PARISHIONER BERTHA BRESLIN CELEBRATES HER 90TH BIRTHDAY !!!!!!!!!!!...........

Bertha Breslin, a longtime, parishioner of OLOL, is celebrating her 90th Birthday this weekend both at Sunday Mass and in a Birthday Party in the Parish Hall, this afternoon.  Her family is gathering from around California, Nevada, Oregon, and North Dakota.  Thus a family reunion, to celebrate a very vivacious and healthy Bertha beginning of the tenth decade of her life.  Just last week, according to her daughter Bertha got her driver's license renewed and she aced the test !!!!!  With the number of family members children, grandchildren, great grandchildren, gathered in the church hall, Bertha Breslin's pro-actively proves the answer to the Gospel questions asked by Jesus in today's Gospel Proclamation at 22nd Sunday in Ordinary Time Mass.  To the answer to the question, What would it profit her to lay down her life for her family, friends, and fellow believers, but everything - happiness, fulfillment, and selflessness, can attain for a human being of fidelity to the theological virtues of Faith, Hope, Love.  I join with her family, friends, neighbors, and the parishioners of OLOL, in Sacramento / Del Paso Heights / Rio Linda / Elverta / Robla, in wishing Bertha Many Happy Returns on her 90th Birthday.  The oldest known living person in the world today, is a 115 year old woman, who knows but that Bertha will give her a run for longevity !!!!!!!!!!!...........Praise God From Whom All Blessings Flow,   Fr.  Troy
