November 4, 2023 - 8 am - 4:00 pm

Come engage in your life as catechists, parish catechetical leaders, volunteers, and Catholic people in the Archdiocese of San Francisco as we celebrate our Eucharistic Revival with the theme “Talitha Koum” – Mark 5:41.

We are challenged in these times to arise and bring Christ’s light to our darkness, words of comfort to sorrowing, peace in places of violence and to witness our baptismal call.

As Jesus asks that bread be given to the little girl may we find nourishment in the Eucharist to go out and be better disciples of Jesus – bread broken and shared.

This Sunday’s gospel focuses on the difference between words and actions. Jesus teaches us that promising to do something is meaningless when it is not backed by action. Your challenge this week is to reflect on a time when you resolved to do more to help the poor and vulnerable, but then got busy with everyday life and never got around to serving. Or think of a time when you were specifically asked to do something to help others, but said no. Then choose one action you thought of doing or previously turned down and just do it! You may find it so uplifting that you make a commitment to do it on a weekly or even monthly basis. The important thing is to act.

Most of us are conscious of our use of paper and try to recycle it. What about other paper products, though, like paper towels and tissues? How can you reduce your use of those? Swap out paper towels with dishcloths or rags this week, and consider switching to handkerchiefs instead of using tissues to blow your nose.

The Laudato Si’ Action Platform, a campaign to build on the encyclical’s message through concrete actions, is currently underway globally to implement Pope Francis’ encyclical. You can participate in the Archdiocese of San Francisco by signing up here.
