ON BECOMING A CATHOLIC Those seeking information about the Catholic Faith are invited to contact the Church Office at PRAYER Novena Tues after 9:00 am Mass Rosary after each weekday Mass Holy Hour Thurs 1:00 pm MISSION STATEMENT We, the parish family of Our Lady of Hope, commit ourselves to continue the mission of Jesus Christ, to proclaim His Gospel, and to love one another as He loves us. We are a welcoming community of faith, guided by the Holy Spirit and centered on God s Word and the Eucharist. Through the Sacraments, prayer, and the stewardship of our God-given gifts, we provide opportunities to grow closer to God and to serve members of the community.

2 Our Lady of Hope This Week WE ARE TO TAKE UP OUR CROSS EACH DAY AND FOLLOW JESUS CHRIST Today s Gospel emphasizes what is required to follow Christ. We must set aside our selfish desires and take up our cross each day to help build up the kingdom of God. This involves sacrifice. Rather than conforming to what is popular in our present age, we must strive to do what is good and pleasing to the Lord each day FAITH Catholic-Publishing and Communications LITURGY OF THE WORD The first reading tells of the inner struggles Jeremiah experienced in being faithful to God s call to serve as a prophet. The second reading exhorts us to lead lives that are holy and pleasing to God. In the Gospel, Jesus teaches that all who desire to lie as one of His disciples must take up their cross and follow Him FAITH Catholic-Publishing and Communications STEWARDSHIP THOUGHT FOR THE TWENTY SECOND SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME In today s second reading, St. Paul exhorts the Romans to total stewardship. Brothers and sisters, he urges,...offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God.
