My Dear People, Today’s theme on the Readings: ASKING FOR HELP The Beatitudes praise the poor in spirit. One characteristic of those who are poor in spirit is their ability to ask for help; they know when others can provide what they lack. Today’s readings encourage us to practice poverty in spirit by asking God for what we need. What could be more natural than to ask God for good things? God is, after all, the inventor of goodness and the giver of all good things. Asking God for help puts us in conversation with God. These conversations take many forms. The reading from Genesis shows Abraham bantering with God like a skilled negotiator, while Saint Paul’s letter to the Colossians praises God for answering us even when we don’t deserve it. In Saint Luke’s Gospel, Jesus not only gives us words to use in our conversations with God (the Our Father), but also promises that God always listens to our prayers. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
In Christ, Father John

The Library Corner
Good Sunday to you. I hope you are enjoying Summer and finding a little more time to read. Holding to that hope, I have a couple of titles to share that I pray will entice you to come in and see all that we have for you. We have literally a few thousand items that are filled with the spirituality, wisdom, and traditions of our Catholic faith.
Mother Teresa of Calcutta: Life in The Spirit, edited by Kathryn Spink. This “little book” shares with us some of Mother Teresa’s thoughts about listening to God. She tells us that “God is the friend of silence”; “He cannot be found in noise and restlessness” Advice and a challenge from a Saint. (88 pages).
The Scarlet and The Black, by J . P. Gallagher . The true story of the heroic work of Msgr. Hugh O’Flaherty during the Nazi occupation of Rome. His efforts, and those of the team he assembled, managed to save the lives of almost 9000 POW’s and Jews. An interesting read in view of today’s culture of negativism toward the Church at that time in history. (191 pages).
Next week we will be on the patio with our excellent collection of surplus books. Please stop by and find “A Book of Your Own”.
Donations appreciated but not required.
TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION The pilgrim experience of going by foot to Santiago de Compostella, the shrine of St. James, reached its high point this week at the feast of the Apostle, with tens of thousands of pilgrims on the road. Typically, they cover twelve to twenty miles a day through rough territory. The difficult journey and the often primitive lodging facilities are made bearable by the joy of the pilgrims, their songs and prayers. When their journey is documented properly, they receive the scallop shell, a reminder not only of James the fisherman, but also his call to fish for human beings and to baptize the nations. In the Middle Ages, those who wore this badge on their hats were granted lodging and hospitality wherever they went. Next to the palm, the sign of a Jerusalem pilgrim, the scallop shell was most highly prized. In the Middle Ages, some people so enjoyed the pilgrim road, although it was filled with discomfort and danger, that they spent most of their lives on the road. Today, some people take up the route for exercise, but are drawn gradually into the spirituality of the journey. As you make your summer travels, always fold in an element of pilgrimage: a long walk through beautiful countryside, a visit to a church, a prayer of gratitude for your journey through life’s hills and valleys. —James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
