    8.25.2019 is the 21st Sunday in Ordinary Time - Cycle C http://www.usccb.org/bible/readings/082519.cfm St. John Paul II Catholic Parish · 4:23 "Brothers, I want to send all of you away comforted today. So if you ask me my sentiment on the number of those who are saved, here it is: Whether there are many or few that are saved, I say that whoever wants to be saved, will be saved; and that no one can be damned if he does not want to be. And if it is true that few are saved, it is because there are few who live well. As for the rest, compare these two opinions: the first one states that the greater number of Catholics are condemned; the second one, on the contrary, pretends that the greater number of Catholics are saved. Imagine an Angel sent by God to confirm the first opinion, coming to tell you that not only are most Catholics damned, but that of all this assembly present here, one alone will be saved. If you obey the Commandments of God, if you detest the corruption of this world, if you embrace the Cross of Jesus Christ in a spirit of penance, you will be that one alone who is saved. Now imagine the same Angel returning to you and confirming the second opinion. He tells you that not only are the greater portion of Catholics saved, but that out of all this gathering, one alone will be damned and all the others saved. If after that, you continue your usuries, your vengeances, your criminal deeds, your impurities, then you will be that one alone who is damned." -St. Leonard of Port Maurice St. John Paul II Catholic Parish · 5:01 "We treat salvation like it's relative." St. John Paul II Catholic Parish · 7:02 "Hope is the gift, the virtue, that allows us to believe that Jesus wants us to be with Him now and forever." St. John Paul II Catholic Parish · 7:47 "God challenges us all the time not to take Him for granted." St. John Paul II Catholic Parish · 8:45 "Virtue is growing in the tendency to always choose the good." St. John Paul II Catholic Parish · 11:09 "If you struggle with the fact that God wants you with Him now and forever, you need to look at the Cross; that's His love for you." St. John Paul II Catholic Parish · 13:43"When you were baptized, you were adopted by God." St. John Paul II Catholic Parish · 14:32 "Do not look at the lives of Saints and think 'that was easy'"

St. John Paul II Catholic Parish · 6:05 "We think 'how can I be a good Samaritan?' But that's jumping ahead. WE are the one's dying in the gutter. Jesus Christ is the Good Samaritan. And He takes on our flesh." St. John Paul II Catholic Parish · 7:35 "We'd like to think that this world is under our control. But the truth is God loves us so passionately that he cares about what you do in every moment of every day. And He loves us enough to allow our actions to have meaning." St. John Paul II Catholic Parish · 7:57 "The four last things: death, judgement, heaven and hell." St. John Paul II Catholic Parish · 8:29 "When we come before Jesus in the Eucharist, we are standing before our Just Judge." St. John Paul II Catholic Parish · 11:10 "The Christological meaning of love of neighbour will shine forth at the second coming of Christ. Indeed at that very moment, it will be seen that the measure by which to judge adherence to Christ is precisely the daily demonstration of love for our neediest brothers and sisters: "I was hungry and you gave me food ..." (cf. Mt 25: 31-46)." -St. John Paul II https://w2.vatican.va/.../docu.../hf_jp-ii_aud_20101999.html

She was the first Disciple of Jesus as well as the first Tabernacle of Jesus. And she reminds us "Do whatever He tells you." St. John Paul II Catholic Parish · 8:41 "As Christ was pouring himself out for our sake on the cross, he turns to His mother Mary and says "Woman, behold your son. (referring to John)" St. John Paul II Catholic Parish · 9:08 "[Jesus] points out his own mother and says, "behold your mother." St. John Paul II Catholic Parish · 11:06 "No Mary; no Jesus." -St. Mother Teresa St. John Paul II Catholic Parish · 14:41 "Totus Tuus - Totally Yours [Mary]." -St. John Paul II St. John Paul II Catholic Parish · 15:33 "She invites us to love her Son as she loves Him. Completely, with no holding back." St. John Paul II Catholic Parish · 16:58 Prayer: The Memorare (Dates back to the 2nd Century) Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thine intercession was left unaided. Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins, my mother; to thee do I come, before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer me. Amen. St. John Paul II Catholic Parish · 17:23 Fast: Fast from excuses. St. John Paul II Catholic Parish · 19:49 Almsgiving: It would be awesome if one family said "we will pay for it all." It would be the more awesome if every family stood up and said "we're going to do what we can."

Here the Good Shepherd, through the presence and voice of the priest, approaches each man and woman, entering into a personal dialogue which involves listening, counsel, comfort and forgiveness. The love of God is such that it can focus upon each individual without overlooking the rest. All who receive sacramental absolution ought to be able to feel the warmth of this personal attention. They should experience the intensity of the fatherly embrace offered to the prodigal son: “His father ... embraced him and kissed him” (Lk 15:20)." -St. John Paul II
