17TH SUNDAY OF ORDINARY TIME
The second reading presents to us some of the characteristics of the new life of those who have been baptized. They are invited to be humble people ready to serve others. They must be patient and gentle and support each other in love after the example of their Master, Christ. The second part of the passage expands on the theme of unity and gives seven reasons why it is necessary that Christians be united: There is one Lord, one faith, one baptism and One God and Father of all. The unity of a faith community is not founded on the people having common selfish interest but unifying Love. Christians around the world are confronted by a myriad of reasons for being divided, based on race, tribe language, culture, political affiliation, financial conditions, among other factors. It is so sad that religion itself is often a reason for division. Unity can only be founded on the principle that all make up the one and only family of the children of God. This does not mean that all are equal or that differences will be wiped out. God has made us different in Christ for a purpose.
In receiving the body of Christ we are strengthened to be the body of Christ in the world.
The Blessed Mother, Mary. is our parish patroness and the true model of faith. We honor her through prayers of intercession.
Our mission includes striving to be a community of God's love and service in our community and the world.
Father Chumo hears confessions each Saturday from 2:00pm - 3:30 pm. This is a healing sacrament enjoyed by many, so come early!
