PRAYER DURING THE HURRICANE SEASON

O Lord our God and Father, who gives rain and

sunshine to your children, we ask you, in this rainy

season, to uphold us and provide for our needs.

You try our patience and test our faith and reliance

on you; forgive our sin of ingratitude. So often

have we forgotten to thank you for your goodness

and acts of mercy.

Teach us to look up to you each day, appreciative

of rain and sunshine as you, in your wisdom,

through any kind of weather do feed us all.

In your mercy, protect us against hurricanes and

tropical storms. Pour out your blessings upon our

nation and our people, and make us grateful for the

weather we receive from your bountiful hand.

We make this prayer through Christ our Lord.

Amen.

ONE MINUTE CATECHISM

THE SACRAMENT OF HOLY ORDERS (CONT’D)

The Ordination of Deacons:

The third level of the Sacrament of Holy Orders is the diaconate.

Deacons assist priests and bishops, but beyond the preaching of the

Gospel, they are granted no special charism or spiritual gift.

In the Eastern Churches, both Catholic and Orthodox, the permanent

diaconate has been a constant feature. In the West, the office of dea-

con was reserved to men who intended to be ordained to the priest-

hood. The permanent diaconate was restored in the West by the Sec-

ond Vatican Council. Married men are allowed to become perma-

nent deacons.

The Sacrament of Holy Orders can be validly conferred only on

baptized men, following the example set by Christ and His Apostles,

who chose only men as their successors and collaborators. A man

cannot demand ordination. The Church has the authority to deter-

mine eligibility for the sacrament.

I WAS HUNGRY AND YOU GAVE ME TO EAT.

T his is the only parable in the whole of Jesus' teaching where

a character is given a name, Lazarus. The rich man has en-

joyed all the good things this earth has to offer; Lazarus has en-

joyed none of them. The Talmud refers to paradise or Abraham's

bosom as the home of the righteous; Hades the place to which

the unrighteous are sent. Lazarus goes to heaven/paradise; the

rich man to the other place.

A recurring theme in Luke's Gospel is the dangers of wealth.

But the rich man wasn't in hell simply because he was wealthy

but because of his selfish attitude towards the good things he

had. He simply didn't care about the poor; he cared only about

himself. It was his selfishness which sent him to hell. Rather

amusingly, so entrenched is he in his own thinking and so wed-

ded to his own class system that, even when he can see Lazarus

enjoying the blessings of heaven, he still regards the former beg-

gar as his errand boy, asking first that he bring a drop of water to

cool his tongue and then that he go and warn his brothers of the

fate that awaits them. His conceit, arrogance and lack of com-

passion for the poor continue into eternity.

There is a tragedy running through the parable. After death he

begins to experience a change of heart. He wants to warn his

nearest and dearest so that they can avoid his fate, but it is too

late. His request is denied because the Law and the Prophets

make clear what God requires: to love Him and our fellowmen.

Today is the day of salvation, today is the day to believe that

Jesus is the Resurrection, the Life, the Way and the Truth. (excerpt catholic-bible-school.org)
