Then we need an hour." St. Francis de Sales My life is so busy. I just can't seem to ind the time to pray and read the Bible as I should. Yes, our culture demands much of our time. How can we make time for God, who is the maker of time? God gave everyone, without any exception, 24 hours a day or 8,760 hours per year. How much time do we give back to God in thanksgiving for His many blessings? Can we tithe atleast a day of prayer a week, or give at least 2 hrs and 24minutes a week back to God? This month is the launch of Stewardship as a Way of life in our parish. The irst area we will focus on is PRAYER.On page 3 of this bulletin, you ll ind an example of the commitment prayer cards that will be in your pews next weekend.please spend some time relecting this week, as individuals and families, over these areas of prayer.
