THE FOURTEENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
July 5th, 2015
TODAY’S GOSPEL TELLS US . . .
Mark 6:1-6 here does a prophet have honor? Where is a prophet heard? Not among kin or in familiar surroundings; not among those who lack faith. Herein lies the paradox: to have faith, we must be familiar with Jesus. The very stumbling block for the people in the Gospel is the necessary stepping-stone to hear Jesus' word and accept him. Faith-filled familiarity frees us to see ourselves as we are (those in need of Jesus) and to see Jesus as he truly is… a prophet with power to save.
When the sabbath came he began to teach in the synagogue, and many who heard him were astonished. (Gospel)
St. Anthony Parish Prayer for the Week
O God, we love you above all things, with our whole hearts and souls, because you are all good and worthy of all our love. We will love our neighbors as ourselves in honor of our for love of you. We forgive all who have injured us and we ask pardon of all whom we have injured. Amen.

“By following Jesus’ new Commandment of unselfish love, our lives can be richly fulfilling, and marked by joy and
peace. In contrast, treating others as either means or obstacles to one’s self-serving goals, while never learning to love generously, is an
impoverished way to live.” — Cardinal Daniel N. DiNardo [Former] Chairman, Committee
on Pro-Life Activities Statement for Respect Life Month, September 26, 2011

"Damned money! Alas! How many religious did it blind! How many cloistered religious did it deceive! Money is the 'droppings of birds' that blinded the eyes of Tobit." (Tob 2:10-12) — St Anthony of Padua

THE BOOK OF TOBIT
Written & Presented by
Keri Allen
July 23-August 27
Thursdays 9:30-11:30 Holy Spirit Church
God Hears Your Prayers! The Book of Tobit tells a beautiful story about ordinary people devoted to their family, their faith, and living God’s will. They do their best to live a righteous and peaceful life, but just as we do today they encounter storms along the way. Tobit relates the trials he and his family experience and how God heard his prayers by sending an angel to heal and protect him. Join us to learn how God not only hears our prayers, but sends us the help we need to restore our faith and bring peace into our lives and our hearts. Homework is optional. No cost, free will offering. Nursery available upon request. To register go to: www.proclaimmyword.org or e-mail [email protected]
