Today is the 12th Sunday in the Ordinary Season. During the 8:00 a.m. mass, I read this introduction which I thought I'd like to share with you. It's taken from today's issue of the Sambuhay misalette.
... as we confront the varied storms of life - troubles, disappointments, accidents, illnesses - God's Word today invites us to renew and deepen our faith and trust. Jesus wants us to be more aware and convinced that He stays with us and guides us safely through the storms of life.
Last June 19, the feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the World Day of Prayer for the Sanctification of Priests, in celebration of the 150th anniversary of the death of the saintly Curé of Ars, St. John Mary Vianney, Pope Benedict XVI solemnly opened The Year of Priesthood.
Let us be one with the Holy Father in calling our priests to be "present, identifiable and recognizable - for their judgement of faith, personal virtues and attire - in the fields of culture and of charity, which have always been at the heart of the Church's mission."
