Mary Queen of Heaven - A Word from Our PastorVocations: Every one of us is called by God. We have vocations. Some are called to priesthood, diaconate or religious life. Some are called to marriage. Some are called to live a single life. None of these is greater than the other. They are all who God has called us to be. Within these vocations there are distinctions. We are called on different career paths. We are called to raise children. We are called to different ministries. These can change over time. The way I experience priesthood has changed over the years. Parents become grandparents. The way we celebrate our marriages develops and changes over the years. The key is that at every step God is with us. Never forget that whatever your vocation may be, it is always as a follower of Christ.
Readings for next week: Proverbs 31:10-13,16-18,20,26,28-31; 1 Thessalonians 5:1-6; Matthew 25:14-30
Reflection: God blesses us with many gifts, and we are called to use those gifts well and in His service. We are more closely joined to the life and work of God Himself, when we use our gifts well. The blessing we receive is without limit. God is always adding to what we have received and used well. God gives us His gifts freely. To give is to serve. Neither man nor woman has ever received a greater call than the one to service, or a greater blessing than God's own praise, "Well done, may good and faithful servant, come share in your Master's joy."
Prayer: Father, we ask your blessing upon all those who have loved and served us in faith. Bless our mothers and fathers and teachers, and all who have taken the time to comfort and hear us. Reward their service, Lord, with a share in your glory. -
