4 5 TH SUNDAY OF PENTECOST Philippians 3: Righteousness from God/Forward in Christ - Brothers and Sisters: Whatever gains I had, these I have come to regard as loss because of Christ. More than that, I regard everything as loss because of the surpassing value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things and I regard them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ and be found in Him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but one that comes through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God based on faith. I want to know Christ and the power of his resurrection and the sharing of his sufferings by becoming like him in his death, if somehow I may attain the resurrection from the dead. Not that I have already obtained this or have already reached the goal; but I press on to make it my own, because Christ Jesus has made me his own. Beloved, I do not consider that I have made it my own; but this one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the heavenly call of God in Christ Jesus. Praise be to God always! Matthew 10:1-7 The Mission & Commissioning of the Twelve - The Apostle writes: Jesus summoned his twelve disciples and gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to cure every disease and every sickness. These are the names of the twelve apostles: first, Simon, also known as Peter, and his brother Andrew; James son of Zebedee, and his brother John; Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew the tax collector; James son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus; Simon the Cananaean, and Judas Iscariot, the one who betrayed him. These twelve Jesus sent out with the following instructions: Go nowhere among the Gentiles, and enter no town of the Samaritans, but go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. As you go, proclaim the good news, The kingdom of heaven has come near. This is the truth. Peace be with you.

Matthew 18:20 POPE FRANCIS INTENTIONS June Universal Social Networks That social networks may work towards that inclusiveness which respects others for their differences. If Jesus went on vacation Sins would not be forgiven - Christ appears in the presence of God for us. (Hebrews 9:24) + + Prayers would not be answered - Christ has given us the privilege of coming boldly to the throne of grace to make our requests. (Hebrews 4:16) + + Worship would not have meaning - We worship through Jesus. (Hebrews 13:15) + + The world would fall apart - He is the one holding the universe together. (Colossians 1:17) When you take a break from your spiritual duties, consider what would happen if Christ did the same.

5 OUR GOAL Greetings from your parish of Saint Jude Maronite Catholic Church, Recently you received a letter from our beloved pastor, Father Bassam M. Saade regarding our current outstanding mortgage. As he concludes his time with us, it our hope to give him one last gift to make our parish debt free. His ministry to us over these nine years has been exemplary. We are grateful for all he has done for us as a community and for us personally. You most probably have been personally helped by his ministry and service and prayers. Our parish council and others in our parish have wholeheartedly taken up the challenge to make this happen before the end of summer, August 1, While we understand that meeting this goal in a brief few months will be challenging, we have already made our commitment and now ask you to join us and make yours. We have had the opportunity to thank Father Bassam for his 25 years of priestly ministry and for his tenure with us as pastor. Now let us offer one more thanks to plan a mortgage burning party before summer ends. We will not be able to do this without your help! Please be receptive to our phone call or visit; or please call to make your leadership gift to this effort. While this gift will be an encouragement to Father Bassam, it will even more importantly take our parish to the next level of involvement by strengthening the involvement and commitment of all of us in this worshipping community and our commitment as Christians. Thank you very much for your consideration!
