 Twenty-Ninth Sunday in Ordinary Time

October 22, 2023

"Render unto Caesar..."

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.  Please join us after Mass this Sunday for Coffee and Doughnuts and Fellowship.

Prayer for Peace in the Middle East

Sustain together in undiminished hope, O God of hope,

Those who continue to labor with undiminished determination

to build peace in the land from which, of old,

out of brokenness, violence and destruction

nevertheless, hope emerged for so many of faith.

Bless all the spiritual seed of Abraham together with the light of your Presence.

For in the light of your Presence

we have found a way of justice and mercy

and a vision of Peace.

We praise you, O God, Giver of Peace,

who commands us to Peace.  Amen.

~ Rabbi Herbert Bronstein, Glencoe, IL

On November 1st, we will have Mass at 12 p.m. for All Saints Day, a holy day of obligation.  On Friday, November 3rd, we will have Mass at 12 p.m. with an hour of Exposition and Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament to follow.  We will hold Adoration every first Friday of the month.  

Many people from across the Diocese attended the Diocesan Eucharistic Pilgrimage in Washington, D.C. yesterday and as we continue this year of the Eucharistic Revival, let us strengthen our relationship with Our Lord and the wonderful sacrament that is the Eucharist with Adoration.

Blessings,

Fr. Jim
