In the Company of Pope Francis
“Prayer is the rudder that guides Jesus’ course. Prayer is first of all an encounter with God. The problems
of everyday life, then, do not become obstacles, but appeals from God Himself to listen to and encounter
those who are in front of us. Secondly, Jesus teaches us that prayer is an art that must be practiced with
insistence. Thirdly, Jesus’ prayer is always solitary. Every person needs a space for him- or herself, to be
able to cultivate the inner life, where actions find meaning. Finally, prayer as taught by Jesus is the place
where we find that everything comes from God and returns to Him. Peace and joy is what we will find if we
follow Jesus’ example of prayer." -- Pope Francis
FROM YOUR PASTOR
Is your Prayer Life...Second Nature...or A Struggle?
Because Jesus is One With His Heavenly Father, He wants to be One With Us.
And perhaps we accomplish this through Our Prayer Life.
For some, FORMAL PRAYER becomes hypnotic and is ultimately discarded.
For some, CONVERSATIONAL PRAYER makes Jesus part of every moment of every day.
Jesus began every act of His Ministry with Prayer. Through Prayer, He proved that Nothing Is Impossible With God.
For You and Me, Prayer can move us through the Lived Experience of Daily Life...powered by Faith, driven by Trust, and encased in
Gratitude.
That PRAYER can be reduced to SEVEN important, if not challenging, WORDS...I Love You, I'm Sorry, Thank You...repeated
throughout the day...
How do we do this?
>When we wake up, we THANK Jesus for the day. We offer all of our joys, works, sufferings, and hopes of that day known only to
Him.
>Then, tell Him what you need to do that day...NOT THE OUTCOMES JUST THE TASKS...that's where FAITH comes in.
>As you go through the day, you live the list. BUT WITH EACH TASK, whether it requires your brain or your brawn, ASK JESUS
HOW TO DO IT ..that's TRUST IN HIS PREFERRED OUTCOME.. not yours.
>With each completed job or sub task, THANK HIM...for completing the Scoping Memo, Painting the Living Room, or Finding a Park-
ing Space. Jesus not only wants to be PART OF ALL YOU DO, He wants to THANK HIS HEAVENLY FATHER for the talents GOD
HAS GIVEN YOU to do each of these activities.
>At the end of the day, in your EXAMEN: Ask Jesus To Forgive You for the ways in which you hurt His Heavenly Father and Others
during that day; Review with Jesus all of the major events of the day; Thank Him For The Outcomes even if they are incomplete; Notice
The People And Events And Circumstances that HE USED to bring about those outcomes; and Ask Him for the GRACE TO ENDURE
HIS RESOLUTIONS of Your Issues...that's GRATITUDE.
>Tell Jesus what you know to be left Unfinished For Tomorrow, and Ask Jesus to Guide You in FAITH and TRUST.
>Then, go to Sleep!
Over time, this becomes the most CONSUMING WAY to grow in Relationship with Jesus Christ. He becomes part of Everything You
Do and Everything You Are. HE IS ANYWAY...SO, CONVERSATIONAL PRAYER WILL ALLOW YOU TO ACKNOWLEDGE
THIS REALITY!
THIS SPIRITUAL CONSCIOUSNESS AS PRAYER THROUGHOUT THE DAY REMINDS YOU THAT JESUS IS PASSING
THROUGH YOUR LIFE 24/7...You are NEVER alone...whether you acknowledge it or not!
REMEMBER, SLEEP-WALKING through the day or BENIGN ACCEPTANCE, with No Thank You, No Apology, No Unconditional
Love regardless of the outcome...IS NOT PRAYER!
The JOY AND PEACE OF CONVERSATIONAL PRAYER FULFILLS…even when the outcome is difficult.
Through this Lived Experience of Divine Intervention in Every Day Life, Prayer does become... SECOND NATURE...
+May God Bless You and Keep You+
-Very Reverend Ronald W Cattany

Thirty-Third Sunday of Ordinary Time
One of the interesting things about not having children of your own is that it frees you up to admire the parenting practices of all your
friends. And here’s the most touching part. Watching the lucky children of my friends now parenting their own kids is like watching a
home movie on fast forward. The next generation is getting all the love and warmth and ingenious parenting that they themselves re-
ceived. They are giving back all that they have received, and the yield is stunning.
My friend Zeenat grew up in the housing projects in Denver. She had a troubled home life, but the Catholic school system invested in
her and gave her everything she needed to succeed. She took those two coins and is now a spokeswoman for several charities who
serve at-risk children.
We’ve heard the inspiring stories of teenagers who sleep on the bus because they have no home. They show up at school, homework
done and ready to participate in theater and sports after school. And yes, a few of them have actually landed at Harvard. That’s the
one coin that got invested and made a fortune.
Think back on your own life. What investment was made in you? Did you have attentive parents? Conscientious teachers? A school
system that supported your talents?
By far the greatest number of coins given us is our baptism. Having been welcomed into the communion of saints, living and dead, we
are never alone a day of our lives. And, by building faith friendships---like this one, come to think of it---we participate in the build-
ing of the Kingdom of God. The perfect investment indeed.
What investment made in you as a child has borne abundant fruit?
