“Another week come and gone - another Sunday here to rest in the Lord’s goodness. I pray that this Sunday and every Sunday is a day given over to the Lord – it is His day – use it well. I also pray that you have enjoyed and made use of this beautiful weather we have been having. It is a blessing from the Lord.
“We also pray for our country and for those places experiencing strife, especially Ferguson. We certainly pray for calm, reconciliation, and justice. It is always sad when a young person loses his life; unfortunately, we don’t know the facts in this case, as we also want to support our police as they work to stem crime and protect the communities. May we all work for building up the kingdom of God here on earth.”…Fr. Dave

Support Religious Communities – “Your generous contribution helps us to care for our retired sisters and enables our younger sisters to continue in active ministry,” writes a religious sister. Your gift to this weekend’s collection for the Retirement Fund for Religious provides vital support for the retirement needs of senior sisters, brothers, and religious order priests. It also helps ensure that younger members can continue the good works of their elders! If you forgot your donation this weekend, just drop in the collection basket next weekend.

Stewardship Quote - In today’s first reading, the Lord speaks through the prophet Isaiah during a time of political dissolution and moral decline. The prophet had warned of God’s judgment against people for the feelings of self-importance they found in their possessions, and condemned them for various forms of economic injustice such as exploiting the poor and immigrants. Good stewards know that Isaiah’s message is as compelling today as it was in the time of the kingdom of Judah: Do the right thing. Offer justice and compassion toward others. Be honest in all your dealings. And remember to observe the day of the Lord.
