21st Sunday in Ordinary Time

Dear Epiphany Family,

Eucharistic Exposition/Adoration will be offered again, now on Wednesday afternoons from 3pm until Mass at 6pm at our St. Thomas campus, starting Wednesday, September 1st. This special opportunity to be with Christ in the Blessed Sacrament will be offered in the main body of the church. Please enter through the ramp door or elevator door. “Could you not spend one hour with me?”, Jesus asked the apostles in the garden of Gethsemane. Jesus remains with us always and invites us to simply be in His presence, allowing Him to grant us His peace, love, and life as we bask in the rays of His presence, Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity. If at all able please consider spending an hour with Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament each week or at least some time with Him on Wednesdays.

For us to be fruitful as disciples and as a parish family, prayer, our relationship with God, must be at the center of our lives. We can do all sorts of things, programs, and service, but if we do not begin with and continue with prayer they will not bear the fruit that God intends. It can be as if we only share ourselves versus being rooted in prayer we share what we have received from Him, we share Him! Please pray daily for me and our whole parish that we may respond to all that God calls us to. Please know of my prayers for you.

In Christ,
Father Eric
