From the Pastor's Desk:

My Dear Parishioners,

This is the Eleventh Sunday in Ordinary Time. Today we learn that God is gracious in interacting with humans. God calls individuals to share in the spreading of the divine message of God's love.

In the First Reading, Moses hears God's summon and reacts. In the Gospel, Jesus' response to the compassion He feels towards the people around Him who are hurting, is to send His "apostles" to minister to their needs and proclaim God's message.

This is a good time to think about your vocation. Your vocation is what God is calling you to do with your life, with your relationship with God, with your dealings with others.

Because of our relationship with God, especially through baptism, all of us have a vocation, a calling. We are called to be part of the family of God, the sheep of the Lord Jesus' flock. God has already given us more than we are worth. As sinners, we are not worthy of the price that Jesus paid to reconcile us. Yet because we have received the benefits of the cost He has already paid, we are to live out our calling (our vocation) without expecting or needing any monetary rewards.

Our daily living and our treatment of others should be the pulpit from which we proclaim God's love and compassion for others. Our vocation should lead us to shepherd them back to the flock of the Lord Jesus.

Listen for the call of Jesus Who invites you to assist Him in working in His harvesting of souls and serving the lambs of His flock. Amen!

God Bless You,

Fr. George, MSFS
