CALLED BY GOD

Today’s scriptures invite us to listen to two calls.

The first is the call issued by the LORD to the prophet

Amos, the “shepherd and a dresser of syca-

mores” (Amos 7:14). The second is the call the Lord

Jesus issued to the Twelve, whom he sent out “two by

two” (Mark 6:7). These faithful people responded to the

call, prophesying and preaching to the people to whom

they had been sent. Each of us received a call when we

were baptized. The second reading invites us to ponder

that call as we are reminded that we are chosen in

Christ and that, in love, God “destined us for adop-

tion” (Ephesians 1:5). As adopted daughters and sons of

God we are called to bring the presence of Christ into

our marriages, families, schools, and places of work. Let

us be inspired today to say yes to the call we hear once

again through God’s living word.

HUMAN CONCERNS COMMISSION

Dear Lord,

Hold our troops in your loving

hands. Protect them as they

protect us. Bless them and their

families for the selfless acts they

perform for us in our time of need.

Remember Those

Far From Home

LCpl. Elijah Burgins

Po3. John Castro

Pvt. Peter Eck

Lt. Eric Infante

Sgt. Scott Majewski

Afc. Jeremy McNeel

Pfc. Joseph Pusateri

Theodore Soupart

Let us remember and pray for

those who are always in our hearts.

If you have loved ones who are

currently serving in the Armed

Forces, please call the rectory

at 847-437-6208 and we will add

their names to our bulletin list.

When your loved one has

returned home, please let us

know so we can remove their

name from the list. Thank you.

End Domestic Violence NOW!

Domestic Violence Hotline

1-800-799-SAFE

Domestic Violence incidents rise during

difficult financial times. If you see a

family in trouble, please call the hotline.

MY BROTHER’S KEEPER MINISTRY

Seniors, do you need a ride to the doctor or grocery store? Please give us at

least 3 days notice. This is a free service to all our senior pa-

rishioners. We are not able to drive for surgery or if anesthesia

is involved. Call Linda at 847-439-5372.

St.Vincent de Paul is an emergency source for food and short-term financial

help for parishioners and those living within the parish boundaries. Please

call 847-437-6208. Requests will be handled with care and confidentiality.

In the Gospel today we see how Jesus sent his Apostles out two

by two. From the beginning of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul,

members visit in pairs “two by two”, those who are poor and

needy in their homes. It is there, in the family setting, that Vin-

centians listen, offer humble advice, and render assistance.

Have you considered answering the call to help

serve the poor by joining the Society of St. Vincent

de Paul?

Prayer for Immigrant Children

Loving Father,

in your infinite compassion, we seek your divine protection for refugee children

who are often alone and afraid. Provide solace to those who have been witnesses

to violence and destruction, who have lost parents, family, friends, home, and all

they cherish due to war or persecution.

Comfort them in their sorrow, and bring help in their time of need. Show mercy

to unaccompanied migrant children, too, Lord. Reunite them with their families

and loved ones. Guide those children who are strangers in a foreign land to a

place of peace and safety. Show us how we might reach out to these precious and

vulnerable children.

Open our hearts to migrant and refugee children in need, so that we might see in

them your own migrant Son. Give us courage to stand up in their defense against

those who would do them harm. For this we pray through our Lord Jesus Christ,

who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, forever

and ever.

Interested in Becoming a Catholic Christian?

Do you know anyone who has not completed their Sacraments of Initiation (Confirmation and Holy

Communion / Eucharist) and would like to learn more about coming into full communion with the

Catholic Church? Or do you know anyone who is interested in being baptized as a teen or adult?

Maybe this is you! If you know anyone who wishes to have more information about becoming a

Catholic Christian believer, please ask them to contact

Lisa Mersereau at lisa@stceciliamtprospect.org

...the teens and Kathy who are heading to ND Vision at Uni-

leadership conference ignites their hearts and strengthens

their faith. May they continue to energize our parish after

their safe return. Thank you!

A GREAT BIG THANK YOU

From the rummage sale chairpersons

Our rummage sale had another good year!

$4,176.30

was made which was up a little from last year’s amount.

I would like to thank everyone for their endless help.

Thank you also for all the donations that came in. They

were deeply appreciated. Our $3 admission Friday pre-

sale was a great success again. We had a steady flow of

people Saturday and for the bag sale. With some ups

and downs happening, we managed to pull through.

THANK YOU EVERYBODY.

EDITOR’S NOTE: Thanks, also, to Pat Kretch and Bonnie for all of

their work and leadership on this annual parish event.
