The Miracle Man.

Its funny how at times we never know what God is doing in our lives. Why funny? Well because it is like a great game of hide and seek. God hides and we are supposed to seek him in the situation. This sort of unplanned for exploration often leads into some great adventure, or some great deterrance to our joy.

I am struck by the Movie "St. John Bosco: Mission to Love" which was a movie we recently watched here at St. Jude for the St. Jude Night at the Movies. If you are familiar with St. John Bosco he dealt with some pretty unjust treatment, and yet continued to find the joy of serving his family - which he understood was really Christ's family. St. John Bosco took in thousands of young boys who no one else would take in, and offered the world a teaching philosophy that still has value even today, regardless of the work situations have changed.

Our next St. Jude Night at the Movies will take place on Mar. 15th at 5:00pm. We usually provide a Subway sub and chips and drinks for merely $3. Our last movie night brought in about 30 people. I hope to continue to build this for last last three months that I am here at the parish. I think it is great way for us to consider the lives of the Saints and to contemplate the love of God even within our own lives. The title of our next movie is "Padre Pio: Miracle Man."


For all those who read this blog in Denver, please consider yourself invited to come join with us! Tickets will go on sale on Mar. 1st at the front desk at the parish here, or they will be available the night of the movie. However, if we know numbers before hand then we can plan our food a little better, so that we don't run out. Email me or add a comment to this post, if you have any questions.
