or adoption.
Anointing of the Sick:
Please call the Parish Office during serious illness or before surgery.
Shut-Ins:
If you know anyone who cannot come to Church, please let the office know, so

Assumption-Florian Parish Bulletin, October 20, 2024
For the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to
serve and to give his life as a ransom for many. (MARK 10:45) If you held
a mirror up to your life, would it reflect Gods love and mercy? If you are
struggling with this, try changing your attitude from I want more to thank
you God for everything you have given me, I have enough to share. This change
in perspective will bring you joy through service to others. Pray daily to
become less self-centered and to become more God-centered.

[Jesus said to them] You know that among the Gentiles those
whom they recognize as their rulers lord it over them,
and their great ones are tyrants over them. But it is not so among you; but
whoever wishes to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever
wishes to be first among you must be slave of all. For the Son of Man came not
to be served but to serve, and to give his life a ransom for many. (Mark
10:42B-45)
Ponder: Why do I need to control and manipulate
others?
Prayer: Lord, I am grateful for your gift
of humility. Give me a humble heart so that I may imitate your compassionate
ways with all people.
Practice: With a grateful heart I will think
about the needs of others before my own.

I came to bring fire to the earth, and how I wish it were
already kindled! I have a baptism with which to be baptized, and what stress I
am under until it is competed! (Luke 12:49-50)
Ponder: What is my passion in life?
Prayer: Lord, I am grateful for the gift of
your unconditional love. Kindle in me the fire of your love and help me to share
it with all people.

everything with deep love.

Do Something Beautiful for God The
Essential Teachings of Mother Teresa
October 18 Material riches and spiritual riches
can both choke you if you do not use them fairly. For not even God can put
anything in a heart that is already full. One day there springs up the desire
for money and for all that money can provide: superfluous luxury. Eating fine
meals, the finest clothes, luxury homes, expensive vacations. These things are
trifles. One desire leads to another, and then we begin to think that we need
these things. The result is uncontrollable dissatisfaction. Let us live simple
and remain as empty as possible so that God can fill us up.
October 19 Life is an adventure, dare it.
October 20 If we were truly humble, nothing
would change us-neither praise nor discouragement. If someone were to criticize
us, we would not feel discouraged. If someone would praise us, we also would
not feel proud.
October 21 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.
October 22 God allows failure, but He does not
want us to become discouraged. God doesn't require us to succeed, He only
requires that you try.
October 23 Do not think that love, in order to
be genuine, has to be extraordinary. What we need is to love without getting tired.
October 24 People remind me of what a magazine
once said about me. It described me as a 'living saint. If someone sees God in
me, I am happy. I see God in everyone, especially in those who suffer. And I
remind myself of what Francis of Assisi said, I am who I am in the eyes of
God, and nothing more.
