Grandma’s A&c !!!
7, 2016
It has become customary to associate the word
‘voca'on’ with religious (e.g. priests, nuns, etc.). The
word, ‘voca'on’, however, comes from the word
vocare (‘to call’), and refers to God calling us into
being. When we are ‘called into being’ our lives
express our sense of awe and gra'tude uniquely, and
every life points to the One who creates all life. It isn’t
easy (or to our liking some'mes) to live our ‘calling’.
We oGen prefer something that is more simula'ng;
something that feels more important; something that
allows us to feel as though we are the source of our
own being. This is what the Scriptures understand as
idolatry: we are worshipping a god of our own
making. Many of us vacillate between the being that
God creates and the being that we create. One way
that we can know that we are living our true ‘calling’ is
when expediency is absent. God is good.
Parish updates: We have signed the contract to have
chairliGs installed in the stairwell nearest the parking
lot. Hopefully the liGs will provide the help that those
who have trouble climbing the stairs need. The
Lenten Season begins Wednesday, February 10th.
Ashes will be distributed at both the 9:00am Mass and
the 7:00pm Mass. (If you have palm and would like to
donate it to the Parish, we will have receptacles
available at the church doors.) Finally, we will begin
our annual Catholic Charity Fund Appeal the first two
weekends of Lent. (Mail regarding the Appeal might
be received before these two weekends. We are free
to either pledge/donate via mail or during a weekend
Mass.)
