PRAY FOR OUR MILITARY LOVED ONES

Tom / Bergan Flannigan …Army Joshua DiBenedetto ...Air Force

Call the parish office to add your loved ones in the service.

For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor present things, nor future things, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature will be able to separate us from the love of God

in Christ Jesus our Lord. —Romans 8:38-39

If you feel far from the Lord, try writing this verse on a small card. Tape it to your fridge, your bathroom mirror,

or your dashboard. When you feel God’s absence, read the verse out loud. Remind yourself of the truth. You are not alone. God is with you. Nothing can diminish God’s Love

for you.
