4 October 23, 2016 The Roman Catholic Church of Saint Mark Page 4 Thought for the Week There are just two weeks left until we elect a new President of the United States. We are called by the Church to be informed voters. But even more important, we are called to ask for the guidance of the Holy Spirit as we cast our votes. Respect Life Prayer Lord, please open our eyes to see you in each and every brother and sister. Open our ears that we may hear the cries of those who suffer, and especially those we ignore. We need Your help to love those we don t feel like loving You alone can change our hearts. And finally, we beg you to open the eyes of anyone who does not see the sanctity of Your little ones in the womb. The Eucharist Thank you, Jesus, for giving Yourself to us every day. You give us Your food for the journey in this life You strengthen us in ways we don t even understand. You feed our souls and bodies every time we receive you in the Eucharist. Thank You! Words from Pope Francis Think about this: how do you help? From a distance, or with tenderness, with closeness? (ouch!) A Scripture to Ponder And be kind to one another, compassionate, forgiving one another as God has forgiven you.
