IN GOD ALONE Isaiah speaks to us today of Cyrus, King of Persia, anointed by the Lord. God calls Cyrus by name and leads him in service to the Israelites. In this passage we hear that it is the Lord who gives Cyrus his title, who arms him against his enemies, and who opens doors and unbars gates before him. And God does all of this so that the people will know that “I am the LORD,” and that “there is none besides me” (Isaiah 45:6). Paul opens his letter with essentially the same notion—that in God alone we find our grace and peace. Paul also gives thanks to God on our behalf, calling to mind our work of faith, hope, and love. And in the familiar Gospel reading, Jesus tells the Pharisees to give to Caesar what is Caesar’s and to God what is God’s. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

Formation Director, at 619.698.8434 or email: chris@saintmartinoftours.cc

Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults R.C.I.A. is the process by which adults enter the Catholic Church.

Considering becoming Catholic? Are you searching for….

• A deeper relationship with God? • A sense of belonging in a faith community? • A greater fulfillment of your mission in life?

“Inquiry” is the first step in the RCIA process: a ministry that welcomes those who would like to explore IF full membership in the Catholic Church, through Baptism or a Profession of Faith, Confirmation, and Eucharist is God’s call in your life.

This process is a spiritual journey, led by the Holy Spirit, which can lead to Full Initiation into the Catholic Church through Baptism, Confirmation and Eucharist. It is also a way to learn more about the Catholic Faith. One of the goals is to develop a personal relationship with God, accomplished through prayer, scripture and worship.

We meet in the Parish Courtyard at 7pm on most Tuesday evenings. The topic for October 20 is “Holy Spirit and Holy Trinity.” If you find this topic to be something you would like to examine, everyone is welcome to join us any Tuesday.
