Just a little note of thanks

Dear Brothers & Sisters in Christ

Dear Brothers & Sisters in Christ, 

Thank you so much  for your love, prayers and cards for my brother Jack. Thank you, he loved and used the shawl everyday. He went home peacefully to be with Jesus. Your cards meant a lot to him. You all are in my daily prayers. God bless you for all you do. 

Lovingly,
Mary 

Thanks to All of You

"This card does not begin to show how much my friend, Marisela, and I appreciate all the prayers and masses on her behalf at the time she had her surgery, Aug __.

"Her surgery, which is one of two she had, was a success. We both know in our hearts that all your prayers helped enormously! Again, thanks ever so much and especially thanks to my sister who informed me and furnished the card for Marisela to fill out and send to you."

Thanks! Armida

why pray for others?

When hearing of the challenges faced by persons going through cancer treatment, we often find these stories upsetting, especially when the patient is of a younger age, or when a family member writes honestly about the thought of losing their loved one. If we choose to examine this reaction closely, we may observe our impulse is to turn away from words of sickness, end of life, or the struggles of the young and old. But Jesus knows He has to redirect us and show us where we can always find Him. If we follow Him, we watch how He passes by those who are secure, confident, and content with themselves. He heads right for the beaten down, suffering, sick, and outcast.

Jesus teaches us that it is the marginalized people of our community who are the most receptive to the message of the gospel because they have first hand experience in knowing how unable we are to live without God. When we avoid adversity, we sever the connection that begins towards the heart of Jesus by offering our helping hand. And what's worse in our refusal is we have rejected the even larger gift of grace returned by the recipient of our help; that which completes the exchange for both parties to willingly, lovingly, joyously accept the full Gift of God being offered.

Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!

Thank You, Thank You, Thank You! Your prayers humble me and heal me in ways I can't name. Thank you all!

With warmest regards, Annette

The Everlasting Grace of Sally Ann Quinones

If anyone has been put through the fire, Sally Ann has. Her faith has been tested, her life has been altered, and her love for God is deep and ever evolving. You can hear her speak at the next Adult Faith Formation next week.

Sally speaks with extraordinary depth and devotion. Her words will move the most stubborn heart. She has prayed over many people with serious illness; she is an integral part of the St. Peregrine Prayer Ministry, and she is the author of "Everlasting Grace". If you have never heard her talk, you will be in for an inspired evening. If you have heard her speak in CRHP, you know the profound impact of her stories. Don't miss this one!
