Families and the Gospel Aug. 5 (John 6:24-35) In today’s gospel Jesus tells us: “Do not work for what

perishes.” Give your life to what endures such as the

family history you are creating, the love and mutual

respect which bonds you together, the memories you

share and the forgiveness generously given. These ae

the true treasures that are worth working and dying for.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ MANNA? WHAT IS THIS?

When the crowd saw that neither Jesus nor

his disciples were there, they themselves got

into boats and came to Capernaum

looking for Jesus. John 6: 24

THOUGHTS ON STEWARDSHIP

AS A WAY OF LIFE

“Each day the people are to go out and gather their

daily portion; thus will I test them, to see whether they

follow my instructions or not.”

Exodus 16: 4

When the Israelites gathered more than their daily

portion of manna, the surplus became wormy and rotten.

In the same way today, self-reliance, pride and ego leads

to hoarding and excessive surplus of goods and money.

Living a stewardship lifestyle helps us discern our

“wants” from our “needs”. Living a generous lifestyle

reminds us that God will provide all that we need and

that we have plenty to share.

THANK YOU. . For many decades The Friar’s Shop in Loretto, PA has served the local community

providing religious gifts for every occasion. Through

the years we have often sold both baptism and wedding

gifts for the same recipient. It has been a true pleasure

to build relationships with so many faithful, regular

customers. However, times have changed a great deal.

It is hard for any brick and mortar store to compete with

the online giants. It is with great sadness that we must

announce that the Friar’s Shop is closing. Our last day

of operation will be Saturday, September 15th. We will

be offering storewide discounts to help reduce

inventory. We thank you all for your friendship and

support through the years. May God Bless you all.
