“To Know, to Love and to Serve Christ Among His People, and to Seek the Lost”

Twenty-Ninth Sunday October 20, 2019 Weak Faith … Weak Prayer

Dear brothers and sisters, Every Christian lives through inner warfare and inner peace. In order to find peace we are to win the warfare. The Lord says, ‘I’m going to be with you; but you need to get out there and fight.’ You and I say, “I didn’t sign

up for this.” It’s what the Lord signed you and I up for. Moses said to Joshua to fight against the enemies, Amalekites, while he prays, raising his hands, with the rod of God. When he was weary, Aaron, his brother, and Hur, his brother-in-law, set a rock for Moses to sit upon; and when his hands were tired, they both held his hands up in prayer. This is what Jesus says, “It is necessary for us to pray without becoming weary.” Therefore, PUSH [Pray Until Something Happens]. Weak faith is weak prayer. Seek help! Or Reach out to help others. Jesus told Peter “Go and strengthen your brothers.” [Lk 22:32] Paul traveled and strengthened all the disciples. [Acts 18:33] He imparted some spiritual gifts to strengthen. [Rom.1:11] Timothy was sent to strengthen and encourage. [1Thess. 3:2] This is what we do as Christians. We strengthen and hold up each other’s arms. The prayer power has never been tried to its full capacity. If we want to see mighty wonders of divine power and grace wrought in the place of weakness, failure and disappointment, let us answer God’s standing challenge, "Call to me, and I will answer you; I will tell you wonderful and marvelous things that you know nothing about.’ [Jer. 33:3] You and I are called to fight the good fight like Joshua, while Jesus, Holy Spirit, your priest, your family and friends praying for you. Our help is from the Lord. Therefore, let us pray, strengthen, and encourage one another. My prayers are always for you! Msgr. Xavier

New Diocesan Program for

High

Schoolers * Prepared & tailored for our young

people

As Christian adults, we have a moral and legal responsibility and are entrusted by God with the spiritual, emotional and physical well being of minors and vulnerable adults as they participate in activities within or sponsored by our parish and our Diocese. It is our responsibility and commitment to provide an environment which is safe and nurturing.

An Acceptance Certificate for Service (ACS) is required of all Church personnel - Clergy, religious, seminarians, paid employees and volunteers engaged in ministry with minors and vulnerable adults. The ACS is granted after completing the required background check and Safe Environment

training; commitment to the Code of Ethics and Integrity for Conduct of Church Personnel / Volunteers is also required.

Church personnel / volunteers must register with their parish administrator by filling out a registration form. Once they are entered into the database, they will receive e-mails about the background check and the Code of Conduct. The cost of the background check is $16. You must complete the Background Check and acknowledge the Code of Conduct before you may attend the training.

Before service begins and every three years thereafter, church personnel / volunteers will take the training, in which they will view Praesidium’s CASE video and participate in facilitated discussion. During years 2 and 3, all will complete ongoing education online. You must register for the training in the church office.

Our Parish Administrator is Beth Kennedy. You may contact her at 903-295-3890 or churchoffice@stmattlgv.com to register for the training, or for more information.
