Pope Francis’ Tweet of the Week “The love of God is expressed in the tender tears of Jesus. As He

cried for Jerusalem, so He cries for each of us when we don’t allow ourselves to be loved. This is God’s tender love.” 10/31/19

Prayer Ministry A Prayer to St. Francis Xavier by Luke Rothan

Help me become a hero— One who executes both spiritual and physical feats; One who gives himself up to be a part of something greater; One who departs on a journey and returns changed. Help me to emphasize the magis— One who does his best in every area; One who strives to be great in all aspects of his life. Help me become a person with and for others— One who respects himself as well as others; One who performs deeds not for himself, but for others. Help me become a leader— One who persuades others to do the right thing; One who guides others through action, not talk. We pray to you for help, St. Xavier. Amen.

St. Francis Xavier…….pray for us

Please remember in your prayers all whose who are suffering and in need of healing. May God bring peace and healing of mind,

soul and body to all those in need of His mercy. Also, remember in your prayers all those who have died and their

grieving families. May God grant them the fullness of life and love in Heaven.

To add someone to our prayer list contact, Joanne Torruiso or Judy Pettko. Prayer Intentions can also be written in our Book of

Intentions or placed in our Prayer Box in the entrance of Church. Prayer Intentions will remain on our prayer list for one month unless otherwise requested. Should you or someone you know be in need

of pastoral care, please direct the family to contact Fr. Efren.
