Please Pray for Our SickIf you or a loved one has a serious illness, please contact the parish office. It is both our duty and privilege to administer sacraments and pastoral care.

What is the purpose of your life?Ever wonder what you are living your life for? What gives your life meaning and purpose? Can you really know God’s plan for your life?

If you have asked yourself these and other similar questions, the “Good News” message of the gospel is that you are not alone! These are the questions of our hearts and souls, and the Light of the World Retreat seeks to answer them within your own parish.

Go deeper.Attend the Light of the World Retreat!When you attend the Light of the World Retreat at St. Jude, you will learn what the clear message of the gospel means to you and how you can move ahead in your journey of faith.

See the gospel come alive!And learn how you can give purpose, meaning, and direction to your life.Experience community and fellowship as you delve into God’s love for us, our spiritual enemies, the person of Jesus Christ, making Jesus the Lord of your life, surrendering your life to the Holy Spirit, and more.

“Our hearts were made for You, O Lord, and they are restless until they rest in You.” - St. Augustine

ST. VINCENT DE PAUL SVDP SOCIETY UPDATE

Trusting God and trusting othersThe readings this week teach that God esteems the poor for their total trust in him. So often we meet people who have this trust.

Often they name it as a trust in God, sometimes it is a trust in the goodness of people and sometimes it is a trust in agencies who receive funds from the government. It is a trust all the same; they know they cannot cover all of their bills with their income and yet they are not despairing. They have humbled themselves to ask for help.

When people call the St. Vincent de Paul Society helpline, they usually request help with rent, utilities, or food. With your financial support we are able to help them with these corporal needs. We also have an opportunity to encourage them personally as they deal with their struggles, as well as provide information on education and employment opportunities and other resources. We tell them we are volunteers and our funds come from people in our church who care about them and pray for them. We want them to understand that it is really God who is providing for them, through us, and we encourage them to pray and join a church.

Most have some experience with church, but many have fallen away. When we asked a young woman with three small children if she had a home church, she answered yes, but she hadn’t been for several years. She said she attended with her grandmother and we could see in her face that she was recalling an easier time in her life. We encouraged her to return and find that support again.

A man in his thirties on dialysis, told us when he was in foster care he went to Catholic School for a few years. He started reminiscing. Something clearly stirred in him and we encouraged him to watch Mass on TV since he couldn’t leave his house.

After praying with a woman at the end of a visit, she was tearful and thanked us because she had forgotten how it felt to be close to God.

There are others we meet whose faith and trust are totally inspiring to us. A woman with multiple health issues shared with us that she looked forward to death because she trusted fully in the promise of heaven where there is no pain. She was cheerful and hopeful. As we turned and talked more about her financial needs and how much her son was able to help with, she expressed her frustration that he wasn’t going to church. She huffed, “He says he is doing okay and doesn’t need it. He’s doing okay only because I’m praying for him.” Her faith was inspiring.
