PRAYER BEFORE AN ELECTION<br />

Lord God, as the election approaches,<br />

we seek to better understand the issues and concerns that confront<br />

our city/state/country,<br />

and how the Gospel compels us to respond as faithful citizens<br />

in our community.<br />

We ask for eyes that are free from blindness<br />

so that we might see each other as brothers and sisters,<br />

one and equal in dignity, especially those who are victims<br />

of abuse and violence, deceit and poverty.<br />

We ask for ears that will hear the cries of children unborn<br />

and those abandoned,<br />

Men and women oppressed because of race or creed,<br />

religion or gender.<br />

We ask for minds and hearts that are open to hearing the voice<br />

of leaders who will bring us closer to your Kingdom.<br />

We pray for discernment<br />

so that we may choose leaders who hear your Word,<br />

live your love, and keep in the ways of your truth<br />

as they follow in the steps of Jesus and his Apostles<br />

and guide us to your Kingdom of justice and peace.<br />

We ask this in the name of your Son Jesus Christ<br />

and through the power of the Holy Spirit.<br />

Amen.<br />

FEATURE STORY<br />

Mass of Thanksgiving honoring all military is Nov. 11<br />

<strong>St</strong>. <strong>Thomas</strong> <strong>More</strong> Parish will honor and remember veterans and active military personnel at the 10 a.m. Mass Sunday,<br />

Nov. 11, Veterans Day. Fellowship Sunday hosted by the STM Parish Décor Committee and Sacristans will follow in the<br />

activity center.<br />

This special Mass of Thanksgiving will be celebrated in memory of those who gave their lives in active duty, in honor of<br />

those who served and are no longer with us, in appreciation of veterans who are still living, and in recognition of the<br />

men and women who serve in today’s United <strong>St</strong>ates Armed Forces.<br />

All veterans, retired military and active service men and women will be invited to the sanctuary steps by branch of<br />

service for a special blessing at the end of Mass and will exit the church in the recessional procession. Participants are<br />

encouraged to wear something symbolic of their service.<br />

Boy Scout Troop 229 Service Project / Fundraiser<br />

Submitted by Chris Alumbaugh, Assistant Senior Patrol Leader, Boy Scout Troop 229<br />

In celebration of Veterans Day, Boy Scout Troop 229 will<br />

conduct a service project of collecting worn or weathered flags<br />

for proper retirement. In accordance with the United <strong>St</strong>ates<br />

Flag Code, American flags should be retired “when it is in such<br />

condition that it is no longer a fitting emblem of display.” All<br />

flags collected will be respectfully retired at a future Boy Scout<br />

ceremony. Keeping with tradition, the grommets of each<br />

retired flag will be given to military personnel in honor of their service to our<br />

country. In conjunction with this service project, the Scouts will have a<br />

fundraiser by offering new flags for purchase. New 3’ x 5’ embroidered flags<br />

will be available for $15. Scouts will be present at the Saturday evening and all<br />

Sunday Masses, Nov.10-11, to collect old flags and to sell replacement flags.<br />

Flags will be available before the Veterans Day weekend in the parish office<br />

(payable by check to BSA Troop 229) if you would like to get yours early.<br />

Year of Faith – Our Capacity for God<br />

(Catechism of the <strong>Catholic</strong> <strong>Church</strong>, 27 – 49)<br />

The desire for God is written in the<br />

human heart, because man is created by<br />

God and for God; and God never ceases<br />

to draw man to himself. Only in God<br />

will he find the truth and happiness he<br />

never stops searching for. (CCC 27) <strong>St</strong>.<br />

Augustine explains, “You are great, O<br />

Lord, and greatly to be praised: great is<br />

your power and your wisdom is without<br />

measure. And man, so small a part of your creation, wants to praise you: this<br />

man, though clothed with mortality and bearing the evidence of sin and the<br />

proof that you withstand the proud. Despite everything, man, though but a<br />

small a part of your creation, wants to praise you. You yourself encourage<br />

him to delight in your praise, for you have made us for yourself, and our<br />

heart is restless until it rests in you.” Created in God's image and called to<br />

know and love him, the person who seeks God discovers certain ways of<br />

coming to know him.<br />

We can rest in God by coming to know Him through creation, other people,<br />

Sacred Scripture, liturgical worship and private prayer. These are just a few<br />

of the endless ways <strong>Catholic</strong>s can grow in their relationship with God and<br />

“rest” in Him. It would be easy to hear God in the obvious, but as we learn<br />

from 1 Kings 19:11-12, “Then the LORD said [to Elijah]: Go out and stand on<br />

the mountain before the LORD; and the LORD will pass by. There was a<br />

strong and violent wind rending the mountains and crushing rocks before the<br />

LORD—but the LORD was not in the wind; after the wind, an earthquake—<br />

but the LORD was not in the earthquake; after the earthquake, fire—but the<br />

LORD was not in the fire; after the fire, a light silent sound.” May we stay<br />

still long enough to hear God in the silence of our hearts.<br />

Voter’s Guide for Serious <strong>Catholic</strong>s<br />

©2004 <strong>Catholic</strong> Answers<br />

To conclude the Faithful Citizenship series here<br />

are some guidelines from the Voter’s Guide for<br />

Serous <strong>Catholic</strong>s:<br />

For each office, first determine how each candidate stands on each of the<br />

five non-negotiable issues. The non-negotiable issues are abortion, euthanasia,<br />

embryonic stem cell research, human cloning, and same-gender “marriage.”<br />

These are intrinsically evil and must never be promoted by the law.<br />

Eliminate from consideration candidates who are wrong on any of the nonnegotiable<br />

issues. No matter how right they may be on other issues, they<br />

should be considered disqualified if they are wrong on even one of the nonnegotiables.<br />

Choose from among the remaining candidates, based on your assessment<br />

of each candidate's views on other, lesser issues.<br />

Do not base your vote on your political party affiliation, your earlier voting<br />

habits, or your family's voting tradition. You need to look at each candidate as<br />

an individual. This means that you may end up casting votes for candidates<br />

from more than one party.<br />

Do not cast your vote based on candidates’ appearance, personality, or<br />

“media savvy.”<br />

Do not vote for candidates simply because they declare themselves to be<br />

<strong>Catholic</strong>. Unfortunately, many self-described <strong>Catholic</strong> candidates reject basic<br />

<strong>Catholic</strong> moral teaching.<br />

Do not choose among candidates based on "What's in it for me?" Make<br />

your decision based on which candidates seem most likely to promote the<br />

common good, even if you will not benefit directly or immediately from the<br />

legislation they propose.<br />

Do not reward with your vote candidates who are right on lesser issues but<br />

who are wrong on key moral issues. Candidates need to learn that being wrong<br />

on even one of the non-negotiable issues is enough to exclude them from<br />

consideration.<br />

In some political races, each candidate takes a wrong position on one or<br />

more of the five non-negotiables. In such a case you may vote for the candidate<br />

who takes the fewest such positions or who seems least likely to be able to<br />

advance immoral legislation or you may choose to vote for no one.<br />

Conscience is like an alarm. It warns you when you are about to do<br />

something wrong. It does not itself determine what is right or wrong. For your<br />

conscience to work properly, it must be properly informed-that is, you must<br />

inform yourself about what is right and what is wrong. Only then will your<br />

conscience be a trusted guide.<br />
