How can we renounce all of our possessions? We need them to live. However, what we must renounce is the belief that they belong to us. Everything that we have belongs to God alone. All of our resources are entrusted to us not only for our own use, but also so that we can help others. Once we renounce the idea that we possess or are entitled to anything, it is much easier to share the many gifts that God has given us. Then we truly are His Disciples.

PRO-LIFE CHAIN TODAY OCTOBER 2 – Please plan to give this hour of time TODAY from 2:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. by the cemetery in Sabetha along Old Hwy 75, to prayerfully witness in our community to the importance of the dignity of all human life, especially the littlest and most defenseless among us. Please come give your time for this very critical issue of our day. This killing of babies and harming of mothers and fathers must be put to an end, together let's stand up for Life ! MARRIAGE MINUTE OCT. 2 – Have you ever “tuned out” your spouse or said, “There he goes again, or she never listens to me.” While this is not uncommon, it can reveal a road block to greater intimacy in marriage and with God. The spousal relationship between husband and wife mirrors the relationship we have with God. If we take God for granted, we will tend to take our wife for granted. If we take our spouse for granted, we will tend to take God for granted. This week’s Psalm gives us great advice for either scenario, “If today you hear His voice, harden not your heart.” If you want to improve your relationship with God, start with more attentive listening to your spouse. Devote your entire attention to the one you love. To improve listening, remember: • Eye contact; • Repeat back what you hear; • Listening is different than waiting to talk; • Turn off the phone or TV to avoid the temptation of distraction.

DIVINE MERCY MEDITATION, WORDS OF OUR LORD TO ST. MARIA FAUSTINA - Entrust everything to Me and do nothing on your own, and you will always have great freedom of spirit. No circumstances or events will ever be able to upset you. Set little store on what people say. Let everyone judge you as they like. Do not make excuses for yourself, it will do you no harm (Diary, 1685). My Prayer Response: Lord Jesus, help me to entrust everything to You and do nothing on my own, so I will always have great freedom of spirit. MERCY & MARY RETREAT WITH FR.
