NEWEST CANONIZED SAINTS Pope Francis canonized England’s Cardinal John Henry Newman and four women: Italy’s Giuseppina Vannini (1859-1911), founder of the Daughters of Saint Camillus; India’s Mariam Thresia Chiramel Mankidiyan (1876-1926), founder of the Congregaon of the Sisters of the Holy Family; Brazil’s Sister Dulce Lopes Pontes (1914-1992), and Switzerland’s Margherita Bays (1815- The ﬁrst three women spent their lives working for the poor. The following is an excerpt from the Homily of His Holiness Pope Francis, St. Peter's Square, October 13, 2019

To cry out. To walk. To give thanks. Today we give thanks to the Lord for our new Saints. They walked by faith and now we invoke their intercession. Three of them were religious women; they show us that the consecrated life is a journey of love at the existenal peripheries of the world. Saint Marguerite Bays, on the other hand, was a seamstress; she speaks to us of the power of simple prayer, enduring paence and silent self-giving. That is how the Lord made the splendor of Easter radiate in her life, in her humbleness. Such is the holiness of daily life, which Saint John Henry Newman described in these words: “The Chrisan has a deep, silent, hidden peace, which the world sees not... The Chrisan is cheerful, easy, kind, gentle, courteous, candid, unassuming; has no pretense... with so lile that is unusual or striking in his bearing, that he may easily be taken at ﬁrst sight for an ordinary man,” Parochial and Plain Sermons, V, 5. Let us ask to be like that, “kindly lights” amid the encircling gloom. Jesus, “stay with me, and then I shall begin to shine as Thou shinest: so to shine as to be a light to others,” Meditaons on Chrisan Doctrine, VII, 3. Amen.

A Message from Kelly Dunnahoo — Life Teen In the second reading today, Paul is reminding Timothy of the importance of the Scriptures because they help us on our journey toward God. Historically, Paul would have been referring to the Old Testament, which is the part of the Bible that came before Christ was born. But reading this passage today, we know that the enre Bible is important for our relaonship with and knowledge of Jesus Christ. For example, the Mass that we aend each week is extremely Biblical. It’s not just the readings but the various prayers, Communion, and even the Sign of the Cross that are Biblical.

However, we have to be careful to not just “pick and choose” parts of the Bible that seem to jusfy how we feel about certain topics. When taking various passages out of context, you can jusfy prey much anything! That is why the Bible has to be read and understood as a complete gi from God as well as together with the constant and unwavering teachings of the Catholic Church.

So reading the Bible is important – but how should we read it? Many of us have started right at the beginning, but very few of us have made it past Levicus when starng that way. A beer way is to start with either the Gospel of Luke, Mark, or Mahew, and then go to some of the shorter books toward the end of the New Testament. (Don’t ignore the Old Testament, though!) You might even want to join a Catholic Bible study. Every teenager should have their own Bible. If you don’t have your own, let us know when you come to Life Teen and we will get you one. Life Teen is a high school youth ministry program here at Saint Kateri. It is open to all high school teenagers, it doesn't maer if they are Catholic or not. We meet for dinner a er the Saturday Vigil Mass in the classrooms below the Hall. For more informaon about Life Teen, please call Kelly Dunnahoo at (661) 755-2884.

"Bringing teens closer to Christ." At Life Teen, the teens are affirmed, educated, and challenged to live the Gospel. We begin every Saturday with the 5:30 pm Mass, followed by dinner and Life Night in Rooms 2 and 3 in Kateri Faith Center.
