FROM MY HOUSE
TO YOURS
Dear Parishioners,
As we come to the close of June, I would like to offi-cially congratulate all those young parishioners of our parish
who have graduated this month. As they mark a milestone in their life and journey forward; may they be assured of our
prayers for them.
Heavenly Father, As they look toward the future
bright hope conducts this prayer,
for we know the plans You have for them
were wrought with divine care.
Holy Spirit, lead them. Let them run at Your command,
yet be still and know that You are God
when trouble is close at hand. Your Word will be a lamp for them,
a guide to light their way, a solid place to set their feet,
a compass when they stray.
May they live their life to praise You, not for fortune, nor for fame,
may everything they say and do
bring glory to Your name. May their eyes stay fixed upon You
as they seek the way that's pure, tasting Your love and goodness
sleeping and rising secure.
Planted by Your living streams they will delight in all Your ways,
hidden by Your sheltering wings with new mercies for each day.
Even in a dangerous land
when storms threaten to destroy, at the cross they will stand upon the Rock
their Strength, Hope, and Joy.
Dear Lord, show them Your favor, at all times keep them blessed,
may Your face ever shine upon them, with peace and perfect rest.
Amen.
Congratulations Graduates!
God Love Ya!
Fr. Reilly

Thirteenth Sunday of Ordinary Time June 26, 2016
A word from
Pope Francis Even in the midst of diffi-
culties God acts and he
surprises us....But he asks
us to let ourselves be sur-
prised by his love, to accept
his surprises. Let us trust God! Cut off from
him, the wine of joy, the wine of hope, runs
out. If we draw near to him, if we stay with
him, what seems to be cold water, difficulty,
sin, is changed into the new wine of friend-
ship with him....
If we walk in hope, allowing ourselves to be
surprised by the new wine which Jesus offers
us, we have joy in our hearts and we cannot
fail to be witnesses of this joy....If we are
truly in love with Christ and if we sense how
much he loves us, our heart will ‘light up’
with a joy that spreads to everyone around
us.
— Homily in Basilica of the Shrine of Our Lady of the Conception of Apare-
cida; July 24, 2013
· How do I use my
freedom?
· Does my yes mean
yes, and my no
mean no?
Lord, by your cross and
resurrection you set us free.
Liberate me from the prison
of selfishness and empower
me to lovingly serve my
brothers and sisters. Faithful Meditations for Every Day in Ordinary Time, Rev.
Warren J. Savage and Mary Ann McSweeny
Hearing No, Saying Yes” By Janel Esker
When our eight-month-old daughter began to crawl,
it quickly became evident that we needed to teach her
the meaning of the word no. She was drawn to all the
things she shouldn’t touch—computers, electrical out-
lets, hot liquids. However, in response to our firm
“No!,” she smiled and giggled. Not exactly what we
were hoping for. It took a while for her to learn that
she had some restrictions on her newfound freedom.
I recalled my daughter’s amused reaction to “No!”
when I read St. Paul’s warning against “biting and
devouring one another”—the unethical behavior
among the Galatian community—gossip, backbiting,
cheating. Clearly God had said “no” to these behav-
iors long ago, but the Galatians continued to exhibit
them—kind of like laughing in God’s face.
Saint Paul reminds them that in Christ they do have
freedom, but it’s not unbridled. This freedom comes
with responsibilities—a commitment to love and
serve one another rather than treat each other immor-
ally and unethically.
Next week we celebrate our country’s gift of free-
dom. But the freedom we enjoy through Jesus is
deeper. It’s freedom from sin and death, and it isn’t
restriction-free. It comes with a full-time, whole-
hearted commitment to
work for the good of others with love. It’s less about
hearing no and more about saying “yes” to what God
asks of us in gratitude for such a great gift. †
“The freedom we enjoy through Jesus comes
with responsibilities.”
