Dear St. Matthew Parishioners, Families and Friends,

Month of the Rosary

Let us remember that this month of October is dedicated to the Rosary. Consider taking some time out of our busy lives to pray the Rosary, as a family or meditating alone. This would be an ideal opportunity to introduce the rosary to young children. Start out with using the beads. Children need to touch, count and know what the different beads mean. At the end of this time the child would have acquired a loving and respectful familiarity with the beads. Sometime along this apprenticeship you should introduce the real meaning of the rosary by telling your children the story of our salvation as expressed in the fifteen mysteries, as a simple story. John Paul II called the Rosary his favorite prayer. He offered mass in Fatima on May 13th, 1982, to give thanks for Mary’s intercession in saving his life a year earlier. He reminded the faithful that the message of Fatima is a call to conversion and repentance, the nucleus of the message of the Gospel. He re-consecrated the world to Mary’s Immaculate Heart and called all to prayer, especially the Rosary. (Continued on page 2)

Dear St. Matthew Parishioners, Families and Friends, (cont’d)

Let us consider this beautiful prayer of the Rosary as a means that we too can use in order to draw closer to Jesus and Mary by meditating on the great mysteries of our salvation. Blessings, Ann Connelly

Dear Mother, I bring Thee roses Because they are so sweet,

But lilies, my favorite flowers I am placing at Thy feet.

Accept with each Hail Mary

A rose for Thy crown so bright; Please don't forget the lilies, The lilies so pure and white.

Let them be a bond of love

And understanding rare, And send a blessing from above

In answer to my prayer.

Loneliness would be unknown If more people came to Thee, With their trials and sorrows

And said their Rosary.

With each Hail Mary, they would find Their load much lighter grow, And in humility, kiss the cross In peace, would onward go.

Queridos Parroquianos , Recordemos que el mes de octubre está dedicado al Rosario . Considere la posibilidad de hacer un poco de tiempo para rezar el Rosario en familia o meditar a solas. Esta es una oportunidad ideal para dar a conocer el rosario a los niños pequeños. Comience con el uso de las cuentas. Los niños tienen que tocar , contar y saber lo que significan los diferentes misterios y así un día, el niño adquiri-rá una familiaridad amorosa y respetuosa con las perlas. En algún momento a lo largo de este aprendizaje se debe intro-ducir el verdadero significado del rosario diciendo a sus hijos la historia de nuestra salvación, como se expresa en los quin-ce misterios, como una historia simple. Juan Pablo II llamó al Rosario su oración favorita. Ofreció una misa en Fátima el 13 de mayo de 1982 para dar gracias a Dios por la intercesión de María por haber salvado su vida un año antes. Recordó a los fieles que el men-saje de Fátima es una llamada a la conversión y al arrepenti-miento, el núcleo del mensaje del Evangelio. Re consagró el mundo al Corazón Inmaculado de María y llamó a todos a la oración, especialmente el Rosario . Vamos a considerar esta hermosa oración del Rosario , como un medio que nosotros también podemos utilizar con el fin de acercarnos más a Jesús y María meditando en los grandes misterios de nuestra salvación. Bendiciones, Ann Connelly

Oración del Papa Francisco a Nuestra Señora del Santo Rosario

«Virgen del Santo Rosario, Madre del Redentor, mujer de nuestra tierra encumbrada por encima de los cielos, humilde

sierva del Señor, proclamada Reina del mundo, desde lo profundo de nuestras miserias recurrimos a ti. Con confianza

de hijos miramos tu rostro dulcísimo. Coronada con doce estrellas, tú nos llevas al misterio del Pa-dre, tú resplandeces de Espíritu Santo, tú nos donas a tu Niño divino, Jesús, nuestra esperanza, única salvación del mundo.

Brindándonos tu Rosario, tú nos invitas a contemplar su Rostro. Tú nos abres su corazón, abismo de alegría y de dolor, de luz y de gloria, misterio del Hijo de Dios, hecho hombre por no-sotros. A tus pies sobre las huellas de los santos, nos sentimos

familia de Dios. Madre y modelo de la Iglesia, tú eres guía y sostén seguro.

Haz que seamos un corazón solo y un alma sola, pueblo fuer-te en camino hacia la patria del cielo.

Te entregamos nuestras miserias, los tantos caminos del odio y de la sangre, las mil antiguas y nuevas pobrezas y sobre

todo nuestro pecado. A ti nos encomendamos, Madre de mi-sericordia: obtennos el perdón de Dios, ayúdanos a construir

un mundo según tu corazón. Oh Rosario bendito de María, cadena dulce que nos anuda a Dios, cadena de amor que nos hace hermanos, no te dejare-mos jamás. En nuestras manos serás arma de paz y de per-

dón, estrella de nuestro camino. Y nuestro beso a ti, en nuestro último respiro, nos sumergirá

en una ola de luz, en la visión de la Madre amada y del Hijo divino, anhelo de alegría de nuestro corazón con el Padre y

el Espíritu Santo».

Dear Parishioners, Next week-end, October 7/8 there will be a second collection for The Gabriel Project which is a ministry sponsored by the Archdiocese of San Francisco to help mothers who are facing an unplanned or difficult

pregnancy. Our parish has been involved with this ministry since 2009. Besides friendship and emotional support, The Gabriel Project provides pastoral care and counseling as well as the help needed in accessing prenatal care, transportation, housing and baby items etc. We serve all women and their families regardless of their faith background. Your generous donations last year enabled us to provide strollers, car seats, bassinets, cribs, bedding, baby clothes, diapers, formula and financial assistance to mothers in great need. Please help us to continue this important work by supporting The Gabriel Project with your financial contributions this year. If God has blessed you, please share. We are very grateful to Msgr Talesfore for allowing this second collection God bless you. Janet Healy, Coordinator

Nuestra parroquia ha estado involucrada con este ministerio desde 2009. Además de la amistad y el apoyo emocional, el Proyecto Gabriel brinda atención y consejería pastoral, así como la ayuda necesaria para acceder al cuidado prenatal, transporte, vivienda y artículos para el bebe, etc. Sus donaciones generosas el año pasado nos permitieron proporcionar carriolas, asientos para el automóvil, cunas, ropa para bebés, pañales, fórmula y ayuda financiera para madres en gran necesidad.
