Twenty-Seven Sunday Year C

Theme: A Faith That Works Miracles.

The theme linking the readings of today together is faith. In the first reading God, through the prophet Habakkuk, urges the people of Israel not to give up because of difficult or situations that seem to shake their faith in God. In the gospel, Jesus is telling us faith is a very powerful force, capable of having unhoped effects. But mind you; faith is never something that gives a right to pretend reward from God. It is gift that helps us to understand life and fosters our happiness. We must be thankful to God for such a gift. At times we forget the gifts we received, it is then necessary to fan the flame, and become once again aware of our privileged condition and of the responsibility that such a condition entails. This is what Paul is recommending us in the second reading. And what about the two words describing the behavior of the master? According to me they are; free gift.

Thank you all, Thank you!!!

I would like to thank you all who helped in preparing for the visit of our Bishop, Alfred A Schlert, on Sunday August 3, 2025 at Our Lady of Lourdes church in Weatherly. Bishop expressed his sincere thanks for wonderful reception and all the presents given to him. Brothers and sisters, this was made possible by your willingness to share your time, talents, and resources as together we continue to build our family of All Saints Parish. Again, kudos to everyone.
