Rest in the Lord: The readings speak to people coming out of exile, to Jesus’ followers who are
burdened, to those struggling to live as early Christians. Living in a time when we are burdened by
information, negative or misleading, or disinformation as well as serious divisions and threats, we,
too, need encouragement. We seek honorable leaders and words we can trust. Do we allow God’s
word to be a true source of good news for us? What would happen if we allowed ourselves to ac-
cept Jesus’ invitation to come to him for rest? Homework: pray specifically for answer to one question that has
been nagging you – and rest as God reveals the answer.
On July 30th following the Sunday Mass, St. Anthony’s will host a Farewell Party for Fr. Pier. All are welcome!

Catholic Women’s League The Catholic Women’s League is the largest national organization of Catholic women in Canada. It is an organization that has been going strong in most parishes across Canada
since 1920 and here at St. Joseph’s since June 1946. The Catholic Women’s League is all about family. We actively fight for the rights of women and families at all levels of government, passing resolutions and working hard to understand and then act on complex political and social issues that affect all Cana-dians. As well, through fundraising activities, we support many groups that embody gos-
pel values.
DIOCESAN EVENTS DEVELOPMENT AND PEACE Our God who is full of compassion, promises to lift up those who are bowed down. Lead
us to understand not our own actions, dwelling within our own imperfect mind and flesh,
but to call in trust and unity of spirit upon Jesus Christ. Help us to also become conduits of
His grace as we work towards the Common Good. Take some time to explore some of the
activities and resources Development and Peace has made available for Canadians to en-
gage with Global Justice at http://www.devp.org/en/resources/activities

WHAT HAVE CATHOLICS CONTRIBUTED
Archbishop Fulton Sheen once said, “There are not even 100 people in this country who
hate the Catholic Church, but there are millions who hate what they think the Catholic
Church to be.” 1. Light and the cosmos: (1)Franciscan Roger Bacon (d 1292) at the request
of Pope Clement IV, largely initiated the tradition of optics in the Latin world - the first
spectacles were invented in Italy around 1300, an application of lenses that developed later
into telescopes and microscopes; (2)the Gregorian Calendar (1582), now used worldwide,
is a fruit of work by Catholic astronomers, (3)as is the development of astrophysics by the
spectroscopy of Fr Angelo Secchi (d 1878); (4)the Big Bang, was invented by a Catholic
priest, Fr Georges Lemaître (d 1966,), a historical fact that is almost never mentioned.
Future areas will include optics, science, philosophy, education, law, music, architecture,
literature, language
