Posted on by admin_deb

From the Most Rev. Larry Silva, bishop of Honolulu:

“Today our thoughts and prayers are with all those affected by the devastating wildfires that have ravaged the island of Maui. … It is in times like these that our collective love, faith and compassion can make a tremendous difference.

Every donation, no matter the amount, will play a crucial role in helping to rebuild lives and restore hope.

Let us also remember the power of prayer. In our collective prayers, we ask for strength, resilience and healing for the fire victims and their families. …”

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

ST. VINCENT de PAUL

Feast Day:  September 27

Patron Saint of Charitable Societies

                                  Reflection:

The Church is for all God’s children,

rich and poor, peasants and scholars,

the sophisticated and the simple.

But obviously the greatest concern

of the Church must be for those who need the most help – those made helpless

by sickness, poverty, ignorance or cruelty. Vincent de Paul is a particularly appropriate

patron for all Christians today,

when hunger has become starvation,

and the high living of the rich stands

in more and more glaring contrast

to the physical and moral degradation

in which many of God’s children

are forced to live.
