HOME IS WHERE THE FAMILY IS
The idea, dream, and reality of family is so strong and durable that we use it to describe all that is best about human gatherings. We speak of the family of nations, of our church and parish families. The greatest compliment we can pay a friend or gracious host is to say that we feel at home with them, we feel part of the family. Families are the first crucibles in which love is tested and tempered. Jesus himself
was one of three people who lived in the shadow of each other. This family, like our own, did not always get it right, but they always tried to. These three amateurs were on holiday, and one of them got lost. Two were worried sick and took great measures to find the third, a boy after all, who was seeking the meaning of his
calling. He found his vocation--to do his Father’s work--but he also returned home with his parents.

Prayer For Priests O Jesus, I pray for your faithful and fervent priests,
for your unfaithful and tepid priests, for your priests laboring at home or abroad in
distant missions, for your tempted priests, for your lonely and
desolate priests, for your young priests, for your dying priests, for the souls of your priests
who have died. But above all, I recommend to you the priests
dearest to me: the priest who baptized me, those who absolved me from my sins,
those at whose Masses I assisted and who gave me your Body and Blood in Holy Communion;
those who taught and instructed me, all those to whom I am indebted in any other way.
O Jesus, keep them all close to your heart and bless them abundantly in time and in eternity.
St. John Vianney, patron saint of parish priests, pray for us now and forever. Amen

DID YOU KNOW? Human trafficking and
technology. Teenagers spend a lot of
time online, making them prime targets for human
traffickers. Using online ads that promise money and adventure in
exciting, glamorous cities, traffickers attract young women
and girls. Parents should be aware of the serious dangers
online, and monitor what their children’s online activity – sites they visit, social networks they
may belong to, and who they are connecting with online. For a copy
