That any far-reaching decisions of economists and politicians may protect the family as one of the treasures of humanity. Live the Liturgy - Inspiration for the Week Living the Gospel does not require much. In fact, less is sometimes more. Simple gestures or random acts of kindness can have unimaginable results and change lives. It is easy to believe that we do not have what it takes to make a difference, but we do! The key is to learn how to be grateful for the little gifts you possess and share them freely and abundantly. It does not take much to satisfy the hungers of the human heart or mend the wounds of sorrow and pain. All we need to know is that God is with us. All people need to know is that we are with them. God provides the rest. Truly be present to those you meet this week and offer them your most precious gift, the gift of yourself. Everyday Stewardship Recognize God in Your Ordinary Moments In our daily lives, we find ourselves wanting many things. We desire outcomes and good fortunes that we think will make all the difference. However, oftentimes when we receive these things, we only find ourselves wanting more. Worse yet, if we do not get them, we can see our lives as incomplete. God always provides what we need. It may not be what we want. Our eyes can deceive us into believing that what we receive is not enough to fulfill us. If we trust in God and seek to only live with what sustains us rather than dive into excess, we will find that we are happier, healthier, and at peace. No one should ever make himself or herself feel overcome by too much of anything. God knows what we need even if we cannot see it for ourselves.
17th Sunday in Ordinary Time Have you ever wanted to be part of something bigger? Even the most independent among us likes to make changes and have an impact on others. In this Sunday's Gospel reading, Jesus demonstrates one of His most iconic miracles -- the multiplication of the loaves. It is a sign of the institution of the Eucharist, when we are fed not by bread but by the Body of Christ. In the stories of ancient pagan gods, mighty deeds were done entirely under the gods' own power. Mortals may have offered sacrifices to start the chain of events, but they played little role in the miraculous works themselves. Jesus is entirely different. The multiplication of the loaves is a prime example not only of Jesus' power over nature, but of the way He equips His disciples. First, Jesus asks Philip a question "to test him." Jesus has seen the crowds and "He himself knew what He was going to do," but He wants His disciples to start thinking about the problem and its solution. Andrew offers a suggestion, though he isn't confident in it. "There is a boy here who has five barley loaves and two fish; but what good are these for so many?" Jesus honors Andrew's suggestion, takes the offered loaves, and delegates the Apostles to bring order to the crowd. When the crowd has been fed, the Apostles "gather the fragments left over." In the process, they discover with wonder that bread has been produced in super abundance. In the sacraments, God works through simple matter to make grace real in our lives. He works in and through us as well. Are you facing problems that could have spiritual solutions? Is there a need in your parish or community that you could meet? Whatever our hesitancies, Jesus honors our simple loaves and fishes. He invites us to participate in His generous work of redemption, just as we are. Why Do We Do That Catholic Traditions Explained Question:. What is the difference between mortal and venial sin? Answer: Sin is a deliberate thought, word, action, or omission contrary to God's law. Since the beginnings of the Church, sin has been distinguished by its gravity. "Grave matter" is traditionally defined by the Ten Commandments. If a person commits a grave sin with full knowledge of the action's evil and with the complete consent of their will, this is a mortal sin. The effects of mortal sin are grave -- the loss of sanctifying grace, which can be restored by a fresh outpouring of God's mercy in the sacrament of Reconciliation. Venial sin does not fit one or more of these conditions (for example, a less serious matter still freely chosen or grave matter committed while under force or ignorance of God's law). The effects of venial sin -- while still damaging to the human heart and human society -- are less severe. Even so, smaller sins build habits, which can obstruct our growth in virtue. When we are serious about following Jesus, we should do our best to avoid all sin, whether large or small!

XVII Niedziela Zwykła W Ewangelii św. Jana, mnożenie przez Jezusa chleba i ryb jest przedstawiony jako znak jego władzy i boskości. Jezus interpretuje sens i znaczenie tego cudu jako dzielenie się Jego Ciałem i Krwią. W wielu ważnych dziedzinach, Ewangelia Jana używa cudu rozmnożenia chleba i ryb, aby uczyć o Eucharystii. Jan uczy nas, że za każdym razem, gdy sprawujemy Eucharystię, jesteśmy przewidywanie wieczną ucztę nieba. Nasze słowo Eucharystia pochodzi z języka greckiego i opisuje działania: " Dziękować". W Eucharystii jesteśmy karmieni przez samego Jezusa, i jesteśmy posłani, aby służyć innym. Ewangelia Jana zauważa szczegół, że chleb, jest jeczmienny i jest jest pokarmem ubogich. To przypomina nam, że Bóg nas karmi i pielęgnuje, spełniający nasze potrzeby fizyczne, jak również nasze duchowe. W Eucharystii, jesteśmy posłani, aby służyć najbiedniejszym z nas. Zapraszamy na 2018 Parafialny Festiwal! Parafialny Festiwal jest w tym tygodniu 3-go i 4-go sierpnia (Piątek i Sobota).
