INCLUSIVE CATHOLIC MINISTRIES

What is "Inclusive Catholic Ministries?"

We want to maintain the best of our Roman Catholic heritage and traditions.  We want to invite EVERYONE to participate in God's love and our ministries and we use inclusive language.   We want to offer what you the people of God want and need.

Dear Family and Friends,

I am writing this on November 1, the Feast of All Saints.  We have not only the saints who have gone before us for whom we are grateful, we also have YOU.  Thank YOU, dear saints, for your living examples of love and outreach to those in need.  Thank YOU, dear saints, for your support and participation in our ministries.  Without YOU we have no need to exist.

November is also the month we are called to bring to mind all that for which we are grateful.  We encourage everyone to take a few minutes to sit down and reflect and make a list of all for which we are grateful in our lives.  We are called daily to take time to be with our loving God.  Perhaps that time might be when we make our list.  Suggest to our family and friends that we all do the same, then on Thanksgiving Day share our list, or an item or two from our list, with those with whom we celebrate the day.  Perhaps God will suggest to our spirits that we take a few minutes to call someone we have not spoken with in a while and let that person know how grateful we are that God has blessed us with their friendship.  November is a busy month, but the fact that we are still alive and able to say, “Thanks”, is our challenge to help us take the time and take some action to show our gratitude.

Perhaps we have been alienated from a family member or friend.  One suggestion to help overcome this might be to make a list indicating what it is about the other person we are angry about or otherwise distressed.  If we want to mend the broken relationship ask the Spirit what we should do to reconcile.  A start may be to take that list and offer it to God and then thank God for the person.  Maybe even burn the list of perceived faults and let the smoke go up to God as a prayer of praise for freedom from the brokenness.  God will help mend the relationship.  Just remember that we only have control over changing ourselves.  We cannot make the other person change.  We may have to love that person just the way they are. After a period of time the person may see our softened heart and even make some changes.  Scripture tells us that “Perfect love casts out all fear.”  Having our love become perfect towards that person may be just what is needed to cast out that brokenness in the relationship.  God just wants us to love.  God can lead us to the best way to love another.  Let us pray for each other as we are able to release our broken relationships and thank God for making us loving and lovable creatures.

We cannot tell you enough how grateful we are you are in our lives and you are supportive of our ministries.  You are in our prayers of gratitude daily and in a special way this month.  Those of you who cannot participate actively in our ministries are appreciated for your prayer support.  Some days we know we could not go on without that prayer.
Love and peace,
Wanda
