Some of us may have more responsibility than others and some may have less, but our reward is not based on the number of responsibilities. Our reward is based on the outcome we produced from the duty given to us. However, what little we may have in terms of skills or resources, we should not hide or be ashamed of it, as God recognizes our strength, talents and wisdom. He wants us to put them to good use. Let us remember that when we give our gifts and strength for our church - we do it because we are motivated by our faith. When we use our talents and ability by adopting a friendly environment - we do it to praise and thank God through his creation. When we use our wisdom to solve a conflict at home or at work - we do it because we are inspired by the living word of the Gospel. Yes, we rejoice with the strength, talents and wisdom that God has given us – and there’s nothing wrong with that. S o, if ever we feel that we are taking on more responsibilities than the next guy, we should not complain, but instead, we should rejoice. As the Gospel has said “For everyone who has… will be given more, and he will have an abundance.” Fr Joe ADORATION Our Lady Queen of Peace continues to have a one hour exposition of the Blessed Sacrament the first Friday of the month following the 9:00 AM Mass. Please come and spend a little time in prayer with Our Lord.

Perhaps you or one of your loved ones have considered becoming a Catholic but were not sure how to get started. Were you married outside the Church and would like to have your marriage blessed with the Sacrament of Marriage? Do you need help or information on obtaining an annulment?

Vocational discernment groups meet to assist young men who are discerning the possibility that God may be calling them to a life of priestly ministry. These groups are designed to explore a priestly vocation with other like-minded men through prayer and sharing vocation stories and experiences. The group meetings aren't meant to convince anyone that the priesthood is their vocation. They are designed to assist you in discovering if the priesthood is your true vocation and build your relationship with Christ along the way. If you are a faithful, single, Roman Catholic man, between the ages of 18 and 40, and are asking yourself whether God is calling you to be a priest, you are cordially invited to attend this month’s discernment meeting on November 23 rd, from 4:00 pm to 6:00 pm at Saint Charles Borromeo Parish, 2226 Riverton Road, Cinnaminson, New Jersey. Join Very Rev. Peter James Alindogan and Rev. Chris Picollo, as they share their experiences of the priesthood, followed by prayer and conclude with conversation and a meal. Please register with Diocese of Trenton Vocation Office at vocations@dioceseoftrenton.org or by calling (609) 406-7449. Join us at this exciting time as you discover and respond to His invitation!
