Weekend Mass attendance: 661

Just a reminder that our weekly budget is $10,000.

Thank you for all those who have generously given to the “No More Second Collections” collection. To date, we

have collected $13,017 (which is a little more than half of last year’s total to date). This special collection eliminates

almost all 2nd collections throughout the year, which affects 100% of the parish. Please prayerfully

consider being part of your parish family in this endeavor.

Thank you for your generosity!

Food pantry

Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament will be suspended for the summer months of July and August. With so many people away during these months, the attendance at First Friday Adoration has not been sufficient to continue during the summer. We will resume Adoration after Labor Day on Friday, September 7th.

Many of the children of our Food Pantry families

receive free or reduced price breakfasts and

lunches at school everyday. However, during the

summer months, their families must provide these

additional meals for them. We are looking for

donations of items that will help parents provide

daytime meals and snacks for their children

during the summer when the children are not in

school.

Please consider adding these items to your regular

donation: Chef Boyardee all varieties, Lunchables,

mayonnaise, cereal, granola bars, cookies, juice

boxes, snack size apple sauce, snack size puddings

and paper towels

We truly appreciate your continued

support and generosity!

Come Lean into god!

We need the Mass, God does not! It is a meal with a family with all its pomp and circumstance, bells and smells. It is an opportunity for us to step out of our “regular” world. Mass can actually be captivating, enlivening. It is not just history but actually mystery. Keeping Holy the Sabbath (Exodus 20:8-10) is commanded by Jesus “Do this in memory of me” (Luke 22:19). So we have to ask ourselves “How does love work in all of this?” Quite simply, God needs to be in the center of our hearts and our lives. God comes to feed us, to nourish us with His very self. God is the loving Father who knows what we need to live life to the fullest.

What is interesting is that Jesus is the ONLY religious leader who claimed to be God and people followed Him. So why would God come in the flesh? God creates a plan to save us. He is Jesus (which means “God saves”). Throughout the history of salvation, we have followed God then have broken the covenant again and again. This time, God becomes the covenant itself. Jesus saves us and redeems us by bringing heaven to earth. He shows us what love is. It is sacrificial and other orientated. He gives us a true model for holiness; living and breathing service.

In the Eucharist, we partake in the divine nature, we become like God because He gives His divine life to us (we call this grace “charis”). And this is only possible because of the Priesthood. God wishes to dwell within us. Notice that grace is central even to the word “Eu-charis-t.”

Making the commitment to come to church is all about priorities. Especially families who have children, who are pulled in a hundred different directions, coming to weekly Eucharist must be a priority. Priorities tell us what we value. How much value do we put on the Mass? Is it some place where we go to be entertained or is it a masterpiece that we come to enjoy and share? So often times, we put God on a clock. In a society that is limited to 140 words or less (Twitter) God gives us the Mass as a gift, a place

where we can come to relax, to rest from life, because God wants to give us His peace.

How do you approach this invitation? How do we prepare for Mass? Do we bring our own petitions? Do we participate in singing? The more you put in, the more you will get out of it. For Mass is a collision of heaven and earth. It is a time where we get a chance to lean into God. We are pointed back to God. It is a divine and human experience. God actually comes in the middle of the mess in our lives. The problem is that we make Mass all about us and not about God. We easily get distracted by things, but in reality, God comes and does all the work, it is truly all about Him. Creation is being brought back to the Creator. We get a chance to lean into God.

In the celebration of the Eucharist, we walk together on a journey, a pilgrimage to the altar of God, that is why we begin standing, singing and processing to the altar. That is why the Celebrant bows and kisses the altar, because it is the source of all grace. The word “liturgy” means the “public work” in the service of others. So it is not just for me, it is an action and we should not just be passive observers.

The Mass is broken down into two liturgies; the Liturgy of the Word and the Liturgy of the Eucharist. In the first, God gets an opportunity to speak to His children. Are we receptive to this Word? The Liturgy of the Eucharist is all about offering thanksgiving to the Father. We are called to join our sufferings, our joys, our needs with that of the priest as we offer to God His very self! It is an encounter with Jesus. It is the place where we meet Jesus “in the flesh!” That is why coming to church and being an active participant is so very important each and every week. Let us do the best for ourselves and our children and become an active member of our church, being prepared, being open, being ready to lean into God and watch His grace change our lives! “All Are Welcome” but you have to come and see!
