Thank you for your continued generosity!

For the summer months of July and August, there will be a change in the mass schedule. Saturday at 5:00 and Sunday at 8:30 remain the same, but we will have one mass Sunday morning, combining the 9 and 11 masses into one mass at 10:00 am. With people on holidays, spending time at camp etcetera, the numbers attending do not warrant two masses and there has been some difficulty scheduling readers, Eucharistic ministers, ushers and musicians for all the masses.

Thirteenth Week of Ordinary Time

Sunday is the Thirteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time. In Luke's Gospel we hear of Jesus “resolutely determined to journey to Jerusalem” but not being welcomed by all. When Jesus invites: “Follow me” he is put off with excuses. “No one who sets a hand to the plow and looks to what was left behind is fit for the kingdom of God.” Tuesday is the Memorial of Saint Irenaeus, Bishop and Martyr. Wednesday is the Solemnity of Saints Peter and Paul, Apostles, with its own special readings. The first readings this week are from the Book of the Prophet Amos. Amos was a shepherd who was called to deliver God's word to the northern kingdom, Israel.

Matthew's Gospel takes us through several stories about Jesus' ministry. We begin as Jesus demonstrates that following him requires a radical change in life: “Follow me, and let the dead bury their dead.” Jesus calms the storm at sea. Then he drives demons out of two men living among the tombs. When a paralyzed man is brought to him, Jesus has compassion on the man and forgives his sins, which causes a controversy. Jesus then heals the man's paralysis. He calls Matthew to leave his customs post and follow him, and the many tax collectors and sinners who come to have dinner with Jesus cause a controversy with the religious leaders. “Those who are well do not need a physician, but the sick do. Go and learn the meaning of the words, 'I desire mercy, not sacrifice.' I did not come to call the righteous but sinners.” When Jesus' disciples are criticized for not fasting, Jesus talks about the difficulty of combining the old and the new. He is calling for something radically new. Not a patch, but new wine in new wineskins. Sunday is the Fourteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time. We continue in Luke's Gospel with Jesus sending out the seventy-two “like lambs among wolves.” Typical of Jesus' teachings, the sending reveals both the grace of being sent and a lesson of what to be thankful for. We are called not to be proud in our status as Christians, but joyous in our knowledge that we have a place in God's Kingdom.
