- QUESTIONS FOR
THE RIDE HOME
- 14th Sunday
in Ordinary Time
Today's readings remind us how Jesus, as Ezekiel
the prophet before him, encountered resistance when he tried
to bring God's word to his friends and neighbors. As you go about
your routine this week, think about the following question:
Adults: When my good intentions are misunderstood
by those closest to me, how should I respond?
Children: How can I share God's love this
week with my friends and neighbors?

MISSION TO
SERVE
Our group of 17 "missionaries"
returned to Athens last Sunday very tired but also with a sense
of fulfillment because they were able to help several people
in the process of returning to their homes.
"I just feel so blessed and humbled to
have had the chance to do God’s work with such a special
group of people. And that’s really what being Catholic is
all about -- it’s that communal aspect, like the disciples.
We are all sinners, susceptible to the trappings of human nature
and we can’t go it alone. We need each other, like crops
need sunlight and water, to replenish and enrich the spiritual
life of the soul. And after going on the trip, I really feel
renewed in the Holy Spirit." (posted by Kevin)
Please check out pictures and more impressions
of the trip by linking into their web page from the CTK website.
SAINTS OF JULY
- St. Veronica Giuliani
A native of Binasco, Italy, born in 1660, she
entered the Capuchins in 1677. A mystic, she was the recipient
of a stigmata in 1697 and visions, the accounts of which are
quite detailed. Her feast day is July 9.
St. Benedict
Benedict founded the monastery that became
the roots of the Church’s monastic system. Instead of founding
small separate communities he gathered his disciples into one
whole community. His own sister, Saint Scholastica, settled nearby
to live a religious life.
Benedict died in 547 while standing in prayer
before God. His feast day is July 11.
St. Bonaventure
Bishop and Doctor of the Church, Bonaventure
was born in Tuscany, in 1221. At the age of twenty-two he entered
the Franciscan Order and was sent to Paris to complete his studies.
In Paris he became the intimate friend of the great St. Thomas
Aquinas. He received the degree of Doctor, together with St.
Thomas Aquinas. He died while he was assisting at the Second
Council of Lyons, on July 15, 1274. His feast day is July
15.

REST
IN PEACE
Please pray for J.D. Schriner's mother
Margaret who passed away this week. We offer the Schriner
family our sincere sympathy while praying that she and all the
souls of the faithful departed rest in the peace of our Lord.
RESPECT
LIFE
We live in a society that wants to wipe out
human imperfection. We attempt to control every aspect of our
lives. This attitude has led to increased pressure on parents
to abort "imperfect" children, with doctors suggesting
to parents that it would be selfish to give birth to such children.
Theresa Bonoparis, Partners for Life newsletter (Good Counsel
publication), 11/05.
PEACE & JUSTICE COMMITTEE
“Since peace is based upon good order,
it follows that, for empires as well as individuals, concord
should have her principal foundation in justice and charity.”

WORK FOR JUSTICE. Convinced of the truth of this, the annual
Pax Christi USA gathering has as its theme: GOD’S PEOPLE
CAN WAIT NO LONGER: TWENTY YEARS SINCE [The US Bishops’
