Citing of the Week
"When a community is declining, does it always make sense to expend energy in order to prolong it just a few years more?"

FEAST OF OUR LADY OF LOURDES; WORLD DAY OF THE SICK
God is bigger than our needs
In an hour of crisis it may be impossible to imagine that help will arrive in time, or that your great need might be met with sufficient comfort to make a difference. Yet Jesus once faced a hungry multitude and fed them with next to nothing—and no one went away in want. Today the church remembers those who are sick: all who carry the cross of chronic problems like diabetes, AIDS, or mental illness as well as those struck with a diagnosis of an illness like cancer, heart disease, or stroke. We and our loved ones are not forgotten. Jesus comes to fulfill every need. And his mother Mary’s arms are wide enough for all of us.

“They ate and were satisfied.”
