Twenty-Fifth Sunday in Ordinary Time - God
chooses, from among the royal priesthood of the
faithful, a few to serve Him in a special way and
to serve their brothers and sisters. This life is the
ministry of a priest, sister, brother or deacon.
Would you be willing to proclaim the truth of God’s love and
presence in your life as a priest, religious or deacon? If so, call
Fr. Hansoo 416-968-0997.

COMMUNION REFLECTION God’s inspiration is at work in everyone. However, there
are people in whom divine inspiration seems to have no
effect; people who commit crimes cold-bloodedly, and
who never rejoice at the sight of the true and the
beautiful. Even though they may seem to prosper, their
punishment is assured even in this world. The anxieties
and fears that assail them make their prosperity a
bitterness to them. As for the just, even though their
passage through life is often dogged by misfortune, the
inward satisfaction of obeying divine inspiration gives
them great strength, and is sufficient reward for them.
It’s amazing how many people spend large
amounts of money for certain items and fail
to read the manual that comes with it. New car owners
will wait until it rains before learning how to operate the
windshield wipers or will risk an accident fumbling for
the headlight switch as the road ahead gradually darkens
with the setting sun. A few minutes of careful reading
would prevent many a scary incident on the road.
The road of life is also filled with many unexpected
twists and turns. God provides an instruction book based
on the past experiences of those who have already
traveled that road and reached their destination. The book
is called The Bible. It contains some interesting story
lines with a few very surprising endings. Try reading one
of the Gospels from beginning to end or discover how
patient God is with His Chosen People in the Old
Testament. Take your time with it. You’ll be surprised at
what you learn.
Parishioners please note the weekday mass schedule
change, moving from St. John’s to the chapel at R.F.Hall.

Life Chain 2012...
Sun. Sept. 30th, 2-3 pm in front of the

“Any country that accepts abortion is
not teaching its people to love but to use violence to get what
they want. This is why the greatest destroyer of love and peace is
abortion” Life Chain is a powerful and prayerful way to be a
witness to the Truth and to Life. It takes only an hour and all you
have to do is stand quietly on the sidewalk, holding a sign with a
simple prolife message. As you stand, you can pray quietly for
Mothers and children.
