IN DEFENSE OF MOTHER CHURCHPRAYER LISTMASS INTENTIONSTO LET GO

To let go does not mean to stop caring, it means I can’t do it for someone else.To let go is not to cut myself off, it’s the realization that I can’t control another.To let go is not to enable, but to allow learning from natural consequences.To let go is not to try to change or blame another, it’s to make the most of myself.To let go is not to care for, but to care about.To let go is not to fix, but to be supportive.To let go is not to judge, but to allow another to be a human being.To let go is not to be in the middle arranging all the outcomes, but to allow others to affect their own destinies.To let go is not to be protective, it’s to permit another to face reality.To let go is not to criticize, or regulate anyone, but to try to become what I dream I can do.To let go is to fear less, and to love more.

TRUNK R TREAT 2019

"Some people argue that changing laws will not

eliminate abortions. It is certainly true that a change of heart is more important than a change of law. What is forgotten, however, is that the law is the great teacher. Children grow up believing that if a practice is legal, it must be moral."Cardinal John O’Connor

31sT SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME - NOVEMBER 3, 2019 Can I risk sharing the goodness God has given me? Can I care for the needs of my brothers and sisters? Can I respond to God as a priest, deacon, brother or sister? If God is calling you, call or email Father Andrew Merrick at 225-336-8778, framerrick@gmail.com, or visit www.diobr.org/vocations.

PRAYERS FOR VOCATIONWe pray this week for the thousands of Parishes in the U.S. that do not have their own priest. May more young men respond to the Church’s need. We pray to the Lord.
