Lord, come to my aid! (Psalm 40). Let us keep our eyes fixed on Jesus, the leader and perfecter of faith (Hebrews 12:1-4). I have come to set the earth on fire, and how I wish it were already blazing (Luke 12:49-53). Readings for the Week Monday: Vigil: 1 Chr 15:3-4, 15-16; 16:1-2; Ps 132:6-7, 9-10, 13-14; 1 Cor 15:54b-57; Lk 11:27-28 Day: Rv 11:19a; 12:1-6a, 10ab; Ps 45:10-12, 16; 1 Cor 15:20-27; Lk 1:39-56 Tuesday: Ez 28:1-10; Dt 32:26-28, 30, 35cd-36ab; Mt 19:23-30 Wednesday: Ez 34:1-11; Ps 23:1-6; Mt 20:1-16 Thursday: Ez 36:23-28; Ps 51:12-15, 18-19; Mt 22:1-14 Friday: Ez 37:1-14; Ps 107:2-9; Mt 22:34-40 Saturday: Ez 43:1-7a; Ps 85:9ab, 10-14; Mt 23:1-12 Sunday: Is 66:18-21; Ps 117:1, 2; Heb 12:5-7, 11-13; Lk 13:22-30 Saints and Special Observances Sunday: Monday: Tuesday: Friday: Saturday: Twentieth Sunday in Ordinary Time The Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary St. Stephen of Hungary St. John Eudes St. Bernard Scripture Reflection Today’s responsorial psalm, Psalm 40, is more familiar to us with the refrain “Here am I, Lord.” This “Here am I” is Jeremiah’s great prophetic response to God’s call. But today’s story of Jeremiah and the refrain “Lord, come to my aid!” remind us that there are always two sides to following the call of God. The author of the Letter to the Hebrews knew this, too. He reminded his readers that even weighted down with burdens and sins, we can still persevere by keeping our eyes fixed on Jesus, who himself knew the shame and pain of the cross, but saw beyond it to the joy of sitting at the right of the throne of God. Jesus himself gave the disciples a “sneak preview” of a baptism that would not be as wondrous as the one in the Jordan that inaugurated his ministry, but would be one of fire and anguish. Today’s words from scripture may not be terribly soothing, but in their honesty and strength we can acknowledge the difficulties of daily discipleship, and take comfort in the assurance of our own salvation in Christ. Tuesday, August 16 Our Family Prayer 9:00 am William John Hammond Loving and faithful God, through the years the people of our archdiocese have appreciated the prayers and love of Our Lady of Prompt Succor in times of war, disaster, epidemic and illness. We come to you, Father, with Mary our Mother, and ask you to help us in the battle of today against violence, murder and racism. We implore you to give us your wisdom that we may build a community founded on the values of Jesus, which gives respect to the life and dignity of all people. Bless parents that they may form their children in faith. Bless and protect our youth that they may be peacemakers of our time. Give consolation to those who have lost loved ones through violence. Hear our prayer and give us the perseverance to be a voice for life and human dignity in our community. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Our Lady of Prompt Succor, hasten to help us. Mother Henriette Delille, pray for us that we may be a holy family. Amen. Wednesday, August 17 9:00 am William John Hammond Thursday, August 18 9:00 am Anthony J.

The money obtained from this appeal will be used for the sole purpose of supporting these unfortunate children who have lost their parents due to war, death of their mothers during birth and the devastating disease HIV/ AIDS, so that they may go to school in order for them to have a better future. We are working with serious issues so that we may help these orphans to improve their life through education and good loving care which they miss from not having parents. Sr. Fidelis Gaudiosa will speak at all Masses this weekend. Parish School of Religion: August 14 The Parish School of Religion will begin classes on August 14th. Students will report to the school building and parents will report to the Melancon Center for a parent meeting. We are still in need of volunteers in the classrooms.

Keyless Campus A few months ago we installed key fobs around campus. The second phase of this project is rekeying the existing locks. All locks will be re-keyed in the next week. If you have an old key, they will no longer work. If you need a new key, please see the parish office. Melancon Center Parking Lot The Feast of the Assumption is NOT a Holy Day of Obligation this year. Some trees in the Melancon Center parking lot have been removed because their roots were clogging the drain lines and preventing the parking lot from draining. Now that the trees have been removed, the drain lines will be cleaned, allowing the parking lot to drain properly. New trees that are more appropriate for the location will be planted once the drainage has been fixed. Organ Recital: August 16 Childcare Ministry Feast of the Assumption: August 15 Saint Joseph Abbey and Seminary College Organist and Professor of Sacred Music, Watson Copeland, will present an organ recital of the works of J. S. Bach, Louis Vierne, Sigfrid KargElert, and Charles Ives at St. Catherine of Siena on Tuesday, August 16 at 7:00pm. In addition, favorite hymns of the Saint Joseph Seminary College seminarians will be sung during the recital. The recital will end with an improvisation. A free-will offering will be taken up to benefit the ongoing flood-relief efforts at Saint Joseph Abbey and Seminary College. Reception following in the Melancon Center.
