Pope Francis Pope Francis: General Audience Dear Brothers and Sisters: In our continuing catechesis for this Holy Year of Mercy, we now consider Jesus miracle of restoring sight to a blind man on the way to Jericho (Lk 18:35-43). The blind man, forced to beg for a living, can represent all those disadvantaged persons who, even today, find themselves on the periphery of our societies. The prosperous city of Jericho, for its part, evokes the conquest of the Promised Land and Moses stern warning that, once settled, God s People were not to harden their hearts or be blind to the presence of those in need (cf. Dt 15). Unlike the crowd, Jesus does not ignore the blind man or try to silence his cries. He stops, turns the eyes of all to the blind man, and, acknowledging his faith, restores his sight. Saint Luke tells us that the man, now healed, became a disciple of Jesus. Not only, but the crowd too now sees; their eyes are opened to the meaning of this encounter of mercy, and they give praise to God (v. 43). During this Jubilee of Mercy may we too open our eyes and hearts to God s love for the poor and to the gift of healing that he offers to all who turn to him in faith. Church Humor If you are interested in becoming Catholic, if you want to learn more about the Catholic faith, or if you would like information on the RCIA process, please contact: Randy Bertrand at or Parish Office at Prayer Service A special prayer service for parents grieving from miscarriages or stillbirth will be held in church on July 2, 2016 after 9:00 am First Saturday Mass.

5 Parish Initiative Our Catholic Church is universal, but it is in our own parish that each of us experiences our faith most directly and intimately. The local parish is where we enter the Church, and grow closer to God through the Mass and Sacraments. The Diocese is the sum of its parishes, schools, and institutions. The Centennial Campaign: Building Our Future Together aims to benefit the parishes so they may benefit the communities they serve. Of every dollar raised up to our goal of $690,000, 30% will return to our parish to help us attend to the exteriors of our again buildings. Additionally, 50% of every dollar raised above our goal will also return to St. Joseph s. There is one who scatters, yet increases more, and there is one who withholds more than is right, but it leads to poverty. The generous soul will be made rich, and he who waters will also be watered himself. (Proverbs 11:24-25) Centennial Campaign: Building Our Future Together diolaf.org ~
