Dear Parish Family,
As a prophet, Jeremiah brought division. Not because God sought to instigate such, but because people
choosing whether to listen to and follow God’s word necessarily divided the community. With a
message no one wanted to hear, Jeremiah knew that his fidelity to the Lord could possibly result in death and yet he did not shy away
from obeying God’s call.
On his way to Jerusalem, Jesus tells his disciples that he has come to establish not peace but division. He describes how his message will
divide communities and pit family members against family members. Relationships will suffer, and he himself will suffer death. As with
every previous prophet, those who heard Jesus’ message had the choice to heed or ignore it. That is what may divide us today.
Through baptism we enter Christ’s death and we are united to him in his suffering. Our lives as Christians are often marked with the
same kind of turmoil. Just as the cross is never too far from the empty tomb, so struggles and suffering are part of the human
experience. Yet as Christians we are challenged to keep our eyes firmly fixed on the Lord, never losing sight of his presence and his
offer of grace.
We are challenged to choose Christ’s message, uniting ourselves to and drawing strength from all those who walk the pathway of the
Christian life along with us.

A Gift for You Next Sunday St. Rita’s Knights of Columbus

conversations between couples about the
messages we hear at Mass. We will have
books in English and in Spanish.
On behalf of my granddaughter Cait l in
Flanagan and her family, I would like to thank

is comforting at this time to be among so many friends.
Thank you all.
