Pastor's Note
Faith, Hope, and Love Week is an ecumenical mission-service week that is sponsored for churches in our area. It is a way for families to participate in a Christian outreach to the poor. Its purpose is also to show people that although there is great value and necessity in international relief work, we can start right here in our own back yard. . . [more]
Reflection of the Week
Usually, when we fi nd life a continuous struggle and we become stressed out and depressed, we never think that the problem might be within us rather than circumstances around us. Jesus has told us what to do when we fi nd life burdensome - come to him and be refreshed. There will always be problems and things we fi nd diffi cult but they don’t have to overwhelm us. Take time to just sit with the Lord and pour out your heart to him. Ask for the grace to see clearly what you can do and to accept what you cannot change. A peaceful spirit will enable you to endure any storm.
The Lord lifts up all who are falling and raises up all who are bowed down. ~ Psalm 145:14

Lord, source of eternal life and truth, give to your shepherd Benedict XVI
a spirit of courage and right judgement, a spirit of knowledge and love.
By governing with fidelity those entrusted to his care, may he, as successor
to the Apostle Peter and Vicar of Christ, build your Church into a sacrament
of unity, love and peace for all the world. We ask this through our Lord Jesus
Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one
God, for ever and ever. Amen.
(Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be)
