Holy Family, We consecrate ourselves and our family to you.
May we be completely united in a love that is lasting, faithful, and open to the gift of new life.
Help us to grow in virtue, to forgive one another from our hearts, and to live in peace all our days.
Keep us strong in faith, persevering in prayer, diligent in our work, and generous toward those in need.
May our home, O Holy Family, truly become a domestic church where we reflect your example in our daily life.
Amen.

Sunday, July 12 - The Fifteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time
In today’s Gospel from Matthew, our Lord
shares the Parable of the Sower who scatters
seed on many different kinds of land. This is a
wonderful analogy for the stewardship way of
life, demonstrating the slow and steady, yet
powerful effect this lifestyle will have on those
who fully embrace it.
In this parable, some of the seeds land on a
path where birds carry them off before they can
begin to take root. Other seeds land on rocky
ground with little soil. As soon as things begin
to heat up, they get scorched and die. Then
there are seeds that land on soil cluttered with
thorns which choke the seeds just as they are
beginning to grow strong.
Finally, there are seeds that land on deep and
healthy soil. These seeds produce abundant
fruit.
This is where the stewardship way of life
comes in. When we give the best of our time, talent and treasure to serve God and
others, we create lives filled with that rare “good soil” needed for the Kingdom of
God to thrive.
How does this happen? Stewardship living removes the “rocks” of mistrust from our
lives as we develop an unshakable faith that God will always provide for our needs. It
clears away the “thorns” of worldly ambition that make us self-centered, fill us with
needless anxiety and stifle our focus on God. Stewardship living requires a deep reli-
ance on the Word of God and the sacraments which continuously nourish and fertilize
the soil of our lives.

During this difficult time, pray for an end to the spread of the coronavirus and for all
healthcare workers and those personally affected by the virus. Please remember to prac-
tice social distancing, covering coughs and sneezes, and diligent hand-washing.
O Mary,
you always brighten our path of salvation
and of hope.
We entrust ourselves to you, health of the sick,
who, at the Cross, took part in Jesus’ pain
while remaining steadfast in faith.
O loving Mother, you know what we need,
and we are confident you will provide for us
as at Cana in Galilee.
Intercede for us with your Son Jesus, the Divine Physician,
for those who have fallen ill, for those who are vulnerable,
and for those who have died.
Intercede also for those charged with protecting the health and
safety of others and for those who are tending to the sick
and seeking a cure.
Help us, O Mother of Divine Love,
to conform to the will of the Father
and to do as we are told by Jesus,
who took upon himself our sufferings and carried our sorrows,
so as to lead us, through the Cross,
to the glory of the Resurrection.
Amen.
Under thy protection we seek refuge, O Holy Mother of God.
In our needs, despise not our petitions,
but deliver us always from all dangers,
O glorious and blessed Virgin. Amen.
(Adapted from the prayer of Pope Francis)
A PRAYER FOR PROTECTION
IN TIME OF PANDEMIC
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace, Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon; where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; where there is sadness, joy;
O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console;
to be understood as to understand; to be loved as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive; it is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
PEACE PRAYER
FOR

Your Ad
Here
My Jesus,
I believe that You are present in the Most Holy Sacrament.
I love You above all things, and I desire to receive You into my soul.
Since I cannot at this moment receive You sacramentally,
come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace You as if You were already there
and unite myself wholly to You. Never permit me to be separated from You.
Amen.
