That means he uses people, places, things and events to communicate to us. When he calls a man to be a priest he may speak through a half of dozen people to "call" the man. This weekend God is using us to single out young men and women to hear a vocation call to serve the church in a special way. We will fill out a card naming someone whom we think has a vocation. I too am part of God's mediation. I will write a letter to those nominated. We will send some vocation information and leave the door open for a response. This simple process has resulted in many vocations that I have personally witnessed. It really works if people work the process. Please nominate someone today. Please let God mediate his voice through us. Sincerely in Christ, Our ill parish members & rela ves: Bill McLellan Our deceased parish members & rela ves: Sara Rose Millon Mike W. Clark Paul Mar nez Veterans and deceased members of our Armed Forces who serve selflessly to protect our way of life.

Catholic Events Resources 31st Sunday in Ordinary Time Well, we ve celebrated the saints, and all this month we remember all the souls who have gone to God. In just a breath or two we ll be headlong into Advent-blessed Advent-and then glorious, trumpet-sounding Christmas. And so, before it all gets away, let s just breathe. We ve been immersed in Mark s gospel all these months. How has it changed us? Every three years we are in the grip of the most urgent of the gospels, written during a time of terrifying torture and death for those who followed the WAY. Surely if there is any Old Testament passage that captures the passion of Mark it s the one that Jesus quotes from Deuteronomy today. He begs us to love the Lord with our whole heart and soul and mind and strength. I love remembering the giants we celebrated all last month. Has anyone in history loved God with more heart than St. Francis of Assisi? Are there any martyrs who gave their soul and mind to Jesus more than St. Ignatius of Antioch? But it s St. Teresa of Avila who is in my heart today. It s so touching how much the young people of Avila love her. We call Thérèse of Lisieux the Little Flower, they ll tell you proudly. But ours is Teresa of the Big Flower. One day in the monastery she encountered a beautiful young boy. Who are you? he asked. I am Teresa of the Child Jesus. Who are you? His reply always brings tears to my eyes: I am the Child Jesus of Teresa. That s what it means to love Jesus with our whole strength. Insert your name there. One day Jesus will call you by your true name. How does loving Jesus make you stronger? Kathy McGovern 2018 www.thestoryandyou.com 6
