F+>2/< E77+8?/6’= W//56C P<+C/< My prayer for you this week is taken from the book of Numbers 31:49. IǤ ǣǑǩǣ: “...and they said to Moses, ‘Your servants have taken a census of men of war who are in our charge, and no man of us is missing.’” After the Israelites went to battle against the Midianites and prevailed, God spoke to Moses to take a count of his men who were involved in the war. The officers who conducted the census came back and reported to Moses that none of his men were missing. When the battle against Covid19 is over, may you not be missing! May no one of your family be missing! “Far be it from us to forsake the Lord for May none of our church members be missing, in Jesus name, Amen! the service of other gods.” We struggle with our gods. They appear in the forms of things like money, power, M Father Emmanuel prestige, popularity, privilege, and selffulfillment. We like these “gods” because they make us feel good and ask very little of us in return. When we worship them, we worship ourselves. How can you go wrong with that? We buy into the illusion that if something can give us a comfortable life, free of want and need, then it is worth setting other things aside to pursue it. In essence, we sell our souls. Our struggle with “who is God” and to whom do we belong is a real one and one that can easily find us empty and experiencing disillusionment. Dear Parishioners, The devil tempted Jesus in the desert and promised Further threat of the spread of COVID19 and the him more. We are promised “more.” But in pursuing the Delta variant has arisen. The CDC and the more and the satisfying we lose track of the cost, and the Archdiocese of Hartford recommend that all cost is great.

While the true and real God certainly indoor settings. It is promises us many things, many things are also required. It is also recommended not about the warm and secure feelings and selfabsorption that fully vaccinated the world wants to provide, but of giving back. persons wear masks in There can be no lukewarm stance with regard to faith. public indoor settings If we are in, then faith in Jesus Christ asks us to do some in areas of substantial difficult things: work in service of God’s kingdom (not our or high transmission. own), love our enemies, offer no resistance to injury, that For the good of all, we must die to ourselves in order to find ourselves, and we are therefore reinstating, for now, the trust that Jesus truly gives us his flesh and blood to eat and requirement that all who enter our churches drink. These are hard things to accept and even harder to resume the wearing of masks at all times. put into practice. It is no wonder that many, who may be M Father Emmanuel attracted to Jesus at first, walk away in pursuit of the more selfsatisfying gods. But truth is truth. If we cannot accept it from the lips of Friday evening Adoration Jesus Christ, then where else will we find it? To whom can Schedule & Community Prayer we go?
