We, the parish of Saints Mary and Mathias Catholic Church, WELCOME all to CELEBRATE, TEACH and LIVE the Mission of JESUS CHRIST Ss. Mary & Mathias Church 215 W. 8th St. Muscatine, IA 52761 From the Pastors Desk July 21th, 2019 As we continue our game plan message se- ries, this week we are looking at an image St. Paul gives us, the im- age of our lives as a race. I have to admit, I have never been much of a runner. But, don’t worry if, like me, you are not a naturally born runner. St. Paul doesn’t use this image in a lit- eral sense.

Just as a runner perfects their talent for running by spending many hours in training and practice, so too do we discover what God’s game plan for us is by practicing using the gifts God has given us. I encourage you to tame time this week to ask the Lord to reveal to you the unique gifts and talents he has blessed you with. Write them down. “I thank God for gifting me with…..(your unique tal- ent).” And then, pray for the grace and cour- age necessary to put these unique gifts to use for the building up of the Body of Christ, the Church.

Ss. Mary & Mathias Church 215 W. 8th St. Muscatine, IA 52761

From the Pastors Desk July 21th, 2019 As we continue our

game plan message se-

ries, this week we are

looking at an image St.

Paul gives us, the im-

age of our lives as a

race. I have to admit, I

have never been much of a runner. But, don’t

worry if, like me, you are not a naturally born

runner. St. Paul doesn’t use this image in a lit-

eral sense. Rather, he uses it to teach us an

important lesson.

If you have ever watched runners race up

Brady Street hill as part of the Bix 7, those

who are at the head of the pack make it look

so easy. The truth is, they have trained, prac-

ticed, and ran for miles in preparation for the

race that matters.

God gives each of us unique gifts and tal-

ents. Just as a runner perfects their talent for

running by spending many hours in training

and practice, so too do we discover what

God’s game plan for us is by practicing using

the gifts God has given us. I encourage you to

tame time this week to ask the Lord to reveal

to you the unique gifts and talents he has

blessed you with. Write them down. “I thank

God for gifting me with…..(your unique tal-

ent).” And then, pray for the grace and cour-

age necessary to put these unique gifts to use

for the building up of the Body of Christ, the

Church.

MISA DE SANACION

Jueves, 01 de Agosto Iglesia de San Patricio

en Iowa City Confeciones 6pm

Misa 7pm

Mientras que seguimos nuestra serie del mensaje del plan de juego, esta semana estamos viendo una imagen

que San Pablo nos da, la imagen de nuestras vidas como una carrera. Tengo que admitir, nunca he sido mucho de un corridor. Pero, no te preocupes si, como yo, no eres un corredor natural. San Pablo no usa esta imagen

en un sentido literal. Más bien, lo usa para enseñarnos una lección importante.

Si alguna vez has visto a los corredores correr por la calle Brady como parte del Bix 7, aquellos que están al frente de la carerra hacen que parezca tan fácil. La verdad es que han entrenado, practicado y corrido kilómet-

ros en preparación para la carrera que importa.

Dios nos da a cada uno de nosotros dones y talentos únicos. Así como un corredor perfecciona su talento para

correr pasando muchas horas entrenando y practicando, también descubrimos cuál es el plan de juego de Dios para nosotros practicando usando los dones que Dios nos ha dado. Los animo a domar el tiempo esta semana para pedir al Se-

ñor que revelarán los dones y talentos que él te ha bendecido. Escríbelos. "Doy gracias a Dios por regalarme... (tu talento úni-co)". Y luego, oren por la gracia y el valor necesarios
