forgiveness of their sin and the gift of
eternal life.

commitment to Jesus (Grist and Ills
kindom?

own father, whoisquite ill. The 9 a.m.
Mass was a special service for all
members of the Legion and those in

The gospel was about the story of
the Widow's Mite, when Jesus com-
pared the hypocrasy of the wealthy
with their ostentatious displays to the
true generosity. of the poor widow,
who gave all that she had. In other
• • •
words, Jesus doesn't want us to mere-
ly tithe from our surplus, but to give
till it hurts. If our prayers of
petition are to be effective, then our
lifestyles must correspond to that
which we seek.
Hypocrasy doesn't work - we can-
not live sinfully and pray for bless-
ings. We must be in harmony with
God and make our whole lives a
prayer.
At the 11 a.m. Mass, the choir sang
two special hymns, "Fill My Cup,
Lord" and "Amazing Grace." Con-
gratulations and welcome to Donald
Patterson who received his first Com-

Paul turned to the Gentiles and
grafted on those who believe, even
though the grafting on of wild bran-
ches is contrary to nature.
In this the Jews have hope, that if
wild branches will grow on the Living
olive tree, how much better it will be
when the natural branches will be
grafted in again. Paul warned the
Gentiles who were grafted into the
good olive three through Faith in
Christ, not to boast, for they also can
be cut off. 1 verses 20, 21)

closing prayer. The meeting will take
