Inspiration for week of Oct 14

Are we content and satisfied with the bare minimum and essentials of our faith, or do we desire excellence and proficiency? The Ten Commandments represent the minimum and, if we are honest with ourselves, are pretty easy to keep. The fullness of the Gospel, however, is another story. Truly living as Jesus taught often comes with great self-sacrifice, self-emptying, and possibly leaving the things of this world behind. Are we ready to pursue this kind of life? God wants us to live and love abundantly not superficially. Love asks that we extend ourselves beyond the status quo and the bare minimum and venture into that which is risky, counter-cultural, and even radical. What we possess can no longer be important. When Jesus laid this out before the rich young man, he went away sad because he had much. When Jesus lays it out before us, how do we react?

​ROSARY DEVOTION 
Join us in praying the Rosary
after the 8:00 am mass on Saturday morning.

The first Sunday of each month is our pantry Sunday.  The protein foods, like peanut butter, meats, stews and tuna are always needed. All shelf stable foods are gratefully accepted.  ​Our Lady's Food Pantry is open every Tuesday and Thursday, 1:30 to 2:30 next to (and in the rear) of the Rectory.
