At the same time, Luke is suggesting to his audience that there will be a considerable elapse of time before Jesus' final coming. Luke's listeners have likely seen much upheaval and are anxious to know if these are the signs of Jesus' coming. Luke is urging greater patience. In the second part of today's Gospel, Jesus warns that his followers will face persecution for their beliefs. Luke presents persecution as an opportunity for the followers of Jesus for It will lead to your giving testimony (Luke 21:13). In persecution God's wisdom and power will be shown in the example of followers of Jesus. Perseverance in the face of persecution will lead to their salvation. Here Jesus is assuring his followers that God is present to all believers, even in times of trouble. Ultimately, Jesus will witness to this with his own death. As disciples of Jesus, we try to follow his example, trusting in God's mercy and protection, even when we are facing difficulties. Retrieved from http://www.loyolapress.com

Movie Review
Enders Game
By John P. McCarthy Catholic News Service NEW YORK (CNS) -- On its surface, "Ender's Game" (Summit) appears to be another futuristic science-fiction movie in which the fate of humanity hinges on the outcome of an epic battle waged in space. Countless aircraft will be obliterated and the hero will overcome significant adversity in order to vanquish a pernicious alien enemy. Not so fast. Those unfamiliar with the source material, Orson Scott Card's 1985 book of the same name, will be surprised to discover a film appreciably more thoughtful and daring. Admirers of the book will likely emerge pleased, even if the adaptation doesn't live up to all their expectations. Thematically, what elevates "Ender's Game" is that it offers a searching look at the morality of war and the unthinking manner in which it is often waged. It targets our more bellicose instincts, specifically, the tendency to strike first and ask questions later. The story rests on the premise, prescient in 1985, that warfare in the near future will be so altered by technology that children will be better equipped to conduct it than adults. As one character says, "Young people integrate complex data better than adults." In other words, all that time spent playing video games, using computers and staring at the LED screens on electronic devices is ideal preparation for military action. But there's more to becoming an effective fighter than digital dexterity and comfort in the virtual realm; other skills and sensitivities are required. Because he possesses these elusive qualities, 12-year-old Ender Wiggin (Asa Butterfield) is chosen to lead the Earth's military, the International Fleet, against an alien species called Formics. Fifty years earlier, the Formics tried to colonize the planet and were repelled thanks to the exploits of legendary pilot Mazer Rackham (Ben Kingsley). Since that war, in which tens of millions perished, mankind has been assiduously preparing for a second invasion attempt. Col. Hyrum Graff (Harrison Ford), who oversees recruitment and training for the military, brings Ender to Battle School, located in a facility orbiting Earth, where trainees study and carry out mock team exercises. Ender excels and is promoted to Command School, where Rackham becomes his mentor. There, Ender and other elite fighters conduct an exhaustive battery of simulations in preparation for a showdown with the Formics. Impressively limned by Butterfield, Ender is able to combine empathy and tactical killer instinct. His ability to understand what his opponent is thinking gives rise to his strategic brilliance, but he's troubled by the ruthlessness his compassion enables. Director and screenwriter Gavin Hood faced a major challenge having to condense the complicated story for the screen. He focuses on Ender's maturation and interaction with his peers during their training and the story seems overweighed toward the buildup to the climactic battle. The visual effects, while not mind-blowing, are admirably clear and often elegant; the filmmakers should be applauded for not resorting to Imax or 3-D formats. A key to the movie's success is that, unlike many of this ilk, it doesn't undercut its salubrious message by trying to have it both ways -- by endorsing what it also cautions against. The anti-war motif is the end game, so to speak. One plot feature concerning population control and a limit on the number of children families are permitted will trouble Catholic viewers. As for other objectionable elements, because warfare is conducted remotely and largely by drones, there's nothing problematic in that context. Skirmishes between the young trainees are hard-hitting yet not excessive or graphic. The film contains a number of scenes with fighting and bullying behavior among teenagers, several classroom slurs, some scary imagery, some mild innuendo, and one use of crass language. The Catholic News Service classification is A-II -- adults and adolescents. The Motion Picture Association of America rating is PG-13 -- parents strongly cautioned. Some material may be inappropriate for children under 13. Retrieved from http://www.catholicnews.com/

It offers answers and guidance to the divorced/separated through an emotional healing and the power of forgiveness, and into a more vibrant relationship with Christ and the Church. A series of DVD presentations from "The Catholics Divorce Survival" by Rose Sweet addresses such important issues as Finding the Right Direction, Getting Through your Anger, Learring to Forgive, Dealing with Family, The church's teaching on Annulment, (It's not a Catholic Divorce), Handling Money Wisely and more. The DVD presentations are given by noted Catholic professionals and clergy. The healing power of Christ through His Church and the Sacraments will relate to your heartache and lead you to hope. This is not a therapy group, but is guided by trained peer facilitators who have similar life experiences and are willing to share their time and talent to help others. The Catholic Church welcomes you with open loving arms. This 11 week session will begin on Sept. 29. We meet on Sunday afternoons from 1:45-3:45 in the large conference room. All participants must register in advance to facilitate purchasing books. The cost is $20. For more information please contact Sharon at smparr@gmail.com, 706860-2977 or Eliel at Lima2434@Comcast.net. 706-733-4862. Scholarships and Childcare is available.

St. Michaels Book of the Dead

Praying for the dead is a Christian obligation. In the modern world, when many have come to doubt the Church's teaching on Purgatory, the need for such prayers has only increased. The Church devotes the month of November to prayer for the Holy Souls in Purgatory, and participation in the Mass of All Souls Day is a good way to begin the month. The Book of the Dead will be at the main entrance of the chapel beginning November 1st. Please enter the names of your beloved dead. We will lift them in prayer at each mass.

DESIGNATED OFFERING
St. Michaels is conducting a designated offering on December 7 -8 for the Philippines Typhoon Relief through the AMS. Please know that this offering was requested by St Michaels Parish Council and approved by the CPBAC this month.
Parish Council Financial Advisor, Al Calvi

Attention EMEs, Lectors and Ushers

The parish has recently purchased a new software to make easier to update online our liturgical schedules, and ministry coverage in case of need. This new tool requires ministers to have access to Internet. As we begin with this transition, we ask you to confirm your email address with the Liturgy Schedule coordinator, Brian Musha. Having your accurate email is essential to communicate with you. Thank you in advance for your help! Please, send your email to Mr. Musha, lemuschedule@saintmichaelparihsfg.org

Requesting Sacramental Certification through the Military Archdiocese

Unlike a conventional diocese, the Archdiocese of the Military Services (AMS) has no parishes or parish registries. Because military chapels are United States Government property, the maintenance of all records of sacraments performed on U.S. Military Installations are maintained by the AMS. This starkly contrasts the model used in diocesan parishes where all sacraments are recorded in the parish registry. The AMS currently maintains over 2.6 million records of sacraments performed on military installations" (Retrieved from http://www.milarch.org).

Pastoral Visitations
There is simply no place more appropriate than the home for pastors to interact with their parishioners in a personal manner. And this holds true whether such interaction is for the purpose of leading a person to Christ, reclaiming a lost soul, or offering support and guidance. For this reason, our Pastor, Father Joseph would like to start Pastoral Visitations to give parishioners the opportunity of meeting and knowing him. He would like to visit parishioners homes twice a week, so if you are interested in receiving the special visit of our Pastor, please contact the PLC Lola Rivera to schedule a Pastoral visitation @ (706) 791-4829, or plc@saintmichaelparishfg.org. Father Joseph is looking forward to visit your home, talk and pray with you and your family in earnestness and humility.

Matrimony
Arrangements for marriage preparation should be made at least six months in advance of the proposed date. If there has been a prior marriage that has not been annulled by the Catholic Church, more time may be required. Participation in a marriage preparation workshop/program is required. Initially, all requests of information should be directed to the Catholic Pastor at (267) 243-5861.

Confessions
Private confessions at St. Michaels are available for you before Mass on Saturdays 4pm and Sundays at 8am in the confessional box located in the Blessed Sacrament Chapel, but also face-to-face and by appointment at your convenience. Confessions are available in Spanish when Father Joseph celebrates mass.
