PRIEST CARE

FUND �

SPECIAL COLLECTION�

The patron saint of priests,

Saint John Vianney, once

wrote “the priesthood is the

love of the heart of Jesus.”

A priest’s love also extends

to the Catholic faithful as

they lead parishes, teach

and preach the Gospel and

offer the Sacraments.�

As faithful Catholics we have an opportunity to return to

them, in love, a sense of security in their re#rement years by

making a gi' to the Priest Care Fund. The Priest Care Fund

special collec#on provides funds for medical and long�term

care over and above what is covered by our priests’ insurance

and other resources.�

In 2018, more than $214,000 was collected to offset medical

expenses for clergy in the Diocese of Fort Worth. Please

respond in love for their years of generous service by dona#ng

to the Priest Care Fund. There are several ways to contribute

to this special collec#on. In addi#on to the Sunday collec#on

during weekend Masses on Aug. 3�4, dona#ons can also be

made online at h5ps://bit.ly/PriestCare or text PRIESTS to

91999. Thank you for caring for those who care for us.�

Next week, we will take up a collec#on for the Priest Care

Fund. Your support of this collec#on pays for our priests’

medical and long�term care expenses that are not covered by

insurance. “Care for Those Who Care for Us” by generously

contribu#ng to the Priest Care Fund Care on August 3�4. �

"Extraordinary Ministers

of Holy Communion"

...is the formal title of laypeople who distribute

the Eucharist during Mass.

in this ministry? Prayerfully consider serving in

this role at Mass. Your rewards will be tenfold

as you present the Precious Body and Blood to Our Lady Queen of

Peace congregation. Contact Ray Hanold 940-704-1838

SEVENTEENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME

940-696-1253

Everyone is invited to pray �

the LITURGY OF THE HOURS

led by Deacon Jim Bindel �

(Shorter Christian Prayer Book provided)

TUESDAY MORNINGs AT 8AM

IN THE Holy family chapel

������������� ��������������� ��������� ��������� ����

In the Roman Catholic Church priests are required by cannon law

to pray the entire Liturgy of the Hours each day while deacons are

required to pray the morning and evening hours. The practice

among religious communities varies according to their rules and

constitutions. The Second Vatican Council also exhorted the

Christian laity to take up the practice, and as a result, many lay

people have begun reciting portions of the Liturgy of the Hours.

5 Reasons the Laity should Pray the Liturgy of the Hours:

1. The Church Encourages it! In the Second Vatican Council document

Sacrosanctum Concilium, the Church declared, "the laity...are

encouraged to recite the divine office either with priests, or among

themselves, or even individually" (IV.100). The Catechism states, "the

Liturgy of the Hours 'is truly the voice of the Bride herself addressed

to her Bridegroom. It is the very prayer which Christ Himself

together with His Body addresses the Father" (CCC1174)

2. It Provides a Foundation for Your Prayer. One of the common

stumbling blocks to cultivating a prayer life is the absence of a

routine. The Liturgy of the Hours is perfect, because it provides you

with a prayer schedule for the day. Morning and Evening prayer offer

you a consistent means of sanctifying your day, by praising God in the

morning and thanking Him in the evening.

3. It Immerses Your Prayer in Scripture. St. Jerome once said,

"Ignorance of the Scriptures, is ignorance of Christ." In the

Scriptures we encounter Jesus Christ who is the Word made flesh.

The whole of the Christian life is oriented towards an encounter with

Jesus and union with Him. The Liturgy of the Hours is saturated in

Scripture.

4. It Follows the Liturgical Year. There are many celebrations

throughout the Liturgical Year and the Liturgy of the Hours immerses

you in all them. Each of the seasons of the Church focuses

intentionally on specific moments in the life of Christ and salvation

history.

5. It's Great for Travel. Liturgy of the Hours will hold your prayer life

together. When traveling there is the risk of your prayer routine to

get thrown out the window and replaced by spontaneity and chaos.

Prayer becomes an after thought. The Liturgy of the Hours will keep

your prayer life together during joyfully uprooting times and will

provide tranquility even in a busy setting.

JULY 28, 2019

Are you guilty of spiritual stockpiling?

Spiritual stockpiling isn't an endless

rotation of rosaries and novenas. It's

accumulating emotional "goods" to meet

your needs. Perhaps it's a collection of

material objects you treasure. Maybe it's

a preoccupation with money. It could

also be relationships, making sure

there's always enough friends and connections to never really

feel alone. It's our tendency to let things add up so that we won't

quite need God to fulfill our inner life. Yet in this Sunday's Gospel,

we have that inescapable petition from the Our Father. "Give us

each day our daily bread."

This life isn't an immediate arrival. And as much as we might try

to shore up possessions and pleasures, we know the journey is

unpredictable. Give us this day our daily bread implies enough for

the next set of steps, but not enough to stockpile. So here's the

big question: Do we trust God to give us what we need? After all,

"What father among you would hand his son a snake when he

asks for a fish?... how much more will the Father in heaven give

the Holy Spirit to those who ask him?" At the Last Supper, Jesus

said he would never leave us orphaned. God will not abandon us.

And surely He wouldn't ask us to pray for what He does not

intend to give.

Of course, sometimes our prayers for daily help can seem to go

unanswered. Today's Gospel has advice for that, too. "I tell you...

he will give up to him whatever he needs because of his

persistence." Our spiritual stockpiling increases our self-reliance

and decreases our openness to God's possibilities. Be persistent

in your pursuit of God! Trust that He will keep His promises to

provide for us, today and always.

We do not need to use a lot of words in order to pray

well. Keeping things simple often works best, and it ap-

pears to be the form of prayer most preferred by Jesus.

The simplicity of the Lord's Prayer, the Our Father, gets

quickly to the heart of all of our important relationships

in life and sets us straight. Praying simply provides prop-

er focus and helps us develop greater trust in God's

providential care. We never know how each day will un-

fold and cannot control a good measure of what hap-

pens to us. What we can control is the disposition we

bring to life and how much we trust and hope in God's

desire to make all things new and right. Pray simply and

listen deeply. Our Father is calling.

TEACH US TO GIVE

AND NOT TO COUNT THE COST.

(St. Ignatius of Loyola—Feast Day is July 31)
