God makes his presence known to us through people, nature and the ordinary day to day experiences. Where do you find God?
Find God in all things! Today is the feast of St Stanislas Kostka SJ.
I find a heaven in the midst of saucepans and brooms.

Happy Feast Day -St. Frances Xavier Cabrini!
Saint Frances Xavier Cabrini was a
missionary from Italy. She was born on July
15, 1850 into a big family—the youngest of
thirteen children. She spent most of her life
caring for young children in orphanages,
schools, and hospitals. She went to the pope
asking for permission to travel to China with
her other religious sisters, but he sent her to
the United States instead. In America she
founded orphanages, schools, hospitals, and
organized catechism classes in areas where
there were large populations of Italian
immigrants. She died at the age of 67 and in
her lifetime she founded 67 institutions to
serve the sick and poor. She became the first
United States citizen to become a saint.

Saints in the making!
Have you felt that your relationship with church—or with God—has become more transactional recently? Or do you feel burnt out and tired whenever you hear about another opportunity to serve?
Whatever your giving might look like, God is fully pleased with whatever you humbly offer in worship of Him. By giving, we gain. And by serving, we start to experience the community, contentment, and satisfaction God intended.
Keep learning about the gift of service we are blessed to be a part of with this free short devotional reading from the Discovery Series!

Looking forward to this glad reunion!
The more one does what is good, the freer one becomes. There is no true freedom except in the service of what is good and just.

Nov. 3 is the feast day of St. Martin de Porres. He was born in Lima, Peru, the illegitimate son of a Spanish knight, John de Porres, and a freed Panamanian slave named Anna. In 1594, Martin became a Dominican lay brother in Lima and served in various menial offices. Outside of the monastery he became known for his care of the poor and the sick. Martin founded an orphanage and ministered to African slaves brought to Lima. He was aided by St. Rose of Lima, who respected his penances and labors. Martin experienced many mystical gifts, including bilocation and aerial flights. When he was dying in Rosary Convent on November 3, the viceroy, the count of Chichon, knelt by his bed, seeking Martin’s blessing. Martin, who is the patron of interracial justice, was canonized by Blessed Pope John XXIII (r. 1958-1963) in 1962.
