We are now in the Fall and see the beauty of the season all around us.  On several Sundays our worship has been outside, held in our very large parking lot, chairs appropriately  spaced.  On Sunday October 3rd, we will celebrate God's creation of all the creatures, the animals in our world.  We choose to do it on this Sunday because it is the closest Sunday to October 4, the day we remember St. Frances the man who loved animals. 
For our worship, we note that Pentecost Sunday was May 23rd.  Since then we have been in what we call "the season of Pentecost."  This is the season  when we, like Jesus Apostles, are given the command to go into all the world to share the message of Jesus' Gospel of love with everyone.  We are to do this by both word and example, and Jesus has promised to be with us always.  We will be empowered with the Holy Spirit, empowered with special gifts according to how God has entrusted them to us.  Each one of us is given gifts of the Holy Spirit.  You can read  more about them in St Paul's letter to the Romans, chapter 12, and in his first letter to the Corinthians, also chapter 12.  
If you are feeling you need to talk about this or another spiritual concern, do contact me and we can talk about it.  I also offer an adult Inquirer's group which is for adults to ask questions, to listen to others, and to share their own understandings.  You will be very welcome.
God bless you
