25th SUNDAY in ORDINARY TIME
September 18th, 2005
+++++++++++++++ Affording even the bare necessities required to live in our Western and modern society demands individuals to seek employment: either working for someone else in a specialized field, or going into business for ourselves.   God wants to bless us with more than the basic requirements of survival, but what he asks us from us is flexibility, fairness, and generosity.  We are not to exploit His good and holy gifts.  “Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, then all these things shall be added unto you.” ++++++++++++++++++++++++++

ADORATION OF THE MOST BLESSED SACRAMENT IN THE CHAPEL ALL DAY THURSDAY

VOCATION VIEW: Do you think it is the Lord who is motivating you to make lots

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.
