Prqcr ltcIto,
Todays Gospel parable teaches us that Gods kingdom is for all
who would follow Him. Those who were called early were upset
that those who were called late received the same wage, which is
salvation. What are your personal prejudices? Pray for the strength
to overcome these.

Middle East. Funds will be used by Catholic Relief Services and
other Catholic agencies working together with the local churches in
Iraq, Gaza, Syria, and surrounding countries to which refugees have
fled. Collection baskets may be found at the back of the
chapel on the baptismal font. Please be generous!

FR. ISAAC HECKER QUOTE
This union of the inner and outer divine action
is the secret source of Catholic life; the inward
principle prompts the obedience of Catholics to
the divine external authority of the holy
Church. From this is born the consciousness of
the souls filiation with God, whence flows
that perfect love and liberty which always
accompanies this divine Sonship.
[The Church and the Age, 1886]

of the Paulist Fathers
