Seventh Sunday in Ordinary Time
And raising his eyes toward his disciples he said: “Blessed are you who are poor, for the kingdom of God is yours.” Luke 6:20

CHRIST, PRINCE OF PEACE & ST. LAWRENCE PARISHES FORD CITY, CADOGAN, PA
Seventh Sunday In
Ordinary Time
“The Lord is kind and merciful.”
As we were made in the image of God, we are called to be compassionate and forgiving as Jesus was. He came into this world so that all might live a more abundant
life and receive a better life. We ought to help and express our love to all those who have a great need of us. Console the sick and visit the poor. Have compassion for their infirmities, letting these acts touch your heart. It is here that we show that we love
from holy love. Pray for them as you help them. Yet, be careful that you do not neglect your responsibilities to your own family household while you care for others. We must ask God to help us love others, especially those for whom we
have no inclination to love. They will have a more abundant life by the example you give them. Since God wants us to love and
cherish others, we must see God’s love in our neighbor. Even though at first we seem reluctant to do so, we must not give up
practicing this love of neighbor outwardly. But we must not be surprised if we find ourselves not equally
kind and gentle. Be patient with everyone’s imperfections but especially your own. Have the courage to pick yourself up after a fall. There’s no better way to grow in God’s love than
to always start over again and never think that we have done enough. Do not worry whether or not your work will bear the fruit you intend to produce, for you will not be asked for the
fruit. You will only be asked if you faithfully occupied yourself in cultivating well these barren and arid lands. You will not
be asked whether you have gathered in a harvest, but only if you have taken sufficient care to sow the seed.

OPERATION YOUTH GROUP We are very thankful to the parents and grandparents who have been bringing their kids to youth group, making and serving meals, and donating their time through volunteering and serving the youth group this year! The gatherings that we hold every two weeks on Sunday nights from 5:00-6:30 at St. Lawrence follow the model of the Apostles described in Acts 2:42, consisting of the Apostles’ teaching, fellowship, the breaking of bread, and prayers. The kids have a shared meal where they fellowship with one another, a lesson, activities, and prayers at every meeting. Also, some other activities the youth group has done this school year include restoring porches in downtown Kittanning with Habitat for Humanity, serving meals to homeless families, cleaning Guardian Angels church for mass, filling shoeboxes for Operation Christmas Child, and attending a student-led conference on our faith. This spring, just some of our planned activities consist of attending a Christian concert, volunteering with Habitat for Humanity, continuing to serve meals to homeless families at local churches, and volunteering at a soup kitchen in Pittsburgh. We would love to have more kids join youth group; it’s open to all kids in grades 6-12. If you would like to join, know of someone who would like to join us, or have any questions, please call Jen or Shaun Sperl at 724-859-3196 or 724-859-3197.
