Jesus, this week Your church celebrates a saint who tried
with all of her being to be the perfect hostess.
She got upset when her sister Mary just wanted to sit at
Your feet and listen to You.
Lord, helping others is very important, but we need to be
fed to truly be able to do that.
Give us the grace to listen to Your church, and learn how
to be just stewards of our time and talent.
Lord, help us to see others with Your eyes, and always
with the understanding that we must be strong to help
others get strong.
Jesus, help us to come to You everyday in every way.
Amen and Amen
Thank you Lord, for loving us totally.

This weeks readings and reflections
Sunday MULTIPLICATION TABLE
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?d=7/26/2009
"How can I set this before a hundred men?" —2 Kings 4:43
Many times what we have to offer seems so inadequate. We
may only have a couple free hours a week. So how can we
renew the Church? We may be confined to home. Our main
contact with people is by phone. Under these circumstances,
how can we make disciples of all nations? (Mt 28:19) We
have five dollars to give, but the church needs $100,000
to shelter the homeless. What good is five dollars?
We often find ourselves in the same situation as Jesus
when He found Himself with five loaves, two fish, and
fifteen to twenty thousand people to feed. Perhaps we
don't need food multiplied as much as time, energy, and
money multiplied. We need Jesus' multiplication miracle
daily to change our inadequacy into His sufficiency. Jesus
works this miracle daily in the Mass. Because of this,
the early Church called the Mass "breaking of the bread."
When Jesus breaks bread, our little lives are multiplied
to transform the world.

Living in Reality
The Key to Building Life in the Spirit
Many people, even Christians, are not in touch with reality
because of sin and our secular humanistic culture. Therefore,
in the preface of this book, we consider four basic realities
revealed by Christ. Then we focus on repentance from sin and
total commitment to Jesus. The book concludes by showing how
to build a new life and life-style in the Spirit through
family relationships.
This book should ideally be taught in the context of
Christian community rather than ....................

Notable quotations from Pope Benedict XVI and official teachings
of the Roman Catholic Church
THE YEAR FOR PRIESTS
TOTAL IDENTIFICATION
May the Year for Priests lead all priests to identify
totally with the Crucified and Risen Jesus so that, in
imitation of St. John the Baptist they may be prepared
to "shrink" that Christ may grow and that, in following
the example of the Cure d'Ars, they feel constantly and
profoundly the responsibility of their mission, which
is the sign and presence of God's infinite mercy.
ENTRUSTED TO MARY
To the Most Holy Virgin I entrust this Year for Priests.
I ask her to awaken in the heart of every priest a
generous and renewed commitment to the ideal of complete
self-oblation to Christ and the Church which inspired
the thoughts and actions of the saintly Cure of Ars.
HEARTS ON FIRE
Let us ask the Lord to set the heart of every priest
afire with that "pastoral charity" which can make him
one in heart and mind with Jesus ... and to imitate
Jesus in complete self-giving.

2009; Angelus, June 14, 2009; homily, June 19 , 2009; and
