seem to make us feel like we are straddling between some impending “end of things” and a promise that there has to be some hope in the horizon. Don’t panic...this can be a good place to be. Growing old, as Anne of Green Gables says, could be just what needs to happen...old in the sense that we realize that all life grows/changes and some things come to an end...and some things never end. November reminds me a lot of something the monks call momento mori (“remember you will die”). Now, don’t panic, it’s not meant to bring you down, but to raise you up. Remembering our mortality is a healthy way to keep in mind the only thing that is eternal... God. The author of one of my favorite blogs, The Catholic Gentleman, found five things that momento mori/remembering our death, will help us grow in: our use of time, holy fear, living with no regrets, choosing a legacy of love or pain, knowing sainthood. Life is a gift. Live for eternity. Love Jesus, love others, forgive and be forgiven, give sacrificially, be humble, pursue the supernatural life of sanctity. Anything less is a waste of time. Changes are around us, even within our Parish Pastoral Council (next week, I will offer a special thanks to those who served on our Parish Council/70th Anniversary Committee and are stepping down). Our newest members who will discern and help advise me and our pastoral staff are: Pam Crandall, George Frankovich, John Hardesty, Teresa Hodgkiss, Lisa McNeill, Meghan Schenz, LuAnn Thomas, Tom Vatalaro. Please pray for them and the sacrifice they are offering for the sake of our parish. Also, please remember to mark your calendars for our three-day Parish Mission (November 18, 19, 20) as I invite my friends, Fr. Emmanuel and Brother Kolbe, to draw us closer to the gift of Advent’s Emmanuel. Each night they will offer about an hour witness and give us a chance to know God’s Mercy and love through Reconciliation and The Mass. Momento Mori, Fr. Bline

REST IN PEACEPlease remember in your prayers the souls of

David Perez, father of Bishop Nelson Perez, also Mary Safar, wife of John Safar, andMildred Gambaccini, mother of parishioner John Gambaccini.

May perpetual light shine upon them.

Amen.

It certainly has been a whirlwind for me as I have entered into my ninth and last year of formation at St. Mary Seminary. I can’t believe all that has happened and how much I have changed over these last nine years in the seminary.

This year in formation, I have moved past most of the heavy theology and my classes are quite practical – helping to prepare me for Ordination. And I have to say that the load of work is certainly preparing me for the business of priestly life! I have classes in the Sacrament of Penance and Anointing, Bioethics, The English Reformation, Pastoral Counseling, Liturgical Preaching, Prophetic Literature, Pastoral Administration, and Marriage Preparation, all while balancing ministry at St. Raphael. Who knew how much it took to prepare for priesthood?!? Yet – and most importantly – this has been a year of graceful and prayerful preparation. My prayer life has deepened and become more real with each year. This year, I have really focused on Patience and Focus in my prayer. The Father has been teaching me to be patient with myself, especially with ordination around the corner, and to stay focused on Jesus, despite everything that tries to distract.

Deacon David Stavarz

ALL FUNDS WILL BENEFIT SFDS YOUTH GROUP.

LIFT UP YOUR HEARTThe Tenth Meditation – The Election and Choice the Soul Makes of a Devout LifeIn the ninth meditation we compared the anguish of Hell to the beauty of Heaven. Based on that comparison we were asked to choose between the two. There must be more to it than checking off the box titled “Heaven!” Of course, there is! In this final meditation, we look at the life that is directly associated with this choice, as St. Francis calls it “the Devout Life.” For a final time, we are called to use our imaginations. We now examine the lives behind the Final Judgement’s sheep and goats.

Meditation Highlights• Our reaction to social pressure will be the proof of our decision. (128)• This decision requires us to live day-to-day in practical pursuit of Heaven. (128)• Imagine God gives you insight into the heart of every person. You see two kingdoms, one to your left and one to your

right. (128)• To your left you see evil. The principle commonality is their commitment to sin. (129)• In pride they seek to distinguish themselves from each other.• Each longs for power and praise. (129)• You see the weak, the suffering, those with struggles being exploited. (131)• Your heart is rent, not with terror, but with urgent compassion. This sentiment draws you to the kingdom on the right. (130)• Here with Christ crucified as the center, many are helping others, holding up the disabled, or speaking patiently to the

elderly. Laughter reigns, and an air of peace lingers.• Many reach out to comfort and help. Where division rolled there, the unity here is charity. (131)• This choice must be renewed, refreshed, and reinvigorated daily. (132)• Refreshed by grace with trust and great confidence in God, you must now make the choice to set out on the pathway of

charity filled with ardent faith and joy filled hope. (133)

FOCUS: This is a daily commitment to growth through grace. How, in a little way, will I grow today?

Possible Tenth Meditation discussion questions• If this is a choice that I am to make each day then, what step can I take today?• Can you recall 10 key words, one for each meditation?• Can you associate a few thoughts from each of these meditations?• If I make a commitment to meditate on one of these during the day, what simple event or trigger can I use to do so?

GIFTS OF IRA AND STOCKSWill you have increased income as a result of the new tax changes? Perhaps you can consider increasing your offertory contribution to our parish. Changes in the tax law kept in place several popular and attractive charitable gifting options.

Also, if you are 70 ½ or older, you may be able to reduce your taxable income this year with a gift more directly from your IRA to St. Francis. Talk to your advisors and IRA administrator for more information and to be sure that a gift is made directly from an IRA to a qualified charity such as St. Francis de Sales. Questions? Contact our parish office at 330-644-2225. You are also welcome to contact Mary Lou Ozimek of the Catholic Community Foundation at 216-696-6525, ext. 4070 or mozimek@catholiccommunity.org.
