NINETEENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME– August 13, 2017
Reflection
“For with you is the fountain of Life, in your light we see light.” (Psalm 36:9)
Life is the best thing God has given to you – so be grateful for it. When you accept the goodness of
life, you will stop fighting against it. When you accept that life is good, all impatience and frustration will be removed and life becomes
a satisfying and exciting experience. Allow your life to be controlled by godly
principles and it will become an expression of those plans. You will possess a unity with the
creator, and your life will be filled with the fullness of God.
“Creator God, I thank you that you have a plan for my life that is filled with the fullness of You.
Amen.”
St. Maximilian Kolbe
St. Maximilian Kolbe was born as Raymund Kolbe on January 8, 1894, in the Kingdom of Poland, part of the Russian Empire. He was a Polish Conventual Franciscan friar and a martyr in the German death Camp of Auschwitz during World War II. St. Maximilian Kolbe was very active in promoting the Immaculate Virgin Mary and is known as the Apostle of Consecration to Mary. Much of his life was strongly influenced by a vision he had of the Virgin Mary when he was 12. "That night I asked the Mother of God what was to become of me. Then she came to me holding two crowns, one white, the other red. She asked me if I was willing to accept either of these crowns. The white one meant that I should persevere in purity, and the red that I should become a martyr. I said that I would accept them both." One year after his vision, Kolbe and his elder brother, Francis joined the Conventual Franciscans. In 1910, Kolbe was given the religious name Maximilian, after being allowed to enter the novitiate, and in 1911, he professed his first vows. At the age of 21, Kolbe earned a doctorate in philosophy from the Pontifical Gregorian University. He would also earn a doctorate in theology by the time he was 28. Recognized as the Servant of God, Kolbe was beatified as a "Confessor of the Faith" on October 17, 1971 by Pope Paul VI and canonized by Pope John Paul II on October 10, 1982. Pope John Paul II declared Kolbe not a confessor, but a martyr. Kolbe's is often depicted in a prison uniform and with a needle being injected into an arm. He is the patron saint of drug addicts, prisoners, families, and the pro-life movement and his feast day is celebrated on August 14.
Respect Life Society Our Lady Statue
In 2001, the Respect Life Society erected a statue of Our
Lady of Life outside the entrance to St. John’s Church. The statue was made in Italy by the Demetz Studios and is called
the Madonna della Strada with children. We have erected this statue to foster a respect for all life at all its stages from
the moment of conception until natural death. When you pass the statue we encourage you to pray for all people to
return to an appreciation and belief in the sanctity of human life.
Feast of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary (Holy Day of Obligation)
All Masses will be in the Main Church Mass Schedule
Monday Vigil – 7:00pm Tuesday – 9am, 12 noon
Celebrated every year on August 15, the Feast of the Assumption
of the Blessed Virgin Mary commemorates the death of Mary and her bodily assumption into Heaven, before her body could
begin to decay—a foretaste of our own bodily resurrection at the end of time. Because it signifies the Blessed Virgin's passing
into eternal life, it is the most important of all Marian feasts and a Holy Day of Obligation.

Cycle A Gospel Today Nineteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time | Matthew 14:22-33 The boat carrying the disciples was a few miles out to sea when Jesus, walking on the water, came toward them. Seeing they were frightened Jesus said, “Take courage, it is I, do not be afraid.” Ma hew 14:27 When Peter showed faith and walked toward Jesus on the water, his faith faltered and he began to sink, crying out to Jesus to save him.
