THIS MONTH'S CHALLENGE
SEPTEMBER 2023
“Where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.” (Gospel for Sept. 10, Mt 18:20)
Christ is present to us in many different ways: in his Word, in the Mass, in the community of believers at prayer, and in the poor, vulnerable and suffering among us. He is especially present in the Eucharist, his true body and blood, soul and divinity. Let us also be mindful of his presence in the person of his priest, who is an alter Christus (another Christ), as he offers the sacraments to the faithful. May we always be aware of Christ’s presence with us.
Challenge by Supreme Chaplain Archbishop William E. Lori:
This month, I challenge you to support your parish priest in some tangible way, even by simply writing a note to tell him that you appreciate his service and sacrifice. Second, I challenge you to support the Faith in Action Refund Support Vocations Program (RSVP).
Questions for Reflection:
Are you aware of and grateful for the sacrifices the priests in your life make to serve the Church? Do you seek to support priests in their vocations, whether through prayer or in other ways? How can you better incorporate praying for our priests into your prayer life?
