“Come to me, all you who are weary and carrying heavy loads,
and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from
me, for I am meek and humble of heart; and you will find rest
for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden light.”
Matthew 11:28-30
Generosity is not a burden, but a liberating experience. It
liberates because the generous person is walking in the yoke
with Christ, sharing gifts, and challenges.
Have you remembered St. Joseph Church in your will?

Zec 9:9-10; Ps 145:1-2, 8-9, 10-11, 13-14;
Rom 8:9, 11-13; Mt 11:25-30
...you have hidden these things from the wise and the
learned [and] you have revealed them to little ones.
Matthew 11:25
The “wise and the learned” carry knowledge within them
that children do not have. Knowledge is essential, but it can
also keep the mind blocked from receiving what the spirit
needs for growth. Too much emphasis on knowledge leads
to imbalanced self-importance and an unwillingness to
listen and learn from others. No wonder Jesus refers to
children as the ones who discover the hidden things of the
heart. I’ve observed children with their parents in
supermarkets. The parent is intent on one thing only–
securing what’s on the shopping list. In the meantime, the
child reaches out to touch colors on packages, picks up
fruit, smells it, and pokes around longingly in the candy
rack. In our faith life, we might consider being more like a
child in a supermarket, exploring and examining what we
believe. Greater maturity is always available in order to
fully live the tenets of our beautiful Christianity.

W.O.W. HIGH SCHOOL YOUTH ACTIVITIES
CLI or Christian Leadership Institute— July 10-14, includes a series of training workshops, prayer, daily mass,
group activities and team building to enhance leadership potential, while fostering personal and spiritual growth. It
is an attempt to show that the youth are not the “church of the future”, but a gifted, motivated and essential part
of the Body of Christ today. The rich tradition and history behind CLI has a proven track record of empowering
young people. The skills that are learned are ones that participants will not only use in their faith life, but in their
daily living. The overall goal is to enhance the leadership potential of each individual and heighten the awareness of
participants’ Christian leadership responsibilities. It’s also a way to meet new friends and have a lot of fun! Appli-
cants must complete an application and have a letter of recommendation from their Youth Minister. Scholarship
money is available. Applicants must have completed their freshman year of high school. Contact Ellen at the Parish
Office 502-348-3126
