STEWARDSHIP -
Moving Us Closer to God
|
|
Today’s readings remind me of the well-known quote,
“The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.”
This weekend we are called to tackle the challenging issues of fear and trust. Unfortunately, we all deal them at various parts of our lives.
In our first reading from Jeremiah, the prophet expresses sentiments we have all felt at some point in our lives, when he says,
“I hear the whispering of many: 'Terror on every side!'”
Perhaps this “whispering” comes from the culture that insists we think of ourselves first and, only when we are certain our needs are satisfied, we think of serving others. Or maybe the fear is when we consider stepping out of our comfort zones, and the little voice in our head says “I’m too weak and too unequipped to live a life as Christ’s disciple.” Yet, just when Jeremiah is nearly overcome with fear, he remembers the truth, and it is just as true for us today;
“The Lord is with me, like a mighty champion.”
The Lord knows that facing down our fears and choosing to trust Him in all areas of our lives is an ongoing challenge. He is generous with reassurances throughout the Scriptures. Today’s Gospel passage from Matthew is a case in point. In the span of eight verses, Jesus addresses the topic of fear four times:
- Fear no one.
- Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul.
- Rather, be afraid of the one who can destroy both soul and body.
- So do not be afraid.
Let’s stop wasting time on fear. Instead, let’s put our trust in God and use our time, talents and treasure in service for others. In that way we bolster the Body of Christ and acknowledge His glorious gifts.

STEPHEN MINISTRY - Confidential Care and Support
|
|
Do you have something concealed you would like to reveal?
God knows every hair on your head. You might feel anonymous or lost, but you are worth more than you can know. God wants us to know how loved and valued we are. But when we’re experiencing a financial crisis, family problems, job challenges, health issues, or any crisis at all, we need someone to help us to feel that love. A Stephen Minister can be your confidential partner when times are tough.
If you need someone to talk to, leave a message on our Stephen Ministry confidential phone line at
310-545-8244
. Deacon Dick and Patti Williams will meet with you to see if a Stephen Minister may be a good fit for you!

THE 50th ANNUAL PARISH FAIR is OCTOBER 17-18
|
|
Safer at Home for many of us has given us time to clean, sort and organize.
Our prayers continue for those directly affected and on the front lines of COVID-19 and we also want to look ahead to brighter times. We hope that will include the
50th American Martyrs Parish Fair
as scheduled.
We'd love to celebrate our Fair's storied history at the 50th Annual American Martyrs Parish Fair this October. We are blessed to have so many parishioners who have attended many, many fairs over the past 49 years.
We want to hear from you!
Send your photos, stories, and description of memorabilia you may have from Parish Fairs past to
Fair50@AmericanMartyrs.org
.
Please include dates whenever possible.
We're also looking for someone (or a couple someones) who have a love for history and might be interested in helping curate and organize the photos, stories, memorabilia and more.
Thanks and see you at Fair 50!
