Better that only a few Catholics should be left,
staunch and sincere in their religion, than that they
should, remaining many, desire as it were, to be in collusion with the Church’s enemies and in conformity with
the open foes of our faith.

CHURCH COLLECTION Sun. July 12th. $ 7,091.00
We appreciate the generosity of you, our parishioners.
When we have a second collection, people tend to split their
usual offering between the two collections, which is understandable given the pressure of our economic times. However we rely on the first collection to keep the parish going
and pay the bills. We ask that if there are two collections
you include the usual amount you give in the first collection
and do the best with the second if you are able to.

FROM THE DESK OF

16th Sunday in Ordinary Time
July 19, 2015
Greetings to All!
When reading this week’s scriptures for
mass, we come to realize that God wants us
“shepherds” those who will lead His people to
Himself and those who are entrusted with that
sacred duty are not to be lazy in faith themselves. As I said last week, when we reject the
teachings of the Church, we reject Christ. Here,
it is the same. Our intentions and our actions
must be that of God Himself. The very longing
for God comes from the soul itself.
The will of God for us is to be with Him
in heaven, however, the road to heaven is long
and narrow; but with God, we can obtain the
eternal abode with the Trinity and our Blessed
Mother, because all things are possible with
God.
The analogy used is that of shepherd and
sheep. We, His people are His flock- the sheep
and those who lead are His shepherds- the bishops and priests who bring the sacraments that
Christ Himself instituted to give grace. Grace
that will enable to us live and participate in the
Triune God- God the Father, God the Son, and
God the Holy Spirit.
The Blood of Christ washes away sin. So
when we receive the EUCHARIST, we are receiving Jesus’ Body. Blood, Soul and Divinity.
We are actually taking into our bodies Christ
Himself! What an awesome gift that God gives
u of Himself for His people!
Since our soul tends and longs for God
because it knows that is where the soul belongs,
the human being- the person themselves
searches the earth for truth and that truth is
God. Pilate asked Christ, “what is truth?” This
is what Jesus meant- those who “LISTEN to my
voice hear the truth.”
Our duty is to seek God, to seek the
Truth and ask for the increase of Faith, Hope
and Charity in our lives.
Our prayer needs to be that of the entrance antiphon for this weekSee, I have God for my help. The Lord sustains my soul. I will sacrifice to you with willing
heart, and praise your name, O lord for it is good.
Let us pray truly- The Lord is my Shepherd; there is nothing I shall want. Amen.
Buona Domenica!
Good Sunday!
