Our celebration at Mass this weekend reminds us of God’s lavish and generous love. As we celebrate our annual parish festival this weekend, a big "thank you" to all who are sharing their generosity through their time, talent and treasure!
The first words of today’s first reading are “Seek the Lord while he may be found, call on him while he is near.” In the proclamation of the sacred word we find the Lord, whose justice and compassion reach out to all. Today’s gospel reminds us that it is never too late to seek God’s mercy. As the sacred word is proclaimed, let us pray that God’s mercy will reach even the hardest hearts.
Next weekend we will welcome Fr. Casimir from the Holy Ghost Fathers who will be here as part of the Diocese of Greensburg Mission Appeal. Also next weekend we will kick off our Faith Formation year. All are asked to meet in the church at 9:00 AM for a special blessing to begin the new year.
This Wednesday is the Feast of St. Matthew the Apostle. Matthew left his customs work when Jesus called him. What might we need to leave behind to follow Jesus today?
Wednesday is also the International Day of Peace. How will you celebrate, share the spirit of peace?
Our Responsorial Psalm this week, "The Lord is near to all who call upon him," reminds us that our gracious Lord is only a prayer away.
Six rings are great but 7 would be heaven ... Go Steelers!
