Jesus sent out 72 of his followers to spread the good news
about God. They were not to bring anything with them - no
food, no extra clothes or shoes, not even money to spend.
They were to visit strangers and completely depend on God
to give them what they needed. That took a lot of faith!
Prayer
Dear God, help me to remember that you
will give me what I need.
Mission for the Week
Make a card for one of your neighbors,
and tell that person, "Jesus loves you!"
Live The Liturgy -
Inspiration For The Week Jesus tells his disciples, "I am sending you
like lambs among wolves." Getting people to
see the truth about who they are is not always
easy or welcomed. Some people want to believe that they
have life under control and they do not need any further
advice, direction, or challenge from others. Being heralds
of the Gospel means doing precisely that. We come with a
message that is not always welcome or desired by our sis-
ters and brothers. Yet, it is desperately needed. People need
to be reminded of who they are, who God is, and the neces-
sity of repentance for entering the Kingdom of God. It is
not about what we want but what God wants. We are called
to be peacemakers and laborers for justice and mercy. Are
you willing to bring this challenging message to those who
may be indifferent or even hostile to hearing it?
A Family Perspective Family Life Education
Just like the seventy two disciples sent out by
Jesus in today’s Gospel, families are expected to be mission-
aries. By our lives, words and life style we proclaim peace,
commitment, fidelity and respect to a culture caught up with
violence and gratification.
Rectory Summer Hours The Rectory will be closed each Friday during
summer. Noon Mass will be celebrated in the
Chapel as usual. Office hours are:
Monday-Thursday 9:00am-4:30pm.
14th Sunday In Ordinary Time This Sunday, Jesus reminds us that "the harvest is abundant but the laborers are few." As Catholic disciples, we
are the laborers that the Master is sending. All around us are opportunities to share the love and mercy of Jesus
Christ - our homes, our workplaces, our neighborhoods, even our faith communities! Lest we feel unequipped
for the task, Jesus gives us some advice.
"Carry no money bag, no sack, no sandals." We might not have a theology degree or training in public speaking, but that doesn't
mean we can't share the Gospel. The power of God is at work in simplicity. The disciples went forth with nothing as a reminder to
trust in the Providence of God. Say a little prayer that God will speak through you and has a need for your gifts, just as you are.
"Do not move about from one house to another." So much of the life of Jesus was about relationships. He modeled this attitude by
journeying with his disciples. Here he makes the same recommendation to them, to remain with the same family for their entire
stay in the town. Break bread with others. Invite them to coffee or a game night in your home. Sharing your faith isn't just about
saying the right thing, but loving well over time.
"The dust of your town that clings to our feet, even that we shake off." Sometimes we want to help someone, but for whatever rea-
son, they don't receive it well. Sometimes people aren't interested in our efforts to invite them deeper into faith. When rejection
happens, don't carry it with you. Don't let it over-burden your heart. Rejoice that you share in the mission of Christ, and keep on
loving the next person he places in your path!

A Summer Blessing For Our Children May our loving God watch over you
and keep alive in your heart
all that you have learned this year.
Keep your mind on God.
Remember to pray often and to celebrate your faith,
at home with your family,
and at Mass with your faith family.
Keep your faith in God. Let all the joys of summer
remind you of God’s goodness.
Never forget that God is always with you,
no matter what. May the God of all creation,
who comes to us in Jesus,
and lives among us in the Holy Spirit,
keep you safe, happy and
holy this summer and always.
Amen.

Requested by The Family
Vocation Blurbs “The harvest is abundant but the laborers are
few; so ask the master of the harvest to send
out laborers for his harvest.” Jesus’ invitation
has become one of our most well known prayers for religious
vocations. As his disciples, we must heed this command and
make our prayers known to God to provide an increase in
these generous souls. Does your family take time together to
pray for more vocations to serve Jesus and his Church? Have
you noticed someone who might have a vocation to serve
alongside others laboring in the harvest? Encouraging and
praying for him or her is one of the most generous things you
can do for the Church! For help in discerning God’s call, visit
www.vocations-syracuse.org or call 315-470-1468.
Due to early transmit, collections for June 29th & 30th
will be posted next week.
