    Dear Deacon Nguyen,

    Our Extraordinary Month of Mission comes to a close this week. Now it’s up to us to renew our commitment to living an Extraordinary Life of Mission! An important way to do that is the practice of charity.

    Pope Francis says we accepted our gift of faith freely and we share it freely, excluding no one. God wills that all people receive the gift of salvation by experiencing His Love through the practice of charity: caring for the most vulnerable, practicing kindness, and forgiving so that we may be forgiven.
    “The Lord hears the cry of the poor.”
    ~ Today’s responsorial psalm Psalm 34
    The prayer I go to as a reminder of my own call to mission is from St. Teresa of Ávila whose writings on the care of the soul are masterpieces:
    Christ has no body now but yours,
    no hands, no feet on earth but yours.
    Yours are the eyes with which he looks
    compassion on this world.
    Christ has no body now on earth but yours.
    Dinh, I hope the experiences you have had these past four weeks of extraordinary mission are just the beginning of a deeper, more profound faith. With charity guiding our hands and feet, I believe the best is yet to come.
    Father Raymond J. Finch, M.M. Sincerely yours in Christ,
    Father Raymond J. Finch, M.M.
    Prayer for 30th Sunday in Ordinary Time
    Take my hands, Lord, to do Your Will
    by helping those in need.
    Take my voice, Lord, to praise Your name
    even when things look bleak.

    Take my thoughts, Lord, to imagine
    the world as You would have it:
    where love, justice and peace
    heal all wounds and mend all
    broken hearts.

    Take my past and use it as you will.
    Take my present as a gift in progress.
    And take my future as a pledge
    to love, honor and serve You
    through those around me.

    Lord, I know where love is
    there You are. Through my acts of charity
    help others see, recognize, and believe
    in Your merciful love.

    Amen.
    ~ Father Joseph R. Veneroso, M.M.
