For the Christian, Advent is the time to pause, reflect, and savor. It is a time to see life as a sacrament of the moment and not just an investment in secular interests, pleasures, and personal obligations.
God’s lesson is found in Jesus’ vulnerability. It is only when we are vulnerable that we learn how to love. When Jesus breathed his last, God’s unconditional and tender love was realized. Jesus always had a soft spot for the weak, lost, vulnerable, and broken. God wants us to come to Him freely, not because we have witnessed some fantastic display of prowess.
Starting this month, a staff member of our St. Ann community will share a podcast, book, devotional, song, etc. something that helps them grow in their own personal catholic faith life. These "picks" will be shared with the St. Ann community in this Sunday morning message.
St. Ann Day of Service 2022 was a huge success yesterday. Thanks to everyone who served, you made an impact in our community. Beautiful start to November with giving back.
