Annunciation BVM and St. Hilary Parishes are a community of Catholics under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. We proclaim the Good News of through worship, service and fellowship, in cooperation with the Bishop of Thunder Bay, in order to bring forth the values of the Kingdom of God. (44) 26th Sunday of Ordinary Time - C - September 29, 2019 This Sunday’s passage is entirely taken up with one par- able. It is in three sections – each one is a story in it- self : - an introductory scene ending with the death of both Lazarus and the rich man; –a first dialogue be- tween the rich man and ; – a second dialogue between them. Then it says to us: remember an experi- ence like that and you will know what happens when God comes into people’s lives. As in every story, you must find yourself identifying with one of the characters; for example, in this there are three characters – the rich man, Lazarus, and Abraham. Lord, there are times when we feel very lonely, ignored by everyone, as if we were at the gate of a very wealthy man, longing to fill ourselves with scraps from his table. But you lead us from there to an experience of security :– a moment of deep prayer; – we feel loved by our family; – we find ourselves in a group which shares our values. We feel as if we had been gathered into the bosom of our ancestors, safe from all those who would send us here and there for their own purposes, as safe as if a great gulf had been fixed between us to stop anyone who wanted to from crossing from our side to theirs, and to stop anyone crossing from their side to ours. Thank you, Lord.

The Holy Spirit gives us the words to say. Who is the real driving force of evan- gelization in our lives and in the Church? Paul VI wrote clearly: “It is the Holy Sprit who today, just as at the beginning of the church, acts in every evangelizer who allows himself to be possessed and led by him. The Holy Spirit places on his lips the words which he could not find by himself, and at the same time, the Holy Sprit predisposes the soul of the hearer to be open and receptive to the Good News and to the kingdom being proclaimed.” To evangelize, therefore, it is necessary to open ourselves once again to the horizon of God’s Spirit, without being afraid of what he asks us or of where he leads us. Let us entrust ourselves to him! He will enable us to live out and bear witness to our faith, and will illuminate the heart of those we meet.
