BEARING FRUIT
The plantings in our gardens weeks ago are already bearing
fruit. We have vegetables aplenty (we hope), enough to
share (we are urged). All because of the goodness and
bounty of God.
How is my life rooted in “rich soil”, tilled and nourished
by God?
What are the “fruits” of my life, of my very self that I
can share?
How can I nourish life (God’s goodness) in my family,
in my neighborhood, in my place at work?

Pope's Intention for July 2020
Pope Francis releases a video message accompanying his prayer intention for July, which this month is for families that they be “accompanied with love, respect and guidance."
The full text of his intention: The family ought to be protected. It faces many dangers: the fast pace of life, stress... Sometimes, parents forget to play with their children.The Church needs to encourage families and stay at their side, helping them to discover ways that allow them to overcome all of these difficulties. Let us pray that today’s families may be accompanied with love, respect and guidance, and especially, that they may be protected by the State.
