Dear People of St. Patrick Parish,
Today is Respect Life Sunday in our Catholic Faith, when we renew our commitment to God, to respect all Human Life from the moment of conception until the moment of death. If we value Human Life, we cannot abort a fetus, we cannot approve of assisted suicide. God is the giver of life, and we need to respect our lives but of all other people as well.
God creates each human being and wants that person to love Him, obey Him and one day be with Him forever in Heaven.
God does not force us to love and obey Him, but He hopes and prays that we will cooperate with Him in bearing good fruits in our lives and always know He loves us and wants us to respect and love Him. He does not want us to kill other people, abuse other people, disrespect others.
This same God who creates humans also creates animals our dogs, cats, birds etc. to give happiness and joy and sometimes even protect us.
Today, we bless our pets and ask St. Francis of Assisi who loved animals, to bless our pets and keep them safe. Bring your pets today, Sunday, October 4th at 3:00pm and have them blessed.
Wednesday, October 7 is the Feast of the Holy Rosary when we pray the Rosary to the Blessed Mother, we pray and reflect upon the mysteries of Christ and our Salvation.
As the world conditions right now are so far away from what God wants, we should pray the Rosary this month and ask for world peace and respect of all human life.
God Bless ,
Fr. Larry Young
Your Pastor
