The people who lived at the time of Jesus and for hundreds of years before had a simple view of what we call cosmology. Have you ever looked up at the blue sky on a perfectly cloudless day? The sky looks like an upside down cup, like a canopy covering the earth. That’s just about how those people saw things. The sky was like a ceiling and above the ceiling was water. It was known as the waters above whereas the seas were known as the waters below. Rain came when God opened the heaven’s floodgates to water the earth so the earth could be productive. They saw no connection between sun and moon. God made the sun to rule the day and the moon to rule the night and the stars were just there. Yet people had a great sense of reverence for God’s creation. For them the heavens proclaimed the glory of God, for them everything gave witness to the wonder of God and spoke to them of God.

In 2011, we will celebrate the 60th anniversary of St. Gabriel’s Parish. A parish pictorial directory would be a wonderful way to commemorate this milestone and the directory would be a valuable historical keepsake for future generations to enjoy and cherish. IPC Canada Photo Services Inc. provides this service to the Church at no cost. Each participating family (household) will receive a free copy of the directory and an opportunity to purchase additional studio-quality portraits at less than studio prices. There is no obligation to purchase. Tables will be set up after all the Masses today and next week in the Gathering Space to give you an opportunity to make an appointment to have your photo taken in early November.

Founded by St. Paul of the Cross, every Passionist takes a special vow to spend his or her energies in promoting remembrance of the sufferings of Jesus, the memory of the Cross, and reflection of the meaning of the Cross for the world.
