Assumption-Florian Parish Bulletin, October 6, 2024

So out of the ground the Lord God formed every beast of the field and every bird of the air, and brought

them to the man to see what he would call them; and whatever the man called every living creature, that

was its name.” (GENESIS 2:19)

The creation story reminds us of two important points. First, since the start, God has put the entire

world into our care. Second, stewardship has been around since the beginning of mankind, it isn’t

something recently invented by the Church. Just as past generations built our Church, it is now our

responsibility to continue to nurture and develop these gifts for future generations.

Mass Intention: For Tri Parish Community

Lector: Trent Youngren Rosary: Mark & Becky Weber

Eucharistic Minister: Veronica Knoll & Donalda Kuznia Altar Servers: Corbyn Bring, Bromley Holmstrom, & Kieryn Olson

People were bringing little children to him in order that he might touch them; and the disciples spoke sternly to them. But when Jesus saw this, he was indignant and said to them, “Let the little children come to me; do not stop them; for it is too such as these that the kingdom of God belongs.” (Mark 10:13-14)

Ponder: What does my inner little child need at the moment?

Prayer: Lord, I am grateful for childlike innocence. Help me to be more aware of and responsive to the needs of little children.

Practice: With a grateful heart I will research and support an advocacy program for children.

[Jesus said to them] “If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!” (Luke 11:13)

Ponder: Whom do I find it difficult to love unconditionally?

Prayer: Lord, I am grateful that you answer my cries for help. Show me how to answer the cries of those who need unconditional love.

Practice: With a grateful heart I will visit someone who is home bound.

Do Something Beautiful for God – The Essential Teachings of Mother Teresa

October 4 – Meditation is talking to Jesus. It is a deep intimate conversation with Jesus.

October 5 – From the cross Jesus cries out, “I thirst.” His thirst was for souls even as He hung there dying, alone, despised. Who will bring those souls to Him? Can you and I continue to stand by as mere spectators? Can we pass by and do nothing?

October 6 – Look at Mary Magdalene; she was so in love in Jesus. She went early in the morning to see Him…Are we like that at holy Mass? During Prayer? Do we have that eagerness and longing to be with him?

October 7 – When you look at the inner workings of electrical things, you often see small and big wires, new and old, cheap, and expensive, all lined up. Until the current passes through them there will be no light. That wire is you and me. The current is God. We have the power to let the current pass through us, use us, produce the light of the world. Or we can refuse to be used and allow darkness to spread.

October 8 – You and I are called to do very humble work. There are many people who can do big things, but there are very few people who will do the small things.

October 9 – Charity for the poor is like a living flame; the drier the fuel, the brighter it burns. In your service to the poor do not give only your hands but also your hearts. Charity to be fruitful must cost us. Give, give, give. Give until it hurts. To love, it is necessary to give: to give it is necessary to be free from selfishness.

October 10 – Bring love into your homes. If you truly love God, start loving your son or your daughter and your spouse. And the elderly, where are they? In nursing homes! Why are they not with you? And where is the retarded child? In an institution! Why is he not with you? That child is a gift from God.
