The Word of the Lord Endures Forever The word of God (hat was and is mocked, ignored, cursed, the word that is scorned by injustices, laid aside by apathetic people, contains all that man needs. It stirs up the rain, the storms, the mighty lights of heaven and the powerful sounds of the earth's groanings. It is the commanding word to the paralytic “arise and walk” as well as the gentle word “Go. your sins are forgiv- en you.” It is the consoling word, All you who labor and are burdened I will refresh you. It is through our studies, activities, and prayers that we are able to carry out this word in our lives. Through lis- tening to the words at the Breaking of the Bread we are better prepared to receive the Word that gives us the good life we are seeking. 5

Sister Mary Madeline Accolade “Faith is from hearing and hearing through the word of Christ. And how will they hear without a preacher. ” Rom. 10:14:17 For fifty dedicated years Right Reverend Monsignor Francis J. Sulli- van has fulfilled his divine mission of communicating Christ to the faithful. Christ in the word of scripture and Christ in the bread of Eu- charist. Countless parishioners have benefited by the life of Christ through the past twenty-five years of Monsignor’s service here at St. Mary’s. In him we see a life of sincere piety, humility, and love of his people. We join in respectful gratitude and joy to God for bestowing on Mon- signor the tremendous power in the calling of the priesthood. We thank you, Monsignor, for quickening the life of Christ in us through your communications of the Word to us. A double festival is ours in the celebration of the silver anniversary of Sister Mary Madeline’s profession as a Sister of Mercy. In Sister’s second year as principal at Saint Mary’s, we wish her every happiness and leave with the remembrance of her earnestness in teaching us how to know, love, and serve God. Dear Sister Mary Madeline, “May grace and peace be given you in abundance in the knowledge of our Lord.”
