The scriptures this weekend ask us to reflect on what we truly “want” and “seek” in life. The “pearl of great price” and the hidden treasure are different for each of us. So often we seek after things that we believe are so important in order to make us happy, only to be discouraged and disappointed. The real search for treasure and pearls of value begins with understanding what is our deepest want and longing. I love the first reading from 1 Kings 3. God appears to Solomon and tells him to ask for “anything and I will give it to you”. Solomon could have asked for a bigger palace or fame or success or more wives. Instead, Solomon rightly asks the Lord: “give your servant an understanding heart, to judge your people and to distinguish right from wrong.” Wow! The most important things are not wealth or fame or power. The most noble thing to pray for, to ask God for, is wisdom and understanding. So the next time you find yourself in prayer, for yourself, for your children and friends, for government leaders, for anyone: pray for an understanding heart to distinguish right from wrong.

Oceania: That Christians in Oceania may joyfully announce the faith to all the people of that region. Velma Mills and Grace Cormier who died recently. Baptisms Elijah Luke Peltier, child of Brody Patrick Peltier and Simone Adele LeBlanc PRAYER FOR HURRICANE SEASON O God, Master of this passing world, hear the humble voices of your children. The Sea of Galilee obeyed your order and returned to its former quietude. You are still the Master of land and sea. We live in the shadow of a danger over which we have no control: the Gulf, like a provoked and angry giant, can awake from its seeming lethargy, overstep its conventional boundaries, invade our land and spread chaos and disaster. During this hurricane season we turn to you, O loving Father. Spare us from past tragedies whose memories are still so vivid and whose wounds seem to refuse to heal with the passing of time. O Virgin, Star of the Sea, Our Beloved Mother, we ask you to plead with your Son on our behalf, so that spared from the calamities common to this area and animated with a true spirit of gratitude, we will walk in the footsteps of your divine Son to reach heavenly Jerusalem where a stormless eternity awaits us.

Hope By Chris Cambre In his book Man’s Search for Meaning, Viktor Frankl, a Nazi concentration camp survivor, noticed that in horrible situations some people would react radically different from others. Some people might give in to despair and see no meaning to life, while others would praise God for every second they had to live. Remarking on this phenomenon, Frankl wrote, "He who has a why to live for can bear with almost any how" (Man’s Search for Meaning, 121). In other words, those who chose to have hope also chose to live. Hope gave them life; it gave them purpose. Hope gave them the will to live. We see then that hope is essential to man. Furthermore, hope is essential to a Christian. It is his weapon against the despair that the world can often bring. We all desire purpose in our life, and it is Christian hope that gives us our true purpose. The Catechism defines hope as, “The theological virtue by which we desire the kingdom of heaven and eternal life as our happiness, placing our trust in Christ’s promises and relying not on our own strength, but on the help of the grace of the Holy Spirit” (CCC 1817). Hope is a gift given to us by God by means of Jesus Christ. What he has revealed to us corresponds to the deepest desires of our heart. We now know that our lives have purpose; we know our lives will not end in emptiness. Most importantly, we also know that our suffering here on earth is not in vain. The gift of hope helps us endure suffering and the many difficulties in life. We know that our suffering can be redemptive, just as Christ’s suffering redeemed all. So do not give in to despair and do not let the troubles of the world bring you down. There is a God who loves you and who died for you. Let us live our lives with purpose and with hope.

He asks the Lord to give him an understanding heart, compassion towards God’s people and the insight to distinguish right from wrong. An understanding heart, or wisdom, is a gift from God. It is a gift that enables us to make good decisions and prudent choices. Cultivating and sharing this gift is essential, especially when poor decisions and lack of compassion have consequences that affect the lives of others. Do we exercise good stewardship over the gift of wisdom? Do we share our compassionate hearts with others? ~Time, Talent, and Treasure~ Page 5 Management and Finance Sounds, Bells, Clocks and Leaks Youth Ministry For a couple weeks now, the Church Bell and Clock system has not been working properly. We have sent off for parts and repairs. Also the sound system has not been functioning properly. That too is in the process of repair. Thanks for your understanding and ongoing financial support of the parish to help us with these repairs. Additionally, with the recent heavy rains we have discovered a number of leaks within the church and these too are being addressed. Jacob LeBouef early in the summer had made plans to resign as Youth Minister for the parish due to other family & work obligations. I have asked him to remain for a few more months in order for me to have more time to interview and search for a new Youth Minister for our Parish. Any adult interested in this position should contact me. Thanks. Fr.
