Epiphany 3 homily and The Conversion of Saint Paul from Father Ponec’s archives

From Deacon Ron Reno:

It has been an incredibly busy time for this Deacon the last two weeks. I have been helping out the John Paul II Classical Academy recently. There is a shortage of teachers in Omaha and I try to help out when I get a chance. During Mass Jesus tells us it is better to give than to receive; it is a true blessing for me to go to other schools and show students how honor God in their artwork. Doing God’s work on this earth is what we all are called to do.

Lord Jesus Christ, give us the strength to live our lives as you command, that the work of our day-to-day existence shall not overshadow our life with you. Let us, truly trusting in thy defense, have the courage to give our lives completely over to your charge, that we may find life eternal through your word. In Jesus Christ’s name we pray. Amen.

ALMIGHTY and everlasting God, mercifully look upon our infirmities, and in all our dangers and necessities stretch forth thy right hand to help and defend us; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Collect for Epiphany 3. Blessings, Deacon
