Sunday Mass Obligation Reminder In gratitude for the providential lessening of the danger to public health caused by the pandemic and for the good of souls Archbishop J. Michael Miller reinstated the Sunday Mass obligation beginning Saturday, July 17, 2021. In His Grace’s words: “This obligation is not a burden, for it brings life to our spirit and nourishes our relationship with Jesus Christ.” As has always been the case, anyone with a “serious reason” or “grave cause” is excused from this obligation. In the case of the coronavirus pandemic, such reasons include: anyone who is sick, symptomatic, or has been

recently exposed to the coronavirus; anyone with significant health risk factors that

requires them to avoid public spaces anyone who cares for someone with significant

risk factors; anyone who cannot attend Mass through no fault

of their own because of frailty or old age.

For security reasons there are no public washrooms available at this time.

MESSAGE FROM THE REC TOR

Handling wisely the challenges from summer “Slip on a shirt, slap on a hat, slop on some sunscreen!!!” The respected website preventcancernow.ca offers us this effective guide borrowed from Australia about how to wisely handle harmful UV rays. Summer time also brings skimpy and revealing clothing styles. Such clothing can bring challenges to the way we think and act chastely. Chastity simply means faithfulness and fruitfulness within marriage and abstinence from sex outside of marriage. This is the recipe from God for healthy and happy living. The Catholic church has a very helpful guide towards protecting our chastity when tempted. It is simply “Pray, Study and Act” Regarding prayer... we have the saints to help us appreciate the goodness of living chastely. Saint John Paul II blessed us with his teachings on the theology of the body and his heart-moving talks at the various World Youth Day gatherings. Saint Francis of Assisi offered us his stirring example of poverty of spirit and simplicity. Saint Therese of Lisieux writes about the pure and beautiful love of Jesus that our heart seeks. And Saint Maria Goretti shows us the goodness of purity and forgiveness. Regarding study… check out the website catholic.com under the “chastity” section. Also, a Catholic website that has helped many people is reclaimsexualhealth.com Regarding action... try to develop a daily plan to keep busy and balanced in work, recreation and sleep. Pray each day the rosary in one of its many forms. Ask the Blessed Virgin Mary to help give you custody of the heart i.e. a deep ongoing focus on God’s plan and promises to you. Fr. Galvon

PRAYER FOR THE HEART OF A CHILD

Mary, Mother of God, preserve in me the heart of a child, pure and transparent as a spring. Obtain for me a simple heart

That does not brood over sorrows; A heart generous in giving itself,

Quick to feel compassion; A faithful, generous heart

that forgets no favor and holds no grudge.

Give me a humble, gentle heart Loving without asking any return;

A great indomitable heart That no ingratitude can close, No indifference can weary; A heart tortured by its desire for the glory of Jesus Christ:

Pierced by His love With a wound that will heal

only in heaven. - Fr. Leonce de Grandmaison
