Season of Creation (Sepember 1st –October 4th
Prayer “God our Father, Awaken within us a renewed appreciation for the wonder of creation. Help us, in these times to care for our world, so beautiful,
so immense and yet so fragile. Allow us some
quiet moment to surrender to the whisper of your
love in the gentle breeze and in the warmth of
the sun. may the essence of your presence,
shimmering through creation fill our entire being,
spirit, soul and body, through Christ our Lord.”

‘You cannot serve both God and money’. The old proverb tells us that the one who serves two masters has to lie to one. Our life is shaped by the end we desire. If the end we desire is to be with God we must make or preparations now. Our future is purchased by our present. In today already walks tomorrow. The Gospel today reminds us that serving God can never be a part time or spare time job. Our commitment to serve Him will manifest itself above all in our treatment of the poor. The ‘Poor’ are mentioned in one way or another in every ten lines of Scripture. They were especially close to the heart of Jesus. The recently deceased Jean Vanier said: ‘to live with Jesus is to live with the poor; to live with the poor is to live with Jesus’. It is wise to presume, that when we reach the end of the journey, the celestial turnstiles will be supervised by the ‘Poor’.
