From Pastor’s desk:
Reflection: Matthew 22, 34-40.
You shall love God with all your heart and your
neighbor as yourself.
The Pharisees tested Jesus to see if he correctly understood the law as they did. Jesus startled them with his
profound simplicity and mastery of the law of God and
its purpose. What does God require of us? Simply that
we love as he loves! God is love and everything he
does flows from his love for us. God loved us first and our love for him is a
response to his exceeding grace and kindness towards us. The love of God
comes first and the love of neighbor is firmly grounded in the love of God.
The more we know of God’s love and truth the more we love what he loves
and reject what is hateful and contrary to his will. What makes our love for
God and his commands grow in us? Faith in God and hope in his promises
strengthens us in the love of God. They are essential for a good relationship
with God, for being united with him. The more we know of God the more we
love him and the more we love him the greater we believe and hope in his
promises. The Lord, through the gift of the Holy Spirit, gives us a new freedom to love as he loves
Lord, your love surpasses all. Flood our heart with your love and increase our
faith and hope in your promises. Help us to give ourselves in generous service to others as you have so generously given yourself to us.

Reflexión: Mateo 22,34-20.
Amarás a Dios con todo tu corazón y a tu prójimo como a ti mismo.
Los fariseos someterion a pruebra a Jesús para ver si ha entendido bien la ley

Blessed Mother Mary throughout the month of October. Thank you to All the choirs who participated
and to those who devoted their time to pray the Holy
Rosary before Mass.
We encourage families to continue to discuss the
importance of our Blessed Mother. Please continue to Honor her
by praying to her…the Hail Mary, the Holy Rosary and by praying
to her beloved son, our Lord Jesus Christ.
“We need to have the Knowledge of Mary within ourselves so that
thru her, Jesus can be known & loved. It is a Privileged Grace to
know Mary; A Gift to Us. Mary gives us many Graces; she gives us
Joy & Consoles our Hearts. We need to allow Mary to penetrate
our Hearts. We need to have Confidence in Mary & call out to
her. ‘O Immaculate Conception, Help me.’ There is no competition
between Jesus & Mary. Jesus wants us to turn to his Mother;
whom he made Our Mother. What joy it gives Jesus to have us all
Pray to her & Love her.”
St. Augustine said to Mary – ‘You are Worthy to be called the
Mold of God.’ We need to make Mary our mold.’ (Rev. James A.
Marshall, SJ)
Many Blessings to You All.
