“A Graceful Coincidence”
The disciples of Christ are not all single. Some of them have their own respective families. Peter was married and he also took his mother-in-law under his care. James and John left behind their parents when they followed Jesus. Thus, one who follows the Lord should be able to let go of their family and friends, as if, they hate them, because being a disciple of Christ should be a full-time commitment. It entails loving more than oneself and everyone and everything that comes along with the self.
I remember on the day of my ordination, my elder brother was unable to attend because he had to report back to his work in his cruise ship. It was sad for both of us that he missed a lot of important events in my journey to the priesthood. Then, it took over a year to finally see him, and it was not in our own home. It just so happened that his ship had a cruise in the British Isles, and they docked in Dublin, Ireland, where I was for my first mission assignment as a priest. So, it took us miles away from home just to see each other again. Such was a graceful coincidence.
But you know, such graceful coincidence happened to me again here in our parish. Fr. Ronald Sagum was a classmate of mine in my religious order. We went in the seminary at the same time. He was even my first roommate. But, after six years in our order, he left because he found that the calling to the religious life is not for him. After I got ordained, I received a news that he continued his seminary formation here in the United States. For over ten years, we did not see each other. But, God is gracious to those who follow Him. The Lord knows the sacrifice of giving up their families and friends. It was only here in our parish where I was recently transferred to do the priestly ministry is where Fr. Ronald will go for the mission appeal for his diocese. The long wait is over to see this brother and friend of mine.
And so, it may be really hard to be a follower of the Lord because of the conditions that had been to be a disciple, but, he will reward those who made a great sacrifice and persevere to follow Him with a lot of graceful surprises or coincidences.
Note: If you are unable to donate for the Mission Cooperation Appeal, you may still do so by dropping your donation to the collection basket, and make a note that your donation is for this specific intention. If you are donating by check, it should be paid to St. Anne Parish, and in the note, you have to write down, the specific intention. Thank you very much.
Heavenly blessings to everyone.

St. Michael’s Lent
Prayer, discipline, and friendship are pillars of the spiritual life. It can be hard to know how to pursue them and to stay on track. Exodus 90 has helped over a hundred thousand men to experience greater freedom in Jesus Christ.
Men of the parish are invited to join them for St. Michael's Lent, a time of renewal practiced by St. Francis of Assisi. It starts on August 15th and lasts until the feast of the Archangels on September 29th.
It will be led by two Franciscan Friars of the Renewal, Fr. Innocent and Fr. Angelus, who will serve as spiritual guides.
Find out more at exodus90.com or please, see Steve Sanchez after mass on Sundays for more information.
