St. Michael

~ St. Michael, Glorious Prince ~

The mission of St. Michael the Archangel parish is to bring about Jesus Christ’s Kingdom on earth, as it is in

heaven, through living and embracing our Catholic faith in worship, education, family, works of mercy

and evangelization. With the power of God’s love and the aid of St. Michael the Archangel and the Blessed

Virgin Mary, we shall enter into battle against the forces of darkness in the Turtle Mountain.

*** A Note from the Pastor ***

My Brothers and Sisters, Today our readings are about the virtue of wisdom. What does it mean to be a wise man and NOT a wise guy?

When I graduated from college, I was not rich, but God had blessed me with a good job, a movie and video game collection, and spending money (which I never had before). Despite all of this, I felt hollow and miserable. I bought everything I wanted, but it never made me happy for more than a day.

God led me to him in stages. I remember telling myself...if I only want the things that I already have...then I will be happy! That too worked for only a little while...because God was calling me. It was not until I listened and followed His call that I found my lasting happiness.

I am convinced that God has a unique call for everyone! For some, it can be to acts of kindness and charity...to others it is serving a specific person in love for the rest of their lives...and for me it was finding my Religious Family! True wisdom is knowing our deepest needs...which only Christ can tell us!

God Love You! Fr. Michael

Sunday Reading Insights

“Beyond all else, we prefer ‘the spirit of wisdom.’ Why? Because the wise person knows what he desires, since wisdom enables him to see what is really there. This is what the rich young man lacks. He comes to Jesus with constricting preconceptions that betray just how unaware he is of the One who stands before him. Christ sends him to the poor so that there he will experience the deepest need and longing of his heart. In such self-abandonment the young man can exchange his crippling self-reliance for total dependence on Christ. The living ‘Word of God’ gives us back our own life. ”
