A Message from Father Nathan

My dearest people who are close to my heart.

 

October – the month of the Rosary!

 

Of all the prayers, the Rosary is the most beautiful and the richest in grace; it is the one most pleasing to Mary, the Virgin Most Holy

“The Rosary is the glory of the Roman Church.  As an exercise of Christian piety, it takes its place among the faithful after the Mass and Sacraments”

— Pope John XXII

“The Rosary is the most excellent form of prayer and the most efficacious means of attaining eternal life. It is the remedy for all our evils, the root of all our blessings.  There is no more excellent way of praying”.

— Pope Leo XIII

“The Rosary elevated minds to the truths revealed by God and shows us Heaven opened.  The Virgin Mary Herself has insistently recommended this manner of praying.  All Graces are conceded to us by God through the hands of Mary”.

— Pope Pius XI

“Would you like me to tell you a secret?  It is simple and after all, is not secret; Pray, pray much.  Say the Rosary every day”.

— Pope John Paul II

“How beautiful is the family that recites the Rosary in the evening”.

— Pope John Paul II

We have a wonderful tradition at our parish that is right after the 8:00 a.m. Mass, we do pray the rosary.  You are all invited to join us in praying the rosary

Let us pray the rosary as a St. Gabriel community

With lots of love and ever at your service,

Fr. Sahayanthan Nathan

A Tribute to my Mother
She loved God, the Church, and her priests.
“The greatest gift God can give to a family is a priestly or religious vocation. A vocation born in a family is God’s blessing to that family, a joy to the parish, and a grace to the whole community.” The quote above is often attributed to St. John Bosco, and I have always felt it speaks the truth about my own family.

The Gift of Time and Prayer.
If the secular world cannot come to Christ in prayer, why don’t we bring them to Christ through our prayers? They are weary and burdened, and they, too, need to find rest in Christ Jesus. Prayer honors God. It acknowledges His presence and His greatness. It exalts His power, trusts in His providence, seeks His help, and, above all, makes us humble.

The Eucharist: The Center of Our Lives. My dearest people, closest to my heart,
As a second and third grader, I would sometimes go to church at 3:00 a.m. and sleep on the church steps until it was time to open the doors. That was simply part of my routine. I wanted to be an altar server…
