PASTORAL CARE OF THE SICK The Sacrament of the Anointing of the

Sick offers prayer for healing, hope,

and strength and is intended for a

Catholic at the beginning of a serious

illness, before surgery or weakened

due to age or chronic infirmity.

Viaticum, “Food for the Journey”, is

Holy Communion with special prayers

for the dying and serves as the “last rites”

for Catholics who are terminally ill and

in the last stages of life.

Our parish clergy are always willing to

visit hospitals to pray with and support

those who are ill. Sacraments in the

hospital are provided by the designated

Catholic Chaplain. Extraordinary

Ministers of Holy Communion

generously make themselves available

to bring Holy Communion to the

home-bound of our parish. Please

contact the Parish Office to arrange

for any of these services.

SACRAMENT OF MARRIAGE In accordance with Archdiocesan

Policy, couples contemplating marriage

are to begin their preparation for the

Sacrament of Marriage at least six

months before their anticipated wedding

date. Call the Parish Office or visit

our website for more information.

SACRAMENT OF BAPTISM Parents and godparents of children to be

baptized are required to participate in

Baptismal preparation sessions. This can

be done even before the birth of the child.

Ordinarily, Baptisms are scheduled in

our parish once each month, following a

weekend Mass for all families celebrating

Baptisms at that time.

NEW PARISHIONERS We are always happy to welcome new

parishioners to Our Lady of the Rosary

Restoration and Maintenance

NINETEENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME

STRENGTHENED BY THE BREAD OF LIFE

Today we resume the “Bread of Life” discourse from John’s Gospel that

began two weeks ago. He makes reference to the Jews’ ancestors who ate

manna in the desert. These days we would think primarily of Israel

wandering in the desert, but faithful Jews would also have known the story

of Elijah that we hear today. Strengthened by food and drink in the desert,

the angel of the Lord sends him on his forty-day and forty-night journey

(the biblical number for a preparation time). Like the food given to Elijah

in the desert, Jesus tells his listeners that he is bread for the life of the world.

It is very important that we not stop listening to Jesus after his promise of

eternal life—a marvelous promise, but this “reward” is not the only reason

we feast on the Bread of Life. We also come to the table to be made strong

for the journey of mission, that the whole world might have life in the full-

ness of Christ. We are compelled, if we have eaten of the bread of life, to go

forth in service to all. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.
