A Stewardship Thought …

“For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son…” JOHN 3:16

Is your love conditional? Is there a price others have

to pay to receive your love? Are you generous with

your time, money and possessions? If you give some-

one something, do you expect something in return? Do

you give your time freely or do you “fit it in” when it’s

convenient for you?

This Weekend’s Scripture First Reading: Exodus 34:4b‑6, 8‑9 The Lord appears to Moses on Mount Sinai and proclaims to him that he Lord is a “merciful God...slow to anger and rich in kindness and fidelity.”

Second Reading: 2 Corinthians 13:11‑13 Paul exhorts the Corinthians to live in peace and harmony, and for the first time, invokes the Blessed Trinity.

Gospel: John 3:16‑18 In this beautiful passage, Jesus tells Nicodemus that God loved his people so much that he “gave his only son.” Jesus reveals to Nicodemus that anyone who believes in him will not die but will enjoy life with him for all eternity. ©1999 Bon Venture Services, Inc.

A Fathers Day Prayer

God our Father, We give you thanks and praise for fathers young and old.

We pray for young fathers, newly embracing their vocation; May they find courage and perseverance to

balance work, family and faith in joy and sacrifice. We pray for our own Fathers around the world

whose children are lost or suffering; May they know that the God of compassion walks with them

in their sorrow. We pray for men who are not fathers but still mentor

and guide us with fatherly love and advice. We remember fathers, grandfathers, and great

grandfathers who are no longer with us but who live forever in our memory and nourish us with their love.

Amen

Each new client case is confi-dentially evaluated by members of our Client Service Team. In the name of Christ we are here to help, to serve, and to bring God’s love to those who are poor and suffering. Please put us to work.

Dear OLV Parishioners!

Thank you so much for the beautiful items you donated for our Mother's Day Baby Shower! Many new moms will benefit from your gen-erosity and kindness. It's such a joy to be able to provide them with the necessary items to care for their new babies. For many, these are the only gifts they will receive. Together, we are making a real difference in the lives of God's children!

Thank You from the OLV Respect Life Group!
