| St. Michael the
Archangel-
defend us in battle. Be our safeguard against the wickedness and snares
of the devil. May God rebuke him, we
humbly pray; and do Thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host - by the Power
of God - cast into hell, Satan and all the evil spirits, who roam the
world seeking the ruin of souls.
Lord Jesus Christ, Son of the Father-
send your Holy Spirit to guide our nation. May your Holy Spirit
dwell in the hearts and minds of your faithful and all who serve as
leaders. Keep us faithful to your law, protect us in our trials, lead us
to walk in your word and your love.
Through the Virgin Mary, conceived without sin,
may we be spared of all destruction and harm from without and within. .
. .
Mary, Queen of Nations-
Deliver us.
O, Sacred Heart of Jesus –
Have Mercy on Us.
O, Immaculate Heart of Mary –
Pray for Us.
O, Sacred Heart of Jesus –
Have Mercy on Us. |

EMBRACING YOUR CROSS
We often speak of the "crosses" we must carry in life. These can
range from loss of a job to a serious or terminal illness to unhealthy
relationships, and so on. The cross has become the wide-ranging metaphor
for the trials, ills, and discomforts that are part and parcel of every
human life. While we all understand this use of the word "cross," it
does a disservice to what the Jesus of the Gospels means by it. For him,
a "cross" is not something that fate, bad luck, or unfortunate
circumstances foists upon one. It is, instead, something one chooses,
something one embraces.
For Jesus, carrying the cross in discipleship was the rejection of
earthly possessions or status, it was the sundering of bonds of kinship
or friendship. It was, above all, the necessary kind of
self-sacrificing, self-surrendering choice one had to make in order to
be a true disciple. When life hands us a "cross," we pray to the Lord to
give us strength to bear it. If we are to be true disciples, we must
also pray for the strength to reach out and willingly accept a cross as
well. To bear up, with God’s grace, under the burdens that are not of
our own choosing does take a strong faith. But to walk willingly under
the weight of the cost of discipleship shows an even stronger desire to
spread the gospel of Jesus Christ.

THE
MARK OF THE MAKER
If things created are so
full of loveliness, how resplendent must be the One who made
them! The wisdom of the Worker is apparent in such handiwork.
—St. Anthony of Padua |

virus has been lifted, we have discontinued distribution of the Precious
Blood during Communion. Note: This does not prevent you
from receiving the Sacrament; –"The Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of
Christ."
You do
not "miss out" by not receiving the 2nd species.

Stop Listening to "THEM" ~ Start
Talking to US!
Fact and Fiction About Annulments
Rumor- "It takes years to get an annulment through the
Catholic Church."
Total Fiction! The length of time it takes to complete the
annulment process is almost completely dependent on you. Yes,
it does take a little time to collect the necessary documents: your
Baptism Record, your marriage license & *marriage certificate (*if
married in the Catholic Church, your divorce decree, & a few other
documents, most of which you should have available in your records
at home anyway. We do need certified originals of each document,
however, it is not difficult to secure those items.
Rumor- "It is very expensive to get an Annulment; it’s just a
money-making scheme."
Total Fiction! In the Diocese of Baton Rouge, a fixed cost
of $950 is assessed to each completed Tribunal case. You are asked
to pay only one-half of that cost - $475.00 &
only if you can afford to pay, &.....you can pay it in
installments! Those who have financial challenges complete a
one-page hardship form when submitting the documents & it’s done!
Rumor- "You don’t have to get an annulment to receive
Communion; some priests say it’s ok."
Total Fiction! The rules of the Catholic Church are not
subject to modification by any priest. If you
have not re-married, & have fully reconciled yourself, regarding any
sins, through the Sacrament of Reconciliation, you may receive Holy
Communion. If, however, you have
re-married outside of the church, your first marriage is considered
still valid, therefore, you are not in a state of grace & you should
not receive Communion.
Rumor- "It’s just not worth the trouble & pain."
Total Fiction! If you did re-marry & are not able to
receive the Sacrament of the Eucharist, you are missing out on one
of the fundamental gifts of Jesus Christ when He started our church.
Why not take a small amount of time to do what is needed to return
to the graces of the Church & to again receive the Precious Body &
Blood of Christ? In addition, completing the annulment process
provides an outlet to, once & for all, purge yourself of all the
pain & sorrow associated with that past life.
Rumor-"Your ‘ex’ has to be involved & can start all sorts of
trouble."
Total Fiction! For legal purposes, we are required to
notify a former spouse that a petition for annulment has been filed
but that’s it! He or she does not get involved, with the
exception that, in very rare cases a former spouse may want to
contest your petition. No one sees your file!
Rumor- "It’ll make my children illegitimate."
Total Fiction!!!! Children–the innocent–are not ever
affected by the annulment process!
Call Ric at the Parish Office at 654-5778 to discuss what you can
do to return to a state of grace with Our Lord.
DO YOU THINK YOU ARE BEING
CALLED TO BE AN ALTAR SERVER?
Young people, 4th grade and higher, who
believe you are being called by Our Lord to be an Altar Server
should discuss the matter with your parents, then contact the parish
office to arrange a meeting with Father Bayhi. Altar Service is a
very special way of serving Our Lord.
SANCTUARY LIGHT
-SEPTEMBER 4/10
The Sanctuary Light at
St. John will burn in
memory of Tyler, Betty
and Gene Craig.
The Sanctuary Light at
Our Lady will burn in
memory of George Charlet
Jr. and Jackson Attuso.
LEGION OF MARY CONTINUES
The Legion of Mary meets on Tuesdays in Classroom 5 at 6:30PM if
you wish to get involved in this ministry. This group will also be
ministering to nursing home residents & shut-ins wishing to
strengthen their faith.
With Our Sympathy
Our communities of faith extend our sympathy and
prayerful support to the family of Dylan Ross, son of Terry & Rhonda
Ross. May the Lord grant peace and consolation to this family in
their time of need. May they, and all who sleep in Christ, find in
God’s presence, light, happiness and peace.
THINK
YOU ARE BEING CALLED BY GOD TO BE AN
ALTAR
SERVER DURING WEEKEND MASS?
Young people, 4th grade and
higher, who believe you are being called by Our Lord to be an Altar
Server should discuss the matter with your parents, then contact the
parish office to arrange a meeting with Father Bayhi. Altar Service
is a very special way of serving Our Lord. Think and pray about it.
~
THE
THING’S NOT WASH ‘N WEAR OR TOSS AND WEAR!
Altar Servers (boys and girls), please
be certain to take your
cassock & surplice or alb home and wash, dry and press it on a
regular basis. We need to look sharp while on the Altar, serving Our
Lord. Also, please be sure to properly hand your outfit in the
vesting room following Mass to eliminate wrinkles and save others
from having to do extra work.
On February 7, 2010, St. John's joined in the
celebration of 100 Years of Scouthing, through which
all scouts, past and present, participated in the celebration of the
Eucharist and where recognized for their commitment to the service
organization. Scouts served as Altar Servers,
Lectors/Commentators, Ushers and Eucharistis Ministers. In
addition to the group shot above, Matthew and Charles Flanders are
shown, having just served on the Altar.
The Boy Scouts, Cub Scouts, and Webelos have
charters at St. John’s. The Boy Scouts is one of the nation’s
largest and most prominent values-based youth development
organizations. BSA helps build the future leaders of this country
by combining educational activities and lifelong values with fun.
The BSA believes that helping youth is a key to building a more
conscientious, responsible, and productive society.

REMINDER -
Please remember, According to the
General Instruction of the Roman Missal, for use in the
Latin-rite dioceses of the U. S., the custom of observing silence in
churches & adjacent areas is to be retained, particularly before Mass (GIRM
45).
The GIRM directs that, if the Tabernacle with the Most
Blessed Sacrament is present in the Sanctuary, then all who are able
should genuflect when approaching the Altar & when they depart
from it. Within the celebration of the Mass itself, priests, deacons &
other ministers in the sanctuary need only make a profound bow.
The GIRM also directs that, during the recitation of
the Profession of Faith, at the words, "by the power of the Holy Spirit,
He was. . .& became man," all are to make a profound bow.
A "profound bow" is described as a bow of the body as opposed
to a simple bow of the head & "genuflection" is made by
bending the right knee to the ground (GIRM 274).

Do You Know the Pattern
of Drug Addiction? The
pattern of addiction begins with an individual who, like most
people in our society, is good intentioned and traveling through
life to get somewhere. That somewhere varies from individual to
individual, however it generally encompasses the individuals
hopes, dreams, goals for the future. The person encounters a
problem or discomfort that they do not know how to resolve
successfully. This could include problems such as difficulty
"fitting in" as a child or teenager, anxiety due to peer
pressure or work expectations, personal rejection, loss or
death, identity problems, or divorce. It can also include
physical discomfort such as an injury or chronic pain.
The person experiencing the discomfort has a
real problem and feels the present situation is unendurable, yet
sees no good solution to the problem. Everyone has experienced
this in their life to a greater or lesser degree. The difference
between an addict and the non-addict is that the addict chooses
drugs or alcohol as a solution to the unwanted problem or
discomfort.
This person tries the drugs or alcohol and
they appear to solve life’s problems. The person feels better
and now seems better able to deal with life. However, the drugs
did not change the universe and the problems still exist. The
addict wakes up in the same world but a bit weaker, a bit redder
in the eyes, feeling a bit worse, with an even lower resistance
to the problems.
If you, or someone you know, is suffering from addiction call
NarcAnon at 877-413-3073 or call the parish office.
Take control of your addiction; don’t let it control you!

Prayer After Death of Loved One ~ Saints of God, come to his/her
aid! Come to meet him/her, angels of the Lord! Receive his/her soul and
present him/her to God the Most High. May Christ, Who called you, take
you to Himself; may angels lead you to Abraham's side. Receive his/her
soul and present him/her to God the Most High.
Give him/her eternal rest, O Lord, and may Your light shine upon
him/her forever. Receive his/her soul and present him/her to God the
Most High. We commend our brother/sister, (Name) to you, Lord. Now that
he/she has passed from this life, may he/she live on in Your presence.
In Your mercy and love, forgive whatever sins he/she may have committed
through human weakness. We ask this through Christ our Lord. ~Amen |
