Christ Jesus, the Image of the Invisible God Paraphrase from Colossians 1:15
Today’s Processional Hymn “Immortal, Invisible, God Only Wise” takes its inspiration from the Second Scrip-ture Reading from Colossians. Speaks of the visible as well as the invisible. It also speaks of light, justice, pow-er, might, goodness and love. This rich text brings to life hints of creation, mountains and trees, and in the end as-sures us of God’s everlasting reign. The hymn tune “St. Denio” is based on a Welsh folk song, “Can mylnedd I nawr” (A Hundred Years from Now). The main body of the text in the first 4 stanzas, are taken from 1 Timothy 1:17. For a relatively short hymn, there is a great depth of meaning contained in within it. The Presentation Hymn “Stand by Me” is primarily taken from a writing by Charles Albert Tindley. Son of a slave, he was born in Berlin, Maryland on 7 July 1851. He later became a Pastor and congregation flourished under his dynamic leadership. The music to this moving text, was written by Tom Kendzia. Tom is a composer, speaker and liturgical clinician facilitator. Since 2002, he has been instrumental with the Irish Church Music Associa-tion Summer School in Ireland. He is Music Director at Christ the King Church, RI (URI). The short, but effective song that Luis (5 PM) and Kristen (10 & 11:30 AM) will sing at the beginning of Commun-ion, is taken from themes in the First Reading and Holy Gospel, namely, “loving the Lord with your heart, your being, your strength and your mind”. Written by Laurie Klein from Oregon, this short song has much meaning and dimension. ~ Raymond Murphy, Director of Music
The Flowers in the Sanctuary are dedicated In Honor &

How to Build a Culture of Life
“To understand more fully how to defend and pro-tect human life, we must first consider who we are, at the deepest level. God creates us in his image and likeness, which means we are made to be in loving
relationship with him. The essence of our identity and worth, the source of our dignity, is that we are loved by God.” ~ USCCB Secretariat of Pro-Life Activities
Bottles For Babies Please return any bottles,
with or without a donation. These bottles are needed for the next Church.
Many thanks to all who made the Fun Times with God, summer Bible Camp a success. We had nearly 100 participants, of all ages and talents. Through songs,
crafts, stories, plays and games we learned that “God is Good...All the Time.”
A Very Special Thank You to... Melissa, Peggy, Betty, David, Tracey, Nancy,
Gene, Pat, Sara, Madalyn, Lizzie

Our Lady of Mount Carmel and the Brown Scapular The Scapular was given from Our Lady of Mount Carmel to St. Simon Stock who was the Prior General of the order at the time of the revelation on July 16th, 1251. The Order of Car-mel was enduring difficulties, and he prayed fervently to Our
Lady for help, “Flower of Carmel, fruitful vine, splendor of Heaven, Mother of the Son of God. Amiable Mother, ever Virgin, give to thy children of Carmel the privilege of thy protection, star of the Sea.” At this prayer, Our Lady appeared to him, holding the Brown Scapular in her hands, saying to him, “This will be the sign of the privilege that I have obtained for thee and for the children of Carmel; whoever dies clothed with this habit will be preserved from the eternal flames.” Taken from: americaneedsfatima.org and an article published by Amy Farrell

12:15—1:00 PM
Summer of Discernment … in preparation for our Ministry Fair this coming September 7th and 8th. Fr. Dolan has asked that we take part in a daily Prayer of
Discernment this summer. By praying this prayer we are asking God to help us to recognize our gifts, and to be open to using them to build up and strengthen our community.
Each of us is called, in a unique way, to do the work of Christ - to be His hands and feet in the communities in which we live. As it states in scripture, (1Corinthians 12:4-6)
“There are different kinds of gifts but the same Spirit distributes them. There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord. There are different kinds of working, but in all of them and in everyone, it is the same God at work.”
We are all intricately connected as members of the Body of Christ. If we each commit to discovering and exploring our gifts, then we cannot help but to better recognize our roles in building each other up…hence the parish community in which we live.
After saying the Prayer of Discernment, sit in silence for 2 to 3 minutes, opening your heart and mind to the Lord. Write down, even it doesn’t make sense, all that comes to mind. Complete your prayer time by thanking God for his goodness and reciting the Our Father.
Ministry Fair to be held on the weekend of SEPTEMBER 7th and 8th.
Our Lady of Mount Carmel Parish will be hosting a time and talent ministry fair on the weekend of September 7th and 8th. The purpose of the fair is to generate awareness, enthusiasm and involvement among our parishioners and to ultimately increase our parish ministries. Active participation in our parish commu-nity is vital to the life of the Church. The fair will showcase all of our parish ministries and you will be able to discern how your particular talents can be used to serve others. Through our Bap-tism, we are each called to be followers and disciples of Jesus Christ. We encourage you to spend time over the summer praying about where God is calling you to share your faith, time and tal-ents. More information will be posted as the date becomes closer. We look forward to seeing you there.

A FAMILY PERSPECTIVE by Bud Ozar Children learn by watching us. Do they see you helping
others like the Good Samaritan, or do they see you avoind-
ing others like the Levite in today’s Gospel. Worry more
about what your children see in YOUR LIFE than what
they see on television or the computer.
Vocation Reflections It is a simple concept; love God with your whole being and put that love into practice. How is God calling you to love ? Have you considered the way of loving called to priesthood or religious life ? If
so, Father Jeff Gubbiotti, Director of Vocations, Archdiocesan Center at St. Thomas Seminary, Tel #860-242-5573, email [email protected] or visit the web at www.vocationshartford.org

The Marian Guild is providing
“Meal Bags to Go”
for children at St. Ann’s Soup Kitchen
Thanks to the generosity of parishioners, we now have an abundant supply of peanut butter and jelly for the summer. We are still in need of snack packs of trail mix, raisins, etc., juice boxes and shelf stable milk boxes. Please make sure to mark these donations to the “Marian Guild.”.
We greatly appreciate your help and generosity.
Marian Guild News Thanks to the Social Justice Committee, and countless vol-unteers from Our Lady of Mount Carmel Parish, who have served St. Ann’s Soup Kitchen for decades, our mission was born. The Marian Guild had adapted St. Ann’s Kitchen as our charity to support. We began this journey with a specific commitment...to pro-vide meal bags “To Go” for the children who are supported by St. Ann’s. These bags are delivered weekly and will help bridge the gap left during the summer when children cannot rely on school meal programs. The folks at the Soup Kitchen who distribute the bags each Friday describe the experience as “magical.” The children are so excited and joyful to take home their very own bag. Lucy, the manager of St. Ann’s, tells us this is the first time the soup kitchen has been able to provide a service such as this. No child should ever be hungry...EVER ! Our committee is humbled by the overwhelming generosity of our parishioners. Your donations of food items we re-quested, exceeded our expectations ! From the bottom of our hearts, we thank you !! For those who have experience St. Ann’s Soup Kitchen, no words are needed. It is a very special place indeed. All those at St. Ann’s who serve those in need, do so with God’s love and His Grace. It is an honor to begin this jour-ney, together, sharing our faith.
Gratefully, The Marian Guild St. Ann’s Soup Kitchen Committee
