14th Sunday in Ordinary Time

Let Us Pray For Those Seriously Ill

Vocation reflections

As Jesus taught in the synagogue his audience was amazed.  They said: “Where did he get all this?  What kind of wisdom is he endowed with?  How is it such miraculous deeds are accomplished by his hands?”  Jesus knew he was sent by his Father to do his will, as preacher, teacher, and healer.  Jesus is calling men and women today to continue to be his prophetic witness in the Church.  Could this be your call as a priest, deacon, or religious sister or brother?

If so, please contact the Vocations Office at 973-497-4365 or by e-mail at platebri@rcan.org or visit our website at www.rcan.org.

SCRIPTURE  REFLECTION
Stewardship is a way of life, a way of thanking God for all His blessings by returning a portion of the time, talent and treasure allotted to us.

HOLY HOUR FOR PRIESTS

Our Holy Hour will be suspended during the summer months of July and August. 

However, we invite you to spend this scheduled time with the Lord in a quiet spot at home for these intentions and for your personal requests.  It is an hour of prayer for the priests, DIVINE MERCY and religious men and women of the church.  Prayers are also said for an increase of vocations to the priesthood and religious life.  Pray for our priests and for all religious - help guide them through your prayers.
