They were exceedingly astonished and said among themselves,
“Then who can be saved?” Jess looked at them and said,
“for human beings it is impossible, but not for God.
All Things are possible for God.:
Mk 10:26-27
Ellos asombraron todavía mas y comentaban entre sí:
“Entonces, ¿Quien puede salvarse?” Jesús, mirándolos fijamente, les dijo:
“es imposible para los hombres, mas no para Dios.
Para Dios todo es posible”.

 Being good stewards of what God has given us and done for us
demands us to make radical choices on behalf of others in living
our lives.
 The innocence, openness, and vulnerability of a child - may we
always respect and protect that while cultivating it in our own
lives.
 Christ calls us to follow him with undivided hearts; but he calls
each of us individually in our proper circumstances. The Spirit
enables us.
 May the Spirit keep us open to God's law of mercy and love and
always aware of the Church's missionary efforts even if from afar.
 Angels - to light and guard, to rule and guide at our side.

“Who is My Neighbor?”
This question is posed to Jesus and he answers with the Parable of
the Good Samaritan (Luke 10). We will ask this question after Masses

5:30 p.m. Masses) and on October 24th (at 5:30 p.m. Mass) &

Committee
The Saint Rita Pastoral Council is currently
seeking nominations for new Council members
The Parish Pastoral Council assists the Pastor in guiding the overall
direction of parish activity through prayerful reflection and consensus
building among its members. Members of the Council are selected by
a process of prayerful discernment by individual candidates and
current Council members, all under the leadership of our pastor.
You are invited to nominate those parishioners you feel would make
effective Pastoral Council members (including yourself). Nominees should
be individuals who are active in the practice of their faith and able to
consider prayerfully the needs of the Saint Rita Parish Community.
We ask this questions so that we can meet those who worship around
us week after week and become a community “called by name.” We
do not worship anonymously and in isolation, but rather we worship
in community as the collective Body of Christ.
After Mass you will be invited to stay in the sanctuary for about 15
minutes if you are able, and introduce yourself by name to your
fellow worshipers and dialogue briefly about your life in the
community.
Nominees must attend the Evening of Discernment, Friday,
October 16th at 6:30 p.m. Pastoral Council meetings are held on the
This activity flows from our Listening Sessions of last Lent when
people mentioned how challenging it is to know each other in a large
parish. Here is a simple opportunity to tear down a few walls, meet
your church neighbors, and build up our community in faith.
2nd Monday of every month at 7p.m. To submit a nomination please fill out
a Pastoral Council Member Nomination Card found on the Mass leaflet
table in the narthex.

Nominations will be accepted through Sunday, October 11th.

Join us this fall as we read together the essential texts of Church’s understanding of
marriage. Beginning with the study of Scripture, we will move on to read and explore the
writings of several Church fathers, Catholic and Protestant texts from the early modern
period, and then texts from Vatican II as well as contemporary works. The goal is to
familiarize ourselves with the actual writings which form the basis of the Church’s
theology and practice. Marriage, obviously, has been a topic of some debate recently.
This class provides a unique opportunity to explore the “primary sources” of our tradition
and to form one’s opinions more deeply and knowledgeably…beyond shallow thinking
and sound bites. This class offers a remarkable and timely opportunity.

St. Rita Stephen Ministry
Get Together:
Some activities are better done alone, like brushing your teeth or
playing solitaire. Some activities are better and more satisfying when
you work with others. Stephen Ministry is one of those get-it-donetogether ministries. Stephen Ministers meet regularly with another
person to provide care. They also meet with other Stephen Ministers
to support and encourage one another. Stephen Leaders provide
training and supervision. When Stephen Leaders and Stephen Ministers
work together, God accomplishes wonderful things! Is God calling you
to get together with this team?

 The St. Rita Class of 2016 visited The Pines Catholic Camp for a
St. Elizabeth Ann Seaton Singles Halloween Dance
three day retreat. Thank you to all the faculty, staff, and parents
for making this trip a special and memorable experience for our
8th graders.
 A frequently asked question that the school gets from those
applying or even from those who have been here a while is about
where our graduates go after they leave here. We are proud to say
that most of our graduates this year went on to Catholic high
schools. Here are the statistics for the class of 2015: 5 to Bishop
Lynch, 36 to Jesuit, 12 to John Paul II, 20 to Ursuline, 1 to Booker
T. Washington and 2 to another school of their choice.
St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Singles wishes to invite everyone age 21 or
over to their annual Halloween Dance! This year's dance is
scheduled on Saturday; October 24, 2015 from 8:00 p.m. to 12:00
a.m. The dance will be held at the Faith Formation Building: 3100
West Spring Creek Parkway; Plano, TX 75023 one block west of the
church. The cost of the dance is $20.00 per person. The cost
includes snacks and two free drink tickets. Cash prizes will be
awarded for the best costumes. For additional information please
call Jaime Campos at (214)-505-4852.

nosotros nos exige tomar decisiones radicales en nombre de otros al
vivir nuestras vidas.
La inocencia, la apertura y la vulnerabilidad de un niño - pueden
siempre respetar y proteger eso mientras lo cultivamos en nuestras
propias vidas.
Cristo nos llama a seguirlo con todo el corazón; pero él llama a cada
uno de nosotros individualmente en nuestras propias circunstancias.
El Espíritu nos capacita.
Que el Espíritu nos mantenga abierto a la ley de misericordia y amor
y siempre atentos a los esfuerzos misioneros de la Iglesia, aunque de
sea de lejos.

de la Comunión y, de hecho toda
procesión litúrgica, como un
signo de la Iglesia peregrina, el
cuerpo de aquéllos que creen en
Cristo, en su camino hacia la
Jerusalén Celestial.
 Una pregunta frecuente que la escuela recibe de las familias que
se inscriben, o incluso de los que han estado aquí desde hace
tiempo, es a donde van nuestros graduados después de salir de
aquí. Estamos orgullosos de decir que la mayoría de nuestros graduados del año pasado fueron a escuelas secundarias católicas.
Aquí están las estadísticas de la clase de 2015: 5 a Bishop Lynch,
36 a la Jesuita, 12 a Juan Pablo II, 20 a las Ursulinas, 1 a Booker T.
Washington y 2 a otra escuela de su elección.
 A lo largo de nuestras vidas, nosotros, los que creemos en Cristo,
nos movemos en el tiempo hacia
ese momento en que seremos
llevados de este mundo por la
muerte y entraremos en el gozo
de nuestro Señor, al Reino eterno
que nos ha preparado.

 Cuando nos movemos en procesión, particularmente, en la procesión

 Para algunos, sin embargo, la experiencia de la Procesión de la Comu-
nión es mucho más trivial y hasta lo mismo con el hacer cola en el supermercado o en la Dirección General de Vehículos Motorizados. Una percepción como ésta es una comprensión terriblemente incorrecta y empobrecida de una acción religiosa significativa.

 De hecho, cada vez que nos disponemos para recibir el cuerpo y la san-
gre del Señor, nos unimos a los innumerables rangos de todos los bautizados que han muerto antes que nosotros, nuestros seres queridos, los
santos canonizados y no canonizados a lo largo de los siglos, quienes en
algún momento de la historia formaron parte de este gran multitud de
creyentes.

“Cómo vivir la Eucaristía que nos mandó celebrar el Señor”
 Esta acción del cuerpo de Cristo, la Iglesia reunida para la Eucaristía, se
manifiesta y se apoya en el Himno de la Comunión, un himno de alabanza a Cristo cantado al unísono por las voces de quienes creen en Él y
comparten Su vida. La Instrucción General del Misal Romano toma muy
en serio este himno, estableciendo que debe empezar en el momento de
la Comunión del sacerdote y que debe extenderse hasta que la última
persona haya comulgado.

Cuando se leen en la Iglesia las
Sagradas Escrituras es Dios mismo
quien habla a su pueblo, y Cristo,

Las lecturas aclaran la unidad de los

intromisión en su propia oración, su propia acción de gracias privada
después de la Comunión. Sin embargo, este himno es oración, la oración
de acción gracias comunitaria de los miembros del Cuerpo de Cristo,
mutuamente unidos. Una y otra vez, las plegarias litúrgicas y las normas
de la Instrucción General enfatizan este concepto fundamental de la
unidad de los bautizados, resaltando que cuando nos reunimos para
participar en la celebración Eucarística, venimos no como individuos sino
como miembros unidos del Cuerpo de Cristo.
 En cada una de las Plegarias Eucarísticas, aunque la petición se presenta
con pequeñas diferencias, se le pide a Dios que envíe Su Espíritu Santo
para hacernos un solo cuerpo, un solo Espíritu; la Instrucción General
invita a los fieles a que “actúen, pues, como un solo cuerpo tanto al escuchar la Palabra de Dios, como al tomar parte en las oraciones y en los
cantos y, en especial, al ofrecer comunitariamente el sacrificio y al participar todos juntos en la mesa del Señor” (IGMR # 96), describe como uno
de los propósitos del canto de entrada a la Misa intensifica la unión
de los que se han reunido 3.
