Dear Friends,
“I give you a new commandment, love one another. As I have loved you, so you also should love one another. This is how all will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.” Jesus’ mission is the mission of love. His words are full of life as manifest in His own activity of love. In the gospel passage, Jesus is at the last supper as He prepares to lay down His life for the flock He shepherds. He will was the feet of the disciples as a symbol of love, a symbol of the cross. The symbol recesses as He takes up the cross and manifests the greatest love – “to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.” The apostles and disciples take up this command as they spread the gospel, missionaries of love. Today, we are those disciples and missionaries of His love in our families, neighborhoods, schools and places of work.
In the Fall we will be adjusting the daily Mass schedule. On Tuesdays from Labor Day to Memorial Day the daily Mass time will be moving from 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. The change in time will allow the opportunity for different classes of our school to participate during the school year. From Memorial Day to Labor Day the Tuesday daily Mass time will remain 8:00 a.m. Thanks for your understanding as we make this adjustment.
Please welcome Mr. Chuck Dern to Our Lady of Grace who will be speaking this weekend after Communion on the annual Catholic Charities Appeal. Thank you for your generosity in supporting the many and varied works of outreach that Catholic Charities provide for the needy in our Archdiocese.
At the 10:00 a.m. Mass this week, several of our Boy Scouts and Cub Scouts will be receiving their religious emblems/awards. They have worked hard all year in fulfilling the requirements for these badges. Please congratulate them for this accomplishment.
God bless,
Monsignor Prior
