33rd Sunday in Ordinary Time
“And then they will see ‘the Son of Man coming in the clouds’ with great power and glory.” (Mark 13:26)
We will all have that day when we are standing before God and our life is played out like a movie. When this happens and God asks each of us, “What have you done with the gifts that I have given you?” How will you respond? The good news – it’s never too late to live a grateful and generous lifestyle.

Martha Robin was a French mystic, victim soul, and
stigmatist. She was an ordinary farm girl until 1918 when she suffered from lethargic encephalitis that left her a quadriplegic.
From 1930 onwards, unable to eat or drink, her only food was the Eucharist for 50 years. In 1930 she also received the stigmata and relived Christ’s Passion every week.
In 1940 she was asked to also make the sacrifice of her eyesight in expiation for the sins of the world. She had visions of the Virgin Mary and Our Lord for sixty years. More than 100,000 people consulted her for spiritual advice and she brought about many conversions.

Hail, Guardian of the Redeemer,
Spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary. To you God entrusted his only Son; in you Mary placed her trust; with you Christ became man.

Obtain for us grace, mercy and courage,
and defend us from every evil. Amen.
