Jesus was praying in a certain place, and when he had finished, one of his disciples said to him, "Lord, teach us to pray just as John taught his disciples."
He said to them, "When you pray, say: Father, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come. Give us each day our daily bread and forgive us our sins for we ourselves for-give everyone in debt to us, and do not subject us to the final test."
And he said to them, "Suppose one of you has a friend to whom he goes at midnight and says, 'Friend, lend me three loaves of bread, for a friend of mine has arrived at my house from a journey and I have nothing to offer him,' and he says in reply from within, 'Do not bother me; the door has already been locked and my children and I are already in bed. I cannot get up to give you anything.'
Let us pray for all those who have died, especially David Arritt
Son of Paul and Carol Arritt

55 & Better
I tell you, if he does not get up to give the visitor the loaves because of their friendship, he will get up to give him whatever he needs because of his persistence.
"And I tell you, ask and you will receive; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks, receives; and the one who seeks, finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.
What father among you would hand his son a snake when he asks for a fish? Or hand him a scorpion when he asks for an egg? If you then, who are wicked, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him?" (Luke 11:1-13)
Jesus teaches us to approach God with gentle persistence by calling God Father, praising God, seeking to live God's reign, asking Him to forgive us as we have forgiven other, and to be freed from the final test.
Ever the good parent, God gives us good things, even when they are not exactly what we asked to receive.
Jesus revealed God's persistent love for us. How persistent are we to see, know, and live that love through regular prayer?
What greater way to pray is there than to pray the words Christ himself gave us?
The SFS Community Food Bank is located at 29873 Comercio Avenue in Rancho Santa Margarita.

The Eucharist is the Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Christ and He calls us to spend time with Him in prayer and adoration.
Each month, we have a 24-hour Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament. We encourage you to consider spending some time with Christ, present in the Blessed Sacrament. Morning,
afternoon, and evening time slots are available.
Our next 24-hour adoration is August 1-2.
As Jesus said to his apostles who slept while he prayed in the Garden prior to his arrest and crucifixion, “Could you not spend one hour with me?”
Dear Friends,
I invite you to join me on my first PILGRIMAGE of a lifetime! November 25 through December 5.
Whether it’s the first time or a return trip, to walk in the steps of Jesus will be an amazing spiritual experience. See the stories you’ve read or heard over the years come alive! Reaffirm your baptism in the waters of the JORDAN RIVER where Jesus was baptized. Visit BETHLEHEM where Jesus was born, NAZARETH where Jesus grew up and worked as a carpenter alongside Joseph, and JERUSALEM the HOLY CITY that was witness to the death and resurrection of our Lord. Imagine crossing the SEA OF GALILEE as Jesus calmed the storm, walking through the MOUNT OF OLIVES as Jesus prayed with His disciples or renewing your wedding vows at the sight of the first miracle in CANA.
Come join me to pray, to do pilgrimage, and to give thanks for our tremendous gift of faith in the HOLY LAND.
Sincerely,
Fr. Duy Le

Mass Intentions for the Week
San Francisco Solano Parish is seeking a new Coordinator of Liturgy
Our present Coordinator of Liturgy, Dana Hardenburgh, is moving to a new job and we are seeking someone for this part-time job serving the entire parish community at prayer.
Training and scheduling of our many liturgical ministers and preparations for our Sunday liturgies are part of this work as well as for seasonal and special events.
The ordering of sacristy supplies is another important responsibility.
We hope to fill this position as soon as possible.
A job description and application form are available in the parish office.
Parking lot work this week Beginning this Tuesday, July 26, we will be making repairs in the parish parking lot.
Our parish parking lot is being slurry sealed and restriped, and the handicap ramps are being redone to be ADA compliant. The work is expected to take three full days.
On Tuesday and Wednesday, while the handicap spaces are being rebuilt, there should be minimal impact on parking.
On Thursday and possibly Friday, the parish parking lots will be closed. This includes the parking spaces along the Youth Faith Formation building and the Parish Center. If you are here on Thursday, please park in the High School lot nearest Antonio Parkway. You will need to walk around the areas being slurry coated; you will need to enter the parish facilities through the portals at the front of the Church only. Foot traffic through the parish parking areas will be very limited until the seal coat is dry, and we do not want you to get the slurry coat on your shoes or on the walkways and carpets of the parish facilities.
We regret the inconvenience as we keep our parish facilities in good repair and improve handicap access .

The Catholic Church believes that our celebration of the Eucharist, the Mass, is the “source and the summit” of our faith. It is at the heart of our life of faith. As Catholics, we proclaim our belief that the bread and wine consecrated during Mass become Christ Himself—His Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity—Holy Communion. We do not believe it is just a symbol. Once consecrated, it is not merely a “cracker,” a “piece of bread” or “a cup of wine.” With eyes of faith we see the Body and Blood of Christ. We meet Jesus present sacramentally. The Mass is the focal point that brings us together as a worshiping community and we are nourished with the Word of the Scriptures and with Holy Communion. After being consecrated and distributed at Mass as Holy Communion, the Sacred Hosts are placed in the tabernacle in the Blessed Sacrament Chapel.
There, a candle signals the constant presence of Christ. This holy place is open whenever the church is open and Jesus waits for visitors. Come visit Him often!
But our spiritual life is not limited solely to participation in the Mass. Pope Saint John Paul II called worship of the Most Holy Eucharist outside of Mass “an important daily practice that becomes an inexhaustible source of holiness” and a practice “of inestimable value for the life of the Church.”
On the first Monday of every month at our parish we have Eucharistic Adoration with Exposition. As the morning Mass ends, the Blessed Sacrament is placed in a beautiful stand known as a monstrance and Jesus Christ is exposed in the Blessed Sacrament for all to see. We have committed worshippers who follow an hourly schedule for visiting Our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament to ensure that the Eucharist is never without veneration. Exposition concludes 24 hours later, just prior to morning Mass on Tuesday. Everyone is welcome to come spend time in the presence of Christ for as short or as long a time as you like. Come adore Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament even if you are not a scheduled adorer. Any time you can spend with Him is transforming.
How do we respond to such a mystery? We respond with praise, adoration and joy. Our Lord gave us Himself in such a beautiful way at the Last Supper so that we would never be left alone.
Once you have decided to visit with Our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament, what do you do? What do you say? As you enter the Blessed Sacrament Chapel, you will see the Eucharist displayed in the monstrance. It is customary to genuflect and bow your head before taking your place. Kneel or sit as you wish. Once you have settled in, the question arises, “now what?”
St. Clare of Assisi gave us a suggestion: 1. Gaze: Spend time simply looking at the Host. Take time to see Jesus Christ there. His Real Presence
is essential to our faith. It’s worth taking time in quiet connection. 2. Consider: Think of Jesus in the context of His life. Reflect on His ministry to the sick, his agony in the
garden and His passion, death and the resurrection that followed. Think of this great gift He offers you, that you might spend some time with Him.
3. Contemplate: Pray. Pour your heart out to Christ. Ask Him to help you with your concerns and worries. Thank Him for all His gifts. Praise Him for the glories of the world in which we live. Speak to Him as you would a close friend. Jesus knows what you need; speak plainly from your heart.
4. Imitate: Eucharistic Adoration has had a profound effect on the lives of those who spend time in communion with Him. The peace that surpasses all others is attainable through Adoration. Take His peace back into your daily life.
This style of prayer can help you focus on Jesus during your time with Him.
There are other things you can do: Read a passage of scripture and reflect on it with Jesus; recite the rosary reflecting on the moments of His life; keep a spiritual journal; read a spiritual book (look for one with prayers, quotes from saints or specifically for Holy Hours).
(Some of the above information is taken from The Catholic Update on Eucharistic Adoration; the Second Vati-can Council’s Dogmatic Constitution on the Church Lumen Gentium and from The Catechism of the Catholic Church.)
If you have questions regarding Adoration or would like to commit to a scheduled time as an adorer, please contact Maura Byron at 949-709-5830 or at [email protected].

Friday Morning Bible Study
Evening Bible Study
Scripture plays a central role in our Catholic faith: the entire first half of Mass is the Liturgy of the Word, with a homily applying the weekly scriptures to our lives. Yet, how many of us have actually read and studied the Bible and know what’s in it?
San Francisco Solano’s evening Bible study group will begin its 2016 summer session with the Gospel of Mark. Our mission is to discover the Bible systematically, verse-by-verse, Genesis through Revelation, utilizing a combination of audio taught by renowned literary scholar, Dr. Bill Creasy.
Dr. Creasy has been called “a Catholic Bible teacher extraordinaire” and “the Garrison Keillor of Bible study!” Check him out at logosbiblestudy.com. Come join us for coffee and dessert as we study the Bible.
Classes begin: Monday, July 18 or Thursday,July 21
