Pastors Corner
Many of our Middle School, High School and
college students experience classmates doing really bad
things involving disrespect of others as well as disrespect
for their own bodies. Our young people often feel that they
are surrounded by people who act as though there are no
consequences for their selfishness. They, and all of us for
that matter, are tempted to think that since our own sins
are not as horrible as those around us, we do not need to be
concerned about the consequences. I often tell them that it
is the good kid who stumbles just once that is often seated
in the back seat of the police car while the ones who are
habitual offenders look on and laugh. Their actions,
although more frequent and worst, do not lesson the gravity
of the actions of the one in that back seat. I am sure many
of us, beginning with me, have said to the police officer who
stops us for speeding, “But I was not going as fast as the
other cars,” only to hear, “You were still speeding.” Our
actions are judged in themselves, not in relationship to the
actions of others. In the end, as Blessed Mother Theresa
said, we will be judged by how well we have loved.
Not only are we called to take responsibility for our
actions, we are also called to recognize the consequences of
our inaction. That is what we all need to do. We need to
ask God to help us fight against anything that is keeping us
from giving our best to His people. He has entrusted His
vineyard, His Kingdom to us. We need to produce.
But we cannot do this alone. Nor do we have to. God is
present with His Grace to help us fight off the temptations
to push Him aside. We receive communion weekly for the
strength to care for His vineyard.

I am pleased to announce that on the third Sunday of each
month we will be taking up a special collection for the
support of our sister parish in Malawi. They are working

The following is a quote from the Vocations page on the
Diocese of Fort Worth website: "To be called by God means to
be beheld and to respond to the voice of the Creator. There is no
single greater call than the persistent and enduring design of
God. ..... A vocation therefore, is to respond repeatedly to the
voice of our Father in heaven and to spread the flame of love all
over the world."
When we as Catholics look at our life's work in the perspective
of "a response to the voice of our Father," we have a stronghold,
a foundation for our being. To assist in creating a solid founda-
tion, our parish is forming a Vocations Committee to encourage
prayer and an organized support of our young parishioners as
they discern their calling to priestly, religious life, single, or
married vocations. Please join us, pray with us, as we initiate
the Vocations Committee of our parish, Monday, October 27,
7:00pm. in the Parish Office Board Room. For more
information contact Father Tom, Seminarian Steve, at the
Parish Office or Sharon Pelzel (940)391-3697.
