Feast of St. Polycarp– Martyr Polycarp occupies an important place in the history of

the early Christian Church. He is among the earliest

Christians whose writings survived. Jerome wrote that

Polycarp was a "disciple of the apostle John and by

him ordained bishop of Smyrna". He was an elder of

an important congregation that was a large contribu-

tor to the founding of the Christian Church.

In this Sunday’s Gospel, we

find that Jesus “… went

around all of Galilee, teach-

ing in their synagogues, pro-

claiming the gospel of the

kingdom, and curing every disease and illness

among the people.”

Thanks to your prayers and financial gifts,

the Society of St. Vincent de Paul is able pro-

claim the good news of the kingdom to the poor,

by assisting families and individuals suffering the

effects of poverty in our community. We welcome

new members to learn about opportunities to

grow spiritually through person-to-person service

to those in need. Please call 833-1269 or visit

our website svdpminot.org to learn more. Have you considered joining the Society of St. Vin-

cent de Paul so that you can live your Baptism more fully?

Members seek to grow spiritually through person-to-person

service to others. Call us at 833-1269.

VOCATION VIEWS: Seek to follow Jesus, the humble servant. You will

be blessed! Discover the grace of the gospel.

(Zephaniah 2:3, 3:12-13 & Matthew 5:1-12)

STEWARDSHIP THOUGHTS The watchword today is “immediately.” Peter and

Andrew, James and John all respond immediately

to the call of Christ. May I be as open to God’s call

and as ready to use my talents in His service as

those first disciples were!

• Stewardship Thought: Stewardship involves a

change of heart, embodied not just in a single ac-

tion, nor even a series of actions, but in one’s en-

tire life

WORD OF LIFE May all who suffer from

participating in abortion

turn to God’s loving for-

giveness; We pray to the

Lord: Abortion affects

countless marriages, more

than many people recog-

nize. But God’s grace can

bring true healing in rela-

tionships. Learn more at
