God’s Word for this Week

Reading I: 1 Kings 19:16, 19-21 Reading II: Galatians 5:1, 13-18 Gospel: Luke 9:51-62

Scripture Focus

Today’s Gospel spells out what it means to follow Jesus, to be his disciple. James and John, “sons of thunder,” angry at being rejected by the Samaritans, want to call down fire from heaven to consume Jesus’ enemies. Jesus says there is no room for getting even in the Christian way of life. There is to be no violence. Luke develops the theme of discipleship further using three examples. Jesus tells the one who offers to follow him “wherever he goes” of the hardships involved. His strange reply to the man who wants to go home first to bury his father underlines the urgency to get on with proclaiming the reign of God. And finally there is a singleness of purpose involved in being a follower of Jesus. There can be no looking back to what one has left behind.

Life Focus How do you react when someone criticizes you or is hostile to you?

When in your life have you been called to change direction (put your hand to a different “plow”) because your desire to be a follower of Jesus?

What does it mean to your everyday life to be a follower of Jesus?

What is your reaction to being called by Jesus?

Thirteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time

Summer is Here!!! and things are slowly winding down. The children are finally out of

school and many of us will be travelling and reconnecting with those who are special to us. Summer is a time of rest and relaxation and things slow down in the parish as well. This bulletin will be the last ‘full’ bulletin until September. Things slow down but don’t stop altogether, so next Sunday we begin distribution of a ‘mini’ bulletin during July and August.

Summer Office Hours: During the months of July and August the office will not be

manned on a full time basis. It will be open Tuesday to Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. This gives staff a chance to enjoy the lazy hazy days of summer too.

Inner City Home of Sudbury It’s almost that time of year again, when school will soon be

finished and families will be vacationing – that time of year that we all look forward to. However, those who are in financial need and crisis situations still need our help! We have had a very busy winter and I anticipate the same

will hold true for the summer months. Our shelves in the Food Bank are looking quite bare as donations have already slowed down this past month and we have been using any surplus food that we had from the winter food drives. At this time when the food supplies are so low, we have to purchase basic food items steadily, which is a tremendous drain on our financial resources (that also drop off during the summer months). Some of the items most needed at this time are: Macaroni & cheese, pork and beans, canned vegetables, canned corn, soups, canned meats & fish, potatoes, cereals, canned pasta sauce or canned tomatoes. Also in short supply, are toiletries such as hand soap, toothpaste, shampoo, razor blades and deodorant. Any help you can give is greatly appreciated and will go a long way to help someone in need. Food donations can be dropped off at 251 Elm St. Monday to Friday from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. or left in the grocery carts located at the entrances of the church. Thank you for your ongoing support and generosity and we wish you a happy and healthy summer. Mary Ali ~ Executive Director
