Reilly Twenty-ninth Sunday in Ordinary Time October 22, 2017 We give thanks to God always for all of you, remembering you in our prayers, unceasingly calling to mind your work of faith and labor of love, and enduring hope in our Lord Jesus Christ before our God and Father, knowing brothers and sisters loved by God how you were chosen. For our gospel did not come to you in word alone, but also in power and in the Holy Spirit and with much conviction. Paul with his companions wrote this letter to give praise to God and encouragement to the disciples at Thessalonica. As I reread this inspired message, I can put a name and face of people of our time to whom a similar writing could be addressed. I consider persons of great faith who have walked among us, as St. Teresa of Calcutta. I hear the words calling for justice spoken by the martyred Oscar Romero in his labor of love. I reflect on the word of hope generated by the exhortation of Pope Francis in the Joy of the Gospel. Their example reminds me that I too have been chosen. More than just the written word, these models remind me that I have been chosen and the power of the gospel and Spirit lives within me. The fruit of the reflection calls me to live the same message with deeper conviction for I am the Lord, there is no other. SEPARATED AND DIVORCED SUPPORT GROUP A Separated and Divorced Support Group meets 7-8:30 pm at Mt. Alvernia, 158 Delavergne Ave, Wappingers Falls.
