Corpus Christi 10 Year Vision Podcast
Welcome to the Corpus Christi Podcast. This is the Podcast where I highlight how the 10 Year Vision of this Parish is being lived out and then hopefully you will begin to notice it yourself.
This 10 Year Vision was brought about because of a holy discontent I had – knowing things could be better in the Church.
I know and I hope and pray that you will come to know that WE MUST do something to bring about a different outcome from what is happening in so many sectors of the Church.
It is possible but only with a lot of prayer, sacrifice and a Vision that give people a picture of a desired future.
This podcast is also meant for anyone in church-land who desires to see growth in their church or personal life.
I want to highlight a number of things that happened this past week:
busy with visits from parishioners and constant requests of assistance on a whole array of matters that Winnie cannot attend to the primary matters for which she was hired.
Our new hire is Irene Goh in the role of Administrative Assistant. With the office team she will help to be the face of our 10 Year Vision. She will help us to push this Vision forward. Please support this hire with your daily prayers.
Care facility that God – through the intercession of Blessed Don Alvaro – has blessed us with. If we had waited just six more months to start this project it would not have been built. This is not my opinion but the Project Manager that we hired.
God wanted this facility built. Now we have the mortgage – approximately 6.5 million – to pay off. Amortization is 14 years.
This is the prayer I offer to Blessed Don Alvaro every morning (and I ask you to make it your own):
Blessed Álvaro del Portillo
Prayer
O God, merciful Father, you granted your bishop Blessed Álvaro, the grace of being, with our Lady’s help, an exemplary pastor in the service of the Church and a most faithful son and successor of Saint Josemaría, the Founder of Opus Dei. Grant that I also may respond faithfully to the demands of the Christian vocation, turning all the circumstances and events of my life into opportunities to love you and to serve the kingdom of Jesus Christ. Deign to grant the canonization of Blessed Álvaro, and through his intercession grant me the favour I request… (here make your petition). Amen.
Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be to the Father.
3rd) Finally – I was present at the Youth Junior Core Team dinner/evening this past Saturday. These Senior Youth have offered themselves to lead the Grade 7-10 youth of the parish.
I need to say this:
Do you know this is happening?
Do you give thanks and praise to God that this Youth Ministry is happening in our parish?
If you did not then now you do and it is so important that we give thanks to God and support our Youth with prayer and even with our sacrificial giving.
Well – that is it for this week. A lot is happening. We have a Vision and God is blessing it. This Vision is for you!
If you see the Vision working then email me and let me know so I can include what you’ve seen in the Podcast
United in Prayer
