Jerusalem’s
sake, I will not be quiet, until her vindication shines like the dawn and
her victory like a burning patch.” (Isaiah
62:1-5)
“Proclaim his marvelous deeds to
all the nations.” (Psalm
96)
At Cana, Mary, the Mother of Jesus, “notices”
a need. She speaks to her Son. One
word from his mother, and Jesus reveals his divinity so all people can see
just how present God is for all of us. Mary speaks. Jesus acts. They influence a happy occasion, to make people more
happy---not a healing! Not a conversion!
But to bring joy to a joyful gathering.
Haiti, just about as poor as any nation, has
long been in desperate need. The
earthquakes and the need now becomes
a catastrophe!
Many nations are now marshalling their resources to come to the aid
of
Haiti. May
we all pull together and not stop until the outpouring of loving help
reaches and sustains every individual. Every Mass celebrated at St. Christopher’s includes special
prayers for Haiti
and Haitians everywhere in the world. Join us at week-day Mass at
12:05 pm.
Our second collection this weekend is
for the relief efforts in Haiti, joined with every parish in the
Archdiocese of Boston. Is there anything else you or your family can do to
help in this effort?
Join
us in a “Holy Hour” of prayer for life this Thursday at 7:30
pm
here at St.Christopher.
