THOUGHTS FOR TODAY
“For centuries the church has
confronted the human community
with role models of greatness. We
call them saints when what we
really often mean to say is ‘icon,’
‘star,’ ‘hero,’ ones so possessed by
an internal vision of divine
goodness that they give us a
glimpse of the face of God in the
center of the human. They give us
a taste of the possibilities of
greatness in ourselves.”
Joan D. Chittister
“Now the dead move through
all of us still glowing,
Mother and child, lover and
lover mated,
Are wound and bound
together and enflowing.
What has been plaited cannot
be unplaited—
Only the strands grow richer
with each loss
And memory makes kings and
queens of us.”
Mary Sarton “All Souls”

PASSING THE PEACE OF CHRIST
The Passing of the Peace is the oldest part of the Christian liturgy and is a special way we welcome
each other as brothers and sisters in Christ. At this time due to COVID, you are invited to participate
