Give God Permission
Mother Teresa of Calcutta had a wonderful way of saying very important things using very few words. A Catholic bishop once asked Mother Teresa how he could improve his spiritual life; Mother replied: “Give God permission.” Those three words convey an important spiritual truth: that we have to give God permission to direct us and our entire lives according to His holy will.
Many of us ask God for signs: signs that reassure us about the decisions we are making, or what is the best direction for our lives. We seek signs that reassure us that God genuinely cares about us and that we are not alone. Yet, how many of the saints like Mother Teresa remind us that Christian faith is not so much about asking God for signs, but giving God permission to make me into a sign; that my very life becomes a testimony to the presence, love and action of God at work in the world in 2020. I encourage each of us to give God permission to be God of our lives and transform us into signs of His presence and love.
Father Mike

Praying our Parish Rosary
Every Sunday at 10:20am in church, we pray the Glorious Mysteries of the Holy Rosary for the intentions of our parish, in particular for those written in the Intention Book located at the statue of St. Raphael the Archangel. Please add your intentions to the book so we can lift up your needs and be united in prayer. We read the intentions that have been put in the book the previous Sunday or during the week. This can be anonymous if you want. Let us prayerfully accompany you on your journey, in imitation of Our Patron, St. Raphael the Archangel.
