Great things happen when God mixes with his people. While I thank God that I have finally arrived and settling in, I on your behalf rejoice with our amiable Pastor Fr. Daniel Nascimento on his deep spiritual experience in Medjugorje.We joyfully await his return on October 6th. Let us remember to pray for his safe trip back to us.
Dear friends, we have entered the month of October which is dedicated to our blessed mother, Mary. Mary is a model of prayer and true discipleship. She interceded for the couple of Cana and they found favor with her son Jesus. May we, too, ask for her prayers for ourselves, family and loved ones. In a special way I invite us to a daily recitation of the rosary and meditation on the mysteries of the life of Jesus in the twenty mysteries of the rosary. It takes about fifteen minutes to say the rosary and I encourage all of us to make an effort in this special month.
Mary was a faithful disciple of Jesus, as she listened to what was said about Jesus and pondered in her heart as we too listen to the word of God, may we ponder it in our hearts and respond to it in our daily lives.
May our mother Mary, the Queen of all families, the mother of perpetual help and refuge of sinners pray for you and your loved ones and may all our prayers be granted by God through her intercession.
We are all called to prayer by joining the Rosary Rally on Saturday, October 12, 2013 at 12:00 noon at San Francisco U.N. Plaza on Market and 7th Street. The keynote speaker will be Most Reverend Salvatore J. Cordileone, Archbishop of San Francisco. The program will include Benediction and Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament.
Finally, I thank all of you for your help through this my period of transition. I thank all who were at the picnic, it was a lot of fun!
May the Lord bless you and keep you and may He let His face shine on you and give you peace, AMEN.
Fr. Theo
