This Week's Prayer

Heavenly Father, you reached out to those outcasts of society who no one cared for.  Help us to seek those in our lives who need our support and friendship.  Help us to keep our thoughts, words and actions focused on you.  Help us to care less about the laughter of the world and care more about the joy of the Lord.  Help us to pay attention to those teaching  us during rehearsal and to remember all that we have learned.
 
St. John Bosco…………….
Pray for us!
 
This Week's Fact about St. John Bosco
John had been having dreams that revealed God’s will for his life since the age of 9.  The young Bosco dreamed he was in a field with a crowd of children.  The children started cursing and misbehaving.  John jumped into the crowd and started fighting and shouting  to try to stop them. Suddenly, a man with a face filled with light appeared dressed in a white flowing mantle.  The man called John over and made him leader of the boys.  John was stunned at being put in charge of these unruly boys.  The man said ‘You will have to win these friends of yours not with blows, but with gentleness and kindness”.
