PASTOR’S LETTER TODAY’S GOSPEL MESSAGE Sunday, October 1st Matthew 21:28-32

A man had two Today we welcome the Sisters of Life to join us at Eucharist sons. He came to the first and said, “Son, go out and to offer a reflection on Respect Life Sunday.

The man came to the other son I remember being edified and awed. The message the Sisters and gave the same order. He said in reply, “Yes, brought to us reminded us of our deeply held Catholic sir,” but did not go. Which of the two did his commitment to respect the sacredness of every child of God father’s will?’” from the moment of conception until natural death and at every stage in between. “The one who obeys the Lord, even reluctantly, is the one who does the will of the Father.” I must also confess that I was awed by the youth and the Source: Pastoral Patterns, Autumn 2017 vitality of the Sisters. At a moment when many religious orders, including my own beloved Carmelite community, are straining for new members, the Sisters of Life are growing and seem to be thriving. There is something “Our Lord does not look so much at the obvious to be learned here. Therefore, I want to thank greatness of our actions, or even at their Deacon Michael Giuliano and our Respect Life committee chaired by George McKenna for bringing the Sisters of Life difficulty, as at the love with which we to OLMC. do them.”
