My confidence is placed in God who does not need our help for accomplishing his designs. Our single endeavor should be to give ourselves to the work and to be faithful to him, and not to spoil his work by our shortcomings. – Saint Isaac Jogues October 19 is the feast of Sts. Isaac Jogues, John de Breibeuf and their companions, missionaries and martyrs. As Jesuit missionaries to North America these men traveled through New Netherlands and New France (now New York and Ontario) as far west as Sault Ste. Marie. The 8 French men worked to bring the Gospel to the native peoples of the Huron, Algonquin, Oijbwe, Mohawk and Iroquois tribes. Many natives converted and were baptized until the missionaries were martyred in the 1640s.

Go on your way; behold, I am sending you like lambs among wolves.Carry no money bag, no sack, no sandals; and greet no one along the way. Into whatever house you enter, first say, ‘Peace to this household.’ If a peaceful person lives there, your peace will rest on him; but if not, it will return to you. Stay in the same house and eat and drink what is offered to you, for the laborer deserves payment. Do not move about from one house to another. Whatever town you enter and they welcome you, eat what is set before you, cure the sick in it and say to them,‘The Kingdom of God is at hand for you.’ Luke 10:3-9 #Bible #Gospel #GospelofLuke #Luke10 #DailyReading #KingdomofGod #CatholicMass #ExtraordinaryForm #LatinMass #Latin #Deacons #Vestments #liturgy #ChicagoChurch #church #Christian #Catholic #CatholicChurch #Chicago #WestTown #RiverWest #GooseIsland #Cantius #StJohnCantius
