As the saying goes, "Nobody likes a tattletale." True, but I always enjoyed

being a tattletile. Whether repofting my brothers' incessant teasing or a

classmate's misbehavior, I liked feeling "morally superior"to others. Ifelt proud

to serve as the police officer for good behavior in my world Perhaps y-ou'v_e

known -and even enjoyed-that somewhat smug feeling.

Joshua in today's first reading and John in today's Gospeldo a bit of tattling as

they complain to their leaders about people who appear to be outsiders acting

in God's name. Their complaints are dismissed because Moses and Jesus affirm

that God knows no human boundaries, and these "outsiders" are doing the

Lord's work. Not only are the tattlers' complaints rejected, but Jesus issues a

challenge to turn the eyes of judgment inward.

His images of cutting off limbs and plucking out eyes are dramatic, but his point

is simple: Remove from yourself anything that causes you or others to srn. Stop

worrying about others' behavior and focus on purging yaurself of sinful

thoughts and actions.

Seeing others'faults comes easily-it's more difficult to be the police officer ofour own behaviors. Yet we're called to be vigilant about removing elements

that lead to sin. Perhaps we need to stop associating with people who gossip.

Maybe we need to stop consuming alcohol because we're disrespectful or

engage in risky behavior after a few drinks. Perhaps we need to stop nursing

grudges and forgive someone who begs mercy fron us.

Can we look at ourselves with the observant eye of the tattletale and ask God

to help us eliminate what leads us to sin?

YEI\R OF FAITH

MYEAR OF FAMISIS

Pope Benedict XVI has declared October !\ 2oa2to November 24t 207-2.

as the Year of Faith. The upcoming Year of Faith is a "summons to an

authentic and renewed conversion to the Lord, the One Savior of theworld" (Porta Fidei6).ln other words, the Year of Faith is an opportunityfor Catholics to experience a conversion - to turn back to Jesus and enter

into a deeper relationship with him. The "door of faith" is opened at one's baptism,

but during this year Catholics are called to open it again, walk through it and

rediscover and renew their relationship with Christ and his Church.

Celebrate the opening Mass of the "Year of Faith" on

Tuesday, October 9th at 7.oo p.m. at the Co-Cathedral of St. Theresa.

SPECIAL COLLECTION-OCI 6 & 7

Our Second Collection next week will be for Catholic Charities Hawaii.Mr. Wesley Fong who serves on the Board will be speaking to us at the 4 pm and

the 9:3o am Mass. This organization does much for those in need in Hawaii and

often unacknowledged. During these hard economic times there are more and

rnore people who need help. CCH has stepped uP-to fill the gaps. Let's all help. .

LIVING IN LOVE MINI-R.ETREAT Novernber 3-4,2412Often we say that we want to live our lives as Jesus would want us to. Sometimes

we hear about Pope John Paul ll's Theology of the Body and wonder how toincorporate his divine plan for couples into our everyday lives. Some days we feel

tike we want to love our spouse and make him or her feel loved and special. But itcan be such a mysteryto know and be able to actually make this realfor us with our

busy lives. A Living in Love Weekend will be presented by the best-selling authors

of Passionate Parent Passionate Couple, Ed and Betty Coda, here at St Stephen

Church on November 3-4.After they experienced this mini-retreat, they learned

ways to solve this mystery for their own marriage and now they want to share thisgoodnewswithothers.PIeasejointhem.Seethewebsite@formore information and to register. Or call 839o837.

de ar PAD Rf,

My sister was diuorced last year afur 10 years in an abusiye

marriage. She's met sollrcone and wants tn marry him. Slrc's

eager to start her naa lfe and doesn't want to wait for an

annulment. Sfu plans to be married next month by a judge and

then haue her marriage conualidated after her annulment is

granted. What does thnt mean? Is it OK?

Jean

DearJean,

lWhen Catholics who were married outside the Churchwant to have that marriage blessed by the Church, theblessing is performed in a ceremony called conualidation.

But don't get the wrong idea-this isn't a way aroundthe rules. A convalidated marriage is sacramental, so

your sister must meet the requirements all Catholicshave to meet before marrying in the Church: They mustbe baptized, they can't be too closely related to eachother, they need permission from their pastor, they mustbe legally free to marry, and they must be free to marryin the Church. That last requirement means that ifyoursister was sacramentally married to her first husband andhe's alive, she needs an annulment before her newmarriage can be blessed by the Church in a

convalidation ceremony.

If her new marriage takes place in a Catholic church andis presided over by a Catholic priest or deacon, restassured that her new marriage will be valid in the eyes ofthe Church.
