We, the people of Saint Rose of Lima, called by God to proclaim the mystery of Christ’s saving presence, commit ourselves to serve our God, our Church, and our Community by the total giving of ourselves to the divine plan He has for us: “For I know well the plans I have for you, says the Lord, plans for your welfare, ...a future full of hope.” (Jer. 29:11) Formed by the Living Word of God, strengthened by the Eucharist, committed to Perpetual Adoration, we celebrate the uniqueness of each of us, placing ourselves at the service of all. We long to be one body in Christ. “THEY DEVOTED THEMSELVES TO THE TEACHING OF THE APOSTLES AND TO THE COMMUNAL LIFE, TO THE BREAKING OF THE BREAD AND TO THE PRAYERS.” ACTS 2:42 Saint Rose of Lima R.C.

The words, of course, are based on 7:30pm (English/Spanish Mass) today’s Gospel, in which we are called as disciples to be salt and light for the world. Children are uninhibited about sharing their faith. It’s only when we grow older that we prefer to hide our light under a bushel basket because our culture tends not to emphasize discipleship. The message in this week’s readings is clear: in order to give glory to God through our discipleship, we must show the light of Christ in our words and deeds. Not an easy thing for Parish Multi-Cultural Committee inhibited adults. Often we may think of salt and light is Forming in terms of what we do for others, but it can be just as important not to do something, such as getting Be part of this group which will focus angry with the stranger on the road, or telling an on the diversity in our Parish Family. offensive joke.
