Dear Sisters and Brothers in the

Lord,

Twenty-eighth Sunday in Ordinary

Time.

Congratulations to Khylenn

He is the great-grandson of Stephanie

Edwards. Congratulations!

Also, congratulations to Patty

fifth wedding anniversary last Sunday

Congratulations!

program for two weeks. At this time

we have not set a start date for our

parish to review this material,

however, in the interim, you can check

out their programing at:

The focus of the readings today

tells us that around the table of the

Lord, we find our deepest and truest

identity.

Yours in Christ,

Reflection: October 11, 2020

Don’t Kill the Messenger!

We have another Kingdom of

God/Heaven parable today. It is

about being gracious and

prepared. Who, in a right mind, would

snub a gracious invitation to a

feast? Who, in a right mind, would kill

the messenger? It happened to

Jesus. We should not be surprised

when it happens to us in little or big

ways. Still, we must announce: “Come

to the feast, come to the

Kingdom.” The required wedding

garment in this gospel feast reminds us,

who live in this Kingdom of God, to

always imagine we wear our baptismal

cloths; and, thus, always remember to

act as faithful disciples.

Vocations

Almighty

Father: You

have created

for us some definite purpose. Grant

us the grace to know the path You

have planned for us in this life and

to respond with a generous “Yes.”

Make our archdiocese, parishes,

homes and hearts fruitful ground for

Your gift of vocations. May our

young people respond to Your call

with courage and zeal. Stir among

our men a desire and the strength to

be good and holy priests. Bless us

with consecrated religious and those

Lord. Amen.
