“God doesn’t call us to church on Sundaybecause he has some egotistical need for us all to
fall down before him and worship him at ten o’clock every Sunday morning. It isn’t designed to help
him; it’s designed to help us.It isn’t intended to make him happy;
it’s intended to allow us to share in his happiness.The Mass is filled with riches. It is an unfathomable
gift.Embrace the gift.”
–Matthew Kelly
“Remember you have only one soul; that you have only one death to die; that you have only one life,
which is short and has to be lived by you alone; and there is only one glory, which is eternal. If you do this, there will be a great many things about which
you care nothing.” – St. Theresa of Avila
We need to show each other grace, cut each other some slack.
Treat others the way you want to be treated.“Why do you see the speck in your neighbor’s eye,but do not notice the log in your own eye?” Matthew 7:3
I try each day when encountering people to see the little child within. On my window sill near my mirror I have a small photo of myself when I was a child. Each morning I look at that picture and I think how innocent and pure I was, and I ask God to help me see that in others. When I receive the Eucharist I envision God, Jesus, Holy Spirit, Mary, Joseph, all the angels, and saints embracing me wrapped in a soft pure white blanket, not as the adult I am but as that small child.
Thank You and GOD BLESSall those who help count and deposit our weekend contributions.
Your time is much appreciated!
Oh, Holy Angel at my side, go to church for me.Kneel in my place at Holy Mass, where I desire to
be.At Offertory in my stead, take all I am and own,and place it as a sacrifice upon the altar Throne.At Holy Consecration’s bell, adore with seraph’s
love,my Jesus, hidden in the Host, come down from
heaven above. Then pray for those I dearly love, and those who cause me grief, that Jesus’ Blood
may cleanse all heartsand suffering souls relieve.
And when the priest Communion takes,oh, bring my Lord to me.
That his sweet heart may rest on mine and I his temple be.
Pray that this Sacrifice Divine may mankind’s sins erase,
then bring me Jesus’ blessing home, the pledge of every grace. Amen.
No act of virtue can be great
if it is not followed by advantage for others.So, no matter how much time you spend fasting,no matter how much you sleep on a hard floor
and eat ashes and sigh continually,if you do no good to others, you do nothing great.
Saint John Chrysostom
If no priest is available, a Communion Service,with consecrated hosts, will be held.
This will fulfill your Sunday obligation.Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Weather has such an impact on your emotional state on any given day. How you embrace the weather has a direct impact on your day. It does not matter if it is raining or sunny, it only matters how you embrace what is given to you each day.
Sun – Feel the warmth of the early morning sunrise. Embrace the beauty of the rays as they shed light on the trees and dew on the grass. Clinch the warmth and place it in your heart.Rain – Listen to the music of the drops as they hit your house, car or umbrella.
