PASTOR'S MESSAGE:

We Are All Missionaries th

On 20 October, all over the world we celebrate the 'Mission Sunday'. These men and women who have left their families, security, comfort in order to proclaim the gospel to the whole world. These men and women have taken seriously the commission of Jesus to go and make disciples of all nations. We celebrate their heroic witness to faith, love for Jesus Christ and the Church and their deep love for all people.

When we hear the words 'Mission Sunday' we often ask rhetorically 'can the appeal for money be far behind? The answer is “no�. We appeal for money to support the missions. We ask you to give generously and become engaged in the works of the missions and share in the missionary work of the Church. Today we have the opportunity to pay a call on the generous help and be a part of this missionary effort. What is most significant in what each of us do by our prayers and offerings is that we won't enjoy immediate results or public recognition. Responding to Mission Sunday is a great act of faith in our giving and praying the good that we participate is hidden from our eyes. What we sow today will be reaped by others on some distant place. We must be content with the belief that God's grace will multiply our generosity and prayers, so the word of the gospel will continue and grow.

We can in our own way can make a significant way, even today, by our own exemplary lives. God has given us our body, and we can use our mind, ears, eyes, tongue, heart, hands to proclaim Christ. Whether in our homes where we live, in schools and colleges where we learn, in offices where we work, in the Church and society where we can be a true witness. People who look at us, see the radiating Christ. This Christ in us will bring many people more closer to Him. Even the non-believers will be drawn towards Him. Jesus clearly indicates that in our missionary work, we are protected by the Father's love. Be a good missionary and God will bless you hundredfold!

THE RICH HARVEST -Lourenco D Mendonรงa Recently the Parish Council was sworn in by our Church Authorities for the parish of St. Diogo, Guirim Sangolda. Many new, some old. A diverse group of talented and willing parishioners, selected , elected or co-opted, willing to take the plunge - a call to work in the vineyard of the Lord. These are the works of the Holy Spirit. Other wise how can one explain the coming together of young and old, woman and man shouldering the responsibility of the building of God's Kingdom. A true witness of Jesus Christ!

In the Gospel of St. Luke we see Jesus send out his disciples. 'Go and spread the good news that the Kingdom of God is at hand. ' Jesus warns there will be wolves and sheep there. Go with nothing and you will be rewarded much. Jesus knew better. There was no time for sending his followers to seminaries and noviciates for training. Just three years of his public ministry was all that he had to teach The Word of God. The Holy Spirit anchored the disciples in the heart and mind of The Father, to discern the Word of God. The day of salvation of mankind was closing in very fast. His followers would have to stand before the rich and mighty, the poor and downtrodden, the learned and the illiterate. To speak The Word of God with wisdom and courage.

They are the light kept high on the pedestal, the salt of the earth, the twinkling star in the night sky. Branches deeply rooted in the fig tree.

The choice is ours. Either we act like the proverbial Levite or the publican or the good Samaritan. Let not the wolf in us frighten the harbinger of the good news away from our door step. Let all of us be the labourers for the harvest in prayer, dialogue and generosity. As Pope Francis says " Even behind the things that are not so good, there is something that will bring us to some truth. Never be scared. " Let's pray for the Parish Council members and our parishioners.

That our holy homes, however poor or rich, arrogant or humble, messy or confused as some of them may be, for it is there that our God truly lives. Let all of us together acknowledge the holiness of these homes; for there will the harvest be rich indeed.

Hobbies Enrich Our Lives Some persons are identified by their hobbies. Hobbies give you status and they enrich our lives. Some are useful hobbies, while a few are not. Many people earn their living by making use of their hobbies. They make you popular. Hobbies if you have in life, you can use your time wisely. And make it fruitful. And you'll enjoy living!

-Reina D'Souza Being a sports lover, I enjoy football in particular. Football for me is everything. From my childhood, I was interested in this game. My parents always say that if you want to achieve something in life, you have to work hard. You not enjoy your hobbies, but using them you can achieve your aim in life. Always trust God, and you'll be someone in life.

-Benson Cardozo I am fond of acting. I started to act when I was in the school. I also took part in programmes organised by our Catechetical Association. I often watch others acting and that has helped me to act better. My parents encourage me to act, and they appreciate my acting. I feel happy when others also appreciate me. With this encouragement I feel I can move forward in life.

-Rosewan Pereira According to me, hobby is using one's time for a definite purpose. Any sports that is, I enjoy it. And I enjoy to be on the sports field. I also put my feelings on paper in art form. I use my leisure time for reading. I also like to read the Word of God. my hobbies have become the part of my life.

-Alister Fernandes Oh! How I love to dance! When I was a little girl, I was fond of dancing. When I dance I forget everything and, concentrate on my dancing. Dancing has helped me to find a new person in me.

It instils confidence in you. Dancing also keeps me healthy.

Dancing will always remain a part of my life. It is a kind of sport that every generation enjoys.

“Let The Children Come To Me�

Mt. 19:14 We the Altar Servers of Guirim-Sangolda attended Half-Day Seminar at the St. Xavier's Ark, Mapusa. We were 18 of us with Mrs. Arlinda Lawrence to guide us. We entered the ark and than we did the registration. We were given our places. We had some action songs, we danced and enjoyed. After we had 2 talks one was on our love and the other was how to grow as a altar server in the Church. In the second talk we reflected on punctuality, confidence, courage, good communication skills, knowledge, positive attitude, togetherness, patience and taking responsibility. Later we were given lunch. Many parishes took part. It was a memorable day for us.

In remembrance of

MAMELTA FERNANDES Birthday and Death Anniversary th th 17 October 13 November Our hearts still ache in sadness and secret tears still flow, What it meant to lose you no one will ever know.

Not even a billion words can fully describe how much we miss you.

You were truly our life's greatest treasure.

Those we love don't go away, they walk beside us everyday.

Unseen, unheard, but always near, still loved, still missed and forever dear.

Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, Love leaves a memory no one can steal.

A tribute of love from her husband LAUNCELOT. Children and grandchildren

Perxet - Guirim 16
