“For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh. So they are no longer two but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, no human being must separate.” - Mark 10:7-9
Archbishop Fulton Sheen said, “It takes three to make love, not two: you, your spouse, and God.” Apart from the incarnation of God in Jesus Christ, nothing speaks better of God’s incarnate love than marriage. God designed it this way. We place great value on love and rightly so. What we fail to realize, however, is that love, its very presence and place in our lives, is not simply part of the human package deal. Love comes from God. It is one of God’s greatest gifts to human beings. When we begin to realize that our very ability to love is sacred, it changes up how we see the essence of life, and purpose and sanctity of marriage. God is love. It stands to reason then that if we follow the path of unconditional, self-emptying love we will then stumble upon God. It is precisely this intimate wedding of God with love that gives such eloquence and honor to the love between husband and wife. As a living sign of Christ’s love for the Church and for humanity, husbands and wives speak volumes of God’s unconditional incarnate love for all of his children! The Divine power that brings unity and life to marriage is so strong that once joined, it really cannot be separated. Admittedly, marriage covenants can be extremely difficult to negotiate and, at times, very painful to experience. God’s perfect divinity always meets our broken and imperfect humanity. God is okay with this setup as he created it this way. Our loving is never as unconditional as God’s and often tainted by our own imperfections, needs, memories, hurts, sinfulness, and weakness. All of this baggage negatively impacts even the most well-intentioned marriages, causing them to be hurtful and empty. We are love works in progress. God can succeed in perfecting our love only if we keep our eyes fixed on him as the source of that love. That’s why marriage is always about three and not just two.

WE ARE ENTERING OUR 15TH YEAR OF THE PRAYER BLANKET MINISTRY. THIS MINISTRY HAS BEEN BLESSED TO PROVIDE PRAYER BLANKETS TO
THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WITHIN AND OUTSIDE OF OUR PARISH OVER THE PAST YEARS.
Just want to let you all know that Your Prayer Blanket Ministry is alive and well. The past year has certainly curtailed the presentation of the prayer blankets on the altar and the ability for all of you to pray upon them. COVID has certainly changed a lot of how we did things in the past. Prayer Blankets are available for those who are in need of one. They have been blessed and prayed upon and are available for pick up from our home. To request a blanket, please call 504-259-6003. The pick up address is 6323 General Haig. Please be sure to call before coming to pick up so the Prayer Blanket can be put out for you.
We are always in need of donations to help buy material. If you would like to help with a donation for fabric and supplies, please let us know.
Stay safe and well.
Debbie and Ron Landry
October, traditionally observed as Respect Life Month, is a time for Catholics to reflect more deeply on the sacred dignity of all human life. Every one of us is called to cherish and protect those among us who are most vulnerable, from conception to life's natural end and at all points in between. May we all recommit ourselves to be people who support the dignity of human life. Let us pray that during this Respect Life Month, and always, we will be strengthened in our efforts to promote the gift of every human person.
