THE NORMAL HOURS OF 8:30AM TO 4:30PM

WILL RESUME MONDAY, JULY 8TH.

SEE YOU IN THE EUCHARIST

I will meet you at the tableI will meet you in His heartIn the company of angelsIn the place where all things startWe receive each other’s presenceWe are all made one in HimThough I cannot see your faceI will see you in the Eucharist

Come and meet me at the tableCome and meet me in His heartWe’ll be singing with the angelsEach man playing his own partIn the symphony of praisesWe will join our song with HisThough I cannot hear your voiceWe’ll be speaking in the Eucharist

Do not be afraidDo not be afraidDo not be afraid

When we gather at the tableWe are closer than our breathEven nearer than the angelsWhen we touch His very fleshDwelling in each other’s presenceI will hold you close insideEvery soul in heaven and earthNow is present in the Body of Christ

Do not be afraidDo not be afraidDo not be afraid

We are pilgrims on a journeyWe are headed for the throneCarried on the wings of angelsOh we do not walk aloneAll our prayers we lay before HimAnd His grace will pave the wayTo lead us to our one true homeWhere we’ll see each other face to face

And do not be afraidDo not be afraidDo not be afraid

I will meet youI will hear youI will hold youI will receive youI will see you in the Eucharist...

Divine Healer, God of Wholeness, we place these parishioners in Your hands; we ask for healing, but also for acceptance of their illness and of Your holy plan. Help them and us to embrace whatever You have in mind for them. Support them in their anxieties, fears, pains, and the frustrations of their illness. Support them with the strength of the Holy Spirit. We ask this in the name of Jesus, compassionate healer of those in need of health and hope. Amen.

WELCOME… GOODBYE

Effective July 1, 2019, Fr. Elias Mwesigye, will become the new Parochial Vicar of St. Susanna. He was recently ordained and is excited about coming here. We welcome him to the parish community and look forward to the gifts and talents he will bring.

At the same time, we are sad that Fr. Eric Roush will be leaving us. He has blessed us for three years with his faith, his gentleness and compassion. Archbishop Schnurr has assigned him to be the pastor of Holy Trinity Parish in Norwood. You will have an opportunity to say goodbye to Fr. Eric at a simple reception on June 30th after the 11:15am Mass. May God bless Fr. Elias, Fr. Eric and St. Susanna Parish in this time of transition.

THIS WEEK, FROM THE ST. SUSANNA VINCENTIANS...

In today’s Gospel we see how Jesus, on His way to Jerusalem, sent “messengers on ahead of Him.” To be the messengers of God, we must know well what it is God wants to say and do through us, as He sends us out to bring His love to others.

In the past quarter, you were the “messenger of God” in bringing hope to the poor. Your gifts enabled the Society of St. Vincent de Paul to assist local families by providing food, help with utility and rent bills, car repairs and other necessities. Thank You!

All volunteers need to register individually to participate through our easy online sign-up process no later than July 8th by visiting: www.stsusanna.org/habitatforhumanity.

Thirteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time (C)1 Kgs 19:16b, 19–21Gal 5:1, 13–18Lk 9:51–62

One characteristic of Luke’s Gospel is that he arranges most of Christ’s preaching within a

long journey from Galilee to Jerusalem. Jesus leaves behind his home in the north and travels south toward Jerusalem, where his passion and death await. The steady focus on his true homeland is shown in this early Christian bas-relief. What better thing to put on a tomb than Jesus’ focus on heaven!

A farmer who plows a furrow or tills between rows of crops can’t be looking back at what he has already plowed or he will inevitably stray off course. He keeps looking forward toward the end of the line. In the same way, we can’t constantly look back at the pleasures, opportunities, and goods we have left behind to follow our Lord.

Elisha burns his plow in sacrifice and also to express his definitive yes to the call. Like an explorer who burns his ships upon reaching a new land, his acceptance of Elijah’s invitation to be a prophet of Yahweh is total; there’s no turning back.

As disciples of Jesus, we’re called to a yes with no ifs, ands, or buts. Contradictory as this may seem, this is true freedom. Freedom isn’t doing what we want when we want. That’s actually slavery to our whims and constantly changing passions. We go nowhere and build nothing. Real freedom is having an unbounded capacity to recognize the truth, choose what’s good, and live in the beauty of a life directed toward where we’ve set our hearts and minds.

—Fr. Mark Haydu, LC

Jesus said, “No one who sets a hand to the plow and looks to what was left behind is fit for the kingdom of God.”

Luke 9:62

For ReflectionIs there anything in life that distracts me from my goal to be a follower of Christ?Would it do me good to rid myself of clutter and distractions in order to follow Jesus more freely?
