OUR WONDERFUL LEADERS TOOK THEM ON DAILY JOURNEYS LEARNING ABOUT GOD S POWER TO PROVIDE, COMFORT, HEAL, FORGIVE AND LOVE US FOREVER! CENTERING PRAYER GROUP SENT BY GOD In Amos time the vocation of prophet had achieved a very formal status in Israel. The prophets had arisen, originally, to act as God s voice when Israel was no longer led by the spiritual/civil figures known as judges, but by monarchs. Over time, the monarchy had appropriated the offices of priest and prophet, established them into companies, and reserved the right to appoint courtly prophets. Then, as now, when those in power also got to choose who would act as their official conscience, things sometimes went awry. At such times, God raised up prophets from unlikely places, and this is how Amos received his vocation as prophet. In last week s Gospel we heard how Jesus was raised up as God s anointed from a place many viewed as unlikely. As we continue to discern our own vocation as baptized disciples, we can be assured that we are, in Paul s words, chosen, destined in accord with the purpose of the One who accomplishes all things according to the intention of his will (Ephesians 1:11). Copyright J. S. Paluch Co. DID YOU KNOW? Safeguard the Children The Centering Prayer Group will take summer vacation through July and August. All are welcome when we begin again September 16th. Our group meets Wednesday evenings at Holy Redeemer Convent. Please call (818) for details. Children s Liturgy of the Word This ministry provides appropriate scripture readings and reflections for our young minds during the 8:30 AM Mass at St James. The priest dismisses the children before the lectors begin the readings and they return after the prayer of the faithful. Summertime safety is key for children and parents All teachers, staff and volunteers in the Archdiocese who work with children must undergo fingerprinting and criminal background checks. Last year alone, the Office of Safeguard the Children trained 30,514 adults and 166,850 children in the VIRTUS Child Sexual Abuse Prevention Programs. If your child is participating in summer activities outside of the Archdiocese, make sure you know if the organization or camp preforms criminal background and reference checks on their staff.
