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 />
