Quotes by Pope Francis on the

Sanctity of Life

Prayer of Thanksgiving
O God, of Whose mercies there is no number, and of
Whose goodness the treasure is infinite; we render
thanks to Your most gracious majesty for the gifts
You have bestowed upon us, evermore beseeching
Your clemency, that as You grant the petitions of
them that ask You. You will never forsake them, but
will prepare them for the reward to come. Through
Christ our Lord.
Amen.

All too often, as we know from experience, people

do not choose life, they do not accept the Gospel of
Life but let themselves be led by ideologies and
ways of thinking that block life, that do not respect
life, because they are dictated by selfishness, selfinterest, profit, power and pleasure, and not by love,
by concern for the good of others.
As a result, the living God is replaced by fleeting
human idols which offer the intoxication of a flash
of freedom, but in the end bring new forms of slavery and death.
from homily at Mass for Evangelium Vitae Day

Care and Share 2013/ 2014

Prayer of Thanksgiving
O God, we thank you for this earth, our home;
For the wide sky and the blessed sun,
For the salt sea and the running water,
For the everlasting hills
And the never-resting winds,
For trees and the common grass underfoot.
We thank you for our senses
By which we hear the songs of birds,
And see the splendor of the summer fields,
And taste of the autumn fruits,
And rejoice in the feel of the snow,
And smell the breath of the spring.
Grant us a heart wide open to all this beauty;
And save our souls from being so blind
That we pass unseeing
When even the common thorn bush
Is aflame with your glory, O God our creator,
Who lives and reigns for ever and ever.

Stewardship Thoughts
November 16, 2014 - 33rd Sunday in Ordinary Time
"Well done, good and faithful servant; you have been
faithful over a little, I will set you over much..."- Matthew 25:21
God expects us to nurture and develop the gifts He has
given us and then generously give back with increase.
He doesn't want us to waste or hoard the gifts He has
given us; He expects us to grow our gifts, use them
wisely and be generous with them.
