Remembering the Deeds of the Lord

Tonight our Juniors will mark the half-way point in their Central Catholic experience by assisting at Mass and receiving their class rings or pins. It is a time for them to look back and look ahead. These words from the Psalmist are fitting for them as well as for all of us as we reflect on who we are, where we are and where we are going:
I will meditate on all your work
And muse on your deeds.
Your way, O God, is holy;
What god is great as our God?
You are the God who works wonders;
You have made known your strength among the peoples.
Psalm 77: 11-12

Today the Church remembers St. Paul of the Cross, founder of the Passionist Fathers, Brothers and Sisters, whose mission is to help others remember the great love of God for us by sending his Son to die on the Cross for us and give us the possibility of new and eternal life. They do this by their preaching and retreat work. In light of this greatest of God's deeds, 0ur prayer, meditation and dealings with others, particularly with our Juniors today, can share in the Passionist mission.

May God's endless blessings continue to be with us all.
Bro. Rene
