Anointing of the Sick Anyone who is ill, anticipating surgery or undergoing testing is encouraged to receive the Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick. Please call the parish office to set up an appointment. Please pray for: Br. John Corcoran, Ana Maria Tillit, Fr. James Murphy, Cathy Sedlik, Edith Hill, and John Cavalier, Jr. We pray that God, in his infinite mercy, welcomed Mary Rouch into the joy of eternal life.
CALLED TO SERVE The status of Gods beloved Son is not one he clings to. It is one he

shares. All of us are called to be sons and daughters of God. In Jesus, we can all claim Gods favor. The second reading makes this clear. Here we read of the baptism of Cornelius and his household. Peters speech recalls the anointing of Jesus by the Holy Spirit and the great power that swept through Israel and onto the doorstep of the Gentile Cornelius. As for his household, so for us. There is an end to our work on earth, to our baptismal vocation and the honorable work we do. But there is no end to the saving life given to us through baptism. There is no end to the life of the children of God; there is no end to Gods compassion, which we know in Christ Jesus. There is no end to our status as chosen and beloved people of God. Because of Jesus life, death, and resurrection, we are forever among those on whom Gods favor rests.
