“We proclaim Jesus as Lord and ourselves as servants for His sake.”

October 20, 2013 Twenty-ninth Sunday in Ordinary Time

17 Years�

This past week on the 15th of October, the

Feast of Saint Teresa of Avila, I celebrated Holy

Mass with our band of pilgrims in the crypt of

the Basilica of Saint Thérèse of the Child Jesus

and the Holy Face (our own Little Flower) in

Lisieux, France. I could not help but recall that

17 years ago on this date in 1996 I took up

residence at Shrine and became pastor.

Following Archbishop Brunett who was your

pastor for 3 years, and Archbishop Nienstedt

your pastor for 2 years, I told you I would be

around for a long time. I think I have fulfilled

those words.

We have been through a lot together;

Baptisms, Weddings, Confirmations, First

Communions, Funerals, Easter Vigils with

hundreds of new Catholics baptized or

received into the Church. Over the past 17

years we have had a number of capital

campaigns, become a National Shrine,

received the relics of Saint Thérèse with a

record number of faithful attending, created a

new baptismal font in a restored Saint Thérèse

Chapel, established a Master Plan which still

guides our development, constructed Heritage

Hall with a new reception area, moved the

Adoration Chapel to its new more fitting home

in the Coughlin building, purchased the strip

mall and established the conference center,

added parking and enhanced the grounds.

Now we are on our way to being designated a

minor basilica.

Our schools continue to be strong while

many around us have perished. New windows

were installed, many classrooms updated,

science labs totally redone, the high school

chapel doubled in size, created the Sanders

Performing Arts Center and built the new field

house along with many other enhancements.

Notes from Monsignor Easton

There is still a long way to go. We desperately need a

larger parish hall with multiple uses, the preschool building

needs to be replaced, the sports fields need major

improvements. The list is endless. Before anything else we

need to pay forward on our debt for the field house to

reduce our interest and put us in a position to move

forward. As I wrote a few weeks ago we are in good

financial shape, healthy not wealthy.

As I review the past 17 years, I am filled with deep

appreciation for the support and the patience of the

people of Shrine. I beg forgiveness of those I have

offended or hurt in any way. I have never intended to

purposefully hurt anyone. Please forgive my human

Christian Service Commission

Commission Members serve in leadership roles in various activities to help us live

our Catholic Social Values. We will meet on Thursday, October 24, 2013 in the

Heritage Hall Board Room at 7:00 pm. Services in which we spend many human

and financial resources are: Life Issues, Services for the Homeless, Jail Ministry,

Advent Giving Tree, St. Vincent de Paul assistance, Disabilities Concerns, Health

Advocacy, Justice Concerns, Legislative Advocacy, AED Responders and Pastoral

Care.

Anyone who is interested in helping with the leadership in a particular area is

welcome and encouraged to come to this meeting. Thanks to all who currently

serve.

Today is Mission Sunday

We observe the annual day of prayer and sacrifice for the missions today. We

unite ourselves with our fellow Christians all over the world who with us attempt to

share our faith with others, especially those who have not yet heard of the name of

Jesus.

We listened today to the Gospel account of the widowed woman who just

never gives up in her petition for help. Her persistence pays off and her wish is

granted. Sometimes we might feel like the judge who just got tired of her constant

request for assistance. Our missionaries, who keep coming to us for help may

remind us of the persistence widow. At God’s command they have left home and

family and bring the Gospel message on God’s loving care to those living in the

over 1,500 missionary diocese of the world.

Today offers us the opportunity to assist them as did Aaron and Hur for Moses

who sought so hard for the betterment of his people. Our Holy Father, Pope

Francis, has not stopped reminding us that this support of the missions is still an

essential part of the Church.

World Mission Sunday, this year, offers us the opportunity to join with our Holy

Father in this zealous care for the world’s poor.

Pray for Vocations 31 Club

Pick a day of the month and sign-up at the church entrance.

No Dues. No Meetings. Just Prayers.

weaknesses and continue to be patient with me as we move forward. As Saint

Thérèse encourages us, may we continue to love and serve The Lord Our God

with all our strength in both big and little ways.

Louis and Zelie Martin

The relics of the parents, Louis and Zelie Martin are enshrined in the crypt of the

Basilica of Saint Thérèse in Lisieux. Their pictures hang in the Martin Room (aka the

cry room) of our own National Shrine. They are the first married couple to be

beatified together. They will also hopefully be the first married couple canonized

together. There are other married couples who are both saints, but none of them

were ever canonized together. We have three people connected to our parish in

the process of canonization, Solanus Casey, and Blessed Louis and Zelie Martin.

Pray for their canonization and seek their intercession.

Rosie, Carlito & Lord Stanley

As I write this in France, I look forward to seeing my three friends again. I have

been tempted to ask one of the pilgrims to hang on to the other end of a leash as

we walk. I think it would make me more comfortable walking with a leash in

hand.

Widowed in Recent Years?

Women whose spouse has died in the past few years are invited for

“Coffee and Conversation” with a focus on your needs, interests and ways

of coping now that your spouse is gone. We will share ideas on what may

be helpful for this part of your life-jouney. We will meet on Thursday, October

24, from 10 to 11:30 am in Heritage Hall Room B. Park in the 12 Mile parking

lot and go to the receptionist for directions to Room B. If you will be new to

the group, please call Sr. Noreen (248.541.4122, ext. 411) and leave your

name and phone number so we can plan accordingly.

Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration

"In spite of the difficulties, Thérèse remained faithful to

prayer and relished her time with the Lord. She was there to

love and comfort Him, demanding no comfort in return. The

fact that she received none is meant to encourage rather

than discourage us."

- Prayers and Meditations of Thérèse of Lisieux

edited by Cindy Cavnar

"The power of prayer is really tremendous. It makes one

like a queen who can approach the king at any time and get

whatever she asks for. To be sure of an answer, there is no

need to recite from a book a formula composed for the

occasion. If there were, I should have to be pitied. ...I

behave like children who cannot read: I tell God very simply

what I want and He always understands....For me, prayer is

like an upward leap of the heart, an untroubled glance

towards heaven, a cry of gratitude and love which I utter

from the depths of sorrow as well as from the heights of joy. It

has a supernatural grandeur which expands the soul and

unites it with God."

- St. Thérèse of Lisieux

Please call Marie Lama at 248.655.0309 if you are able to

help with any of the following Holy Hours. Open Holy

Hours: Sunday, 8 am, 10 pm; Tuesday, 4 am; Wednesday, 3, 4

am, 4 pm. The following Holy Hours have persons who desire

partners with which to share their Holy Hours: Sunday, 10 am,

2, 3, 4 pm; Monday, 10 am; Tuesday, 9 am, 3 pm, 7 pm;

Wednesday, 3 pm; Friday, 9 am, 10 am, 1, 2, 3 pm; Saturday,

9 am, 4 pm, 8 pm; Tuesday-Friday, 1 pm.

With Thanksgiving and Christmas coming soon, we will

probably be in need of substitute adorers who can fill in as

needed during those holidays. If you are able to help with

this, contact me at the above number and let me know the

times of day you would be available and for which

holiday. Thank you and God bless you in advance.

Life Matters

It is very easy to look at the craziness and violence in our culture

and wonder what one person can do to make a difference. But

Jesus is calling each of us to be His arms, His legs, His eyes, His heart

and His voice. Not only does He want us individually to know His

mercy and love but He wants us to bring that gospel to the world.

What better way to do that than to be a witness to the women

coming to Womancare for an abortion, witness to the abortion

workers that there is a better way to serve and witness to the

hundreds of people who pass by in their cars on Southfield Road.

People can make a difference if they put their trust in God.

Please also consider joining the prayer vigil outside of WomanCare

throughout the 40 Days for Life campaign running until November 3.

When the post-abortive woman’s carefully

constructed defense mechanisms begin to crumble,

and she confronts the stark reality of her abortion, her

guilt over this act can precipitate an acute plunge in

would want and hope for you.

Pope Francis has

come upon the world

stage with a big splash

following the words,

"Habemus Papam"! ! The secular press is

pulling out statements, sometimes out of

context, to present their picture of him. If

you want to know more about who he

really is, two newly published books will

help to "fill in the blanks". Francis, Pope of

a New World, is a biography by Andrea

Tornielli who is a Vatican reporter, that tells

about his background, his qualities, what

led up to his election, and more. Pray For

Me: The Life and Spiritual Vision of Pope

Francis, First Pope From the Americas by

Robert Moynihan, the editor of Inside the

Vatican magazine is divided into three

parts: "A New Pope's First Days:", "The Life

That Formed Pope Francis"; and "In His

Own Words" (42 pages of excerpts from

his writings).

Lending Library hours are Sundays from

Grade School Happenings

Computer Classes

We’ve had a great start to the year in computer

classes. The kindergarten students have jumped right

in and are using the computers like pros. The returning

students are building on the skills used in previous

grades. Our work in the Computer Lab focuses on

using the computer as a tool. We use a number of

applications to create diverse projects and

presentations. The students in each grade build on

the skills and knowledge from the previous years. Our

application software includes Kid Pix, Inspirations,

Word, Power Point, Prezi, and Micro Worlds EX. The

students are producing interesting and innovative

presentations that support the curriculum. In the

process they are learning how to use the computer to

research, read and synthesize the information

gathered, and convey that information to their

audience with their projects and presentations. The

bar is set high and they are enjoying the challenge.

The other big news for technology at the Grade

School is the addition of iPads! With funds earned

from the auction, we were able to purchase an Apple

iPad Learning Lab. We have a set of 25 iPads and a

secure Bretford PowerSync Cart. The cart can store,

charge, and sync all of the iPads with the MacBook Air

computer. The cart moves easily around the school so

multiple classes can use them, and the cart can be

locked to secure the devices when they’re not in use.

There will be apps for all of the grade levels and

subject areas. Our S.T.E.M. Club will be among the first

to test the rollout of the new iPads. Thanks to the

Auction Committee and everyone who supported the

auction for such an important purchase.

Altar Server News

Soon another group of students will join the altar server ranks, including several who are beginning

their two-year preparation for Confirmation. Thank you for the commitment of students, parents,

teachers, and our priests to the altar server ministry.

Students in fifth grade and older (from any school or home-schooled, and parish members) can get

on the list for the next altar server training sessions (February-March 2014) by emailing Ellen Kehoe at

[email protected] or calling 248.547.1404.

Grade School students concentrated on Iowa testing. Thank you for helping us again this year!

Vocations

What are you doing in the family, the parish, the

vicariate and the region to promote and encourage

vocations to the priesthood? Prayer and invitation are

two powerful ways you can make a difference.

Invite someone you know to attend a Discernment

Weekend for men aged 18-55: Thursday – Sunday,

October 31- November 3, 2013. For more information

visit our website: www.detroitpriest.com. Follow us on

Facebook: Office of Priestly Vocations or Twitter

@DetroitPriest.

DID YOU KNOW: According to a CARA report, the

Archdiocese of Detroit is now one of many dioceses

throughout the United States who now has fewer active

diocesan priests than parishes served. Present data

indicates that the average age for priests assigned to

the Archdiocese of Detroit is 56.6 years of age. In the

240 parishes, we have 262 AOD assigned priests 37 of

which are religious order priests. From 2013 to 2023 it is

projected that there will only be 188 total active priests

available for parish assignments; a 28.2% DECREASE in

the number of priest in ten years.

Vocations, one of the seven mission priorities for the

Archdiocese of Detroit!

CSA Minute

theme of the day, will be a panel discussion. The

D. T. P. S.

In the Gospel today we hear Jesus tell us how important it is to pray without getting tired of it, without

growing weary of talking to him. We should know by know that Mass is the perfect way to pray and thank

God, but yet how often have we woke up on a Sunday morning and said to ourselves that we were feeling

just too tired to go to Mass, or it was such a busy week that we need some extra rest, or that the day is so

packed full of things to do that we can’t give an hour to God. And if we have ever said or thought those

things, is it any wonder that in the last line from the Gospel, we can almost hear the sadness in Jesus’ voice

when he asks if he will find faith on the earth when he returns at his second coming.

Yes the devil wants to convince us that prayer is not important, but he does it in a very conniving way.

Gradually eating away at our daily prayer time, convincing us that shaving 5 or 10 minutes off here or there

won’t matter is the way Satan convinces us to stop praying. Jesus told us it was important, but knew of our

human weakness and it is only with his help, help we get from the Eucharist, that we can win the battle and

not grow weary. 10 minutes in the morning, 5 in the middle of the day, and 10 more at night, is a simple gift to

give to God. Add up how much time you spent watching TV, or listening to music or browsing aimlessly on the

internet. Was it more than 25 minutes? Likely so. Jesus gives us himself freely, today (and every day) we can

commit to give ourselves to him.

In Christ, Deacon Tom

NATIONAL SHRINE of the Little Flower

Year of Faith

The word “liturgy”

originally meant a “public

work” or a “service in the

name of/on behalf of the

people.” In Christian

tradition it means the

participation of the People of God in

“the work of God.” Through the liturgy

Christ, our redeemer and high priest,

continues the work of our redemption in,

with, and through his Church.

In the New Testament the word

“liturgy” refers not only to the celebration

of divine worship but also to the

proclamation of the Gospel and to

active charity. In all of these situations it is

a question of service to God and

neighbor.

-Catechism of the Catholic Church

#1069 -1070

Question

How does the celebration of Mass

motivate me to do the “work of God” in

my everyday life?

Prayer

Direct, we beg you, O Lord, our actions

by your holy inspirations, and grant that

we may carry them out with your

gracious assistance, that every prayer

and work of ours may begin always with

you, and through you be happily ended.

Amen.
