OCTOBER 19, 2014 ~ THE TWENTY-NINTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
THEME
We are citizens of heaven; but we are also citizens of earth.
We live in a secular world. There will always be tensions
between this world and the kingdom of God. We shall never
completely solve these tensions. Yet in every aspect of our
public life we must seek to serve God. Let us pray for wisdom
to be good citizens of this world while we serve the Lord in all
things.

Most often, God calls to us through the
people closest to us, through our families and friends. Most
who have entered the Church have been influenced by a
Catholic spouse, fiancé, or close friend. For many of these
people, a desire to raise their children in the knowledge of
God spurred them to action. What is this if not the action of
the Holy Spirit?
