In today’s Gospel, we hear of the ten men afflicted with leprosy, & the one who glorifies God for being healed. It is a dramatic scene of gratitude. But in order for the miracle to happen in the first place, these men had to start walking in faith before their diseased conditions change one tiny bit. Good stewards of their faith realize that they cannot wait until their problems are over to start walking in faith. They praise God even in the darkest of nights, and in the worst of circumstances. Do we walk in faith, offering the Lord our gratitude even when we are in difficult circumstances

Do not be afraid of holiness. It will take away none of your energy, vitality or joy. On the contrary, you will become what the Father had in mind when he created you, & you will be faithful to your deepest self…Do not be afraid to set your sights higher, to allow yourself to be loved and liberated by God. Do not be afraid to let yourself to be guided by the Holy Spirit. Holiness does not make you less human, since it is an encounter between your weakness & the power of God’s grace.
Rejoice and Be Glad, Apostolic Exhortation

Heavenly Father, when your only begotten Son Jesus Christ rose from the dead, he commissioned his followers to “go and make disciples of all nations” and you remind us that through our Baptism we are made sharers in the mission of the Church. Empower us by the gifts of the Holy Spirit to be courageous and zealous in bearing witness to the Gospel, so that the mission entrusted to the Church, which is still very far from completion, may find new and efficacious expressions that bring life and light to the world. Help us make it possible for all peoples to experience the saving love and mercy of Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, One God, forever and ever. Amen

In this week’s readings we see the challenges before us in faithful service. As servants of the Gospel, we do not serve to see the fruits of the labor. Rather, we serve because our faith calls us to do so. As faithful stewards, our faith can help us to do wondrous things. What small things in your life can make a big difference?

On Monday, September 30, 2019, our Jewish neighbors will celebrate Rosh Hashanah, also referred to as the Day of Remembrance. Rosh Hashanah is about returning to God through repentance. The holiday is used to remind us that submission to God is the way to demonstrate a repentant attitude to the Lord.
