AS WE REJOICE & CELEBRATE WITH SISTER BENITA this weekend on her 60th Anniversary as a Sister of St. Francis of Sylvania, Ohio, and her 35 years of service to our parish, let us also take time to remember the gift of so many women from our parish who joined the Sisters of St. Francis, and also the Sisters of St. Francis who have served at Holy Cross. This weekend the Sisters will be remembered and named at the St. Francis altar. Take a moment to stop at the St. Francis altar at the back of church and offer a prayer for these valiant women who have served the church and our parish so well. |
FATHER GLEN’S THOUGHTS….. In the Gospel this Sunday Jesus urges us to strive to enter by the narrow door. It is not enough to be around the Lord and those who serve him to enter paradise with him. We must be actively involved with the Lord in our lives and joining in with our brothers and sisters in the faith in serving the needs of his people. If we engage in our faith actively then we will see eternal life in paradise with Jesus. We must not simply observe from the sidelines of faith but actively live our faith. At Holy Cross this Sunday there will be a celebration for Sister Benita on her jubilee, sixty years of religious profession as a Franciscan sister serving Jesus. She is an example of committed service to Jesus. Each of us can be an example of serving Jesus with dedication in whatever walk of life we travel. If we live our faith with dedication then each of us would be worthy of being celebrated as an example of dedicated faith. Mary whose assumption we honored last Sunday will help us to live our faith and find joy in doing so. Mary our Queen pray for us now and at the hour of our death.
