Thus says the LORD: Say to those whose hearts are frightened: Be strong, fear not! Here is your God, he comes with vindication; with divine recompense he comes to save you. Then will the eyes of the blind be opened, the ears of the deaf be cleared; then will the lame leap like a stag, then the tongue of the mute will sing. Streams will burst forth in the desert, and rivers in the steppe. The burning sands will become pools, and the thirsty ground, springs of water. Is 35:4-7a

"When I offer Mass, I am at the foot of the cross, asking Jesus’ help to
do the Father’s will in my life, and standing there I can unite my pains and sufferings to those of Jesus for the salvation of all. There is no greater benefit than to be united mind, body, spirit and will with Our Lord.” — Msgr. William O’Connell, in the December 2014
West River Catholic, buried in St Martin's Monastery cemetery September 3rd, 2015.
Pope Francis invites us to the richness of God's mercy, with the special time, beginning Dec 8: "I have asked the Church in this Jubilee Year to rediscover the richness encompassed by the spiritual and corporal works of mercy. The experience of mercy, indeed, becomes visible in the witness of concrete signs as Jesus himself taught us. Each time that one of the faithful personally performs one or more of these actions, he or she shall surely obtain the Jubilee Indulgence. Hence the commit-ment to live by mercy so as to obtain the grace of complete and exhaustive forgiveness by the power of the love of the Father who excludes no one. The Jubilee Indulgence is thus full, the fruit of the very event which is to be celebrated and experienced with faith, hope and charity.
Please pray with your families this month for Pope Francis and WMF gathering in Philadelphia.
Gov. Daugaard draws our care to those in recovery this month.
Here is a great prayer by R.Neibuhr:
God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can; and wisdom to know the difference. Living one day at a time; enjoying one moment at a time; accepting hardships as the pathway to peace; taking, as He did, this sinful world as it is, not as I would have it; trusting that He will make all things right if I surrender to His Will; that I may be reasonably happy in this life and supremely happy with Him forever in the next. Amen.
