PARISH SCHEDULE EVERYDAY STEWARDSHIP - RECOGNIZE GOD IN YOUR
ORDINARY MOMENTS As I get older, what really matters to me changes.
I remember being in high
school and having to wear certain brands and to look a certain
way. Now, many
days I simply wear what is clean! I used to collect certain
things that I no longer
seem to care about much now. I wanted certain things for my
children, and now
I am happy if they are happy, regardless of what happens. I have
changed
political stances a few times. I even follow different sports
teams today than I did
when I was younger. Time, circumstance, wisdom, and even
disillusionment all
play a part in my ever-changing attitude toward what really
matters in life.
All has changed except my faith. My faith is the one constant in
my life. It is the
most precious of all the gifts God has given to me. Life hasn't
been a constant
high, and there have been several low valleys along the way. It
has been my
faith that has seen me through all times, good and bad. If
anything has changed, it is that Jesus matters more today than he
did yesterday.

ST JOSEPH NEWS
Question: July 22 is the feast of
Mary Magdalene. I've heard a lot of
stories about her, but who was she
really?
Answer: Mary Magdalene has
been the subject of speculation
and scholarship over the last 2,000
years. Mary Magdalene makes her
first named appearance in Luke 8:2.
She is one of several women
following Jesus. Luke specifically
mentions that Mary had previously
been delivered from demonic
possession. Whatever her life looked
like before she met Jesus, it wasn't
good! Because of this association
with being a repentant sinner, Mary
Magdalene has been associated
with other similar stories in the
Gospel, such as the woman caught
in adultery or the woman who
bathes Jesus' feet with her tears.
Mary Magdalene shows up again
by name at the end of the Gospels,
when she stands with the Blessed
Virgin Mary at the foot of the Cross.
Mary is also present in the garden of
the resurrection. She is one of the
woman who goes to bring spices to
Jesus' tomb, where they find the
stone rolled away. Mary stays in the
garden weeping, believing his body
has been stolen. Jesus approaches
her and calls her by name, and she
becomes the first witness to the
resurrection! While many of the
details of Mary Magdalene's life
have been lost to time, she is an
example of powerful conversion,
deep faith, and intimate love for
Christ.
WHY DO WE DO THAT? - CATHOLIC LIFE EXPLAINED
