Blessed Lord, accept this burning candle as a sign of my faith and love for You.

Like this candle, I am ready to be used in your service without asking why and to what purpose.

Even as this candle, I wish to stand in Your presence and to be consumed in the light and warmth of our Love.

Please hear my prayer and, if it is Your will, grant my petition.

But above all, make me loyal and faithful to You in all circumstances of my life.

Amen.

WELCOME THE STRANGER We have become accustomed to seeing pictures in the media and stories on the news about immigrants from Latin America and refugees from Syria fleeing vio-lence and destruction in their own countries, trying to make their way to a safe place. We have also seen the reactions of people who want to keep them away from their countries, who fail to welcome the stranger and the helpless children. Have we forgotten Jesus’ call to com-fort the homeless and the stranger? “They shall bring all your brothers and sisters from all the nations . . . to Jeru-salem, my holy mountain, says the L .” In the three readings for this day, we are told that we are to welcome these strangers, to welcome the disci-pline of the Lord, which leads to peace, and to “strive to enter through the narrow gate” into the glory of God’s own homeland, the reign of God.

Dear Catholic Community of South Pittsburgh, Grace and peace to you in Christ! What a grace this summer has been for me. I had the opportunity to take some quality vacation time this summer and I am very grateful for the renewed vigor that brought. When I came home after two weeks away I realized that I have everything my heart has ever really desired. Of course, my heart’s desire has been for a long time to love God above all things, and I always know that He is with me and I am with Him. Knowing that, and making time eve-ryday to rest in that reality, has been the source of my strength since my first year of seminary.

That being said, not doing priestly ministry for two weeks while I was away on vacation made me realize how much I absolutely love being a priest! It is not my job, it is who I am. I love leading you to Jesus and bring-ing His love and healing into your life. I love administer-ing the sacraments and watching God transform you into the likeness of Christ! I love teaching you how to pray and seeing you become fully who you were made to be! Truly, I am so grateful to God for making me who I am and giving me all of you to love with His love! May God always be number one in our lives, so that we can love each other well and be the church God is calling us to be! In Christ, Fr. Levi

DEACON MIKE’S CORNER

An old priest was dying. He sent a message for his doctor and his lawyer, both church members, to come to his home. When they arrived, they were ushered up to his bedroom. As they entered the room the preacher held out his hands and motioned for

them to sit, one on each side of his bed. The priest grasped their hands, sighed contentedly, smiled and stared at the ceiling. For a time, no one said anything. Both the doctor and lawyer were touched and flattered that the preacher would ask them to be with him during his final moments. They were also puzzled; the preacher had never given them any indication that he particularly liked either of them. They both remembered his many long, uncomfort-able homilies about greed, covetousness and avaricious behavior that made them squirm in their seats. Finally, the doctor said, "Pastor, why did you ask us to come?" The old priest mustered up his strength, then said weakly, "Jesus died between two thieves; and that's how I want to go." No offense to our lawyers and doctors! This little humorous story points out that we often do not know how we are perceived by others. It is obviously based on our actions in life. Take a moment before you act and consider if this is the Catholic Christian thing to do. Consider if your actions reflect the grace of God, and our love for our neighbor. It does not take much to make the other person see God in the person you truly are. God will bless us if we just share a little of Him in our actions with others.

~Deacon Mike In Christ, We Are One, We Are Sent

DEACON TIM’S BOOK & MOVIE REVIEW

With the arrival of high school football season, this week's DVD is an entertaining movie on that subject and more. Facing the Giants is an excel-lent 2007 movie that combines high school football, overcoming adversity

and most importantly, Christian faith. This movie is about a high school football coach that has never had a winning season in his six years as Head Coach. Because of this, mounting pressure from frustrated parents, and ongoing challenges in his person-al life he has every reason to give up. But he keeps pray-ing. However, an unexpected visitor challenges him with a message that God put on his heart to tell the coach. Simply put, two farmers were facing a prolonged dry season. Both farmers prayed for rain, but only one farmer prepared his land for the rain. The visitor then asked, "Which farmer are you coach?" This changed the coach's outlook on life and he discovers the strength to persevere and succeed - in all aspects of his life. There is a now famous scene in the middle of the movie that is often referenced in religious, business and coaching circles. I rate this film Four Beards out of Five Beards, because the movie moves a little slow in the begin-ning, when it is introducing the characters, but then quickly picks up to tell the wonderful and believable story. We all face giants in our life, God is larger than any giant or problem in our life, and we can defeat all of them if we just trust in Him. ~Deacon Tim Live Jesus in our hearts…..Forever!
