A Message from Father Nathan
My dearest people who are close to my heart!
Psalm 50:15 so beautifully says the following
“Call upon Me in the day of trouble, I will deliver you”.
There are times in my life I used to think of myself as so small and so little especially when I see beautiful nature like an ocean, sky and mountains, litle flowers…all of this nature puzzles me.
How they are created, how they sound, and how they showcase…everything used to bamboozle and puzzle me.
I used to think of myself as so small before these other creations of God.
Even in the same way, when I witnessed a wonderful human being. I admire the creation of God. Likewise, in life we find ourselves so feeling small, little in a given circumstance and situation. In a way, this should help us to humble ourselves and able to know limitedness of ourselves. This would and should lead us to God who is the ultimate.
Having said this, we have no clue and how and where and why this coronavirus entered the globe and panicking the world. We pray that throught our medical professionals and advancements, some remedy would be out soon to safeguard the human race.
Everyone is panicked because of the pandemics virus. It pains me o witness the world shattered due to this virus. It’s really bad.
As we are in the season of Lent, I am forced to look at his way. We are in a way, all the time concerned and worried about very many things of the world, which may not be really bad at all.
Now in this given situation, personally, my take is, it’s a time to bestow to us that we can focus on His passion, His suffering and death of Christ for our life.
Lots of phone calls and emails with regard to these issues.
Let us all pray that God will deliver His people by His gracious love and protection. My humble prayers for you all.
Please be assured of my prayers.
With lots of love and blessing.
Ever at your service.

At the Easter Vigil, the Exsultet is sung as Mass begins in darkness, illumined only by candles throughout the church. The Exsultet is a beautiful hymn of rejoicing in Christ’s triumph of sin and death.

Holy Week is also called “Passion Week” begins on Palm Sunday and continues to Easter Sunday. Holy Week provided an opportunity for all the faithful to reflect on their personal sinfulness and their need for Christ and His sacrifice on our behalf.

What is Holy Mass?
What we do and why do we do this?
Vatican II, bulletin 1324 said the following: – The Eucharist is “the source and summit of the Christian life.” 136 ‘the other sacraments and indeed all ecclesiastical ministries and works of the apostolate, are bound up with the Eucharist and are oriented towards it.

What is the Sacrament of Confession? Why do we need confession? What are the benefits of going to confession? The Sacrament of Confession is one of the most unique and beautiful aspects of Catholicism. Jesus Christ, in His abundant love and mercy, established the Sacrament of Confession so that we as sinners can obtain forgiveness for our sins and reconcile with God, our neighbors, and the Church.

The Mysteries of our Faith. As the Lenten Season has started please make all the efforts possible to participate in the liturgy and other pious activities of the church. These are the ways and means we are able to understand the mystery of Christ…

I was a Eucharistic minister for many years at St. Elizabeth of Hungary. I have been at St. Gabriel’s for a number of years but have not been a part of the ministry as I have been busy. At St. Elizabeth’s I visited North Broward hospital taking communion once a week. I also visited the sick. Often I visited the sickest of the sick. Carrying the Eucharist to patients often terminally ill. I don’t know if there is a need but with the current crisis people are scared. If there is a need for ministers outside of the mass I am available on weekends. I am A middle school teacher in palm beach county. I have references Father Gabriel Vogues in South Beach will vouch for me.
Thank you so much for your offer. Contact Father Nathan directly at 954.943.3684, to discuss.
God Bless you for your willingness to serve.
