A
Reflective Prayer
"The last shall be first and
the first shall be last."
My dear Lord you know how often I have only thought about myself.
I did not care for the needs of my brothers and sisters though.
The lack of giving time to them. The lack of giving some of my
energy to do some work for them. The lack of giving from my resources
in sharing with the In a world that places great emphases on personal
achievements at the cost of living the gospel message of "
Love one another as I have loved you."
May you help me to examine my life through personal prayer, mass
attending and reflection. May you give me strength to turn from
selfishness (me, myself and I). May you open my eyes to see the
needs of my brothers and sisters in the community in which I live!
Amen.
Prayer
for Vocations
God
our Father, send workers into your harvest. May the Spirit we
received in Baptism touch the hearts of many to offer themselves
in priesthood, religious life, and other forms of service. Give
the parents and families of our parish, the wisdom and courage
to support young people, in searching for and following the call
of God in their lives
The One-Sentence Sermon:
Give God what is right, not what is left.

Profession Of Faith
We believe in one God,
the Father, the Almighty,
maker of heaven and earth,
of all that is, seen and unseen.
We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ,
the only Son of God,
eternally begotten of the Father,
God from God, Light from Light,
true God from true God,
begotten, not made,
of one Being with the Father.
Through him all things were made.
For us and for our salvation
he came down from heaven:
(All bow during the next three lines)
by the power of the Holy Spirit
he became incarnate from the
Virgin Mary, and was made man.
For our sake he was crucified under
Pontius Pilate;
he suffered death and was buried.
On the third day he rose again
in accordance with the Scriptures;
he ascended into heaven
and is seated at the right hand of
the Father.
He will come again in glory to judge
the living and the dead,
and his kingdom will have no end.
We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord,
the giver of Life,
who proceeds from the Father and
the Son.
With the Father and the Son he is
worshiped and glorified.
He has spoken through the Prophets.
We believe in one holy catholic and
apostolic Church.
We acknowledge one baptism for the
forgiveness of sins.
We look for the resurrection of the
dead, and the life of the world to
come. Amen.
