Believing the worst about someone as a reflex. I’ll do it Thanking God first thing in the morning--do it out loud, if you will. Won't that be great? write it midair with your finger or keep a paper journal.

Hoarding your time and money all for yourself; you'll be Listening more--first listen more to God (takes getting less lonely and anxious. used to!), then listen more to others.

Worrying. God has this, you don't. Saying night prayers. Search for "Compline". It takes about five minutes a night.

Thinking you know better than everyone else. As if! Reading more from the Bible. It's not leather-bound &

glam but it's free:

Advent Season is a wonderful time to make a good CONFESSION. Using the Sacrament reconciles our relationship with God, ourselves, and others. One aspect of making a good confession is making a good examination of conscience, in which we look at our lives and determine the different ways in which we have offended God. Here is a simple EXAMINATION OF CONSCIENCE: Have I treated people, events, or things as more important than God? Have my words, actively or passively, put down God, the Church, or people? Do I go to Mass every Sunday (or Saturday Vigil) and on Holy Days of Obligation? Do I avoid, when possible, work that impedes worship to God, joy for the Lord’s Day, and proper relaxation of mind and body? Do I look for ways to spend time with family or in service on Sunday? Do I show my parents due respect? Do I seek to maintain good communication with my parents where possible? Do I criticize them for lacking skills I think they should have? Have I harmed another through physical, verbal, or emotional means, including gossip or manipulation of any kind? Have I respected the physical and sexual dignity of others and of myself? Have I taken or wasted time or resources that belonged to another? Have I gossiped, told lies, or embellished stories at the expense of another? Have I honored my spouse with my full affection and exclusive love? Am I content with my own means and needs, or do I compare myself to others unnecessarily?

FATHER MAJOR WOULD AGAIN LIKE TO THANK the many people who have prayed, encouraged and fed him and Fr. Daro since his knee surgery this past October 30th. There has been a tremendous outpouring from people and he would like you all to know that Mass has been offered for your intentions. Progress towards healing has been ahead of schedule, thanks be to God and no further assistance with food is needed. Special thanks to Fr. Daro and Fr. Tom Walsh who have picked up the slack to cover daily and Sunday Masses.

“They shall beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks; one nation shall not raise the sword against another, y de las lanzas, podaderas; nor shall they train for war again. ya no alzará la espada pueblo contra pueblo,

O house of Jacob, come, ya no se adiestrarán para la guerra. let us walk in the light of the Lord!” Isaiah 2:5 ¡Casa de Jacob, en marcha!

St. James Elementary School (Pre-K-6th) NEWS FLASH: MARRIED PRIESTS? You may have seen a Sr. Mary Alma C.K., principal (402) 826- similar headline recently and wondered—what’s up? 2318 Celibate (unmarried) priests have been the norm in the Catholic Church for over half its history. In marts of the world with Eastern Rite Catholic churches (Egypt, Greece, Armenia) married men have been ordained priests since the earliest times.

One of the non-truths in the abortion debate is the notion that pro-life advocates care about the child in the womb and do nothing for pregnant women or for the children once born. The LDCCW OCTOBER PRO-LIFE DIAPER DRIVE is a great opportunity to support the women that choose life rather than abortion. Let’s all work together to make this Pro-Life Diaper Drive a great success. Listen to Spirit Catholic Radio for Diaper Drive announcements. The Drive continues through the end of October. The Centers we serve advise the Diaper sizes 4,5 & 6 are in greatest demand. Your diaper donations are greatly appreciated. Cash donations or checks made to the order of the Lincoln Diocesan Council of Catholic Women (LDCCW) will be accepted and should be mailed to the LDCCW President, Kay Wessel, 3600 W Wittstruck Rd, Martell, NE 68404.

A CURSILLO (pronounced kur-see-yo) is an encounter with Christ (the full name is “Cursillo de Christiandad”, meaning “a short course in Christianity”). As a child, you probably accepted your Catholic faith at an age-appropriate level, mainly because your parents expected you to accept their faith. But have you ever truly made that faith your own? Have you grown in your faith over the years, or is your faith pretty much what it was when you were younger? Cursillo offers the opportunity for personal growth in your faith, thus allowing you to better share your faith with others. 2019 Weekends are scheduled at Sacred Heart Parish in Hebron, NE, October 24-27, 2019 (Men) and November 7-10, 2019 (Women). The Weekend begins on Thursday evening and ends on Sunday evening. If you would like more information about Cursillo or the 2019 Weekends, call or email Greg Vandenberg, Men’s Weekend Coordinator (308-530-7587; [email protected]), or Kathy Springer, Women’s Weekend Coordinator (402-826-2699; [email protected]). There is also information on the Lincoln Diocese Cursillo webpage: http://www.seas- np.org/cursillolincoln.html.

ARE GHOSTS REAL? A couple times in the Bible humans who have died appear. King Saul asked the witch at Endor to bring the ghost of Samuel the prophet (1 Sam. 28:3–25). Read on to find out how God punished him for doing that: 1 Sam. 28:17-19. Judas Maccabeus (NOT Judas Iscariot) met the ghost of Onias the high priest in a vision in 2 Maccabees 15:11-17 and wasn’t punished, probably because it was a vision he didn’t go out looking for like King Saul. The Mother of God has appeared numerous times in history, as have other saints and angels. Let’s sort this out. The Catholic Catechism says trust God first and only about the future:

God can reveal the future to his prophets or to other saints. Still, a sound Christian attitude consists in putting oneself confidently into the hands of Providence for whatever concerns the future, and giving up all unhealthy curiosity about it. All forms of divination are to be rejected: recourse to Satan or demons, conjuring up the dead or other practices falsely supposed to "unveil" the future. Consulting horoscopes, astrology, palm reading, interpretation of omens and lots, the phenomena of clairvoyance, and recourse to mediums all conceal a desire for power over time, history, and, in the last analysis, other human beings, as well as a wish to conciliate hidden powers. They contradict the honor, respect, and loving fear that we owe to God alone. All practices of magic or sorcery, by which one attempts to tame occult powers, so as to place them at one's service and have a supernatural power over others - even if this were for the sake of restoring their health - are gravely contrary to the virtue of religion. These practices are even more to be condemned when accompanied by the intention of harming someone, or when they have recourse to the intervention of demons. Wearing charms is also reprehensible. Spiritism often implies divination or magical practices; the Church for her part warns the faithful against it. Recourse to so-called traditional cures does not justify either the invocation of evil powers or the exploitation of another's credulity. Catholic Catechism #2115-2117

They will do everything not to admit it, not to show it, but they need it; and not to find it opens wounds in them that are difficult to heal.’ Thank you to all Fathers for your sacrifice, and may God continue to bless you with his grace. But when he comes, the spirit of truth, he will guide Pero cuando venga el Espíritu de la verdad, el los ira you to all truth. John 16:13 guiando hasta la verdad plena. Juan 16:1
