LIVE THE LITURGYFor the Week ofOct 25-31Inspiration for the week“To fall in love with God is the greatestromance; to seek Him the greatest adventure; tofind Him the greatest human achievement.” Thesewords of St. Augustine are timeless. Every humanbeing would certainly profit with wisdom if theyrealized Who calls them and to Whom theybelong. There is only one way to satisfy thedeepest longing of the human heart and that is inrelationship with our Creator. When we seek Godwith true sincerity of heart and God passes usalong our way, we will cry out, “Jesus, Son ofDavid, have pity on me!” We will instinctivelyknow that it is only our Divine Master who canrestore our sight and heal us. The blind man fell inlove with Jesus, embarked upon this life-savingadventure to reach him and achieve a goal manyhave only remotely thought possible. This ismercy in action. No matter how far we stray orhow blind we become God patiently waits toconsole us, guide us, and heal us. All we need todo is desire Him with all our heart.MONDAY, October 25Search . . . 6:00pm . . .
