19TH SUNDAY OF ORDINARY TIME August 11, 2019

Our Parish Mission Statement

We, the Catholic Church of Desoto Parish, embrace the universal mission

of the Church. As members of the Body of Christ, the Holy Spirit calls us

together to worship the Father: By celebrating God’s presence among us in

both Word and Sacrament; by proclaiming the Good News of Jesus’

redemptive death and resurrection and by expressing God’s unconditional,

liberating and healing love in our service to others in the world.

Weekend Celebrant– Fr. Tim Hurd

IN REFLECTION

Jesus said to his disciples: “Do not be afraid any longer, little flock, for your Father is pleased to give you the kingdom. ~Luke 12:32

In whom do you trust? Abraham and Sarah were an

elderly, childless couple living in a foreign land, but

Abraham trusted God’s promise that one day he would

have descendants “as numerous as the stars.” How

could he believe this? Hebrews says it was because “the

one who had made the promise was trustworthy.” In a

challenging and uncertain world, let us put our trust in

our loving God.

Each of today’s readings assures us that we can always

trust in God. Wisdom reminds us that the Chosen

People’s courage came from their faith in God’s

promises. Hebrews recalls Abraham’s unwavering faith

in God’s promise to him. Jesus asks his disciples to

have faith in what they cannot know, like when the

master will return from a wedding. We cannot know

the future, but we can know whom to trust.

Question of the week: Considering that the end may come

at any time, am I prepared? What can I do to prepare

myself for my end time?

ST. JOSEPH BIBLE STUDY

We have begun a new study Genesis to Jesus; Journey

through Scripture. This is a twelve-part video series that

surveys the principal covenants that God made with his

people through figures such as Adam, Noah, Abraham,

Moses and David. It also shows how each of these

covenants points forward to and is fulfilled by Jesus Christ

and his Church. Participants will see a panoramic vision of

salvation history and our place in this story.

It is not too late to join us. Classes are Mondays at

9:00 AM and again at 6:00 PM in the Parish Hall.

We will have a birthday breakfast for Fr. Crispin before

bible study on Monday morning and birthday cake for him

before bible study in the evening. Everyone is invited to

attend both the celebrations and the bible study.
