CHURCH COLLECTION Sun. June 1st. $ 8, We appreciate the generosity of you, our parishioners. When we have a second collection, people tend to split their usual offering between the two collections, which is understandable given the pressure of our economic times. However we rely on the first collection to keep the parish going and pay the bills. We ask that if there are two collections you include the usual amount you give in the first collection and do the best with the second if you are able to.

4 Page Four FROM THE DESK OF FR. MIZZI-GILI.11 th Sunday in Ordinary Time June 14, 2015 Greetings to All! After a long festive season that is the Easter Season and the other solemnities within and afterwards, we come to again, Ordinary Time in the Church s calendar. Today in Mark s Gospel, we hear the parable of the mustard seed. A mustard seed is the smallest of all seeds, and what is so amazing is that, when the seed dies and the tree grows it becomes the largest of all the plants. What we need to understand is that, the use of the mustard seed parable in the Gospels is for us to understand faith itself. Faith is a gift from God; it is the first of the theological virtues. How can one explain the meaning of faith? Faith has at its core, belief. Belief in the one true God which leads to Hope, which another word to describe Hope is to trust. Trusting in the promises made by God Himself. Faith in of itself enables us to believe in things that we don t see and it enables us to believe in the God we don t see, but yet, still believe. We need to hold on to that virtue. Faith, also, humbles us. It humbles us because the notion or idea that I can do it myself without anyone is not there. It means that we need help. That help comes from God through Jesus Christ our Lord. As it has been stated, When we walk by faith, not by sight the hidden depths of things become apparent. The Collect ( the opening prayer) needs to be our prayer not just this week but always. So pray with me, O God, strength of those who hope, graciously hear our pleas, and, since without you mortal frailty can do nothing, grant us always the help of your grace, that in following your commands we may please you by our resolve and our deeds. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen. I would like to congratulate our Eighth Grade Students who have graduated this past Friday. You are a blessing to us. May God bless you and keep you, may His Face shine on you always. Amen. God Bless you in high school and may you become good Christian men and women for this world to see. Remember, your second home, here at St. Eugene! God Bless! Buona Domenica! Good Sunday!
