My deepest thanks to all parishioners of St. Timothy parish for all you do to increase charity and to take on sacrifice.
Fr. Ed
I walked into the grocery store not particularly
interested in buying groceries. I wasn't hungry.
The pain of losing my husband of 57 years was
still too raw. And this grocery store held so
many sweet memories.
He often came with me and almost every time
he'd pretend to go off and look for something
special. I knew what he was up to. I'd always
spot him walking down the aisle with the three
yellow roses in his hands.
He knew I loved yellow roses. With a heart filled
with grief, I only wanted to buy my few items and leave, but even
grocery shopping was different since he had passed on.
Shopping for one took time, a little more thought than it had for
two.
Standing by the meat, I searched for the perfect small steak and
remembered how he had loved his steak.
Suddenly a woman came beside me. She was blonde, slim and
lovely in a soft green pantsuit. I watched as she picked up a
large package of T-bones, dropped them in her basket..
Hesitated, and then put them back. She turned to go and once
again reached for the pack of steaks.
She saw me watching her and she smiled. “My husband loves T-
bones, but honestly, at these prices, I don't know.” I swallowed
the emotion down my throat and met her pale blue eyes.
“My husband passed away eight days ago,” I told her. Glancing
at the package in her hands, I fought to control the tremble in my
voice.. “Buy him the steaks. And cherish every moment you
have together.”
She shook her head and I saw the emotion in her eyes as she
placed the package in her basket and wheeled away.
I turned and pushed my cart across the length of the store to the
dairy products. There I stood, trying to decide which size milk I
should buy. A Quart, I finally decided and moved on to the ice
cream. If nothing else, I could always fix myself an ice cream
cone.
I placed the ice cream in my cart and looked down the aisle
toward the front. I saw first the green suit, then recognized the
pretty lady coming towards me. In her arms she carried a
package. On her face was the brightest smile I had ever seen. I
UPDATE FROM FR. GREGG ELLIOT
I was thrilled to get your call a few weeks ago. It's so good to know I'm still in your thoughts and prayers. Whidbey Island is located
in the Puget Sound just off the coast of Seattle. My daughter's home is located on a bluff near one of the small bays that jut into the
island. The view is great. Will get started fishing when we finish moving in. My address is 8369 Sandy Hook Drive, Clinton WA
98236. I miss not actively serving in a parish; but my health keeps me from it, but with more convalescence, I may be able to do a
Mass once or twice a week. Please give my regards to all the staff and the parishioners.
God bless you.
Fr. Gregg
would swear a soft halo encircled her blonde hair
as she kept walking toward me, her eyes holding
mine.
As she came closer, I saw what she held and tears
began misting in my eyes. “These are for you,” she
said and placed three beautiful long-stemmed
yellow roses in my arms. “When you go through
the line, they will know these are paid for.” She
leaned over and placed a gentle kiss on my cheek,
then smiled again. I wanted to tell her what she'd
done, what the roses meant, but still unable to
speak, I watched as she walked away as tears
clouded my vision.
I looked down at the beautiful roses nestled in the green tissue
wrapping and found it almost unreal. How did she know?
Suddenly the answer seemed so clear. I wasn't alone.
Oh, you haven't forgotten me, have you? I whispered, with tears
in my eyes. He was still with me, and she was his angel.
Every day be thankful for what you have and who you are.
Even though I clutch my blanket and growl when the alarm rings.
Thank you, Lord, that I can hear. There are many who are deaf.
Even though I keep my eyes closed against the morning light as
long as possible. Thank you, Lord , that I can see. Many are
blind.
Even though I huddle in my bed and put off rising.. Thank you,
Lord, that I have the strength to rise. There are many who are
bedridden.
Even though the first hour of my day is hectic, when socks are
lost, toast is burned, tempers are short, and my children are so
loud. Thank you, Lord, for my family. There are many who are
lonely.
Even though our breakfast table never looks like the picture in
magazines and the menu is at times unbalanced. Thank you,
Lord, for the food we have. There are many who are hungry.
Even though the routine of my job often is monotonous. Thank
you, Lord, for the opportunity to work. There are many who have
no job.
Even though I grumble and bemoan my fate from day to day and
wish my circumstances were not so modest. Thank you, Lord,
for life.
BE HAPPY WITH
WHAT YOU HAVE!

THE SAMARITAN INN
The Samaritan Inn is the Christian Care
Center’s Housing Ministry for homeless
children and their parents. It’s a temporary
refuge to help families become self-sufficient
in a safe environment while teaching them life
skills, helping them to set and reach their goals, and providing them
with spiritual guidance and moral support during their residence.
Formerly the Big Bass motel, the property was purchased in 2009
by First Baptist Church of Leesburg with the help of partners in faith
and the support of others. Located on the southwest corner of the
First Baptist Church campus, it’s a unique part of the Christian Care
Center Ministry Village and is the only transitional housing ministry
located in Lake County, Florida.
The Inn first opened its doors – and its heart – to residents in 2010;
today, each of its seventeen rooms is approximately 280 square
feet and can accommodate a married couple with up to two
children. But typically, single mothers with children are the most
frequent applicants. Since the Inn began, it’s been home to sixty-
one families. This is not a same-day emergency shelter. Samaritan
Inn offers both Temporary and Transitional Housing and there is
an application process that can take up to two weeks to complete
and includes a Fingerprint and Background check.
Our Temporary Housing program allows resident to remain at
Samaritan Inn for up to 60 days. They are not required to create a
Personal Case Plan or participate in counseling or faith based
programs- but may do so if they wish to.
Our Transitional Housing program requires all adult residents to
create a Personal Case Plan outlining the goals they expect to
accomplish within the year. Typically, goals include: finding or
continuing employment, completing or advancing education,
achieving financial stability, and furthering spiritual growth. In
additional to their case plan, all adult residents are required to
participate in counseling and other faith based programs. The Inn’s
Family Services Case Manager provides assistance and direction to
the residents as they continuously work on their Case Plan during
their six to twelve month stay in the program.
In addition to the Case Manager, the Director, Resident Manager/
Cook, and many dedicated volunteers are on site. Every evening,
meals are prepared and served in the Inn’s dining room; there’s a
special room with crafts for children, two laundry rooms, and two
computers are available for residents to apply for Medicaid and
other programs.
The First Baptist Church, on whose campus the Inn is located,
provides a wide variety of Bible classes and studies, as well as
three Sunday morning worship services. The Samaritan Inn also
partners with other Christian Care ministries to provide additional
free services on campus. Included are: Financial Counseling,
Emotional Counseling, Christian Parenting classes, and others.
Like all ministries, the Samaritan Inn thrives with the efforts of
volunteers and always needs “good Samaritans” to join the team.
For further information, please call 352-434-1832 or visit
www.christiancarecenter.org.

YEAR OF MERCY PILGRIMAGE TO THE HOLY DOOR
TWO OPPORTUNITIES
BASILICA OF THE NATIONAL SHRINE OF
MARY, QUEEN OF THE UNIVERSE, ORLANDO, FLORIDA
Pope Francis has given us an extraordinary
year to receive God's forgiveness for our
sins and all due punishment (purification) in
purgatory. The Legion of Mary recently took
this pilgrimage and said they had powerful experiences of God
love and forgiveness. Pilgrimages are filled with prayer,
confession, communion, and the journey through the Holy Door.
Two pilgrimages are scheduled: August 22 and October 6. To

INTERESTED IN BECOMING CATHOLIC? MISSING SACRAMENTS?
Each year a process called RCIA—
the Rite of Christian Initiation—offers
an opportunity for people who are
unbaptized (not Christians) or those
who are Protestants to become
Catholic. It also allows baptized Catholics who missed their first
communion and/or their confirmation to complete their
sacraments of initiation. If you or anyone you know might be
interested in the RCIA process, please contact David at
[email protected], 352-753-0989.

SPONSORS FOR RCIA
Adults who are becoming Catholics need Godparents to walk this
journey with them. In the RCIA process, Godparents are called
“sponsors”. If you went through RCIA yourself or have been a
sponsor in the past, please pray to see if God is calling you to
serve in this role at. St. Timothy. If you are interested and would
like to know the specifics, please contact David at
[email protected], 352-753-0989.

RCIA TEAM
As we prepare for next year’s RCIA process, we are speaking
with parishioners who might be interested in joining the team. If
you served as an RCIA team member either here or in another
parish in the past, and you are interested in ministering in this
capacity again, please contact David at

SAINTS OF MERCY, SHOW US THE WAY
During this Jubilee Year of Mercy, how do we become
merciful like our heavenly father and also how do we
open our hearts to receive God’s mercy in our lives?
The saints of the Church can be our guide! They lived
during complex times that challenged them in many
ways. They overcame daily struggles with faith. We will
highlight saints of mercy who blazed trails showing us
the path to heaven with merciful hearts. They
demonstrated works of mercy, which often requires hard work – as the
name implies. They depended on God’s love and grace to make this
possible. We hope you will enjoy reading their stories of mercy and
reflecting on how you can follow their footsteps into the arms of Jesus
Christ.
St. John Vianney, Feast Day is August 4
This saint reminds us to receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation often.
Pope Francis has said, “In the Sacrament of Reconciliation, God forgives
our sins, which he truly blots out. For every penitent, it will be a source of
true interior peace.”
St. John Vianney was born on May 8, 1786 near Lyon, France. He was
one of six children born of devout peasant Catholic parents.
When he was four years old, the French Revolution persecuted
Catholics. The Vianney family traveled to neighboring farms to participate
in the celebration of Mass. When John was 20, he left the family farm to
enter a Church school. He struggled with his lessons. It was only
because of his deepest desire to become a priest that he persevered.
At 27, John was drafted into Napoleon’s armies. He fell ill before his
group left. The second time he was drafted, he went into a church to
pray, and fell behind the group leaving for war. A young man volunteered
to lead him back to the group but instead took him to the village of Les
Noes, where other deserters also gathered.
While there John established a school for village children. He was hidden
from the local police by a widow named Claudine Fayot.
In 1810 amnesty was granted to all deserters. Anthony returned to his
studies, although it was challenging for him due to the many political
disruptions he had faced in his quest to be ordained.
He was finally ordained in 1815.
In 1818, John was appointed parish priest of a small town named Ars.
Once there he realized that years of political and religious unrest had
taken its toll on Catholics. Ignorance abounded. Sundays were no
different from any other day, with dancing in the taverns and working in
the fields. John preached against such practices in the pulpit.
By 1827 his reputation began to spread, and by 1855 approximately
20,000 individuals sought his counsel annually. He spent 11 to 12 hours
in the confessional during winter and 16 to 18 hours in the confessional
during the summer months.
At times, he would encounter penitents who were discouraged and
doubtful about God’s forgiveness due to their awareness that they would
sin again. St. John would then offer the following wonderful and inspiring
response: “The good Lord knows everything even before you confess.
He already knows that you will sin again and yet he forgives you. How
great is the love of our God who even strives to voluntarily forget the
future in order to forgive us.”
How can we follow St. John Vianney’s example to encourage
participation in the Sacrament of Reconciliation?
Starting with your own life, examine your conscience to reflect on the
ways you have distanced yourself from God and others. Seek God’s
forgiveness through the Sacrament of Penance and experience’s God’s
love and peace in your heart. The Basilica of the National Shrine of Mary,
Queen of the Universe, located at 8300 Vineland Ave. in Orlando offers
the Sacrament of Penance (also called Confession) Monday through
Saturday from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and Sunday: 1:00 p.m. to 5:00
p.m. Let others know about the healing mercy of Jesus Christ that is
available to anyone who seeks the Lord.
