21st SUNDAY in ORDINARY TIME
August 21, 2005
+++++++++++++++ Our Heavenly Father demands that we live our lives in a holy fashion -ever conscious of the sacrifice His Son
made.  The trials we face in this world only prepare us for the great reward that awaits us after our death.  We are comforted to know that Christ walks with us during our short life on earth.  He is an example of humility, patience, and faith.  Following in His footsteps, whatever our path lays before us, will make the road less travelled bearable.

VOCATION VIEW: Whom the Lord loves, He disciplines.
The best way to lead others through the narrow gate is to be formed and disciplined as a leader.
Then you can go through the narrow gate yourself.

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.
