And it’s even harder, sometimes, to wait for God to come through on a promise made in Scripture, to answer a prayer request we’ve been making for months or years, or to complete his work of transforming us into people worthy of being called Christian disciples. Sometimes we forget that trust and patience are essential to the outcome, and that the process, itself, is somehow part of the outcome. With that in mind, I share with you a brief and beautiful bit of Jesuit spiritual guidance. Peace and God bless, -Fr.Mike. THE WEEK AHEAD Mass Intention Monday-October 13th St. Vincent de Paul Mass Intention Above all, trust in the slow work of God. We are quite naturally impatient in everything to reach the end without delay. Mass Intention We should like to skip the intermediate stages. We are impatient of being on the way to something unknown, something new. And yet it is the law of all progress that it is made by passing through some stages of instability – and that it may take a very long time. John & Amelia Rudometkin † Hall Church Church Giuseppe Pignati † Friday-October 17th Don’t try to force them on, as though you could be today what time (that is to say, grace and circumstances acting on your own good will) will make of you tomorrow. Only God would say what this new spirit gradually forming within you will be. Confirmation/Yr 2 The office will be closed on October 13th for Columbus Day Mary’s Chapel Church & Hall Library Hall 6:00pm 3:00pm 7:00pm 8:30 Mass Intention Columbus Day Frank Waldvogel † Thursday-October 16th And so I think it is with you: your ideas mature gradually – let them grow, let them shape themselves, without undue haste. – Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, SJ 8:30 9:15am 3:30pm 6:30pm 7:00pm 8:30 Mass Intention Give our Lord the benefit of believing that his hand is leading you, and accept the anxiety of feeling yourself in suspense and incomplete.
