Thank You

OCTOBER 5TH Do you enjoy bathing in the sun but sometimes get burned if you stay in it too long? I can show you SON bathing that PREVENTS burning! I’m talking about the Son of God, Jesus, present in the Most Blessed Sacrament 24/7. if you bathe in this Son, even an hour, your soul will get healthier so that you won’t burn. So come and join us for Mass at noon, and immediately after Mass, bathe in Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament on the first Friday of each month starting in September as we pray for one another, our parish and our world.

Come for one hour or half an hour or fifteen minutes or just stop by and tell Jesus “hello” and that you love Him and thank Him for all He has given you. We will be praying the rosary at 2:30 pm and the Chaplet of Divine Mercy at 3 pm and will have silent prayer and adoration until 5 pm.

You can never give back to Him all that He has given us because He loves us. Won’t you

please give Jesus one hour a month? He waits silently in the Tabernacle for us to keep Him company.

There will be a sign-up sheet in the back of the church.

A Message from Fr. Thomas Anatharackal CST

24rd Sunday In Ordinary Time

Who is Jesus for you - and what difference does he make in your life? Many in Israel recognized Jesus as a mighty man of God, even comparing him with the greatest of the prophets. Peter, always quick to respond whenever Jesus spoke, professed that Jesus was truly the "Christ of God" - "the Son of the living God". No mortal being could have revealed this to Peter, but only God. Through the "eyes of faith" Peter discovered who Jesus truly was. Peter recognized that Jesus was much more than a great teacher, prophet, and miracle worker. Peter was the first apostle to publicly declare that Jesus was the Anointed One, conse-crated by the Father and sent into the world to redeem a fallen human race enslaved to sin and cut off from eternal life with God. The word for "Christ" in Greek is a translation of the Hebrew word for "Messiah" - both words literally mean the Anointed One.

Jesus told his disciples that it was necessary for the Messiah to suffer and die in order that God's work of redemption might be accomplished. How startled the disciples were when they heard this word. How different are God's thoughts and ways from our thoughts and ways! It was through humiliation, suffer-ing, and death on the cross that Jesus broke the powers of sin and death and won for us eternal life and free-dom from the slavery of sin and from the oppression of our enemy, Satan. If we want to share in the victory of the Lord Jesus, then we must also take up our cross and follow where he leads us. What is the "cross" that you and I must take up each day? When my will crosses with God's will, then His will must be done. The Holy Spirit gives us faith to know the Lord Jesus personally as our Redeemer, and the power to live the Gospel faithfully, and the courage to witness to others the joy, truth, and freedom of the Gospel. Who do you say that Jesus is?
