Events & Resources

  1. Sunday Bulletin shorts, free to use  
    Given the same task by their father, one son asserts his disobedience in words, but then obeys in his actions; the second son obeys with his words, but disobeys in his actions. The question that Jesus poses is pointed and direct: Which son did what the father wanted? All would agree that “actions speak louder than words” and that even if his words were disobedient, the son who did the work as ordered did the father’s will.
    • Do our words indicate our obedience to God?
    • If not our words, do our actions? God desires a full conversion of heart, that our actions (and our words as well) will give evidence of our love for God.

Resources for Mental Health
“Physically healthy should also include a focus on our mental and spiritual well-being.” says Sr. Donna Marie Perry, psychotherapist and social worker in the Diocese of Calgary. “Not all families are healthy,” says Sr. Perry. She urges people who see others struggling to reach out with kindness. Where appropriate, you can also recommend they access support from community-based organizations. (Mental health matters, Faithfully).
