Have you ever taken faith for granted? Faith, like many other things in our world, requires constant care. Either it grows or it dies. If we feed faith with prayer and service to others, it will grow. If we exercise faith only at certain times, in certain places, and under certain circumstances, we will struggle to hold onto a relationship with God. Because faith is trust in a God that lives within us, it moves and breathes and grows as we live.
In the parable of the Ten Virgins, Jesus equates feeding faith with being alert, waiting for the coming of the Christ. We have no choice but to wait for the Lord. But we have options to stay prepared. We can feed our faith through prayer and study. We can feed others through our heartfelt works of charity and example. Or we can put our faith on the shelf and just wait for the right day to dust it off. If we choose the latter, however, beware! We may find there is no faith left.
How has your growth in faith involved struggle with distraction, lack of time, and evil itself? How do you think God sees your struggles? Take one of your personal struggles and pray about it every day this week. At the end of the week, reflect on how God got involved in the struggle, and where He is leading you. ...

We remember and honor our beloved faithful departed in the month of November. We honor with great respect the memory of those names already in our book of the deceased in front of the ambo. Please feel free to add any new loved ones you wish to remember by signing their name on the sheets in the narthex. If you have added their name to the book in previous years, it need not be added again.
May perpetual light shine upon them. May their souls and all the souls of the faithfully
departed rest in peace. Amen. ...

Saints are those who live out the Beatitudes. They are happy when living the Christian lifestyle is not convenient. Saints are ordinary people who do extraordinary things even in the face of criticism and persecution. They belong to Christ. The power of the Spirit flows through them, even in subtle ways. They are the poor in spirit, the peacemaker, the pure in heart, the ones who thirst for the right way to God. They are the faithful.
When we strive to live out the Beatitudes, we are saints. Sainthood is a lifelong process, not merely a reward in Heaven. It is a life of accepting God's gifts and acting on them, even in imperfect ways. Sainthood is trying to live out the Beatitudes, not a question of succeeding.
What can you do today to be a saint and live out the Beatitudes? ...
