Stanley + 9:00am Jean & Victor Wilenta+ 10:30am M/M Patsy Papaceno+ The Lord was with him, not permitting any word of his to be without effect. (1Samuel 3:19) Learning how to listen to the voice of the Lord is key to spiritual growth. Every saint’s life illustrates this point in one way or another. Francis of Assisi heart the Lord say, “Rebuild my Church,” and even though it took him some time to understand what god meant, Francis was faithful to that command. Mother Teresa felt God ask her to leave her order and care for the poorest of the poor. These saints, and so many other, responded because these words had a powerful effect on them. But it isn’t just in the deep, life-changing moments that god wants to speak to us. In fact, these saints could hear these “big” messages because they had experience discerning the quieter messages that Jesus put in their hearts. And that’s how it can happen for us. When we sense God telling us, “Come to me, and I will give you peace,” we can stop for a moment and turn our hearts to him. Or when we hear ‘Come and confess your sins,” we can make a quick examination of conscience and ask for his mercy. Responding to these small promptings will bring us closer to the Lord– and they’ll help us hear him in the bigger areas of our lives! The Holy Spirit never tires of telling us that Jesus has redeemed us and is offering us new life. He never tires of nudging us toward more virtuous behavior so that we can become more like Christ. He never tires of helping us find the way to peace, the peace that comes from aligning ourselves with his will. Yielding to the Lord and letting him have an effect on us—this is our great challenge. It’s easy to go our own way without listening for God’s word. But when we see the fruit of hearing and following him, we know it is the greatest treasure we can possibly have. “Open my ears, Lord, to hear your word. Give me the courage to follow you wherever you lead.” 0819—St. Andrew 1 WEEKLY ANNOUNCEMENTS 1 The Bible study; “Matthew, The King and His Kingdom” will resume Tues. Jan. 13th @ 10:00am.

While I lived your life on earth I had knowledge of the truth, and by this alone, a piece of Heaven on earth. That is why I desire the same for you, my children. The Heavenly Father desires pure hearts filled with the knowledge of the truth. He desires for you to love all those whom you meet, because I also love my Son in all of you. This is the beginning of coming to know the truth. Many false truths are being offered to you. You will overcome them with a heart cleansed by fasting, prayer, penance and the Gospel. This is the only truth and it is the truth which my Son left you. You do not need to examine it much. What is asked of you, as I also have done, is to love and to give. My children, if you love, your heart will be a home for my Son and me, and the words of my Son will be the guiding light in your life. My children, I will make use of you, apostles of love, to help all of my children to come to Key Note Speaker: Jesse Romero, M.A. Catholic! Author, Host, Evangelist!!

You can’t control the length of your life, but you can control its width and depth. You can’t control the contour of your countenance, but you can control its expression. You can’t control the other fellow’s opportunities, but you can grasp your own. You can’t control the weather, much as you try, but you can control the moral atmosphere which surrounds you. You can’t control the distance that your head shall be above the ground, but you can control the height of the contents of your head. You can’t control the other fellow’s annoying faults, but you can see to it that you yourself do not develop or harbor provoking propensities. You can’t control hard times or rainy days, but you can bank money now to boost you through both. Why worry about things you can’t control? You will have your hands full if you just get busy controlling things that depend upon you. ~Highways of Happiness~ St. Andrew 819-4
