A Prayer for Those Working to Rebuild |
|
As Floridians and others on the East Coast assess the damages of Hurricane Ian,
let us unite in prayer for them:
Compassionate God, source of all comfort, we pray for the people whose lives have been devastated by hurricane Ian. Bring them comfort, we pray. Protect the vulnerable. Strengthen the weak. Keep at bay the spread of disease. Have mercy on all those working to rebuild. And may our response to their suffering be generous and bring you praise. We ask this in Jesus' name.

Vows of Consecrated Celibacy
Pamela Mooman
October 9, 5PM
|
Since ancient times, some individuals have forgone marriage and family life to dedicate themselves completely to God. The Single Consecrated Life is a covenant commitment whereby a person professes a vow of consecrated celibacy as a personal response to God’s call.
Pamela Mooman feels so called to a life of consecrated celibacy. A Service of Solemn Profession of Vows of Pamela, a novice in the Third Order of the Society of St Francis, is planned for 5 p.m., Sunday, 9 October 2022, at St Timothy’s.
Bishop Andrew Doyle will be here to preside over Holy Eucharist and to receive Pamela's vows of consecrated celibacy. The Rev. Bob Flick, a Third Order Franciscan, will preach.
This service will mark the first time in Texas that these vows will be given to a Bishop. You can learn more about consecrated celibacy at the Church of England's Single Consecrated Life Network page. |

Did something stressful happen to you this week? You might bring it up to your partner, but instead of listening, they give you advice or criticize you and you end up more stressed out than before.
Or perhaps your partner frequently ends conversations accusing you of not listening to them.
Either way, someone isn’t feeling heard in the relationship.

The Edge of Hope: Lessons on Regret for a Marriage in Crisis
|
IMAGINE HOLDING A crystal ball that could reveal your marriage’s fate in ten, fifteen, or twenty years. Picture yourself gazing into the smokey orb while asking a series of questions: Will I be happy if I stay? Will my problems follow me if I leave? Is our marriage doomed to contempt, devoid of kindness, and forever riddled with blame no matter what we do?
At their core, such questions deal with regret and how it pertains to a relationship in crisis. They seek to discern the cost of taking action versus staying put. They are powerful because they poke at our hopes, fears, and, most importantly, the unknowable.
