Twentieth Sunday in Ordinary Time
Todays scriptures remind us that sinners resist truth, often preferring conflict and
division. We are all sinners and often resist difficult truth and change. Let us be open
to truth and smart about conflict! Dont try to win an argument and lose the
relationship. Run the race of life wisely. Pope Francis tells us to rejoice at the good
of others when we see their dignity and value their abilities and good works. This is
impossible for those who must always be comparing and competing. The Joy of Love

331 Holy Hours were kept before the Blessed Sacrament this past week.
(Continued testimony from an adorer) It only stands to reason that the Body,
Blood, Soul and Divinity of Christ is the surest way to find that personal
relationship with Christ. Ten years ago I was faced with a situation that was
impossible to be righted. There was no way that everything that needed to happen
could (or) was possible within my human abilities. Yet one day I realized that Christ
had arranged just that. I realized that I never even noticed it happening around me, I
felt ungrateful and then I felt awe. Somehow all of those things that were impossible
in my human capabilities were possible when Christ willed it. Life will continue to
present new challenges, but now I know how I will deal with them. I asked Christ to
open a door and I promised to walk through it with faith, not knowing what would
greet me on the other side. Christ restored my lifes work because it fit His Will for me
today. (Continued) Are you ready to sit with Our Lord one hour a week? JUST DO
IT! Contact Gene at 330-690-9661. We will cover your hour when you cannot. We
are in need of an adorer for Friday 7-8am. Please consider joining our team!
