Pastor's Weekly Letter
My dear people of Loyal, Greenwood and Willard, as we celebrate 15th Sunday of ordinary time we are celebrating our diocesan 150th year in our denary. It’s a great time that our neighboring parishes come together and our loving Bishop celebrates mass for us. It’s a great occasion that each parishes share their participation, history of the parish and food with love.
This Sunday readings invite us to think about our individual call, strength and weakness, hope and our daily mission. In today’s gospel Jesus is asking his disciples to have – no food, no sack and no money on their journey. May the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ enlighten the eyes of our hearts, that we may know what is the hope that belongs to our call.
CHILDREN ARE CLOSEST TO GOD
The presence of children brings with it a greater awareness of the presence of God. This year we had around thirty kids for our VBS (Vacation Bible School). Let god bless the team of planners, teachers, volunteers and parents those who put their heart and soul to make this year VBS as successful one. I am sure that the kids enjoyed and learned about the Bible and gospel values.
Last week we had a meeting and discussion on the faith formation of calendar for our younger ones. There are some good and hot topics like ‘Human Trafficking’, “Drugs…What do I do if they are there?’, We have value, God Loves Us. The team has found out good resource persons to deal with each topic. I personally invite all parents to encourage our future hope of this nation to participate eagerly and to form them in faith of God.
Children are closest to God. How the altar will look like each Sunday if it is surrounded by children. How the church will look like if our churches are filled with kids and youngsters. I would say that it will be like we are already in heaven. I look forward about this moment. I don’t lose my hope until that day comes. My dear people I believe that you too have the same feeling and hope. So, kindly encourage and bring kids and youngsters for every Sunday mass.
I wish everyone a very happy and fruitful 150th anniversary of our diocese of La Crosse.
God bless you all
With Love
Fr. Leo Johnson
