LEAP OF FAITHBy Natalie McClure

Most of us are familiar with the term to take a leap of faith, and we often offer it as adviceto others, but when it comes to taking that leap ourselves, its not always as easy as 1, 2, 3...GO!

When you think about it, why does the phrase contain the word leap instead of the word step?

The action of leaping requires more effort, more energy expended and a sudden transfer of weight

that will move you from one location (your past state) to another desired location (your future state).

Similar to the hemorrhaging woman who took a risk pushing her way through the crowd to

touch Jesus garment, God calls us at times to make leaps of faith. There will be points in our faith

journey when He may expect us to take more than a step, but luckily we dont have to leap out into thin air uncertain of wha

is ahead. We leap, knowing that we will land into His loving arms.

Just recently God has asked my husband Steven and I to take a leap trusting in a new

plan He has for our future. God has called Steven and I back to our alma mater, theUniversity of Notre Dame in South Bend, Indiana through an amazing job offer for Steven.

Gods providence was really at work with this opportunity and so we will make South Bend

our new home, come August.

For someone who likes to plan ahead and prepare for the future, this is quite a leap,

but I pray that like the woman in the Gospel, I may keep my eyes on Jesus and continue to reach out for Him during this

transition. I want to thank the community of St. Patrick for supporting Steven and me through our engagement and life as

newlyweds, and for helping me grow personally in my faith and trust in the Lord in ways that have helped me have the

courage to take this leap into His arms.

FORMING CONSCIENCES FOR FAITHFUL CITIZENSHIP

In light of our call to be faithful citizens, we will explore excerpts from Forming

Consciences for Faithful Citizenship as an on-going series through October.

This weeks reading: Inserted flyer for The Challenge of Forming Consciences for Faithful

Citizenship.

By our baptism, Catholics are committed to following Jesus Christ and to be salt for the earth, light for the

nations. As the Catechism of the Catholic Church reminds us, It is necessary that all participate, according to his position and

role, in promoting the common good. This is inherent in the dignity of the human person...as far as possible citizens should take a

active part in public life (nos. 19131915).

InForming Consciences for Faithful Citizenship, the USCCB reminds us that, Responsible citizenship is a virtue, and

participation in political life is a moral obligation. If you have moved or turned 18 since the last election, you must register to be

eligible to vote in the upcoming primary and general elections. Members of the Social Justice Core Team will be available after

Masses on the weekends of July 14/15 and July 21/22 with voter registration materials. Forms will also be available in the Narthe

beginning July 1 through October.

Senior Ministry

While you celebrate Americas independence

at a gathering of friends and family this week

around the pool or at the park, beach or

mountains, please take a moment to think of

those families that you have helped to attain

their own independence. Many of the families

we have built Habitat homes for have been

living with relatives where multiple families

live in a one or two bedroom apartment or in

substandard housing. Your generouscontributions of time and funds have given

these families a chance to have their own

home, where their children may share manysafe July 4 celebrations. Your efforts truly

make a difference in the lives of many! Thank

you all so very much!

Please email us at [email protected] orcall Brian at 602-617-7994 for opportunities t

build or provide lunch this fall.
