The program of songs and responses is attached.</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">This Sunday is also recognized as the "World Day of Migrants and Refugees." And, God knows, there are so many of them! There seems to be more negative reaction and a less welcoming stance in the world these days towards those who have to flee their own countries. The President of the United States, at the United Nations this past week, criticized the other countries of the world for having "open borders" and told them "your countries are going to hell." However, in today's Gospel story about the rich man and the poor man named Lazarus, it is the rich man who goes to Hades when he dies, while Lazarus "is carried away by the Angels to be with Abraham." It is not hard to understand what Jesus is trying to teach us by telling this story.</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">Both Sylvia and I are away this Sunday.
