RDGS 115: 1 Kgs 19:9a, 11-13a Ps 85:9-14
In the midst of our trials and tribulations, the Lord
extends his hands to us (3) and saves us (Ps). He calms our frightened hearts
through his quiet presence (1). May our faith in the Lord draw God’s chosen
people to the new covenant in Christ (2).
Stewardship
Elijah recognized the voice of God not in the strong and heavy wind,
not in the earthquake, and not in the fire, but in a tiny whispering sound. May
we find enough quiet in our clamorous world to hear His voice and discern what
He is calling us to do and be.
PLEASE
PRAY FOR ALL OF OUR PARISHIONERS
For
those who are ill, especially: Patricia
Ryan, Josephine Sarnoski, Blanche Ferraro, Al & Ruth Schraeder, Elizabeth
Connelly, Genevieve Casey, Christine Dyke, Peter Yazgier, Alexandra Collard, Maura
O’Farrell and Peter Foxwell.
The only reason to ever look down at someone else is
if you are helping them up.
