Parish Mission Statement We, All Saints Parish, are drawn together by the power of

the Holy Spirit to be a living and convincing sign of God’s

unconditional love. We are gifted to build bonds among

ourselves and others in order to live the Gospel in word,

worship, community and service for the salvation of all

and the building of God’s kingdom.

This Gospel is a metaphor for our lives. We are in the boat, the storms of life are raging around us, and like the disciples, we may believe that Jesus is unconcerned, or “sleeping.” We hope that we will be as familiar with Jesus as his disciples. If we feel that Jesus is sleeping, are we comfortable enough to wake Jesus and present him with our needs? Jesus does not chide his disciples for waking him. Instead he chides them for their lack of faith, for their lack of perspective. When we bring our worries to God in prayer, we might just begin to learn to see things from God's perspective.

Prayer for Life

Father and maker of all, you adorn all creation with splendor and beauty, and fashion human lives in

your image and likeness.

Awaken in every heart reverence for the work of your hands, and renew among your people a

readiness to nurture and sustain your precious gift of life.

Grant this through Our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the

Holy Spirit, God Forever and ever. Amen.
