Twenty Sixth Sunday in Ordinary Time ∎ St. Joseph’s Parish Bulletin – September 28/29, 2019 LATE LOVE The rich man, now condemned, shows concern for his five brothers. They, presumably, are living it up — and destined for the same end as their hapless sibling. The rich man's concern is well-placed, but his timing is late. If only he had shown concern for his brothers' souls when he was alive — then he might have made an impact. Caring for family members, helping them reach heaven, is the most loving thing we can do for them. Everything else will be meaningless if our own behavior (or omission) prevents others from attaining salvation. Does that prompt me to pray constantly for family members? To offer up sacrifices for them? Do I try to help others grow in their faith? CONVERSATION WITH CHRIST Lord, my time in this world is short. Too many people suffer the unexpected death of loved ones and then regret that they didn't do more for them. Let me not make that same mistake. Help me see that each day is a gift, and each encounter with another person is an opportunity to show your love to them. RESOLUTION I will do an act of charity for someone whom I have been taking for granted. (Fr.

Twenty Sixth Sunday in Ordinary Time ∎ St. Joseph’s Parish Bulletin – September 28/29, 2019
LATE LOVE The rich man, now condemned, shows concern for his five brothers. They, presumably, are living it up — and destined for the same end as their hapless sibling. The rich man's concern is well-placed, but his timing is late. If only he had shown concern for his brothers' souls when he was alive — then he might have made an impact. Caring for family members, helping them reach heaven, is the most loving thing we can do for them. Everything else will be meaningless if our own behavior (or omission) prevents others from attaining salvation. Does that prompt me to pray constantly for family members? To offer up sacrifices for them? Do I try to help others grow in their faith? CONVERSATION WITH CHRIST Lord, my time in this world is short. Too many people suffer the unexpected death of loved ones and then regret that they didn't do more for them. Let me not make that same mistake. Help me see that each day is a gift, and each encounter with another person is an opportunity to show your love to them. RESOLUTION I will do an act of charity for someone whom I have been taking for granted. (Fr. Edward McIlmail, LC)

BOSOM OF ABRAHAM
For the perennially starving people of the Middle East, heaven was often pictured as a lavish meal.
In the Roman style of banqueting, the diners lay on flat couches with their heads facing the table. Two or three people would recline on each couch. The place of honor was beside the host.
Hence the "bosom–or side of–Abraham" meant the lap of luxury. The beggar in today's Gospel enjoys this favored position presumably because of his trust in God. The wealthy man is sometimes known as "Dives", a Latin word meaning "rich". He is in hell–- separated from heaven by a vast chasm. (Father Richard Lonsdale)
2019 PRIEST STUDY DAYS As all of our Diocesan Priests heading up for their Annual Study Days, St. Joseph will not have regular Masses, beginning Tuesday Mass, October 1st until October 3rd. Mass will resume on Friday, October 4th at the 12PM Mass. Please make a note of it.

MINISTRY SIGN UP SUNDAY OCTOBER 27-28
Dear St. Joseph Parishioners,
In the interest of increasing awareness about and encouraging parishioners to join new ministries, we will be hosting an Information and Sign Up after all Sunday masses on the October 27 and 28 weekend. This will take place downstairs where (hopefully) someone from each ministry will be there to answer questions about the time commitment; responsibilities and training if required. There will be a sign-up sheet for interested parishioners to leave their contact info for the coordinator of the ministry to contact them within a reasonable length of time. A write up from each ministry would be helpful in the event it is not possible to have someone there after each mass. For example, responsibilities of time commitment, training, and contact person. For example, if you wish to serve as a lector, altar server or Eucharistic Minister, attending training may be required.
I have listed the ministries and parish organizations I think would benefit from inclusion. Please let me know if I have missed any or should exclude any.
Lectors Music Cantor EMHC Hospitality Children’s Liturgy Altar Servers RCIA Sacramental Preparation Fanning Centre Pastoral Care St Vincent de Paul Liturgy Committee Prayer Shawl Ministry CWL K of C
Advertising the Ministry Sign Up will be in the bulletin and on the overhead for several weeks so that people will know about it. Thanks for your assistance to make this a success. JOAN
