Ordinary Time 6

On this day before our secular celebration of romantic love in our society, Valentine’s Day, our liturgy urges us to heed God’s commandments, both old and new. And the root of all these commandments is love – love of God, love of our neighbor. As we journey through this week let us reflect on the ways that we live God’s commandments of love.

TRUE LOVE

For God so lo V ed the world
That He g A ve
His on L y
Begott E n
So N
T hat whoever
Believes I n Him
Should N ot perish
But have E verlasting life

[John 3: 16]

Today is World Marriage Day. We pray that all couples may be examples of commitment, love and service to their families and children. May they be open to the power of the Holy Spirit who empowers them to love in Jesus’ name and to walk in His footsteps.

The First Annual Parish Appreciation Party was a huge success! Many thanks to the committee for a fine job and to all who attended the event!
