FROM THE PASTOR’S DESK:
This particular miracle story a sign of the openness of Jesus to healing all people. In this
healing miracle Jesus uses different techniques to cure the man, including placing spittle
on the man’s tongue. Such techniques are known to have been used by other healers in
ancient times, and it is remarkable that on occasion Jesus uses them too, perhaps to show
that all healing is the work of God. What is my attitude to people with disabilities? We
pray for those who exercise healing ministries.

DIOCESE EVENTS
Prayer for the Year of Consecrated Life 2015: O
God, throughout the ages you have called women
and men to pursue lives of perfect charity through
the evangelical counsels of poverty, chastity, and
obedience. During this Year of Consecrated Life, we
give you thanks for these courageous witnesses of
Faith and models of inspiration. Their pursuit of holy
lives teaches us to make a more perfect offering of
ourselves to you. Continue to enrich your Church by
calling forth sons and daughters who, having found
the pearl of great price, treasure the Kingdom of
Heaven above all things. Through our Lord Jesus
Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in
the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and
ever. Amen.
Oración para el Año

Oh Dios, a lo largo de los siglos se han llamado las
mujeres y los hombres a llevar una vida de perfección
de la caridad a través de los consejos evangélicos
de pobreza, castidad y obediencia. Durante este Año
de la Vida Consagrada, te damos gracias por estos
valientes testigos de la fe y modelos de inspiración.
Su búsqueda de una vida santa nos enseña a hacer
una oferta más perfecta de nosotros mismos a usted.
Continuar para enriquecer su Iglesia por convocarse
a hijos e hijas que, después de haber encontrado la
perla de gran precio, atesorar el reino de los cielos
por encima de todas las cosas. Por nuestro Señor
Jesucristo, tu Hijo, que vive y reina contigo en la
unidad del Espíritu Santo, un solo Dios, por los siglos
de los siglos. Amén.
