15th SUNDAY in ORDINARY TIME
July 10, 2005
+++++++++++++++ Using the parable in today’s gospel, Jesus wants us to know that God pours out His grace on everyone.  We are all given the help to attain salvation.  No matter what our past transgressions have been - we can still become the “good soil” that bears fruit.  How to get on track - a contrite and humble heart, a soul  prepared to receive the Holy Spirit and Holy stubbornness to persevere in the face of difficulties. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++

VOCATION VIEW: Treating others with compassion is a mark of a follower of Jesus,
whether known as The Good Samaritan, Mother, Priest, Sister, Deacon or Brother.
Pray for vocations.

  PRAYER FOR VOCATIONS O God, who has chosen the Apostles to propagate the faith & to establish Your Holy Church throughout the world, we earnestly beseech You to choose from amongst our people many priests, deacons, religious brothers & sisters and lay persons who will gladly devote their entire lives in making YOU known & loved by all.
Through the intercession of Our Blessed Lady, we ask this through Christ our Lord.   Amen.
