30th Sunday Year A October 25, 2020
As we continue our journey together with the rest of the world through this time of pandemic, it is important for us to persevere in prayer for deliverance and healing. Again, I present to you a prayer composed by our Holy Father imploring the intercession of our Blessed Mother. Please continue, or start to pray this prayer daily. Not only do we pray for ourselves, our community and country, but we are united in prayer with our brothers and sisters throughout the world, who are also suffering and mourning.
Mary, You shine continuously on our journey as a sign of salvation and hope. We entrust ourselves to you, Health of the Sick, who, at the foot of the cross, were united with Jesus’ suffering, and persevered in your faith. You know our needs, and we know that you will provide, so that, as at Cana in Galilee, joy and celebration may return after this time of trial. Help us, Mother of Divine Love, to conform ourselves to the will of the Father and to do what Jesus tells us. For he took upon himself our suffering, and burdened himself with our sorrows to bring us, through the cross, to the joy of the Resurrection. Amen.

Saint of the Week:
Oct. 28- St. Simon & St. Jude are distinguished as Simon the Zealot which refers to his zeal for the Law and Jude (Judas) also called Thaddeus (not Iscariot). They were apostles mentioned in the New Testament. After the resurrection, Sts. Simon and
Jude are believed to have evangelized and been martyred together in Persia. In a later tradition, Jude became a patron saint of so-called hopeless causes.

During these challenging days that we live in, wouldn’t it be comforting to experience less anxiety and a greater sense of peace? In order to achieve a greater sense of peace we need to look deeper into the relationship we have with Jesus: to get to know Him more, and ourselves. You can do this through the “Rediscover Your Faith” series which will present the Truths of the Catholic Faith as well as an enlightening approach to enhance your relationship with Jesus. Please join us in a safe environment on Thursday
beginning October 1st at 7:00 pm in the hall at St. Francis Xavier Parish.
(Masks are mandatory)
