Stewardship: Christian stewardship comes right from the very heart of what it means to be a Christian. Christian stewardship begins with the love at the core of Christ’s message. Because of His love for us, God entrusts us with the priceless gift of life - along with our talents, abilities and all our possessions and earthly resources. Therefore we don’t own what we perceive to be our holdings. God is their rightful owner, and we, who are their recipients, are managers obliged - not by law but by gratitude and our Christian faith - to use them in accordance with God’s plan.

Act of Spiritual Communion

My Jesus, I believe that You are in the Blessed Sacrament. I love You above all things, and I long for You in my soul. Since I cannot now receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. As though You have already come, I embrace You and unite myself entirely to You; never permit me to be separated from You. Amen

A SURE WAY TO A HAPPY DAY Happiness is something we create in our mind. It’s not some-

thing you search for and seldom find. It’s just waking up and beginning the day by counting our

blessings and kneeling to pray. It’s giving up thoughts that breed discontent and accepting

what comes as a “gift” - heaven sent. It’s giving up wishing for things we have not and making the

best of whatever we’ve got. It’s knowing that life is determined for us, and pursuing our

tasks without fret, fume or fuss. For it’s by completing what God gives us to do, that we find

real contentment and happiness too!

Dear Lord… HELP ME TO OFFER…..

My Hand to one who needs friendship. My Heart to one who needs love.

My Understanding to one who needs a listener. My Thoughtfulness to one who needs to know that he is

remembered. My Gentleness to one buffeted by the circumstances of life.

My Companionship to one who is lonely. My Tranquility to one who is confused, uncertain, unsure.

My Comfort to one who is bereaved. My Kindness to all of your creatures. My Compassion to all living things.

Dear Lord, help me to let my light shine.

Let us remember in prayer

Roberto Bustamante, uncle of Randy Campanaro, Rosemarie Blake, Sr. Elaine Kolesnik, RSM.

Eternal rest grant unto them and let perpetual light shine upon them.

SCRIPTURE CORNER Do you want to spend time in prayer each day? A good way to

begin is to read or reread the daily Scripture readings. Prepare for Mass by taking a few moments to read the Scripture readings. Readings for the Week of July 12, 2020

Pray for our Seminarians

FOCUS ON THE GOOD When I was a child, my mother had a set of sculptures resem-

bling three human heads. One head had hands over the ears, one had hands over the eyes, and one had hands over the mouth. Of course, they depicted the phrase, “Hear no evil; see no evil; speak no evil.” I have seen these images repeated many times since then, usually as the monkey heads from a Japanese proverb, which would have probably seemed a little less creepy to me when I was a small child. Apparently, there is no consensus about the full meaning or certain origin of these three images nor the phrase. At the very least, it causes us to reflect on the need to avoid evil and look for the good in things.

As I have lived my life, I have come to believe there are more people who lives their lives in a contrary manner to these images. It is not that they seek evil, but it is as if they “see no good, hear no good, and speak no good.” Gossiping is the way they pass the time, and they always seem to find the negative in people and situ-ations. Being a good steward certainly means that we do not seek evil, but more than that, it means that we see the abundance of good things all around us. These gifts of God are big and little, profound and ordinary. By seeing the world in this way, we begin to change our personalities and our overall disposition. We always need to follow a new proverb: see all the good, hear all the good, and speak about the good. Amen. - Tracy Earl Welliver, MTS ©LPi
