A MESSAGE FROM YOUR PASTOR
Today's Scripture Readings speak especially to those of us who are tempted at
times to lose hope and become discouraged. We all know that at times life can indeed be difficult.
Suffering and even pain are simply part of life. But we are reminded that the Lord is always with useven in our most difficult times. Our God cares for us as a loving Father who is aware of our every
need.
Just as Jesus healed those in today's Gospel, he wants to heal us. Jesus has the power to work
miracles in our lives and to give us the strength we need during our times of suffering and struggle.
He comes to us, revealing a God of compassion- a God of love. The cross shows us that suffering
does not have the last word. There can be a resurrection as we triumph over the sufferings of this life.
We must call out to the Lord and open our hearts to His great love.
For us, Jesus is God's answer to pain and suffering. Let us be open to the Lord as He wants to
touch us, heal us and make us whole again.
In Christ,
Msgr. Emery

THINK ABOUT IT
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that
all men are created equal,
that they are endowed by their Creator with
certain inalienable rights,
that among these are life, liberty and the
pursuit of happiness.
THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE
Have we not all one Father? hath not one God
created us? why do we deal treacherously
every man against his brother, by profaning
the covenant of our fathers?
MALACHI 2:10
THINK ABOUT IT THE PEACE AND JUSTICE
COMMITTEE
Everyday Evangelizing for Everyday
Catholics:
Evangelization, in it's truest sense, speaks to
Christ our Savior's love for us.
On the cross and continuing even to this very
moment.
It is our task to truly find that love for ourselves,
and then to help others find it.

Prayer for the Year of Consecrated Life
O God, throughout the ages you have called
women and men to pursue lives of perfect charity
through the evangelical counsels of poverty,
chastity, and obedience. During this Year of
Consecrated Life, we give you thanks for these
courageous witnesses of Faith and models of
inspiration. Their pursuit of holy lives teaches us to
make a more perfect offering of ourselves to you.
Continue to enrich your Church by calling forth
sons and daughters who, having found the pearl of
great price, treasure the Kingdom of Heaven above
all things. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the
Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever.
If you don't pray this, please considering praying
one Hail Mary in thanksgiving for the gift of
Consecrated Life and in petition that women and
men called to consecrated will say "Yes" to God as
Mother Mary did.
Stewardship Reflections
“Rising very early before dawn, he left and
went off to a deserted place, where he
prayed…He told them, ‘Let us go on to the
nearby villages that I may preach there also.
For this purpose have I come.’” – Mark 1:35,38
In today’s Gospel reading we see a perfect
example of stewardship. Jesus gives His time
to do all that God wishes – healing the sick and
preaching. Yet, Jesus also makes time to be
alone in prayer. It is through prayer, spending
time with God, that we find the strength to do
what God wishes us to do. Be sure to find time
everyday to be with God.

convenient with no additional cost to you as you
support your parish. It can be accessed through our
parish web site (www.olschurch.com). You may
still receive envelopes in the mail and if you wish
you could turn them into the collection on Sunday
and simply write "Parish Giving" on them. Please
consider enrolling today as a way to enhance your
personal stewardship to our parish. If you begin to
use Electronic Giving and do not wish to receive
envelopes (which will save the parish money)
please contact the parish office. Please know that
it may take a month or two for the envelopes to
stop coming.
Reflections on the Catechism
“Jesus and Prayer”
2602 Jesus often draws apart to pray in
solitude on a mountain, preferably at night. He
includes all men in his prayer, for he has taken
on humanity in his incarnation, and he offers
them to the Father when he offers himself.
Jesus, the Word who has become flesh,
shares by his human prayer in all that “his
brethren” experience; he sympathizes with
their weaknesses in order to free them. It was
for this that the Father sent him. His words
and works are the visible manifestation of his
prayer in secret.
