We, the parish of Saints Mary and Mathias Catholic Church, WELCOME all to CELEBRATE, TEACH and LIVE the Mission of JESUS CHRIST
Ss. Mary & Mathias Church 215 W. 8th St. Muscatine, IA 52761
From the Pastors Desk July 21th, 2019 As we continue our
game plan message se-
ries, this week we are
looking at an image St.
Paul gives us, the im-
age of our lives as a
race. I have to admit, I
have never been much of a runner. But, don’t
worry if, like me, you are not a naturally born
runner. St. Paul doesn’t use this image in a lit-
eral sense. Rather, he uses it to teach us an
important lesson.
If you have ever watched runners race up
Brady Street hill as part of the Bix 7, those
who are at the head of the pack make it look
so easy. The truth is, they have trained, prac-
ticed, and ran for miles in preparation for the
race that matters.
God gives each of us unique gifts and tal-
ents. Just as a runner perfects their talent for
running by spending many hours in training
and practice, so too do we discover what
God’s game plan for us is by practicing using
the gifts God has given us. I encourage you to
tame time this week to ask the Lord to reveal
to you the unique gifts and talents he has
blessed you with. Write them down. “I thank
God for gifting me with…..(your unique tal-
ent).” And then, pray for the grace and cour-
age necessary to put these unique gifts to use
for the building up of the Body of Christ, the
Church.

MISA DE SANACION
Jueves, 01 de Agosto Iglesia de San Patricio
en Iowa City Confeciones 6pm
Misa 7pm
Mientras que seguimos nuestra serie del mensaje del plan de juego, esta semana estamos viendo una imagen
que San Pablo nos da, la imagen de nuestras vidas como una carrera. Tengo que admitir, nunca he sido mucho de un corridor. Pero, no te preocupes si, como yo, no eres un corredor natural. San Pablo no usa esta imagen
en un sentido literal. Más bien, lo usa para enseñarnos una lección importante.
Si alguna vez has visto a los corredores correr por la calle Brady como parte del Bix 7, aquellos que están al frente de la carerra hacen que parezca tan fácil. La verdad es que han entrenado, practicado y corrido kilómet-
ros en preparación para la carrera que importa.
Dios nos da a cada uno de nosotros dones y talentos únicos. Así como un corredor perfecciona su talento para
correr pasando muchas horas entrenando y practicando, también descubrimos cuál es el plan de juego de Dios para nosotros practicando usando los dones que Dios nos ha dado. Los animo a domar el tiempo esta semana para pedir al Se-
ñor que revelarán los dones y talentos que él te ha bendecido. Escríbelos. "Doy gracias a Dios por regalarme... (tu talento úni-co)". Y luego, oren por la gracia y el valor necesarios
Unas Palabras del Padre Troy
