NINETEENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME “I am the living bread that came down from heaven, says the Lord;

whoever eats this bread will live forever.”

Taste and see the

goodness of the Lord.

You are gifts from God to us. May the Lord bestow a special blessing upon you on your birthday.

“So be imitators of God,

as beloved children.”

“Amen, amen, I say to you,

whoever believes has eternal

life.”

Monday Praying the

Scriptures

We worship

God, not the

written

words. But

we rever-

ence the

words of

God because

they lead us

to God him-

self. We

pray.

Tuesday The Face of

Jesus

It has taken

me many

years to be

able to see

Jesus when I

look in the

mirror; being

able to do this

has brought

me joy. I have

learned that

by letting Je-

sus into my

heart and then

out again, I

can begin to

see him in

myself.

Wednesday The Sin of

Pride

All our other

sins can be

from ourselves;

for example,

avarice, lust,

anger, gluttony.

But pride

comes direct

from hell. By

that sin fell the

angels. It de-

stroys the very

possibility of

conversion. –

Fulton Sheen

Thursday Knowing

Christ

If you know

Christ, it does

not matter if

you know

nothing else;

but if you

know not

Christ, it is as

nothing to

know every-

thing else. –

Fulton Sheen

Friday Atmosphere of

Love

Parents are the

ones who must

create a family

atmosphere ani-

mated by love

and respect for

God and man, in

which the well-

rounded per-

sonal and social

education of

children is fos-

tered. Hence the

family is the

first school of

the social vir-

tues that every

society needs.

Saturday The Time for

Tolerance

We are called

to love indi-

viduals, even

those who are

attempting to

destroy the

moral fabric of

our society, but

to be strongly

intolerant of all

falsehood.

Sunday Superior

Civilization

A civilization is

not superior

because it has

more bathtubs

and electric

switches,

deeper tunnels

and taller build-

ings, more

automobiles

and radios than

any other civili-

zation, but…it

is superior if it

produces better

men and more

saints. –Fulton

Sheen

ATTENTION ALL PARISHIONERS - SOLEMNITY OF THE ASSUMPTION:

The Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary (August 15) falls on a Saturday this year. For this

reason, the Bishops of the United States have removed the obligation to attend Holy Mass for the feast. While it is

NOT a Holy Day of Obligation this year, it remains a great Holy Day in honor of Our Lady. For your spiritual

benefit, Holy Mass for the feast of the Assumption will be celebrated in the two different forms of the Church’s

Liturgy: on Friday, August 14, there will be a Vigil Mass celebrated at 5:30pm in the Ordinary Form (which

you’re used to). On Saturday morning, there will be a Mass at 8:00am in the Extraordinary Form (in Latin, as it

was before the Second Vatican Council). May our Mother Mary continue to help us to serve Our Lord faithfully

that we may join her in praising Him forever in Heaven.

High School CCD &

1st Communion classes will

begin on Sunday, August 16.

——————————

We are in need of a 10th grade

teacher. Please call the office

if you can volunteer.

There will be a

Festival meeting on

Wednesday, August 12

@ 7 pm

in the CCD building.
