JULY 08, 2018 FOURTEENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME

A VIEW FROM THE PEW

Scripture Reflection on the Second Reading

2 Corinthians 12:7-10

No Excuses

If only I had more money, more time, more assistance, more talent. We all have

a pretty impressive laundry list of why we can’t be of service to God and to

others. Even St. Paul had his “thorn in the flesh,” some private difficulty that

seemed to hold him back from being the apostle he sought to be. Paul kept

praying for its removal so he could be free of this impediment. Finally he reinterpreted the thorn: not

an impediment but an opportunity to let God be God. Maybe it’s time to stop protesting and start

serving!

“My grace is sufficient for you, for power is made perfect in weakness.”

SAINT OF THE WEEK

Saturday, July 14

Memorial of

Kateri Tekakwitha

Home Is Where You Find

Acceptance

Orphaned early and disfigured in a smallpox

epidemic, Kateri (1656-80) may not have imagined

the role she would play in her generation and

beyond.

Becoming a Catholic at the age of 21, she

demonstrated her devotion at the expense of the

goodwill of the extended family that had taken her

in. After enduring derision and cruelty, the “Lily of

the Mohawks” escaped to a mission settlement and

there taught children and cared for the sick and

elderly. She is now regarded as the special patron-

ess of Catholic Native Americans and has united

native peoples across North America.

When the yoke seems heaviest, may we too find

reason to hope in Christ.

“Summertime and the livin’ is easy…”

Rest Up, It’s Sunday

We are all proud of our work ethic — perhaps too proud. We tend to value our work and busyness so much that we forget how to be still enough to hear God’s quiet voice. We need leisure — not frenetic vacationing or compulsive recreational activities, but simple rest when we can unplug and think. Jesus says, “I will give you rest.” We may think he means eternal rest, but we don’t have to wait until we’re dead to enjoy it! Why not today?

Faith Formation Conference at St. Theresa

Catholics flocked to St. Theresa on June 22 and 23 to

refresh, share, and be enlightened.

Parishioner Deanna Rasmussen, who is a Proclaimer

of the Word (Lecotr) at MSOS decided to attend, and

was enlightened meeting other Lectors. For Deanna,

she refreshed by recalling how to meet Jesus every-

where. She gained better insight from becoming a

reader to Lector to true Proclaimer of the Word.

Engaging technology to help evangelize teens was also

shared. Also, parishes that have undergone restored

order of the Sacraments shared what we will be en-

countering next year.

Thank you, Deanna, for your insight. Keep up the

good work.

“We are not human beings on a spiritual

journey. We are spiritual beings on a

human journey.”
