Prayer for the Week (March 24, 2024-March 30, 2024)
/in From the Pastor/by Diane PalumboLet us pray that we follow Jesus on his road of service: God our Father, in Jesus your Son, you have shown us that the road that leads to victory is the way of loving service and willingness to pay the price of sacrifice for faithful, unswerving love. Give us the mentality and attitude of Jesus, so that we learn to serve with him. May we thus become victorious with him who eternally dwells with you and the Holy Spirit, One God, now and forever. Amen.

Sunday Reflection (March 17, 2024)
/in From the Pastor/by Diane Palumbo If Jesus learned obedience how much more should we learn obedience? I have a lot to learn about loving God and others at all times and in all places, and our obedience to Christ brings salvation in a holistic sense by interjecting healing, restoration, and reconciliation into human life and society.
We can learn to obey God to the degree that we do it naturally in which the Holy Spirit gradually melds our will with God’s will for the world (Jeremiah 31:31-34). In this process God transforms us so that what God wills is what we do, naturally, even in difficult circumstances, and adverse circumstances
Prayer for the Week (March 17, 2024-March 23, 2024)
/in From the Pastor/by Diane PalumboLet us pray for the courage to embrace the world in the name of Christ: Father in heaven, the love of your Son led him to accept the suffering of the cross so that humankind might embrace new life. Change our selfishness into self-giving and lead us to embrace the world you have given us so that we transform the darkness of its pain into the life and joy of Easter. Grant this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
