From The Pastor's Notebook
How many times have we experienced coming to church on any given Sunday and hearing a message that was tailor-made for us? I remember many times in my early twenties going to Mass on Sunday and hearing a reading or a gospel or a reference in the homily that was meant for me. I would walk home from Mass thinking “that homily or reading was intended for me, wow!” What if I had chosen to stay home that day? What if I had used some lame excuse to avoid Mass? I would have missed a moment of encouragement or a connection with God that was intended for me, perhaps an answer to a need.
With that said, how many people miss critical moments with God because they are not aware of or have not experienced these healing moments with God? Perhaps it would not occur to them that a message awaits them at 99 East Tioga Street at 11:00AM on Sunday. With that said, why not invite someone to come with you and your family on any given Sunday. There might just be a message waiting for them, an answer to a personal dilemma or consolation badly needed.
Those you invite may come away ever so grateful for the opportunity, the connection, the moment their prayer has been heard – or even better, answered. So be brave. Invite a friend. Tell them to come with an open mind and an equally open heart. Who knows, maybe there’s a “you’ve got a message” waiting for them!
Faithfully,
Fr. Pat -
