But Martha was distracted by her many tasks; so

she came to him and asked, “Lord, do you not

care that my sister has left me to do all the work

by myself? Tell her then to help me.” But the

Lord answered her, “Martha, Martha, you are

worried and distracted by many things; there is

need of only one thing. Mary has chosen the

better part, which will not be taken away from

her.” (Luke 10:38-42)

Attention Retirees !?! Hello my friends, you are retired and in a way tired of baby-sitting, taking grand kids to different places, volunteering. Hope you enjoy what you do. I may tell you a way you can make a huge difference in the world. Holy Mass is the source of all blessings. If you decide to attend Holy Mass everyday and offer it for all your intentions, that will help the whole church and the world.

The Good Samaritan isn't just a parable, it's a way of life, Pope says

Vatican City, Jul 10, 2016 / 05:56 am (CNA/EWTN

News) By Elise Harris.- On Sunday Pope Francis said

the parable of the Good Samaritan isn’t just a nice

passage to reflect on, but signifies a concrete choice we make in deciding

how to live and treat those around us. “The Good Samaritan indicates a

lifestyle, the center of which is not ourselves, but others, with their

difficulties, who we meet on our path and who challenge us,” the Pope

said July 10.It’s us who choose this lifestyle or choose to reject it, he said,

explaining that the attitude of the Good Samaritan tests our faith, since

faith without works “is dead.” “Let us ask ourselves: is our faith fertile?

Does it produce good works? Or is it rather sterile, and so more dead than

alive? Do I make neighbors, or do I just pass by?” Francis asked, adding

that these questions would be good to ask ourselves often, since in the end

“we will be judged on the works of mercy.” The Lord, he said, will remind

us of the situations in which we saw him in those around us and either

helped, or did nothing. “Do you remember that time on the street of

Jerusalem and Jericho? That man who was half dead was me. Do you

remember? That hungry child was me. Do you remember? That migrant

who many times they wanted to throw out was me.” “Those grandparents,

abandoned in the nursing home, was me. That sick person in the hospital,

who no one visited, was me,” the Pope said, explaining that these are the

questions we will be asked.” read more: http://www.catholicnewsagency.com/

Rosary & Evening Prayer

We continue our evening prayer and

rosary recital program. This week on

Wednesday July 20th we gather at

6.30PM, at 12 Laval Street, Welland. John & Jennifer Labenski will be hosting this

gathering.

Only 5 minutes walk from our Church. Please join.

We should be Christians in deed,

as well as in name

(From the beginning of a letter to the Magnesians by

Saint Ignatius of Antioch, bishop and martyr)

Ignatius, also called Theophorus, to the church at Magnesia on the Maeander, a church blessed with the grace of God the Father in Christ Jesus, our Saviour, in whom I salute you. I send you every good wish in God the Father and in Jesus Christ.

I was delighted to hear of your love of God, so well-ordered and devout, and so I decided to address you in the faith of Jesus Christ. Honoured as I am with a name of the greatest splendour, though I am still in chains I sing with the praises of the churches, and pray that they be united with the flesh and the spirit of Jesus Christ, who is our eternal life; a union in faith and love, to which nothing must be preferred; and above all a union with Jesus and the Father, for if in him we endure all the power of the prince of this world, and escape unharmed, we shall make our way to God.

I have had the honour of seeing you in the person of Damas your bishop, a man of God, and in the persons of your worthy presbyters, Bassus and Apollonius, and my fellow-servant, the deacon Zotion; may I continue to take delight in him for he is obedient to the bishop as to the grace of God, and to the presbyters as to the law of Jesus Christ.

Now it hardly becomes you to presume on your bishop’s youth, but rather, having regard to the power of God the Father, to show him every mark of respect. This, I understand, is what your holy presbyters do, not taking advantage of his youthful condition but deferring to him with the prudence which comes from God, or rather not to him but to the Father of Jesus Christ, to the bishop of all. So then, for the honour of him who loves us, it is proper to obey without hypocrisy; for a man does not so much deceive the bishop he can see as try to deceive the bishop he cannot see. In such a case he has to reckon not with a man, but with God who knows the secrets of the heart.

We should then really live as Christians and not merely have the name; for many invoke the bishop’s name but do everything apart from him. Such men, I think, do not have a good conscience, for they do not assemble lawfully as commanded.

All things have an end, and two things, life and death, are side by side set before us, and each man will go to his own place. Just as there are two coinages, one of God and the other of the world, each with its own image, so unbelievers bear the image of this world, and those who have faith with love bear the image of God the Father through Jesus Christ. Unless we are ready through his power to die in the likeness of his passion, his life is not in us.
