30th  SUNDAY in ORDINARY TIME
October   24,  2004
 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Today Catholics around the globe celebrate World Mission Sunday.  Our thoughts are directed to the men and women of faith, near and far, who bring life to the gospel message.  What payment do missionaries anticipate?  They expect nothing, but receive everything.  As Paul writes, “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.  The Lord will rescue me from every evil attack and save me for His heavenly kingdom.  It is all for the kingdom.

VOCATION VIEW:   If you exalt yourself, what do you leave for God to give you?
Rather, listen to God’s voice.  Doing His will is all you need to do.

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.
