Jesus was praying in a certain place, and when he had
finished, one of his disciples said to him, ”Lord, teach us
to pray just as John taught his disciples.” Luke 11:1
Scriptures tell us Jesus prayed before every major action
in His life. We should strive to follow Jesus’ example by
always praying first. In that way, we can ensure we are
doing God’s work and not our own.
SAVE THE DATE: 10th Annual St. James Community Golf Scramble will be held on August 13 at the Lincoln Trail
Country Club in Vine Grove at 9:00a.m.
Year of Mercy Blurb: Ecumenical and Interfaith Dialogue During this year of Mercy, we are called in a special way
to be peacemakers by utilizing the skill of dialogue as we work together to address the increasing violence and tension in
our world. Pope Francis reminds us: “In this work (peace building), the role of religion is fundamental. It is not possible
to build bridges between people while forgetting God. But the converse is also true: it is not possible to establish true
links with God while ignoring other people. Hence it is important to intensify dialogue among the various religions, and I
am thinking particularly of dialogue with Islam” (March 23, 2013). The year of Mercy presents wonderful opportunities to
renew relationships with persons of other faiths in our quest to work for the common good.
Marriage Moments
Do you ever bargain with your spouse? "If you watch the kids,
I'll be able to do this repair project." OR "If only you could give
me 5 more minutes, 1 hour, 1 day to finish this, we could spend
some quality time together. It's not bad to negotiate, but keep
your end of the bargain. (Gn. 18: 20-32)
Parenting Pointers
The 4th Sunday in July is Parents Day. Go beyond
the "Hallmark Holiday" notion. Perhaps use it as a
time to tell your child what it was like for you to
await their birth. How did you prepare?
Word of Life Prayer
For those facing serious illness: May they be comforted by God’s love through the support of
family, friends, and the local community.
Pray for All the Sick of Our Parish, especially the following:
John Robert “Bob” Barker, Phyliss Barker, Shannon Beasley, Ann-Marie Beatty, Jimmy Brown, Robert (Tuffy) Brown,
