TODAY’S READINGS First Reading —As a mother comforts her child, so will I comfort you (Isaiah 66:10-14c). Psalm — Let all the earth cry out to God with joy (Psalm 66). Second Reading — May I never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ (Galatians 6:14-18). Gospel — Jesus sends out the seventy-two (Luke 10:1-12, 17-20 [1-9]). GOD’S PROVIDENCE Today’s readings celebrate God’s providence. No matter how wonderful (or heartbreaking) our relation-ships are, God always provides for us. No one cares for us the way God does. Isaiah delights us with a deeply intimate image of God caring for us “as a mother comforts her child.” The prophet describes us not as the usual “children of God,” but as “babies.” We should not resist this image, but rejoice in it. Trusting in God’s care, we can all let down our guard and rest like infants in the lap of our mother. Saint Paul’s trust in God allows him to be at peace like this. He boldly declares that no one can “make troubles” for him, because he has given himself complete-ly to Jesus. And when Jesus sends his disciples out to preach and heal, he challenges them not to provide for themselves, but to let faith be their guide.

Funeral Mass Arrangements Upon the death of a loved one, a family member should contact the parish office as soon as possible (815-723-3291). You will be contacted by our bereavement coordinator, Anna Siwiec-Sitkowska, who will assist the family in planning the funeral liturgy for the deceased.

If it is too difficult for you to walk to the front of the church to receive Communion, please know that at each Mass an Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion comes to the back of the church to distribute Communion. If you would like to have the Extraordinary Minister give you communion in the back of church, please let an usher know before Mass begins. At Communion time, when you see the Extraordinary Minister come to the back, please raise your hand so that they can see you and give you Holy Communion.

PRAY FOR OUR MILITARY “Lord, hold our troops in your loving hands. Protect

them as they protect us. Bless them and their families for the selfless acts they perform for us in our time of need. And give us peace. We ask this in the name of

Jesus, our Lord and Savior. Amen.”

Mężczyźni Świętego Józefa Kim są Mężczyźni Świętego Józefa? W dzisiejszych czasach istnieje wiele przeszkód na drodze wiary, ale Mężczyzna Świętego Józefa to człowiek, który szuka Pana w swoim życiu: (Jer 29,13) “Będziecie Mnie szukać i znajdziecie Mnie, kiedy będziecie Mnie szukać z całego serca”. Nasz Pan Jezus Chrystus przyszedł, aby pokazać nam Miłość i my odkrywamy naszą rolę jako mężczyźni, którzy dostrzegają potrzeby inne niż poszukiwanie mocy i przywilejów (Łk 22,25). Mężczyźni Świętego Józefa to mężczyźni którzy "wspierają się na-wzajem i wzajemnie się budują" (1Tes 5,11) i trwają w Bogu(Jan 15). W rezultacie Mężczyzna Świętego Józefa jest spełniony przez odnajdywanie radości życia bożego w celach, jakie odkrywa dla swojego życia (Kol. 1,9-12). Mężczyźni Świętego Józefa to katolicka sieć mężczyzn. Spotkanie Grupy w naszej parafii odbędzie się w pierwszy czwartek miesiaca, o 7:00 pm. Serdecznie zapraszamy.

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION

It’s high summer now, school is out, the pace of work slows, and some people drift away. There are visitors in the churches every summer, and familiar faces are “among the missing.” Some find the summer’s call more appealing than the summons of the church bells. Many, however, would not dream of missing a Sunday, and so they make their way to Mass in unfamiliar places, watching the locals for clues as to when to sit or stand, where the Communion stations are. In answering the call, they keep the “sabbatical” rhythm of the Christian life: every seventh day, the Body of Christ assembles for worship. For centuries, there was no obligation to Sunday Mass in the sense of a written law, but Christians have always yearned to be together on Sunday. In the city of Abitina, during a persecution by the Emperor Diocletian, a group of Christians were urged to stop worshiping together on Sundays. They responded, “Then take our lives, for without the Sunday we cannot live.” By a curious coincidence, the appointed readings today center us on thoughts of peace. On our Independence Day, the experience of worship situated us in community, and evoked a commitment from us to be advocates of peace in all aspects of our society’s life.
