FOURTEENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
First Reading: Zechariah 9:9-10 This is a prophecy of the coming of the Messiah to Jerusalem. He will come, not as a King, but as a humble savior, riding on an ass.
Second Reading: Romans 8:9, 11-13 Contrasting “flesh and spirit,” Paul urges that all who live for material things abandon the temptations of the flesh and rise to life in the “Spirit.”
Gospel: Matthew 11:25-30 Jesus speaks lovingly and gently when he invites all those who are weary and burdened with life to seek relief and respite in him. He says, “Your souls will find rest, for my yoke is easy and my burden light.” ©1999 Bon Venture Services, Inc.

The Intercessor’s Corner: St. Benedict of Nursia
Born to a wealthy Italian family, St. Benedict was educated in Rome during the barbarian invasions – a time of division, chaos, and failing morals. Dismayed at the rampant immorality
of his peers, he fled Rome and lived as a hermit in the mountains. Attracted by his holiness, many people sought him out. St. Benedict went on to found twelve monasteries in Subiaco and the famous Monte Cassino, which became a center of holiness, learning, and culture.
Thank You for your generosity to Your Parish!
In the Catholic
Church, a bishop is an ordained minister who holds the fullness of the Sacrament of Holy Orders. Bishops teach doctrine, govern Catholics in their jurisdictions, & represent the Church.
In addition to filling the need for leadership in a family as big as the Church, bishops link us to the Apostles. The Apostles chose disciples to fill their office after them, and passed on to them the authority and faith they had received from Christ. This spiritual treasure was passed from bishop to bishop by consecration in an unbroken line up to today. This way, the faith would be available in every age to the rest of the Church.
Share Your Faith! In this time of uncertainty, followers of Jesus know that worry is unnecessary. We know God wants us to experience His peace & share it with others. Try these tips to help others lean on God:
Go deep into God’s love. It is ours today, tomorrow, and forever. “... Good indeed is the Lord, His mercy endures forever, His faithfulness lasts through every generation” (Psalm 100:5). Experiencing Sacraments, reading Scripture, and spending time in prayer are keys to growing in God’s love and sharing it. Share your confidence in God’s care. Jesus promised that God will give us all we need, “Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you shall eat or what you shall drink, nor about your body, what you shall put on ... your heavenly Father knows that you need them all” (Matthew 6:25, 32). Stress stems from the absence of certainty and control over our future. When we put ourselves in God’s care, we can feel peace. Demonstrate trust in God. While we may not be completely free from worry, St. Paul wrote, “Have no anxiety at all, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, make your requests known to God. Then the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:6-7).
