Our Parish Family
Today's Gospel reminds us that God invites all of us to his kingdom.
How do we respond to this invitation? In theological terms, God has
granted us free will to accept or reject. The parable of the wedding feast
reminds us that God desires our wholehearted acceptance. What does
Jesus expect of those who accept his invitation of salvation? What would
be the evidence of our conversion to God's salvation? Pray together as a
family that you will respond wholeheartedly to God's invitation to salvation.
Pray together today's psalm, Psalm 23.

FULLY ALIVE MINISTRY
Most people define themselves either by their
problems or their possibilities. Fearful people wake
up each morning ensnared by their problems.
Christian stewards wake up reflecting on their
possibilities with confidence and hope. FAM
reflection questions for the week: What challenges
do you back away from because you doubt that
you are up to them? What would you attempt
tomorrow if you were sure God would help you?

10 THINGS JESUS NEVER SAID
1. You’re too far gone to be saved.
2. I’m so disappointed in you.
3.This wouldn’t be happening if you were a better
Christian.
4. It’s okay not to love certain people.
5. Everyone should believe and act like you do.
6. It’s all up to you.
7. You don’t have to forgive someone who really hurt
you.
8. You missed my will for your life.
9. I’ve given up on you.
10. This is a cross you must bear alone.

Sometimes kids say the cutest things that just
stick with you and you wonder how they know what to
say at such a young age. This little guy is 3yrs old and
keeps reminding me that his birthday is after Halloween, (November) and he will be 4. He was helping me
sort out some videos, putting them in the right boxes,
etc.. After a little while he says to me….”Ms Fabyan,
I’m getting tired
because I been on my feet all
day.” I wanted to laugh out loud at such a remark
from a 3yr od, but I nicely said.. “Oh, Ok, well lets
take a little break so you can sit and rest your feet.”
Ha! On Wednesday the school parking lot was being
paved while it was Fall Break. They had to close the
entrance to the lot in order to get it done. When I got
to work my little man friend kept wanting my attention. He kept telling me that I needed to come with
him to Ms. Karen’s room (which is his room also). I
went with him and he went to the window facing the
parking lot, pointed out there
and said… “ There seems to
be a problem because the men
won’t let anybody come over
here.” Some things are just
Priceless.
