ROSARY IN OCTOBER:

The Knights of Columbus are inviting everyone to participate in this great prayer during the month of October. It will be at our Cathedral Church on Thursdays at 6:30 pm. This will be in the new form for public recitation as presented by St Pope John Paull II.  With the sign of peace at the end, it takes on the form of a little liturgy complete with scripture, prayer chants and action! Do come and joins us on these Thursday evenings, earmarked for renewal in our understanding of the mystery of Faith!

INTERNATIONAL DAY OF PEACE – OR WORLD PEACE DAY:

Celebrated annually on September 21st is devoted
to strengthening the ideals of peace, both within and among all nations and peoples. At a time when war and violence often monopolize our news cycles, the International Day of Peace is an inspiring reminder of what we can create together. PEACE. Let’s give it chance! Established in 1981 by unanimous United Nations resolution, Peace Day provides a globally shared date for all humanity to commit to Peace above all diferences and to contribute to building a Culture of Peace. We all have a role to play in fostering peace. Tackling racism is a crucial way to contribute to this effort.

4 YOUTH:

What is a Patron Saint? Patron Saints are special protections or guardians over any area of life that is important to us, such as occupations, illnesses, churches, countries, causes etc. Patron Saints named by popes, but can be chosen because an interest, talent or event in their lives relates with a special area, St Francis of Assisi, for example, loved nature, so the is the Patron Saint of Ecologists. We should all have a Patron Saint. Why? For one thing we can use that saint’s life as an example for our own lives or we can ask for that saint’s intercessory prayers to God on our own behalf, kind of like asking a friend to pray for us. It would be a good project to do some internet research on Catholic saints and find one that would be a good Patron Saint for you.

PRAYER REFLECTION:
Jesus says: Whoever is not with Me is against Me; and whoever does not gather with Me scatters.” I
sometimes feel that my life is like scrubland, halfway between garden and desert. I sometimes feel that I lie in a world of twilight, halfway between day and night. I sometimes feel like lukewarm water, halfway between hot and cold. I sometimes feel that I am in a state of indiference halfway between love and hate. I sometimes feel I am trudging along a safe little path halfway between good and evil. Lord, save me from the illusion that because I am not against You, I am therefore for You. Above all, save me from being neutral.
