THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK
God summons us, through the power of the Holy Spirit, to celebrate at church. It is there we are fed at the tables of the word and the Eucharist. It is there that we discover the presence of Christ in one another. It is there Jesus gives the gift of rest for all our labors and burdens. Open your hearts to the tremendous grace that God gives. As you continue to be formed in living your life as a Catholic, please take heart and continue to come to God with all of your burdens. He will keep His promise and give you rest.
