This year’s theme is “Reflecting God’s Light”. We are all called to respond to the needs of our brothers and sisters both here in our parish and in the diocese. The DSA provides funding for more than 50 ministries and programs in the Piedmont and Western North Carolina. We can do it through financial contributions which support the work of the Church. The target for St. Benedict’s is $31,234.

**** PREPARATION FOR THE HOLY MASS
Jesus teaches us today about the kingdom of God, our eternal hope. There, those who are now poor or hungry or grieving or maligned will be rewarded. Luke adds that Jesus warns the people who came to listen to Him that those who are rich and satisfied will suffer later. God’s values are not society’s values. Whose values do we imitate? Let us pray that we may align our values with those of God’s kingdom and live them out in bringing Jesus’ Good News to those in need.
