Our return to God for Blessings onSunday, October 22, 2017

Stewardship Thought: “You shall love the Lord, your God, with all your heart, with all your soul and with all your mind.” Matthew 22:37

Do you put other “gods” before God? Is your love of

money, power, status or some personal possession greater

than your love for God? Do you really recognize that

everything you have and everything you are is a gift from

God? The good news – it’s not too late to put God first in

your life in all things.

God, through baptism, has given us the gift of his Spirit to be faithful and loving disciples. On this Sunday, October 29, our parish observes “Priesthood Sunday.” God blesses not only our parish, but the entire universal Church with many priests who give of their selves for Christ’s people. Their preaching, teaching and witness calls us to be as Christ is: loving, just and compassionate. Their service to the community called Church inspires us to continue the mission of Christ to a world in need. Please take a minute this “Priesthood Sunday” to show your appreciation to Fr. Martin for his service to Christ Our Savior Parish.

A Tweet From POPE FRANCIS: The culture of

encounter means recognizing that we are all children of

God, despite our differences. (If you would like to see daily
