Twenty-Eighth Sunday in Ordinary Time

October 15, 2023

FATHER JIM'S JOTS

Greetings!!

In October, we celebrate the Month of the Rosary.  Let us make an effort to pray the rosary this month.

Prayer for Peace in the Middle East

God of mercy and compassion, of grace and reconciliation,

pour your power upon all your children in the Middle East:

Jews. Muslims and Christians,

Palestinians and Israelis.

Let hatred be turned into love, fear to trust, despair to hope, oppression to freedom, that violent encounters may be replaced by loving embraces, and peace and justice could be experienced by all.  Amen.

~ The Reverend Said Ailabouni

Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, Chicago, IL

St. Mary's Catholic Church in Richmond will be hosting a Holy Hour on Sunday, October 15th at 3:30 p.m to pray for peace and for our sisters and brothers suffering from the current conflict in Israel.  All are welcome to come and join us in prayer as we gather at Saint Mary's (9505 Gayton Road, Richmond).

Blessings,

Fr. Jim
