“In hopeless situations of pain and suffering, God never aban-dons his children but rather re-mains close to them.” -Pope Francis-

"God's answer to our

pain is a closeness, a

presence that accompa-

nies us, that doesn't

leave us alone. Jesus

made himself the same

as us and for this reason

we have him near us, to

cry with us in the most

difficult moments of our lives. Let us

look at him, entrust him with our ques-

tions, our sorrows, our anger," the pope

said in a letter published Aug. 13 in the

Italian newspaper "Il Secolo XIX."

Holy Land Items: August 17th & 18th (TODAY)

A group from the Holy Land (Bethlehem & Jerusalem) will be selling religious articles

after mass to support the Catholic Christian minorities in Bethlehem. As a tradition,

many of the Catholic families in the Holy Land work in small workshops to produce

religious articles from olive wood. These articles represent the Christian art of the Ho-

ly Land. In the past, they used to sell their artwork to pilgrims who visit the Holy Land.

However, these days they are facing an economic hardship as very few tourists visit

the Holy Land due to security issues. Many of the Catholic families immigrated and

left the Holy Land. The percentage of Christians in the Holy Land has dropped from

20% to less than 1%. Therefore, if this hardship continues as it is

now, we believe that in a few years, there will be no Catholics in

Bethlehem or Jerusalem. The struggle to preserve the Catholic

identity of the birthplace of our savior; Jesus Christ is a serious

concern for Catholics around the world. Sales will be used to

help and support the Catholics in the Holy Land and to encour-

age them not to immigrate.

Queenship of the Blessed Virgin Mary

Feast Day: August 22nd, 2019

On the day of her Assumption, Mary our Mother was solemnly crowned by Christ and received by the whole

court of Heaven as Queen.

What Christ has done in Heaven and the Church has done on our be-half we should now do individual-

ly, that is, we should recognize Mary's Queenship, enthrone her in our homes, consecrate ourselves to her and, by this means, establish in

our lives the reign of Mary Immaculate Queen of the Universe.

"Let us run to Mary, and, as her lit-

tle children, cast ourselves into her

arms with a perfect confidence."

- Saint Francis de Sales-
