Word of Life – “It is not only a personal but a social concern which we must
all foster: a concern to make unconditional respect for human life the
foundation of a renewed society.” — Pope Saint John Paul II, The Gospel of
Life (Evangelium Vitae, no. 77) © 1995 Libreria Editrice Vaticana. Used with
permission.
Prayer for Priests – Most gracious Heavenly Father, we thank you for our faithful priest whose spiritual fatherhood and
example of fidelity, self-sacrifice, and devotion is so vital to the faith of your people. May our spiritual fathers be guided by
the example of St. John Vianney. Give them valiant faith in the face of confusion and conflict, hope in the time of trouble
and sorrow, and steadfast love for you, for their families, and for all your people throughout the world. May the light of your
Truth shine through their lives and their good works, assist all spiritual fathers, through you Grace they may steadily grow
in holiness and in knowledge and understanding of your truth. May they generously impart this knowledge to those who
rely on them, through Christ our Lord. Amen

“Brothers and sisters: I should like you to be free of anxieties.” - 1 Corinthians 7:32
How much anxiety do we bring upon ourselves by constantly worrying about not having enough or attaining more
things? God won’t necessarily give you everything you want, but He will provide everything you need. Try this – use the
word “pray” instead of the word “worry” in the future.
How close do you come to giving the Old Testament
guideline for tithing (10%)?

Palabra de Vida – "Es una exigencia no sólo personal sino también social, que todos debemos cultivar, poniendo el
respeto incondicional de la vida humana como fundamento de una sociedad renovada". — San Juan Pablo II, El Evangelio
de la vida, (Evangelium vitae, 77) © 1995 Libreria Editrice Vaticana. Con la debida licencia.
“Hermanos y hermanas: Yo preferiría que estuvieran libres de preocupaciones.” - 1 Corintios 7:32
¿Cuánta ansiedad nos provocamos al preocuparnos constantemente por lo que no tenemos o por obtener más
cosas? Dios no necesariamente le dará todo lo que quiere, pero si proveerá todo lo que usted necesita. Pruebe
esto: use la palabra "oración" en vez de la palabra "preocupación" en el futuro.
