From the Diocese
Love God, Neighbor, Self. There are 613 Old Testament laws guiding
faithful behavior. The Exodus writer tells us some: do not molest or
oppress aliens, do not wrong widows and orphans, do to extort money
from the poor, do not, do not, do not. Jesus gives us a summary in two
laws (rooted in Deuteronomy 6:5 and Leviticus 19:18): (1) Love God
with everything you have and are and (2) Love the neighbor as your self.
What will I do to love a foreigner, an alien, someone not like me?
What will I do for someone who is poor, hungry, out of work?
What will I do?

The Sacraments with Bishop Robert Barron - Confirmation The sacrament of Confirmation is often underappreciated. If Confession is fear, Confirmation is sometimes forgotten. Yet like all the sacraments, it too is an encounter with Christ. Through it the Lord confirms us with the gifts of his Holy Spirit, thus enabling us to do Christ’s work. Throughout the ages, the ascended Jesus sends the Spirit for the transformation of souls and the transfiguration of the world. The next session Confirmation, part of The Sacraments DVD series with Bishop Robert Barron, will be held on Sunday, Oct. 25, 6:30 pm at the Sacred Heart Parish Hall, Virden. In conjunction with the DVD series, we will explore the doctrines of each sacrament as beautifully defined in the Catechism of the Catholic Church.
On October 28th the following students will have their First Reconciliation Josee Hart, Kadyn Joslin, Kaleb Joslin, Sean Starks, Colin Thoroman, and Katelyn Widner. Let’s say a prayer for
these young students.
Thanks to the St. Patrick’s Parish. For the cards, calls, flowers, visits and best wishes on my 100th birthday. Thanks, too, to Father James and Cindy Dorner for making me famous all through the land, and the Catholic Times. God blest me with a wonderful family. I will praise Him until my last breath.
