We
pray for all the sick in our parish,
especially: Dolton Delahoussaye, Jack
Devine, and Lory Manzano.
May God bless them and keep them in His
care.
In
today’s second reading, St. Paul
encourages us not to grow weary or lose
heart, but to persevere in following
Jesus. Our willingness to give of
ourselves, even in the face of conflict
and division, is one way to measure our
discipleship.
