National Day of Prayer. Today we are all invited to prayer as one nation for our country and for our world. God chose to create human beings and each day we choose how we will live. Imagine a world truly united under God. It starts with us. #sjnlancaster #faith #dailyhomily

St. Joseph the Worker. St. Jospeh supported his family. Through his intercession, may all who work & toil in any profession be dedicated to their job and to their family whom they support with their work. May all the work we do give glory to God. #sjnlancaster #faith #dailyhomily

“We proclaim to you the Good News that you should turn away from these idols to the living God.” Is there anything we are worshipping more than God? Money. Power. Prestige. Talents. Lust. All we have ultimately needs to lead us closer to God. #sjnlancaster #faith #dailyhomily

“Do not let your hearts be troubled.” Each day brings with it joys and trials. It is the nature of life. We can choose to ride out the tough moments alone or invite the Lord into our boat. Invite the Resurrected Jesus in and truly live His peace. #sjnlancaster #faith #dailyhomily

Mark’s Gospel is the shortest of the four. We often think we need to say many words when sharing the story of Jesus & why He is important in our lives. It is our actions which speak louder than words. How we treat one another makes a difference. #sjnlancaster #faith #dailyhomily

“The stone rejected by the builders has become the cornerstone” When the Resurrected Lord Jesus is the cornerstone of our lives we live differently. We are able to wake each day with joy in our hearts knowing He is our source of peace & strength. #sjnlancaster #faith #dailyhomily

“How shall I make a return to the Lord for all the good he has done for me?” All God asks of us is to take His hand and walk with Him each day. To focus on the positive in our lives, to reflect on what we do have and not on what we do not have. #sjnlancaster #faith #dailyhomily

Grandparents Day at our school today. Family is so important, especially in today’s society where so many families are broken in one way or another. We pray that we may not take for granted the value of a faith filled home life for our children. #sjnlancaster #faith #dailyhomily

“Do not work for food that perishes but for the food that endures for eternal life.” We need to stay aware at all times of Jesus’ presence in our life for we never know when we may find ourselves in a situation where we could turn away from Him. #sjnlancaster #faith #dailyhomily
