Follow Me
Living as a disciple is a daunting task. In today’s
Gospel Jesus explains that keeping the Command-
ments is not enough to inherit eternal life. He states,
“ a disciple must give up what they must have to the
poor and follow Him.” The man who asks the ques-
tion walked away sad, even the disciples were sad
when they found out how difficult it was to get to
heaven. We cannot save ourselves, but with God, all
things are possible. God discerns the thoughts and
reflections of the heart, so the heart must be directed
towards love of him and others. We pray in Psalm
90, “fill us with your love, Oh Lord, and we will sing
for joy.” Our challenge this week is to let God’s
word penetrate our hearts and truly love God and
neighbor.�

Thank you for Your Continued Generosity to St. Louis de Montfort Parish.
MASKS WILL BE WORN now until November 1st because
of the Delta strain. With an increase of sickness and the
new strain, I believe it is best if we continue until at least
November 1st, wearing the mask. MASKS are still re-
quired to be worn by ALL who enter this church. This is so
EVERYONE IS SAFE AND THERE IS NO DISCRIMINATION.
We hold to the Gospel here, LOVE ONE ANOTHER. Hence,
we need to care for those who have not been vaccinated.
No holy water, missalettes or hymnals in pews along with
no music until then. You should take the missalette and
bulletins home with you. You should socialize outside of
church for the comfort of all. Communion will NOW be a
DOUBLE LINE to receive, starting from the rear pews so
that all may socially distance from leaving to returning to
your pew. There will be no Sign of Peace until we are able
to touch socially. This is so all are comfortable and are
able to come to mass and be out in 30 minutes. Please
try to come on time so we may begin on time. THANK
YOU TO ALL THE NEWCOMIMERS WHO HAVE RETURNED.

Sharing the Gospel: The man in today’s Gospel reading
thought he was pretty good. He had been careful to obey
most of God’s rules. But he forgot the most important
rule of all�love God with all your heart, mind, soul and
strength. When Jesus asked the man to give away all he
owned, the man went away sad. He loved money more
than he loved God. �
Prayer: Dear God, help me to love you more than all the
gifts you have given to me. Amen. �
Mission for the week: Make a list of things that are spe-
cial to you. If God asked you to give away your favorite
toy or game to someone who’s poor, could you do it? Be
honest with God, and ask him to help you love him more
than anything. �
