Dear People of St. Patrick Parish,
The readings today remind us that Holy Scripture is the word of God, all Scripture is inspired by God.
Yes, the Bible is the word of God, it must be treated with the greatest reverence, solemn oaths are taken by touching a bible. We stand for the readings of the Gospels.
The Old Testament was written before Christ, the New Testament was written after the Ascension of Christ.
We hear Jesus read from the Old Testament from the Book of the Prophet Isaiah about the coming of the anointed one and then Jesus says that He is that anointed one sent by God the Father.
All Christians baptized should really learn to understand and live the word of God as expressed in the Bible.
We should study the Word of God.
We should listen and pray over what we read, hear and put it into action in our daily lives.
Every Monday morning, 8:15-9:15am, I review the Scripture readings for the
coming Sunday and then repeat the class on Tuesday evening, 7:30-8:30pm.
Everyone is welcome to attend.
This week is Catholic Schools Week, we give thanks to God from all of us who had the
opportunity to attend a Catholic School at some time in our lives.
We pray that more children will have the opportunity to receive a Catholic School education.
We pray for all those teachers who have taught, are teaching and now preparing to teach in our Catholic Schools.
Please encourage your family members, friends and neighbors, to consider sending their children to our St. Patrick Catholic School and Infant Care Center. Maybe even help them to help pay for their tuition. Open House today, 10:30 to noon.
Thank you, God, for giving us our Catholic Schools.
God Bless,
Fr. Larry Young
Your Pastor
