Vincentian Priests and Brothers Urge Protection for Immigrant Women and Children

“The Western Province of the Congregation of the Mission supports the statements of the United States Con-ference of Catholic Bishops, the Sisters of Charity Federation and other groups that separating immigrant children from their parents at the United States/Mexico border is immoral. We also oppose the recent decision of the U.S. administration that strips asylum protections for women who are victims of domestic violence, and others fleeing violence in their homeland. We urge the U.S. Attorney General, Congress, the courts and policy makers to protect the integrity of fami-lies and respect the dignity of every human person. We stand with our immigrant sisters and brothers in sup-port of their human rights.”

PARISH CALENDAR

July 8 Children’s Liturgy of the Word (10am & 8:30pm)

July 19 St. Joseph Church Social “Movie Night” (6:00 pm)

OBSTACLES The prophet Ezekiel, Saint Paul, and the Lord Jesus share something in common in today’s scripture readings. They all experience obstacles to their ministry. Ezekiel is summoned to prophesy to the Israelites, who are “[h]ard of face and obstinate of heart” (Ezekiel 2:4). Saint Paul recounts how he has been given a “thorn in the flesh” (2 Corinthians 12:7). The Lord Jesus is unable to perform many signs in his native place. The Gospel tells us that “[he] was amazed at their lack of faith” (Mark 6:6). We too sometimes encounter obstacles as we travel along the journey of faith. So often we experience weakness on this journey. Let the words of the Lord to Saint Paul encourage us today: “My grace is sufficient for you, for power is made perfect in weakness” (2 Corinthians 12:9).

TODAY’S READINGS

First Reading — They shall know that a prophet has been among them (Ezekiel 2:2-5). Psalm — Our eyes are fixed on the Lord, pleading for his mercy (Psalm 123). Second Reading — I am content with weaknesses and hardships for the sake of Christ (2 Corinthians 12:7-10). Gospel — The people said: “Where did this man get all this? Is he not the carpenter, the son of Mary?”(Mark 6:1-6).

Pope Francis’ July Intention

That priests, who experience fatigue and loneliness in their pastoral work, may find help and comfort in their intimacy with the Lord and in their friendship with their brother priests, families and people they serve.

Training is available for Ministers of Holy Com-munion who would like to serve in a Hospital, Nursing Home or with those on Hospice. Tuesday, August 7, 2018 6:00 PM – 7:30 PM St. Charles Borromeo Parish Destrehan, LA
