SCHEDULE OF EVENTS SUNDAY JULY 8 Coffee Hour after the Masses MONDAY JULY 9 7:30 p.m. North East Freedom AA Group meeting (Auditorium) TUESDAY JULY 10 WEDNESDAY JULY 11 THURSDAY JULY 12 FRIDAY JULY 13 SUNDAY JULY 15 Coffee Hour after the Masses Live the Liturgy Inspiration for the Week It seems that Jesus is always facing some kind of opposition. Today, those from His native place amaze Him because of their lack of faith. We oppose Jesus as well. It is not easy to be challenged and realize our great need to change. We grow comfortable with ourselves and our surroundings and resist change. We become defensive when the wisdom Jesus utters asks us to leave ourselves and our concerns and think more about others. We lack faith in God, faith in ourselves, and faith in one another. We are asked to keep our eyes fixed on the Lord and allow ourselves to be stretched. Jesus knows what He is talking about. Do we really believe this? St. Ann s Novena Begins July 17 We honor St. Ann and we pray to her for her intercession to grant us blessings and favors. St. Ann s Novena will be on: Tuesday, July 17: after the 5:30 p.m. Mass Wednesday, July 18: after the 5:30 p.m. Mass Thursday, July 19: after the 5:30 p.m. Mass Friday, July 20: after the 6:00 p.m. Mass Saturday, July 21: after the 8:00 a.m. Mass Sunday July 22: after the 11:00 a.m. Mass Monday, July 23: after the 8:00 a.m. Mass. Tuesday, July 24: after the 5:30 p.m. Mass Wednesday, July 25: after the 5:30 p.m. Mass Ending on Thursday July 26, (Feast of Joachim and Ann, parents of the Blessed Virgin Mary and grandparents of Jesus) at 5:30 p.m. We are inviting all the members of Ladies Society and all the parishioners to take part in this beautiful Novena. Please plan on coming and please spread the invitation to all!!

3 14th Sunday in Ordinary Time If you have been closely following the Sunday readings, today's Gospel could sound a bit like a broken record. Four weeks ago, the Gospel told of Jesus visiting His home of Nazareth and being poorly received by His family members. Jesus had attracted a large crowd as He preached, and His concerned relatives came to bring Him home. Jesus, they thought, was out of His league. Today Jesus takes things further. He returns to Nazareth. Rather than preaching from His house, He enters the synagogue. He speaks eloquently. The listeners acknowledge that "Wisdom has been given Him" and recognize the "mighty deeds wrought by His hands," but it is too much for them to bear. "Is He not the carpenter, the son of Mary?" The listeners know His whole clan, His male and female relatives. Jesus as carpenter was acceptable. Even Jesus as fringe preacher was interesting enough to draw a crowd. But Jesus as authoritative teacher is too much. "They took offense at Him." As Christians, we have known the truth of Jesus' identity since we were first introduced to Him. He is fully human and fully Divine. He is the Second Person of the Trinity. It could be easy to look down on these 1st century listeners for their lack of faith. But where do we expect to learn our own lessons? The more we age, the easier it is to believe we understand the world and how it works. We have experience with people, with the Church, with politics, and with the affairs of daily living. We have developed criteria for first impressions. We categorize. Today we remember that the Christian life requires humility. Jesus' listeners have an expectation of how things should be, and their lack of faith causes doubt in others. "He was not able to perform any mighty deeds there." Do your assumptions limit your perspective? Who can you learn from that you did not expect? Everyday Stewardship Recognize God in Your Ordinary Moments Sometimes we need a dose of healthy skepticism. Do you see some of the claims on the Internet, in social media, or even on the cover of supermarket tabloids? If we are not careful, we can easily be led astray. However, when we find ourselves skeptical all the time, unable to trust anyone or anything, we have a problem. Trust is essential in a conversion process, and we all are in a continual process of turning toward and moving closer to God. If we find it hard to trust the promises of God, then we will find ourselves lost and bewildered. Sometimes the biggest obstacle to a stewardship way of life is lack of trust. This is true for individuals as well as parish communities. Do we believe that God will provide for our needs? Do we believe that if we give it all away we will receive even more in abundance? Do we believe that there is true freedom in complete surrender? Many will say that the principles of a stewardship way of life sound good spirituality and are inspiring. But when really faced with the tough decisions, they will fall back on placing trust in themselves, material goods, or money. Are we true disciples and good stewards as we claim? Where do you place your trust? Have you chosen a path where you are all in or are you still keeping something for yourself because you just aren't sure all this talk of "consider the lilies" is real or just pretty words on a page? Please Pray for... Please pray for all those in hospitals, who are ill or recovering from surgery, and all those ailing at home, in hospice or in nursing homes.

You may still call the rectory with this information. Saint Kateri Takakwitha On July 14th, we celebrate the feast of the "Lily of the Mohawks." St. Kateri Tekakwitha is the first Native American woman to be canonized. Orphaned by a smallpox outbreak, Kateri survived with severe scarring and impaired eyesight. Despite tragedy, she was a devout girl at a young age, often building crosses from sticks in the woods. When she was 18, she began secret instruction in the Catholic faith with French missionaries. Her commitment to Christianity and vow of virginity was misunderstood and ridiculed by her fellow villagers. She escaped to a nearby mission, where she attended daily Mass, taught the children, and cared for the sick and the elderly. Sometimes the greatest misunderstandings can come from those closest to us. Like St. Kateri, God invites us to be faithful to our commitments of faith and to always respond in love.

4 XIV Niedziela Zwykła Łączy nas wszystkich zebranych w Kościele na Eucharystii jedna wiara i jeden chrzest. Łączy nas wspólne powołanie do świętości. Chcemy razem złożyć Bogu ofiarę Jego Jednorodzonego Syna. Jesteśmy wszakże świadomi własnej niedoskonałości i grzechu. W Starym Testamencie Bóg powoływał proroków, którzy mieli obwieszczać ludowi Jego wolę. Za posyłanym prorokiem zawsze stała powaga posyłającego Boga. Mimo to ludzie rozmaicie reagowali na słowo Pana: jedni słuchali słów Boga, inni sprzeciwiali mu się i je odrzucali. Podobną reakcję zastał Jezus w rodzinnym Nazarecie, gdzie Jego współrodacy Go nie przyjęli. Dziwił się ich niedowiarstwu. Człowiek jest słaby, może się zapomnieć, Byleby nie odrzucał z uporem Bożej łaski. Wystarczy ci Mojej łaski mówi Pan do Pawła. Moc bowiem w słabości się doskonali.
