DE-LITE-SIDE:

As a senior citizen was driving down the freeway, his

car phone rang. Answering, he heard his wife's voice

urgently warning him, "Herman, I just heard on the

news that there's a car going the wrong way on High-

way 401. Please be careful!"

“O darling," said Herman, "It's not just one car. It's

hundreds of them!"

Word & Wisdom

"Lord Jesus, help my unbelief! Increase my faith and trust in Your saving power. Give me confidence and perseverance, especially in prayer. And help me to bring Your healing love and truth to those I meet".

GOSPEL REFLECTION Matthew 17: 14-23 "Nothing will be impossible to you"

What kind of faith does the Lord expect of us, especially when we meet set-backs and trials? Inevitably there are times when each of us disappoint oth-ers or disappoint ourselves when we suffer some kind of set- back or fail-ure. In this gospel incident the disciples of Jesus fail to heal an epileptic boy. Jesus' response seems stern; but it is really tempered with love and compassion. We see at once Jesus' dismay with the disciples' lack of faith and his concern to meet the need of this troubled boy and his father. With one word of command Jesus rebukes the evil spirit that has caused this boy's affliction and tells the spirit to "never enter him again". Jesus tells his disciples that they can "remove mountains" if they have faith in God. The expression to "remove mountains" was a common Jewish phrase for removing dif-ficulties. A wise teacher who could solve difficulties was called a "mountain remover". If we pray with expectant faith God will give us the means to overcome difficulties and obsta-cles. When you meet trials and disappointments how do you respond? With faith and trust in Jesus?

FEAST OF THE DORMITION OF THE MOTHER OF GOD. Feast Day Liturgy & Blessing of flowers will be as follows:

St. Anne Parish - Tuesday, August 15 at 10:00 am. St. Michael Parish - Tuesday, August 15th at 7:00 pm.

The Feast of the Dormition or Falling-asleep of the Theotokos is celebrated on the fifteenth of August, preceded by a two-week fast. This feast, which is also sometimes called the Assumption, commemorates the death, resurrection and

glorification of Christ’s mother. It proclaims that Mary has been “assumed” by God into the heavenly kingdom of Christ in the fullness of her spiritual and bodily existence. We do not know the time or place of Mary’s death. There are two traditions—one she died in Jerusalem; the second she died in Ephesus. Dormition means “passage through death” or “the falling asleep. The Feast of the Dormition is a second Pascha, a passage from death to life, because we believe that Mary , like her Son, has passed through death and like Him she has risen body and soul. According to an old custom, flowers and medicinal herbs are blessed after the Divine Liturgy on the Feast of Dormition. According to traditional belief, after Mary’s assumption, her tomb was filled with a “heavenly fragrance” and flowers. The herbs, used as natural medicine, are blessed in commemoration of the numerous healing and extraordinary graces bestowed on the pilgrims at Mary’s tomb.

BURSARIES AVAILABLE Canon Luhovy Assembly of the Knights of Columbus has created an

Education Foundation. The purpose of the Foundation is to provide financial assistance to Ukrainian Catholic
