Pray for Our Military
Lord God, Almighty Father, creator of mankind and author of peace, as we are ever mindful of the cost paid for the liberty we possess, we ask you to bless the members of our armed forces. Give them courage, hope and strength. May they experience your firm support, gentle love and compassionate healing. Be their power and protector, leading them from darkness to light. Amen.
Pastor’s Column A LITTLE FAITH
Today our readings are about faith, frustration, and how much is enough. Habakkuk is a complainer having an argument with God. Timothy is encouraging a community challenged by cowardice and the apostles want more faith than they have. Things aren’t happening fast enough for any of them or for us. All of them and we want God to do something sooner rather than later and we want God to give us a reason to believe that it will all work out. What does God do? God puts it back on them—and us—telling Habakkuk to describe the world he wants; telling the apostles to do more than the expected. Doing more with less is a familiar phrase today and a reminder that a little faith may be enough even for the most difficult times.
World Mission Sunday, Oct. 20th The second collection for World Mission Sunday will be held on October 19th & 20th. This collection will help build churches throughout the Mission in remote areas across the world. Please give generously to the second collection. Father Chris Coffiey, Director of Mission Office for the Diocese of Wilmington will discuss the Extraordinary Missionary Month, on the Oct. 5th edition of Catholic Forum.
Sit Up & Be Counted
It is time once again for the October Mass Count, which is submitted to the Diocese of Wilmington for the four weekends of October. Thank you to the Ushers for taking the numbers and for all those willing to be part of the annual headcount.
The Month of the Holy Rosary is the time when we are reminded of the importance of uniting our prayers with the Mother of God and conforming ourselves to Christ as revealed in the mysteries of His life. Pope
Paul VI said “Without contemplation, the Rosary is a body without a soul.” therosary3.com is a scriptural Rosary.
