- Sunday Scripture Readings
- Reflection on the Scriptures has become
more and more a part of basic Christian spirituality. At times
we would like to return to the Sunday Scriptures at home, but
we do not have the missalette with us. At other times we may
be interested in seeing just what came before or immediately
after the reading for the day to gain more insights.
To encourage this encounter with
the Scriptures, we will be including in the bulletin the scripture
reading references for the current Sunday and the following Sunday.
In addition, in our on-line bulletin we will have the actual
links to the readings.

- QUESTIONS OF THE
WEEK
- Fourteenth Sunday
in Ordinary Time
-
- Whenever we do the works of charity
and justice, we are part of the unfolding of God's plan. Our
love for the poor, the lowly and for sinners is part of Christ's
continuing ministry of proclaiming that God's kingdom is at hand.
-
- Adults:
What is one specific way that I can touch the life of one of
God's "infants" this week with an act of love that
says to that person "the kingdom is at hand"?
-
- Children: How might I bring peace to others this week?

LITURGY
BYTES & BITS
The Liturgy of the Word and the Liturgy of
the Eucharist together make up one celebration. The Liturgy of
the Word is the foundation on which the Liturgy of the Eucharist
is based. In the Liturgy of the Word we hear God’s call
to be the people of God and we hear how much God has done for
us and continues to do for us. The Liturgy of the Eucharist is
a response to that call and to the love which has been shown
to us. Our response can only be to “do Eucharist,”
that is, to give thanks and praise to the One who has given us
everything. The “General Instruction to the Roman Missal”
describes the Liturgy of the Word and the Liturgy of the Eucharist
as “two parts so closely connected that they form but one
single act of worship.” --Ministry

The holidays can be a stressful time for those
who have been harmed by sexual abuse, especially by representatives
of the Church. Counseling is a vital part of the healing process
for these survivors. The Counseling Assistance Fund, created
by the Catholic Conference of Ohio, can help individuals who
are reluctant to contact the Church for help. For more information
on this program or to submit a claim, you may go to the website
at www.counselingassistancefund.org
HELP NEEDED!
CTK has provided the free community supper on the 2nd Thursday
of the month at the UCM house on College Street. The college
students aren’t here during summer months to help out, so
we’re asking for volunteers from CTK to help on July
12 and/or August 9. We start food prep around 4:00 PM in
the basement of UCM, and we serve dinner at 5:30. Clean up is
finished by 7:00. We can use help for any part of the evening
-- the food is already provided; we just need to cook it, serve
it, and then clean up. If you can come and help, please call
Mary or Pat Reddan at 740 594 8591.
