TICKETS SOLD AT THE GATE --------------------------------------------------------What are angels? An angel is a pure spirit created by God. The English word "angel" comes from the Greek angelos, which means 'messenger'. Although the word "angel" in the Bible, meaning a messenger, nearly always applies to heavenly beings, it can occasionally apply to human messengers. The Scriptures give us no indication of the precise time of the creation of angels; their existence is assumed at the earliest times. God bestowed upon angels great wisdom, freedom, and power, and their many appearances in the New Testament are indication of the lead role assigned to them. Angels are purely spiritual or bodiless Parish Collections 8/21-22 $2711.00 Thank you for your support. Mother Teresa 100th Birthday (August 26, 1910) “By blood, I am Albanian. By citizenship, an Indian. By faith, I am a Catholic nun,” Mother Teresa once said. “As to my calling, I belong to the world. As to my heart, I belong entirely to the Heart of Jesus.” Prayer to Blessed Teresa of Calcutta Blessed Teresa of Calcutta, you allowed the thirsting love of Jesus on the cross to become a living flame within you, and so became the light of his love to all. Obtain from the heart of Jesus(here make your request). Teach me to allow Jesus to penetrate and possess my whole being so completely that my life, too, may radiate His light and love to others. Amen. Immaculate Heart of Mary, Cause of Our Joy, pray for me. Blessed Teresa of Calcutta, Pray for me. --------------------------------------------------------Bishops Welcome Ruling Against Embryonic Stem Cell Funding, Urge Government to Pursue Ethical Stem Cell Research WASHINGTON—Cardinal Daniel DiNardo of Galveston-Houston, chairman of the Committee on Pro-Life Activities of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, welcomed the federal court injunction against the Obama administration’s funding of human embryonic stem cell research, calling the ruling a “victory for common sense and sound medical ethics.” He said this ruling also vindicates the bishops’ reading of the Dickey amendment, the amendment approved by Congress since 1996, which prevents federal funding of research in which human embryos are harmed or destroyed.
