St. Mary’s Catholic Church

Rev. Joseph F. McDonald, III JCL, Pastor Deacon George Canney

Located at the Corner of First & Polk, Moscow, Idaho

November 4, 2018 Thirty-First Sunday in Ordinary Time

Hear, O Israel! The Lord our God is Lord alone! You shall love the Lord your God

with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your

strength. The second is this: You shall love your neighbor as yourself.

—Mark 12:29b-31a

Sharing

There isn’t much that I can do,

but I can share my bread with you,

and I can share my joy with you,

and sometimes share a sorrow, too

—as on our way we go.

There isn’t much that I can do,

but I can sit an hour with you,

and I can share a joke with you,

and sometimes share verses too

—as on our way we go.

There isn’t much that I can do,

but I can share my songs with you,

and I can share my mirth with you,

and sometimes come and laugh with you

—as on our way we go.

There isn’t much that I can do,

but I can share my friends with you,

and I can share my life with you,

and sometimes share a prayer with you

—as on our way we go. Amen.
