PAGE FOUR FROM THE PASTOR Dear Brothers and Sisters Today’s Gospel invites us to recognize the presence of God in our life, our pains and doubts in the middle of our sufferings and loneliness. God is always compassionate and attentive to our needs. He listens when we cry out for justice and truth even when we don’t raise our voices. He always takes the initiative because his presence heals our wounds. Wounds of injustice, selfishness, and lies. scars of war and forgetting minorities. Wounds of indifference towards climate change. Let’s show the mercy of God through our “little actions” and “sacrifices”. Those become roses for the healing of the world. We invite you to consider this month of October as the best time to continue living our missionary commitment by welcoming the invitation of the Holy Father Pope Francis for The Extraordinary Missionary Month. He states: “ For the month of October 2019, I have asked that the whole Church revive her missionary awareness and commitment as we commemorate the centenary of the Apostolic Letter Maximum Illud of Pope Benedict XV (30 November 1919). Its farsighted and prophetic vision of the apostolate has made me realize once again the importance of renewing the Church’s missionary commitment and giving fresh evangelical impulse to her work of preaching and bringing to the world the salvation of Jesus Christ, who died and rose again" (Pope Francis, 2019) He is calling us to grow in respect for the dignity of men and women, and towards a deeper conversion to the truth of the Risen Lord who gives authentic life to all. “We are the Church, and every baptized man and woman is a mission. People in love never stand still: they are drawn out of themselves; they are attracted and attract others in turn; they give themselves to others and build relationships that are life-giving” (Pope Francis, 2019) As a community in Faith let us be pilgrims of prayer, authentic disciples of Jesus by offering our prayers, our services, our economic support, our community life, and mission around our neighborhood. They will turn into blessings for the Church and a healing response for the poor.
