From Deacon Ron Reno:
God willing, Father and Anneliese will be here this weekend. Pray for traveling mercies while they travel which includes driving to Minnesota to visit family. It is always a blessing when Father comes to give us the acclamation of God through our liturgy and feed us with the body and blood of Christ, under the humble signs of bread and wine. We are called to be the Body of Christ because we do God’s bidding. The Eucharist is indeed the substantial sacred food He offers.
Nebraska has experienced snowstorms, tornadoes, a derecho and about a week ago, hurricane like winds that destroyed thousands of trees and brought Omaha down to its knees. We need to keep praying for all of our affected friends during a rash of adverse weather. We need to continue praying for the displaced families in California from wildfires and our friends in the Atlantic states. Maybe God is trying to get our attention.
Our Tenth Sunday after Trinity collect says it all.
LET thy merciful ears, O Lord, to be open to the prayers thy humble servants; and, that they may obtain their petitions, make them to ask such things as shall please thee; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Our homily and our Sung Morning Prayer with Communion of the Presactified Gifts are attached, God bless, Deacon
