ADORATION CHAPEL “Love God. Serve God; everything is in that.” ~St. Clare
St. Clare of Assisi gave up a life of wealth to become a nun &
imitated St. Francis’ life of poverty. She spent hours in Eucharis-
tic Adoration & placed her trust in Jesus in the Most Blessed Sac-
rament even when her convent was besieged by an army. Looking
upon Jesus Eucharistic, the enemies fled in fear.
During the celebration of a Forty Hours Devotion, St. Rose
adored Jesus in the Most Blessed Sacrament from morning until
night without eating or drinking. St. Rose had such a great love
for the Blessed Sacrament that she started Perpetual Eucharistic
Adoration in every parish in her village. When pirates sought to
destroy her village, she led the faithful in standing near the taber-
nacle.
MANY PRAYERS AND SYMPATHY To Elaine Rock & family, upon the death of her sister,
Diane Trebonick on August 8, 2017.
To John “Jack” Adams & family, upon the death of his mother
Ida Adams, on August 17, 2017.
May Diane & Ida’s souls & the souls of all
the faithfully departed, through the mercy
of God, rest in peace. Amen
Life is changed, not ended.

PASTOR’S COLUMN Annick Theuroueville, a 20-year old French girl who had
been paralyzed from birth, took part in a Rosary pilgrimage to
Lourdes on October 7, 1975. In her wheelchair, she joined the
procession of more than 40,000 pilgrims, and then bathed in the
pool beside the grotto. After bathing, she complained of being
very tired. At three o’clock the next morning, she awakened in
her hotel room. On a sudden impulse, she got out of bed and
walked. Apart from painful efforts to use crutches, she had never
in her life done this. The other pilgrims at the hotel were amazed
to see Annick come down the stairs for breakfast. Doctors who
examined her on October 8 could find no medical explanation for
her recovery. Of course, the medical bureau at Lourdes is very
cautious about pronouncing cures miraculous. Conclusions are
reached only after several years of observation.
Naturally everybody was interested in asking Annick’s own
reactions. Many knew that she had long since accepted her dis-
ability as the will of God.
“It means joy” she answered, “but also sadness. For I ask
myself, why me and not the others?” …Who has known the mind
of the Lord? Or who has been his counselor? (Romans, 11:34.
Today’s second reading).
~Rev. Edward J Smith
