Vacation Bible School 2010

Once again Patricia D'Carpio well-planned and exiting lessons has captured the hearts and souls of the next generation of Catholics at St. Martha's. This year's program, entitled: Behold Thy Mother, captured the souls of our children who learned:

*Anything is possible with God

*We do NOT worship the Blessed Virgin Mary, we HONOR her as mother, intercessor, example

*The importance of the Rosary & Brown Scapular as tools for our salvation

Many thanks to all the volunteers who gave generously of their time photocopying and teaching. Special thanks to the home school moms for their generous donations of time, food, craft material, and behind the scenes technological support!

Prayer Warriors still needed

Is it just me or does everyone know someone who is seriously ill or terminal? How can we reach these people with the message of God's Mercy and wish to heal their souls, and oftentimes, and bodies? We need additional help. People to go out and carry this message: "God has always loved you, He waits for you to call upon Him. Do you need forgiveness? Anything you have done can be forgiven. Do you need healing? God WILL heal you spiritually, maybe even physically. Trust, trust, trust and let go. He will transform your life."

Works of Mercy Challenge: No. 7 Comfort the Afflicted


What is Mercy?

"Mercy as it is here contemplated is said to be a virtue influencing one's will to have compassion for, and, if possible, to alleviate another's misfortune. It is the teaching of St. Thomas Aquinas that although mercy is as it were the spontaneous product of charity, yet it is to be reckoned a special virtue adequately distinguishable from this latter (http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/10198d.htm)."

Who are the afflicted?

Basically anyone suffering mental or physical distress. The jobless, the homeless, the remorseful, the family member watching their loved one die. All of us at one time.

Our challenge is to be the outstretched arms of Jesus and take action now! Not convince ourselves that someone else will handle it. Sometimes that means a simple prayer~ but often it means stepping out of our comfort zone and taking a chance. It could be hugging the stranger sobbing in the chapel or engaging someone in conversation. If we only stop and open our eyes, the opportunities will arise.

To whom will you be Jesus today?
