Dear Friends in Christ,
“Many are invited, but few are chosen.” God invites us to know, love and serve Him. But He does not force us to reply in the affirmative. He awaits our answer. Let us not make Him wait any longer. Here is my response: JESUS, I LOVE YOU!
+Congratulations to Eloise Mae Mushitz, who will receive the Sacrament of Baptism today (Sunday) in Saint Martin of Tours Church.
+God's choicest Blessings upon Dave and Sandy Kayser as they celebrate forty years of married love in Christ!
+Let us pray for Father Paul Josten, Diane Moen, Father Dana Christensen, Father Ken Lulf, Father Antonio Ramos and Kathy Engerbrecht.
+Happy Feast Day of Saint Teresa of Avila this Thursday, October 15th to our Carmelite Sisters.
"What is Your Question?"
By Father Ben Miriam
Q. Saint Paul wrote (1 Corinthians 13:13) that Charity is greater than both Faith and Hope. Is this true?
A. Yes. The Holy Spirit inspired Saint Paul to write this statement. All of The Holy Bible is inspired by the Holy Spirit and is, therefore, true. Charity is the supernatural virtue that makes us most like unto God, Who possesses Charity but not Faith and Hope. Saint Thomas Aquinas (+1274) wrote that Charity is "the most excellent of the virtues." The Catechism of the Catholic Church (1992) declares that Charity is the virtue "by which we love God above all things for His own sake, and our neighbor as ourselves for the love of God." May we do what is necessary--worthy reception of the Sacraments, abiding veneration of Our Blessed Lady, daily prayer, sincere service to our neighbor, generous patience and self-denial--to grow in Charity.
