2024-10-31 8:30 am. Celebration of the Holy Mass for Thursday of the 30th Week in Ordinary Time.

Good morning and welcome to our celebration of the Holy Mass on this Thursday of the 30th Week in Ordinary Time. "It takes great courage to stand up and openly oppose a tyrant." Jesus knew that he would suffer the same fate as the prophets who came before him. He not only willingly exposed himself to such danger, but he prayed for his persecutors and for those who rejected the prophets who spoke in God's name. Do you pray for your enemies and for those who oppose the Gospel message today? The Responsorial Psalm is Psalm 144: "Blessed be the Lord, my rock!"
