PENNY FAIR a great success! THANK YOU
Catholics, in their ecumenical work, must assuredly be concerned for
their separated brethren, praying for them, keeping them informed
about the Church, making the ﬁrst approaches toward them. But
their primary duty is to make a careful and honest appraisal of
whatever needs to be done or renewed in the Catholic household
itself, in order that its life may bear witness more clearly and faithfully to the teachings and ins
tu
ons which have come to it from
Christ through the Apostles.”

OCTOBER 18-19, 2014
WEEKLY REFLECTION: (Isaiah 45:1, 4-6)
Thus says the Lord to his anointed . . . opening doors before
him and leaving the gates unbarred (Isaiah 45:1).
“A new door will open for you today.” Have you ever
cracked open a fortune cookie and discovered a hidden
message like this one? Maybe you smiled, thinking that
someone is si6ng at a desk somewhere wring fortunes for
a living. Then you crumpled the sliver of paper. Well, today’s ﬁrst reading was an actual message enfolded within
the prophet’s words to Cyrus, the king of Persia!
The prophet declared that God was the thrust behind Cyrus’
rise to power. He depicted God as unbarring gates and
opening doors for Cyrus, then going a step further and
grasping the king’s arm to lead him through, door aer
door.
This passage is a fascinang insight into history’s unfolding.
But there’s something here for us today as well. If God
opened doors for Cyrus, who didn’t even believe in him, do
you think he will open them for you? Yes, he will! Every
day, God is opening new doors, inving you to step through
and move forward to faith. These doors come in all shapes
and sizes. Some are plain to see, like a door of service
that’s opened when someone invites you to volunteer in
your parish. Or a door of encouragement, when you can
upli someone who really needs it. To see some, though,
you have to be on the lookout. Like the nest me you’re
stuck in traﬃc, God could be opening a door for you to
spend extra me with him in prayer. Some doors are wide
open, and some require us to lighten our load in order to
squeeze through, like the call to live more simply so that we
can give more of our ﬁnances to God’s work.
Today, try to see every challenge, every conversaon, every
chance encounter as a divinely appointed door. Then, see
Jesus on the other side, waing for you with open arms.
“Lord, take me by the hand today, and lead me through
your open doors.”
LITURGY CORNER
Questions To Ponder This Week
Am I a caretaker of the earth?
Do I attach myself to worldly things at the expense of
the love and honour I owe to God?
Does my lifestyle reveal the image and presence of
God to those around me?
