God, our Father, Creator and Lord of the Universe,
You have set the earth on its foundation and all the elements of nature obey your command.
We humbly beseech You to keep us safe from all dangers and calm the storms that threaten us.
May we be secure in Your loving protection and serve You always with grateful hearts. We ask this through our Lord, Jesus Christ, Your Son, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen.

Jubilee Year of Mercy October 9, 2016 Twenty-eighth Sunday in Ordinary Time Jubilee of Marian Devotion This weekend, the Jubilee honors Mary under the title Pope Francis suggests, “Mother of Mercy.” Recall the Good Samaritan Gospel. Priest and Levite saw suffering but showed no mercy. Recall the rich man, who never saw Lazarus right before his eyes, and showed no mercy. Today, Jesus sees ten lepers from afar and shows extraordinary mercy. Mary’s entire life, declares Francis, was modeled on Jesus, “Mercy-Made-Flesh.” Indeed, standing at the cross, Mary saw Jesus’ mercy take flesh when Jesus showed mercy to the executioners. So Pope Francis recommends we frequently pray the Salve Regina, Hail, Holy Queen, asking her to ever look upon us with mercy, so that we might be worthy to gaze upon the face of her merciful Son Jesus. May we do so not only in eternity, but here and now, opening our eyes to see Jesus in others, and our hearts to serve Jesus in others by loving deeds of unconditional mercy. —Peter Scagnelli, Copyright © J.

28th Sunday in Ordinary Time
“Has none but this foreigner returned to give thanks to God?” Luke 17:18
Most of us live “easy” lives. We have food, shelter and clothing. We go on vacation every year and own a car or two. Most of us take this all for grant-ed. Did you ever notice that people with the least amount of possessions are usually the most grateful? Shouldn’t this be the other way around? Take time every day and thank God for all He has given you.

H APPILY MARRIED
COUPLES “She knows I love her. I said so in the card I gave her for her last birthday.” “I haven’t got time for one of those enrichment things, I’m too busy with….other stuff.

It’s for anybody who believes that marriage is the most important relationship on earth. It’s for the couples who know they have it good and want to make it even better—it’s for couples like you!
