Oct. 16th – the 29th Sunday in Ordinary Time
Luke 18:1-8
The persistent widowFr. Patrick’s Holy Homework
This week, take 10 minutes to talk with Jesus
each day around this question:
“Are there any veils in my life
that need lifting today, Jesus?”
He is tender, loving and compassionate.The Harvest
He said to them, “The harvest is abundant, but the laborers are few;
so ask the master of the harvest to send out laborers for his harvest”. After Jesus said that He sent out 72 disciples to spread His good news.
Today it is Autumn here in Detroit. The trees are so colorful! The food crops need to be harvested. BUT, the Lord needs disciples all year round to bring His good news to their families, neighbors, friends, co-workers, and others they have just met.
SO, how about you? A possible disciple? A possible evangelist? Please give that some prayerful reflection and discernment!

It’s happening here at Corpus Christi!
The Eucharist is being exposed on the altar in church on the following schedule:
Tuesdays: 6:00pm – 8:30pm
[Note: that’s a usual time for our neighborhood Evangelization efforts so prayer support is appreciated!]
Thursdays: 9:15am – 12:15pm
[Note: Holy Hour for Priestly Vocations from 9:15am – 10:15am]
Saturdays: 1:00pm – 3:15pm

One of the greatest treasures of the Catholic faith is the Eucharist. Ever since the Last Supper, the Catholic Church has believed that the Eucharist is truly the Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus Christ. You are invited to come and spend time in adoration with Jesus at Corpus Christi as we begin to offer these new time slots for adoration. Ideally, we will have two people in the church before Jesus whenever adoration happens. On our parish website you will see two slots for each time. Please know that if the slot is filled there will still be plenty of room in church for you!
You can go directly to the adoration sign-up by clicking on the following button:Adoration Sign-Up Please Pray for …
