PILGRIM VOCATION ICON PROGRAM:
“The Call of the Disciples” Pilgrim Vocation Icon Program: Our Lord reminds us that “the harvest is truly plentiful but the laborers are few. Pray, therefore, the Lord of the harvest that he send laborers into his harvest.” (Matthew 9:37-38). As Christian faithful we all have a responsibility to foster future leaders of the Church-priests, deacons, nuns and monks-dedicated to serving God’s people. One way we can be involved in the nurturing of vocations is to pray. Next Sunday begins a special time of prayer for vocations for the Byzantine Catholic Church in the United States. Every parish has received an icon specially written for this program. Those who accept the icon agree to pray daily during that time for religious and priestly vocations. Every member of the parish is invited to have “The Call of the Disciples” icon in their home for a week of special prayer for vocations. Prayer booklets are provided. Please see the sign-up sheet in the vestibule. Please see Fr. Michael for further information.
SANCTUARY CANDLES:
Sanctuary candles will be lit for the entire week. For the week of September 28-Oct. 4, 2025, the left candle is in memory of +Michael & +Helen Tirpak and the right sanctuary candle is in memory of +Richard Alan Tirpak. Both candles are given by Robert & Helen Marie Vaclav.
The Secret of the Peace We Need
Those who are engaged in spiritual warfare must always keep their hearts tranquil. Only then can the mind sift the impulses it receives and store in the treasure house of the memory those that are good and come from God, while rejecting altogether those that are perverse and devilish. “When the sea is calm, the fishermen’s eyes can see the movements of the fish deep down, so that hardly any of them can escape. But when the sea is ruffled by the wind, the turmoil of the waves hides from sight the creatures that would easily have been seen if the sea wore the smile of calm. The skill of the fisherman is of little use in rough weather. Something of the same sort happens with the soul, especially when it is stirred to the depths by anger. At the beginning of a storm, oil is poured on the waters to calm them, and in fact the oil defeats their commotion. In this way, when the soul receives the anointing of the gift of the Holy Spirit, it gladly gives in to this inexpressible and untroubled sweetness. And even if it is continually attacked by temptation, it maintains its peace and joy.
