There are still spots available on Thursday from 1-5am and from 11am-noon for our prayer vigil. Let me know if you can sign up; it will be a great chance to boost your prayer life and our church's ministry. As you think about prayer, please continue to keep the Ipacs family in your prayers as they mourn the death of John Ipacs, Char's father in law. Calling hours are today from 3-7 at 570 Kings Highway and the service is tomorrow at 9:30 at St. Stanislaus.
Our reading today presents again God's call to justice through the Prophet Isaiah. Isaiah has hash words for powerful people who take advantage of the vulnerable. God has a special place in his heart for those in need, which we see most powerfully in Jesus' birth in a stable. God's love is overwhelming, and he always calls out to us to come home.
God bless,
Sam
Isaiah 10:1-4
Ah, you who make iniquitous decrees, who write oppressive statutes, 2to turn aside the needy from justice and to rob the poor of my people of their right, that widows may be your spoil, and that you may make the orphans your prey! 3What will you do on the day of punishment, in the calamity that will come from far away? To whom will you flee for help, and where will you leave your wealth, 4so as not to crouch among the prisoners or fall among the slain? For all this his anger has not turned away; his hand is stretched out still.
