Zoë* had been kicked out of the place she had been
staying when she found out she was pregnant. She came to
Catholic Charities just looking for a place to rest for a few
days, and was immediately helped to find transitional
housing with wrap-around supportive services that taught
her parenting skills, pre-natal tips, and ways to adjust to
life with a newborn. She even received a crib! Now Zoë is
the proud mom of a bubbly baby girl, has started a fulltime job, and has found a permanent place to call home.
Last year, Catholic Charities agencies around the country
provided supportive
pregnancy services to
nearly 125,000 expectant
moms and their families.

Blessing for Independence Day
There is a saying, "To those whom much is given, much is
expected." That saying is from “Uncommon Wisdom of
John F. Kennedy: A Portrait in His Own Words.” That saying
should sum up our thoughts as we celebrate the founding
of our country. As we look at our history, we may easily see
that much has been given to this country, and many have
sacrificed to make sure we have kept those gifts. However,
our faith informs us that a gift reaches its ultimate good
only when it is given away freely.
We have many gifts, and our country has a long tradition of
giving many gifts to other nations. Moreover, sometimes it
seems as if those gifts are not appreciated. Nevertheless,
we continue to give. Let us pray for this great country of
the United States of America:
God our Father, from whom all good gifts come,
we are thankful for rest and food.
Grant that, in all we do or say,
we keep your goodness always in our thankful hearts.
We entreat you to bless all those who work to keep us
safe,
and ask your blessings on all those who work
to share our blessings with others around the world.
We ask all this in the name of our brother and Savior,
Jesus.
Amen.

He took the child by the hand and said to her, "Talitha koum,"
which means, "Little girl, I say to you, arise!" The girl, a child of
twelve, arose immediately and walked around. At that they
were utterly astounded. - Mk 5:41-42
