Mike Often times we may feel like Elijah and say, Enough Lord , when it comes to our discipleship. Yet our readings today show us that the Lord will continue to call us, challenge us, support us and nourish us to continue the mission of Christ. Jesus gives us His very self so that we may have eternal life, so that we may continue to be instruments of His love in our world today. Living without bitterness, fury, anger, shouting, reviling, and malice. Allowing kindness, compassion and forgiveness to be our way of life helps us to truly imitate the love of God for those we encounter each day. Peace, Fr. Mike Scripture Reflection 19th Sunday in Ordinary Time August 12, 2018 Get up and eat, else the journey will be too long for you!

3 (1 Kings 19:7) Jesus knows that our stewardship journey will be difficult; we are not designed to do it on our own. Fortunately, Jesus gave us the greatest gift of all the gift of the Eucharist; His own Body and Blood. When we join our sacrifices with the sacrifice of the Mass, we find the strength and courage to be His joyful disciples. Are you new to Immaculate Heart of Mary Parish?
