Week of
OCTOBER 11, 2009: THE TWENTY-EIGHTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME 
Please visit here for GENERAL INFORMATION:
NEXT SUNDAY'S READINGS:
Isaiah 53:10-11
Hebrews 4:14-16
Mark 10:35-45

In today’s Gospel, Jesus is questioned by a young man about what he should do to inherit everlasting life.  In responding, Jesus quotes the Ten Commandments and the young man replies that he has followed all of these since his youth.  Jesus then tells him to sell what he has, give to the poor, and then follow him.  The young man leaves feeling sad because he has many possessions.  What I believe is important about this passage is that eternal life is not just about following the 10 Commandments.  That is one part of it.  The other is based upon how we live out Gospel values?

FLU PRECAUTIONS: As you know flu season is here. If you are experiencing any flu symptoms please go to Brady Health to be checked out.  If you have the flu, please do not infect others through physical contact.  FSU is advising that if you have the flu, do not go to class; stay home and get better.  I would also advise you not to come to Mass if you have the flu. If you like, I would be happy to bring Communion to you that week; just let me know.  Also, if you have a cold, please do not receive Communion from the Cup.  In other words, I ask you to use common sense when facing a cold of the flu.  If all of us take proper precautions, we can limit the spread of the flu in our community.  Thank you for your consideration of these precautions.

.

FOOD AND CLOTHING DONATIONS: There is a table in the back of the Chapel for food donations for the needy of our community. When you are shopping, consider getting a nonperishable food item and bring it with you to Mass to place in our food basket. If you have any old clothing that is clean and in good condition that you wish to donate, please bring it to the Osborne Newman Center and place it in the downstairs lounge. These are two ways we can serve those in need in our area.

Last Sunday’s Collection amounted to $268.75. Thank you for your generous support of Catholic Campus Ministry and its programs.
