From the Pastor’s Desk

Hello friends. For about six days, two of my priest friends and I were staying at a lovely place called Mount Tremblant in Quebec. The big attraction there is skiing and everything is practically ordered in that way. However, it is a great place to go for the summer, especially to escape the heat and humidity of these past weeks. On the first full day we were there, my friends and I took the gondola up to the top of the mountain. What a breath taking experience! Chairs were provided simply to take in the incredible scenery. As we sat down, we hardly said a word as we looked out on the beautiful landscape. While we were entitled to take the gondola back down, one of my friends convinced us to “walk” down the mountain. It seemed like a good idea but when we met wooded areas, rocks and slippery surfaces not to mention mud and creeks, you might imagine how popular my friend became to us! In any event, three hours later, we reached the bottom in full need of water and another chair from sheer exhaustion! Yet, even in the mix of avoiding broken ankles and other limbs, I breathed in that beauty on the mountain top. It stayed with me. I couldn’t deny it in spite of the dangers we were facing. It was very comforting and soothing. I couldn’t help also simply appreciate God’s handiwork all around me. I suppose this is why we invented vacations! In any event, let me close this little reflection with a poem by Gerard Manley Hopkins who writes about the way that God’s glory in nature is never spent, no matter how much we mess things up! Indeed, I hope you get to a mountain top experience these remaining summer days (it doesn’t have to be a mountain!) where you can drink in the glory of God all around us …..

Mass Schedule

IMMACULATE HEART OF MARY AUGUST 19, 2018 The world is charged with the grandeur of God.

It will flame out, like shining from shook foil; It gathers to a greatness, like the ooze of oil

Crushed. Why do men then now not reck his rod? Generations have trod, have trod, have trod;

And all is seared with trade; bleared, smeared with toil;

And wears man's smudge and shares man's smell: the soil

Is bare now, nor can foot feel, being shod.

And for all this, nature is never spent; There lives the dearest freshness deep down things; And though the last lights off the black West went

Oh, morning, at the brown brink eastward, springs Because the Holy Ghost over the bent

World broods with warm breast and with ah! bright wings.
