 Sixteenth Sunday after Trinity, September 24th, 2023

In the Seventh Chapter of his Gospel, St. Matthew tells us that Our Lord and His Disciples went into the city of Nain and when He entered the city He saw something which obviously touched His Heart:  "Now when he came nigh to the gate of the city, behold, there was a dead man carried out, the only son of his mother"  St. Matthew confirms that Our Lord had compassion on the mother and because of this He raised the young man back to life.  It is Christ Who needs to breathe life into us.  It is Our Blessed Saviour Who needs to give us life.  It is God Who needs to heal us.  So many people in the world today try to find "life" in the things of the world.   The unfortunate thing is that seeking after the things of the world does not give you life.  People think that drugs and alcohol will cure their ills and yet their addiction becomes like a tight collar constantly strangling the life away from them.  People think that more and more riches and possessions will bring true happiness and yet the more we get the more we spend, and we end up on a never-ending merry-go-round always seeking more and more and more.  Never truly satisfied.  We need to turn our hearts over to God.  "Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light."  (Ephesians 5:14)  Focus on the love of God.  Focus on your relationship with God.   Set your sights on the things of Heaven instead of the things of the world.  Worldly things are short-lived but the love of God lasts an eternity.

 St. Margaret Church worships every Sunday morning at 10:30 AM at the Chapel at Marquette Manor, which is located at 8140 N. Township Line Road on the Northwest side of Indianapolis.

NOTE:  Keep in mind that we must enter in the main entrance of the lobby and sign in before we go to the chapel.  

Please Join us as we gather together as God's family to:  hear the Word of God; listen as God speaks to each one of us in our hearts; worship God in song and in word; listen to the King James Bible and the 1928 Book of Common Prayer; and, finally, receive Our Blessed Lord in Holy Communion so that we can be nourished for the journey we call life.  Take one hour out of your busy schedule to worship God, to honour God, to acknowledge the need for God in your life.
