Sunday, October 4th is Respect Life Sunday.

From the Womb to the Tomb, and at all points in between, life is a gift from God and should be treated with respect and dignity; regardless of race, faith tradition, gender, or sexual orientation. This is how Jesus treated people and He calls us to do the same.

"Do nothing out of selfishness; rather, humbly regard others as more important than yourselves..." (Philippians 2:3)

Pride and ego are hard things to control. We see how others act or dress and think we are superior to them. We idolize our own self-image. But, if we truly believe that everything is a gift from God, we need to recognize all the people that God has put in our lives are gifts! We need to be grateful for how they enrich our lives. Pray every day for the all people in your life family, friend, or foe!

Word Search Puzzle for Children

(Luke 15:1-3; 11-32)

This week's puzzle is about a PARABLE or story called the PRODIGAL SON. The word Prodigal means "to spend a lot of money on things you don't need and also means you are very wasteful with what you have."

The complete story about what a man's son did is in the Bible in Luke's Gospel. Jesus told this PARABLE to teach the people of His day and us how to not be wasteful and to respect everyone and everything we have. However, the main lesson is that GOD loves us the same as the father in the story showed love for his son by forgiving him.

God will forgive us when we do something wrong if we tell Him we are sorry and we don't do it again. It will help you understand the words in the puzzle, if you read or have someone read the PARABLE to you BEFORE finding the words. Then you will know why the son ended up living in a PIGS' Pen and eating their leftovers! YUK!

O Mary, full of grace, Patroness of
this nation and Mother of the
Church, in this time of illness and
worldwide need we seek your
intercession for the human family
before your Son's throne of grace
and mercy. We askfor strength in
adversity, health in weakness, and comfort in sorrow. Help us.
O Blessed Mother, to be filled with confidence and trust in the
tender compassion of our God.
Let us not be afraid, like our own
Saint Marianne Cope, who
entrusted her life and ministry
among the outcasts of society
into the care of our Divine
Physician. Continue to watch over
all who care for them and give
wisdom to all who are seeking a
cure. We ask this through Christ, our Lord.
Amen.
