McDonnell was
appointed Pastor

The Parish continued to grow,
with only minor
problems, when

best not to place ourselves above others. In the

MERCY
Jesus said, “Blessed are the merciful, for mercy shall
be theirs” (Mt 5:7), which makes the practice of the
Spiritual Works of Mercy a win-win for everyone!
When we instruct the ignorant and counsel the
doubtful, we’re forced to brush up on our own faith
in order to properly inform others. How many misunderstandings about Church teaching could be prevented if we understood not just what She teaches,
but why!
Admonishing sinners isn’t about judging someone’s heart; it’s about those everyday moral decisions about right and wrong that we make whenever
we decide not to steal, gossip, lie, etc. When we admonish sinners with love, we reaffirm our own convictions and make this world more civil and loving.
To bear wrongs patiently not only impresses those
who offend us, it makes us stronger in body, mind
and spirit. Paybacks might feel good, but they also
introduce discord and division into our world. When
we bear wrongs patiently, we become channels of
peace.

Comforting the afflicted brings the merciful touch
of God to those most in need. Our own faith is reinforced when we see how God’s presence can
strengthen a soul in the midst of suffering.
Praying for the living and the dead unites us to the
full Body of Christ — both in heaven and on earth
— and invites the power of God into the lives of our
living and deceased loved ones. When we give
God’s Mercy to others, it becomes a blessing to us
all!
