17th Sunday in Ordinary Time
A single mother who has a child with special needs works two jobs and
sacrifices much of her own pleasures in order to be available for her son.
Being the best mother possible is important to her and brings her joy. We
are willing to make great and often heroic sacrifices for those people and
things that matter most to us. Unless there is something of obvious
importance to us in our immediate path, we can easily approach life in a
more haphazard and chaotic way. We jump from one thing to another,
responding to whatever it is that is competing for our attention at that
moment. When everything is important, nothing is important.
If we do not wear the right pair of glasses, we can get all too easily caught
up in the superficial stuff and neglect paying attention to the things that
really matter. The kingdom of God is like the pearl of great price that is
worth selling everything for so that it can be obtained. Based on where I
invest my time and energy each day, I really wonder whether I am serving
God’s kingdom or my own. Have you ever considered tracking how you
spend your time? You may be surprised! We allow our agendas to set the
clock of our lives. We forget that joy and a true sense of purpose are not
going to be found in following that timepiece. Joy is the expression of the
happiness that is discovered when living in the kingdom of God. When our
agenda matches God, not only do we leap for joy but God leaps with
delight as well. Our well-being is what matters most to God.
Can you imagine God delighting in you? It is easy to deaden our senses to
the whole reality of God and the joy that living the Gospel can bring. The
demands of secular life and the agendas competing for our attention can
quickly do that. We can get tired and spiritually apathetic. But if we can
see our way through all of the conflicting voices and hear the voice of
God, we can rediscover our zeal and passion and redirect our efforts.
When we begin to see as God sees, we can rise each day and notice what
really needs our attention and embrace it with exuberance. Be careful,
though. It may not be what we originally had on our list. Responding to it,
however, will be worth putting everything else aside.

The Sisters of the Holy Spirit will

Sisters of the Holy Spirit will
sponsor a pie sale in August. Watch
the bulletin for order forms and dates
for the sale and pickup.
Here are some ways we can pray with food:
As you are cooking or eating, recognize the ingredients as
fruits of the earth—say a prayer for the earth.
Be mindful of the farmers and ranchers who grow our crops
and raise the animals that become our food. They are at the
mercy of both the weather and our economic system—say a
prayer for them.
Much of our food needs to be packaged and transported for us
to have access—pray for the truckers, those who package,
those who stock shelves, and cashiers.
Many people prepare food prior to packaging—say a prayer
for bakers and butchers who make our lives easier.
Sometimes we allow others to cook for us, as we return to
restaurants—pray for the chefs, the servers, the dishwashers
who are gifting us with their talents.
If you are cooking for someone else—pray for those who will
be recipients of your gift.
Pray for those who are without food this day, those who do
not know how the will feed their families.
Pray for those who are working to provide food to the
hungry—ask God to bless their efforts and ponder if there is
something you can do to assist.
AND as you sit down to partake of what is in front of you,
say grace—thanking God for the gift which you are about to
receive!
