PASTORAL STAFF "God greatly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every Very Rev. Edward J. Quinlan name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bend, of those in heaven and Pastor on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.” (Philippians 2: 9 - 11) Reverend Michael G. Metzgar Parochial Vicar THIRTEENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME Today's first reading from the Book of Wisdom says that it is by the Deacon Joseph J. Wrabel envy of the devil that death entered into the world. Angels were created Permanent Deacon before humans. They were given free will. They could choose God or reject Him. Some angels in their pride attempted to make themselves equal to Deacon Jerome T. Foerster God. St Michael the Archangel, whose name means "Who is equal to Permanent Deacon God?" defeated them, and banned Satan from any contact with the Lord of Life. Satan went from being Lucifer, the name that means God's MASSES Lightbearer, to the Prince of Darkness. Satan could not defeat God's angels, but he could make war on God’s most beautiful physical creature, Weekends: man. He tried to destroy mankind with the same sin that he committed: the Saturday Vigil5:00 p.m. sin of pride. He told mankind, Adam and Eve, that if they disobey God they Sunday8:00 a.m., 10:15 a.m., will be gods themselves. Man pushed God aside, made their own 12:00 noon, 6:00 p.m. selfishness their god, turned from the Lord of Life and embraced death. Weekdays: Mankind continues to do this. Satan continues to wage war and win battles. (Weekday schedule subject to change - please see inside bulletin) So, God did not cause evil. Evil came into the world because mankind Mon-Thu.6:30 a.m., 8:00 a.m. chose sin over goodness. God did not make death. Mankind chose death Friday..6:30 a.m., 8:00 a.m. by rejecting the Lord of Life. Saturday8:30 a.m. God's love for mankind was not limited. He destroyed death through an act of complete giving, complete selflessness. He became one of us CONFESSIONS and then told evil to throw its worst at him. It did. He was crucified. But Saturday9:00 a.m. - 9:30 a.m. Jesus destroyed death through sacrificial love. He rose from the dead and 3:30 p.m. - 4:30 p.m. then gave us His Life. - Excerpted from Rev. Msgr. Joseph A. Pellegrino, Diocese of St. Petersburg, FL
