2 If We Die With The Lord We Shall Live With The Lord THE WEEK AHEAD When my Father was dying twenty-two years ago, one of my relatives said to me in anger, So much for our Prayers. I didn t feel that way. Although I was saddened by my father s impending death, I didn t give up on praying. To this day, I believe my faith and my prayers helped my Father through the many months that he suffered. I believe God gave me the strength to see him through this ordeal. My Mother reinforced this when she told me I couldn t have gotten through this without my faith. In the Gospel today the synagogue official and the woman who was sick for twelve years refused to give up. They believed that God would help them even when the crowd says what s the use? Their faith is rewarded in the healing they asked for. Jesus reassures them not to be afraid and to have faith. Faith allows us to be there for the sick and to comfort them even when healing seems impossible. Jesus promised us that He will be with us always even in suffering and death. In life and in death we are the Lord s. Fr. John L. Greene MEN S CLUB MEETING Our Summer Meeting will be held on Monday, July 2nd. Doors open at 6:00pm.
