Wisdom From Our Pastor

My friends, you have all been given many gifts. Gifts to help you help each other and to lead useful lives. Do not bury them. God has endowed each of you in a special way…. To speak…. To listen…. To love…. To be a friend. You are all called to light, not darkness. Use your gifts well, do not hide them. Use the gifts that God has given you.

His gifts are meant to be given, not clutched. Then the Master’s Son will be very pleased, and say to you one day, “Well done, good and faithful servant. Enter the Kingdom prepared for you since the foundation of the world. ”Sometimes we take for granted the gift of speech, of touch, of caring. Speech…. Do you feel blessed or cursed?

Touch…. Violence, or a handshake? Do you care for everyone? These seemingly ordinary but wonderful gifts that we can use to bring peace or pain. Jesus is telling us in this parable that it is not how many talents we have, what matters is how we use them. We are not equal in talents, but we can be equal in effort. And the talents or gifts that God has given all of us, be they little or great, are not to be given to us just for ourselves. They are to be used in the service of others, and of the God who gave them to us. Then the Master’s Son will be very pleased.

Father Victor Ray

The Daily Prayer of Saint Teresa Dear Jesus, help me to spread your fragrance everywhere I go. Flood my soul with your spirit and love. Penetrate and possess my whole being so utterly that all my life may only be a radiance of You. Shine through me and be so in me that every soul I come in contact with may feel Your presence in my soul. Let them look up and see no longer me but only Jesus.

Stay with me and then I shall begin to shine as you shine, so to shine as to be a light to others. Amen.

All of us at Saint Teresa of Calcutta Catholic Community want to take a moment to extend a Very Warm Welcome to everyone who is visiting us for the first time this morning.

Whether you are just having a look, or are searching for a place to worship, we are delighted to have you here. Enjoy the rest of your worship time with us, and

May God Bless You! Cream Cards available in the Pew Pocket to follow along with the Mass.

An Act of Spiritual Communion My Jesus, I believe that You are present in the Most Holy Sacrament. I love You above all things, and I desire to receive You into my soul. Since I cannot at this moment receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace You as if You were already there and unite myself wholly to You. Never permit me to be separated from You. Amen
