Reclaiming the Lord’s Day
As we give focus to “Reclaiming Sundays,” we start with the importance of participating in Sunday Mass. Jesus Christ died so that we may have eternal life; God asks us to worship Him every Sunday (and Holy Day of Obligation) so that we can become the saints that He wants us to be. As Dr. Naughton of Catholic Studies at the University of St. Thomas likes to state, “If we don’t get Sundays right, we won’t get Mondays right.”
November – Beauty and Prayer
“God looked at everything he had made and found it very good.” Genesis 1:31
On Sunday we are called to participate in appreciating the beauty that is all around us and participate in it. Beauty can evoke in us an appreciation for what God has created in our life and lead us to participate in that creation through the materials around us. We are called to find and assist in creating beauty through the ordinariness of family life.
As we continue our “Reclaiming Sundays” initiative for the year, we turn to the theme of “Beauty and Prayer.” Near the beginning of the month (November 2nd is All Souls Day), visit a gravesite(especially of a family member). If you are connected to the deceased, make the grave neat and bring flowers (if permitted by the cemetery). Pray for the repose of the soul of the deceased person. Pass on family stories about this person to your children.
During November, the theme for the “Reclaiming Sundays” initiative is “Beauty and Prayer.” To that end, identify a suitable location in your home andcreate a small sacred space (prayer table/family altar). Enlist contributions from everyone in your family to make it beautiful (flowers in a small vase, draw pictures for Jesus, etc.).
Upcoming Events
Small Groups are here at
St Gregory the Great
Archbishop Hebda’s pastoral letter, You Will Be My Witnesses, sets forth a beautiful path for our Archdiocese: a way for every parish to be, as Pope Francis says, a “community of communities.” St. Gregory the Great parish is taking the next step on this path in Lent by launching small groups designed to: foster personal relationships, build community, and provide formation so we all may grow as joyful missionary disciples of Christ. Each Small Group will focus on the topic of Prayer throughout Lent and move towards other topics after Lent such as Eucharist, Gospels, and Saints
Be a part of this mission: join a Small Group! It’s not too late (nor will it ever be – these groups are ongoing) to sign up for one, so please contact the parish office if you would like to do so. 651-674-4056 or info@stgregorynb.org.
Fr. Matt’s Christian Resource Recommendations
We live in an age like none other, especially with regards to communications. For the faith, we have more resources than ever before. I would like to share my favorite ones with you in the hope that you would also benefit from them. As I discover other resources, I will share them on the parish website.
