INTRODUCTION TO THE LITURGY OF SUNDAY
“Do this and you will live” – You must love God and your neighbor.
The precepts of the Lord are right and give joy to the heart.
In today's first reading, we are guided in a very simple manner – OBEY the Lord Your
God by observing his commandments – the word that is very near you – in your mouth
and in your heart for you to observe. The second reading from Colossians tells us of
Christ and gives us the image of the invisible God now reconciled with all things
through the blood of his Cross. In the Gospel, the wise of this world put Jesus to the
test, wanting to justify themselves only to find justification arrives through MERCY.
“Go and do likewise”
Have we failed to love and show mercy? Remember we remain works in progress, always
needing our Savior at our side for nothing is impossible for Him. Wisdom is present when we heed
Jesus’ example and his words: “Do this and you will love”. Yes, it is as plain as black and white!

Faith and Family Day at the Ball Park
The Archdiocese of Edmonton
Invites all parishioners to join us for Faith and Family Day with the Edmonton Prospects of the Western
Major Baseball League, this Tuesday evening, July 12, 2016 at the Edmonton Ball park (formerly Telus
Field). It will be a summer evening of baseball, entertainment and family fun in Edmonton’s beautiful river
valley. We’ve invited a special soloist for the national anthem and persuaded Bishop Gregory Bittman to
throw the opening pitch. Tickets range from $9 - $30 and free for kids under 6 – but you get 2 for the
price of 1 on game day. The box office opens at 5:30 pm; game starts at 7 pm. We hope to see you there!
For more information, visit the Archdiocese of Edmonton website (at www.caedm.ca).

Time to think about Summer Camp. Are you
looking for an enriching summer experience for your kids? The
Archdiocese operates two camps for young people: Our Lady
of Victory Camp at Gull Lake, northwest of Red Deer, and
Camp Encounter at Lac La Nonne, northwest of Edmonton.
Both offer week-long summer camps for youth, combining
outdoor adventure, games and crafts along with Catholic
spirituality.

Canadian Catholic Organization for Development and Peace The official development organization of the Canadian Catholic Church is
inspired by the values of the Gospel. In over 40 years, Development and Peace has supported 15,200 local initiatives in
agriculture, education, and community action in 70 countries in the developing world.
Catholic Social Services CSS provides help and creates hope for women and children escaping domestic violence; for men and women
challenged by substance abuse and mental health issues; for youth searching for a place to call home; for people living with HIV and
AIDS; for families in need of counselling and mediation; and for newcomers to Canada.
Diocese of Mackenzie - Fort Smith Our twin diocese in the North is one of the world’s largest in geographical area, and is home to
about 28,000 Catholics – more than half the NWT population, primarily Dene, Metis, and Inuvialuit peoples. Distances are great, and
resources are few. Our donations support positive projects that help build the spiritual health of the community, whether it’s building or
restoring churches, training and supporting pastoral leaders, or helping to fund programs that bring young people, families and
communities together.
Evangelization of Nations Mission dioceses around the globe receive regular annual assistance through the Pontifical Mission Societies.
Our donations support catechetical programs, seminaries, church and chapel construction, the work of religious communities in health
care and education, and communication and transportation needs.
Needs of the Canadian Church Our contributions help support the work of the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops. The CCCB is
involved in national and international areas of pastoral activity, including social justice, ecumenical and interfaith relations, collaboration
with Aboriginal Peoples, life and family issues, liturgy, and catechesis.
Needs of the Church in the Holy Land The Holy Land Commissariat uses our donations for the protection and upkeep of shrines,
basilicas and churches, and to support the shrinking number of Christians in the Holy Land through pastoral work, Catholic schools, and
social assistance.
Newman Theological College Through its certificate, undergraduate and graduate programs, Newman provides theological education
that prepares lay persons and ordained ministers for service and leadership in the Church. Unlike government-funded institutions, the
college relies on our donations.
Pope’s Pastoral Works When a disastrous flood, earthquake or other disaster strikes, the Holy Father offers financial help to people in
the region affected. In the name of Catholics everywhere, he displays Christ’s love and compassion for those who suffer.
St. Joseph Priests’ Foundation of Edmonton The Foundation provides a modest retirement income and other assistance as required to
ensure the dignified care of archdiocesan priests when they retire or can no longer serve the People of God.
St. Joseph Seminary Since 1927, the Seminary has served the Church in Western Canada and beyond, through its specific mission of
training current and future diocesan priests. These are the men who will serve our parishes through their preaching and example, their
celebration of the sacraments, and their leadership.
St. Joseph’s College Our gifts support Campus Ministry, which provides personal and spiritual counselling, peer support, worship
services, reflection and discussion groups, interfaith and volunteer activities, and a friendly space for students, faculty and staff at the
University of Alberta.

Pausing for Prayer
Heavenly Father, today I began MY day with all I just HAD to do;
The should’s, the could’s, the would’s and won’t;
The wants and needs, the do’s and don’t’s.
Then something stirred within MY being, which caused ME great alarm.
Can you be quiet, still, and pause for just a moment, there’s no harm?
There’s a path that’s narrow and hardly worn,
but it will cause someone to be torn.
It leads you to still waters warm, it leads you to the peaceful morn.
And there before me shone the light, its brilliance warmed with the very sight.
There was no doubt, or fear or dread,
just calm, and wisdom, strength and might.
Thank You for your presence Abba!
