Prayer for the Week (January 14, 2023-January 20, 2024)
/in From the Pastor/by Diane PalumboLook upon us O Lord and let the darkness of our souls vanish before the beams of your brightness. Fill us with holy love and open to us the treasures of your wisdom. All our desires are known unto you, therefore perfect what you have begun, and what your Spirit has awakened us to ask in prayer. We seek your face, turn your face to us and show us your glory. Then shall our longings be satisfied, and our peace shall be perfect. Amen.
(St. Augustine)
Sunday Reflection (January 7, 2024)
/in From the Pastor/by Diane PalumboWhy have we in Christ’s Church been chosen? Is it for arrogance? Eternal Fire Insurance? Or does it have nothing to do with arrogance or figuring out the ultimate judgment? “We are chosen “to be holy and blameless in love (Ephesians 1:4). Christian holiness and blamelessness are bound up with love and not self-righteousness and arrogance. Christians should be different in the way they treat others: We have been caught up in God’s plan for the ages and our part is “to be holy and blameless in love” (1:9-10).
Prayer for the Week (January 7, 2023-January 13, 2024)
/in From the Pastor/by Diane PalumboLet us pray being grateful for the glory revealed in Jesus Christ: Father of light, you reveal to the faithful the resplendent beauty of the Word made flesh in Jesus Christ. Your light is strong, your love is near; draw us beyond the limits which the world imposes to the life where your Spirit makes all life complete. We ask this through Christ our Lord, who eternally dwells with you and the Holy Spirit, One God, now and forever more. Amen.
(Sunday Missal, alt.)
