October is beloved for many reasons: leaves, the Rosary, football... Wait! Football?! Yes! This year’s Reclaiming Sundays focus reminds us to pray, rest, and recreate. For many, that means football.

Pour out the same Holy Spirit on these elect,
who long for Your sacraments.
Guide them along the paths of right faith,
safe from error, doubt, and unbelief,
so that with eyes unsealed
they may come to see You face to face,
for You live and reign forever. Amen.
