Saint
Casimir Parish
November 15 - 16, 2014
|
As we enter the final
days of this Church Year,
the scriptures begin to turn
our attention to the end
times. Saint Paul warns us
that "the day of the Lord
will come like a thief in
the night." It is
interesting to note that the
season of "Ordinary Time"
began in January with John
the Baptist pointing to
Jesus and declaring him to
be the "Lamb of God." From
the moment John sounded that
announcement, the Lord Jesus
has been our guide and
leader, calling us into
greater discipleship.
Today he asks us not to
bury the treasures entrusted
to us at Baptism, but to
invest and multiply those
treasures of gifts and
talents to help further the
reign of God. Sometimes we
forget our role in building
up the Body of Christ and
furthering the reign of God.
A question to each of us to
consider – can we name just
one way that we have used a
natural gift or talent to
help in the furthering of
the Lord’s work here on
earth?
God Bless! Fr. Joe
Bacevice
