October is respect life month and world mission month as well. As Catholics, the respect for life and the missionary spirit should not be seen as options that we can choose to follow, but rather essential to our identity as Catholics. It would be good for us to think about different activities we can participate in that reflection these two important values within our Catholic faith. Perhaps we can engage in an act of mercy this month in an intentional way. And find a way for us to contribute to help a family or a pro-life organization. We heard St James tell us in the Letter of James that we should be doers of God’s word, not just hearers of his word. That is certainly good advice to follow. Have a blessed week everyone. Father Lincoln.
This is a blog of homilies, reflections, and photos from a Roman Catholic priest serving in the Diocese of Jackson in the state of Mississippi. Currently, I am the pastor of Holy Savior in Clinton and Immaculate Conception in Raymond. I have served as Vicar General of the Diocese since July 2019. I also serve as Catholic chaplain in the federal prison in Yazoo City and the state prison in Pearl.
