SUNDAY SERMON SERIES

Department of Religious Education (DRE)

Ecclesiastical New Year / September 1

This week, find insights from the Department of Religious Education (DRE) about the upcoming Gospel reading and the Ecclesiastical New Year.

Many people set New Year’s resolutions on January 1st. With the Ecclesiastical New Year, we can set a resolution to pray more––not with more words, but with more of our heart. We can set an intention to turn all the difficulties we face into prayer by putting “Lord” in front of every thought and feeling we have, so that He transforms it into peace beyond understanding and joy that cannot be taken from us. May God bless the coming year with spiritual fruit and help us orient our lives to eternity in every moment.
