LISTEN TO YOUR DREAMS Seventeenth Sunday in Ordinary Time July 30, 2017

God visits Solomon in a dream, and the scripture story

nowhere tells us that Solomon awoke to have this conversa-

tion with God! So, still in his dream, Solomon answers

God’s question about what he desires most, and God grants

his request for wisdom in abundance.

In our waking hours, we are much distracted by work,

home, family, traffic, entertainment, and many worries.

When we try to think about what we really want out of life,

we have trouble even imagining what that might be. But

deep inside, our real longings dwell, known to God and to

the Holy Spirit. Our dreams, unencumbered by defenses,

may hold clues to what our deepest needs are, or what

bothers us most. They could be God speaking. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

From the desk of our pastor, Father Tony Neusch

Thinking about Separation or Divorce? — Is your marriage

or that of a relative or friend struggling or even heading for di-

vorce? Do you know how to save that marriage? Or do you feel

helpless? Retrouvaille is designed to help troubled marriages regain

their health. It helps spouses uncover or re-awaken the love, trust,

and commitment that originally brought them together. The program

is highly successful in saving hurting marriages, even bringing recon-

ciliation to couples who have already separated or divorced. For

confidential information about or to register for the August program

beginning with a weekend on August 25-27 call Paul or Patty Miguel

at 806-420-1520 or email us at retropairamarillo@gmail.com or visit

There is a Church in Amarillo at the end of Amarillo Boulevard called “More Church.” On the side of the

building in big red letters is the word “More.” It is near St. Hyacinth’s. Fr. Jim Schmitmeyer jokes that one night he

wants to go and paint the words St. Thomas over the word “More.” I wonder how they picked the name for the

Church. I have a feeling it has something to do with the search for meaning. Isn’t it the main question of our life?

“Is there more?” The sign itself indicates that is you are looking for the answer that building just might be a location

to answer your question.

“To carry out such a task, the Church has always had the duty of scrutinizing the signs of the times and of

interpreting them in the light of the Gospel. Thus, in language intelligible to each generation, she can respond to the

perennial questions which men ask about this present life and the life to come, and about the relationship of the one

to the other. We must therefore recognize and understand the world in which we live, its explanations, its longings,

and its often dramatic characteristics.” Gaudium et spes 4.

What are the perennial questions that you ask about this present life? Perhaps you wonder about the meaning

of life, or the reason for suffering and pain. Maybe you ask the questions about life’s vocation, or God’s will for

your life? The questions of life have answers, deep life giving answers that can only be found in a relationship with

Jesus Christ. In Him we find all the “More” we could ever need.
