In trust of God’s infinite goodness, we pray to lift up our sick parishioners, family & friends, and those in need of healing of the body and soul. Almighty Father, hear out prayers for:
Jan Almay, Sharon Anderson-Kunz, Anthony Andreozzi, Shaun Banagan, Pat Borri, Pat Botelho, Chris Cetti, Wally Dondero, Bill Dunphy, Judy DuPont, Leilani Fitzgerald, Patti Fox, Marcy French, Vienna Golsong, Doug Hagans, Conor Hagg, George Hague, Sharon Harrington, Lynn Hauf, Alex Henderson, Jonathan Hunt, Fred & Pat Ingram, Ed Jackson, Robert Johnson, Kimberly Kaufman, Devonne Keevers, June Kertes, Debbie Robrecht, Mary Largent, Georgia Latimer, Shirley Lauwers, Sue McLeod, Nilda Medina, Michael Mejia, Lucille Moessinger, Gene Moore, Karla Moore, Irene Pericic, David Qualls, Randy Qualls, Alex Quiroz, Maryanne Redmond, Bridget Ruiz, Amy Fleege Schaffner, Vic Senacal, Chris Shores, Mark Skvarla, Gracie Rose Smith, Laura Smith, Greg Spitz, Wanda Southern, Sarah Thompson, Dawn Wilson, Nic Windeshausen, Brenda Winn, Elizabeth & Grecielia Zuranich.
How do we react to challenge? When our beliefs are questioned do we entrench our-selves in what we believe or do we take time assess the solidity of the ground on which those beliefs are based? What if that challenge were to change the way we behave?
There is an interesting paradox developing in America, while we are an increasingly re-ligious people we are at the same time seeing a decrease in morality.
In his 1999 book “Against the Night,” Charles Coulson addressed this paradox.. “According to sociologist Robert Bellah, 81 percent of the American people also say they agree that 'an individual should arrive at his or her own religious belief independent of any church or syna-gogue.' Thus the key to the paradox is the fact that those who claim to be Christians are arriving at faith on their own terms -- terms that make no demands on behavior. A woman named Sheila, inter-viewed for Bellah's Habits of the Heart, embodies this attitude. "I believe in God," she said. "I can't remember the last time I went to church. But my faith has carried me a long way. It's 'Sheila-ism.' Just my own little voice." How many of are guilty of “Sheila-ism?” God's love is infinite and universal. He accepts all of us just as we are. But He accepts us on His terms, not ours.
From the beginning there were those who could not accept the offering of love and family God ex-tends to His people. Many will follow, but only up to the point where they are challenged. To put it another way, people will happily follow God as long as no demands are made on their behavior.
Joshua challenged the Israelites to choose whom they will serve. Jesus challenged His followers with his teaching regarding the Eucharist. In both cases there were those who turned away.
We see this even today. When people are challenged they frequently turn away because they cannot accept what is being taught. The great tragedy of this is that they often do not ask for a fuller teaching they simply make assumptions and walk away.
The letter of Paul to the Ephesians is an example of the challenges that confront us in scripture. Many take a very narrow view of this passage to the detriment of our dignity as Children of God. But the entire passage referring to submission must be read in the context of the very first line, “Be subordi-nate to one another out of reverence for Christ.” Submission is not a right demanded by one person from another, it is a blessing and a privilege of faith, given freely out of love for God.
Marriage and family is undergoing a crisis today. Let us pray for the strength and enlightenment to defend the Christian family as a source of blessings for the whole world. Let us make Joshua’s words a reality in our lives,
“As for me and my household, we will serve the LORD.” Pax Vobiscum

August
In celebrating this month of Our Lady’s final journey to God in her glorious Assumption, let us ask her motherly
intercession to draw souls to the Sacred Heart of her Son. The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) is a
journey too — of conversion to God and what he intends for us. RCIA is the process by which persons who were never baptized, or were baptized in another Christian
tradition, become members of the Church, a people on pilgrimage to our Heavenly Father. Please contact Sidney at 482.8883.

Bibles & Catechisms
Has someone in your life shared his/her love of Scripture with you? Would you like to share that love and gift with another?
Thanks to the generosity of our parishioners, Bibles and Catechisms are given to every adult and child in our RCIA process as a
gift from our parish community.
Our parish RCIA process is in need of donations to give to our adults and children inquiring to be ‘one’ with us.
The cost is $25.
Please make checks payable to our parish and indicate at the bottom that it is for an RCIA Bible.
