"Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened,
and I will give you rest." Mt 11:28

|
Prayer is a source of comfort and healing especially during difficult times. Many of us are experiencing feelings of isolation, discouragement and hopelessness with all that is going on in our home, country and world today. Let us come to the Lord Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament for belonging, comfort and hope.
Does your schedule permit you to volunteer for a set time each week? Will you sit with the Lord when there is no one else praying in the chapel?

STEWARDSHIP - Moving Us Closer to God
|
|
This weekend’s readings are centered on how we perceive and respond to God’s presence in our lives.
In our first reading, Elijah reacted like most of us would if we were told that the Lord will be passing by our house. We would expect a monumental event involving trumpets, a light show, and possibly trembling ground under our feet. But instead he experienced the Lord in a gentle sound, something like a light breeze. We must remember that God comes into our lives in the most unexpected ways. We need to stay alert and sensitive to His presence so we can understand His will and countless gifts.
Our second reading from Romans has St. Paul lamenting that most of the people who share his Jewish heritage have not responded to the divinity and teachings of Christ. God’s chosen people, who received many gifts, including the law, the covenant, and the patriarchs, fail to see the gift of Christ. This often happens to us too. We continually have access to the riches of the Church’s teaching, the Scriptures, and the treasury of grace in the sacraments, including the gift of Christ in the Eucharist. Our family, friends, career, and parish are from God as well. When we take our eyes off God, we fail to see that all is a gift from Him, we lose trust in Him, and we do not live our lives as grateful stewards.
In the Gospel, Jesus reveals His presence to His disciples as they are being battered about by the winds and waves. When they become aware of Jesus, they think He is a ghost. Even after Jesus reassures them that it is He, they doubt. Peter challenges Jesus by saying, “Lord, if it is really You, command me to come to You on the water.” Jesus beckons Peter and for a while Peter does fine walking on the stormy sea, but he loses his focus on Jesus and starts to sink.
When we take our eyes off Christ, His many blessings, and the loving way He treats us, we sink too. When we embrace a stewardship way of life and let go of the tight hold on our treasure, time and talents, our lives become enriched, rooted firmly and gratefully in the God Who always cares for us.

STEPHEN MINISTRY - Confidential Care and Support |
|
Who's there for me?
There are points in life when everyone faces periods of crisis, transition or difficulty. During these times we all receive great benefits from a caring relationship with someone who is there for us; someone who will faithfully and confidentially listen, empathize, pray and encourage us with Christ’s love and care.
Caring for people in need is at the heart of the Stephen Ministry. With the accompaniment of a Stephen Minister, people no longer have to go through a difficult time alone. Instead they have a well-trained, caring Christian friend who will walk alongside them for as long as necessary, providing emotional and spiritual support. If you or someone you know need this support, please call our confidential line at 310-545-8244.
