Some people are more interested in the letter of the law (following exactly what it says) than the spirit of the law (what it actually means). The Pharisees tried to test Jesus by asking him if he agreed with the law of Moses regarding divorce. Jesus draws their attention to the true meaning of marriage. He reminds the Pharisees of the teaching from Genesis about the man and the woman becoming one flesh. Jesus is focusing on God's loving plan for marriage partners.
In the second part of today's Gospel, Jesus scolds his disciples for trying to keep the little children away from him. He hugs, holds, and blesses the children. Once again he teaches that all who follow him must trust in God and openly accept the Good News.
What are the most important qualities needed by both husband and wife? What are some of the obstacles to a good and lasting marriage?

Praise & Graze is BACK!
Praise and Graze events are held on Wednesday evenings for a series of 4-weeks. We gather at 6:00 PM in the parish hall for a short session of prayer and a hymn— “praise” followed by dinner— “graze” at 6:15 PM.
At 6:45 PM, participants are welcome to attend the faith formation session which, tis week is QHR's own Dr. David Smithson.
Meals are typically catered and guests can stay for as much (or as little) of the evening as they’d like. Children are welcome to attend, and childcare is provided during the “faith formation” portion of the evening. Please check the calendar for additional details on each evening’s specific schedule/event(s).
Registration is required for dinner. Donations can be made online or at the door. See the bulletin for details
Beginning in October, we offer an opportunity to come together in a small group to learn more about our faith. Sessions focus on the teachings and experience of the Church and prepare individuals to celebrate the Sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation, and Eucharist during the Easter season. You are welcome to participate in the RCIA process with your questions, insights, and faith. Please get in touch with Deacon Tom Rothermich at trothermich@gmail.com or visit the Church website qhrwea.church, then click on becoming Catholic/RCIA under the faith formation tab.
A bit of humor……
Have a great week!
