Mary Queen of Heaven - A Word from Our PastorRespect Life: Next week we celebrate Respect Life Sunday. Life begins with conception and continues to death. Respecting life includes our openness to life as husbands and wives in marriage. Every child is a tremendous blessing. Respecting life continues through nine months of pregnancy, through birth and child rearing, to all the things we learn and all the struggles we face and all the moments we most enjoy. Respecting life means every moment of every person's life, with their successes and their failures. WE respect life unto natural death. Life is precious to us, even when abilities have been lost. It is precious to us, even when crimes have been committed. God continues to love, and so must we. That is the essence. Respecting life is to love all lives even as God loves us.
Many, Many Saints: We celebrate St. Wenceslaus martyred in 929 for his attempt to unite Bohemia in the faith, St. Lawrence Ruiz and companions, early 17th century martyrs of the far East, the Archangels St. Michael, St. Gabriel and St. Raphael, St. Jerome 4th-5th century biblical scholar, St. Therese of the Child Jesus, 19th century Carmelite who shared the Little Way, and the Holy Guardian Angels, protectors for us and aids in prayer. Every Saint is a blessing, model and guide for us. Thanks be to God.
Readings for next week: Isaiah 5:1-7; Philippians 4:6-9; Matthew 21:33-43
Reflection: We have the luxury of hearing Jesus' parable with complacency. We can smugly say to ourselves, "He is not talking to us. It is the people of Israel and their leaders who killed the prophets and who would eventually come to kill Jesus." Jesus' words are intended for our ears. Like the generations that lived before us, we are no more than tenants. Everything that belongs to God. We are the stewards of a world we did not create, and which does not belong to us. God expects us to produce according to the talents and means that he has placed in our charge. When we fail to recognize God's rightful claim on us, we join us in the sin of our ancestors who turned God's prophets away. We are responsible for the fruits of our culture, our Church and our lives. Nothing must stand in the way of a record harvest.
Prayer: We give you thanks, Dear Father, for the confidence you place in us. Your constant encouragement gives us the strength to meet every challenge. May the work we do always give you praise. -
