Thank you to Reynolds Market and to those who are using the four-digit code number “1190” when purchasing items at Reynolds. The funds will be used for maintenance and improvements of our facilities. SPIRITUAL ADOPTION PROGRAM: You’re in the home stretch with your spiritually adopted baby. He is completely formed, and has been since 8 weeks. All he is doing now is gaining weight—and making his mother uncomfortable. Your baby’s mother appreciates the prayers you have said for her and her baby throughout the pregnancy. It hasn’t been easy, but your prayers have given her grace to seek the help she needs. This weekend there will be a basket in the entryway of the church for your “baby shower” items for our local cri-sis pregnancy center, Miles City Pregnancy Outreach Clinic. A list has been provided for the needs of the clinic next to the basket.

ther Rob (234-1691 or 234-7585) as soon as possible for details if you are planning to join the pilgrimage. Infor-mation can be picked up in the entryway of the church. STEWARDSHIP THOUGHT: “This is my commandment: love one another as I love you. No one has greater love than this, to lay down one’s life for one’s friends” – JOHN 15:12-13 Do you love Jesus? Do you consider Him your friend? Jesus says that if we love Him we would be willing to offer whatever we have to Him, not because we want praise and glory, but simply because we love Him. Does your giving seem mechanical out of obligation or do you share freely out of love?

HOME MISSIONS APPEAL: Thank you for your gener-ous support of last week’s catholic Home Missions Appeal. Your contributions will help strengthen the Church at home and ensure that the Gospel is spread across the United States.

O God, You are our Creator. You are good

and Your mercy knows no bounds. To You arises the

praise of every creature. O God, You have given us an inner law by

which we must live. To do Your will is our task. To follow Your ways is to know peace of heart. To You we offer our homage. Guide us on all

the paths we travel upon this earth. Free us from all the evil tendencies which lead our hearts away from Your will. O God, author of peace and justice, give us true joy and

authentic love, and a lasting soli-darity among peoples. Give us Your everlasting gifts. Amen

- St. John Paul II
