Love of God should compel us to love the people whom God cherishes. Conversely, work for justice and charity for those in need should be rooted in our love of God. That connection and balance, however, isn t always easy to maintain in our lives. Even in religious orders we find that some Christians are more oriented toward contemplation and prayer, while others are more active in reaching out to those who are oppressed. Today Jesus reminds us of the necessity for both in the life of faith. Archdiocesan Family Prayer Loving and faithful God, through the years the people of our archdiocese have appreciated the prayers and love of Our Lady of Prompt Succor in times of war, disaster, epidemic and illness. We come to you, Father, with Mary our Mother, and ask you to help us in the battle of today against violence, murder and racism. We implore you to give us your wisdom that we may build a community founded on the values of Jesus, which gives respect to the life and dignity of all people. Bless parents that they may form their children in faith. Bless and protect our youth that they may be peacemakers of our time. Give consolation to those who have lost loved ones through violence. Hear our prayer and give us the perseverance to be a voice for life and human dignity in our community. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Our Lady of Prompt Succor, hasten to help us. Mother Henriette Delille, pray for us that we may be a holy family. Amen. St. Catherine of Siena Parish Prayer God, Our Father, we thank you for our parish community of St. Catherine of Siena. Thank you for the many blessings that you have given us, but especially for calling us to serve as disciples of your son, Jesus Christ. As we gather today, we ask that you send your Holy Spirit to guide us in everything that we do. Transform our hearts and lead us closer to you. Help us always to seek to be a parish that is Centered on Christ and Ablaze with Love. We ask all of these things in the name of Jesus, and through the intercession of our Blessed Mother. St. Catherine of Siena, pray for us!

5 Two-Minute Testimony Scripture tells us to always be ready to give an explanation to anyone who asks you for a reason for your hope 1 Pt 3:15. This new monthly bulletin feature provides an opportunity for us to learn from each other s faith journeys. My name is Ryan Anthony Guillot. I am currently a senior at Jesuit High School and a member of the varsity cross country and track and field teams and a variety of other clubs, including Pro-Life Club, National Honors Society, Sodality, Campus Ministry, and Peer Support. I am also a member of Teen Cross and proud to be the St. Catherine of Siena parish CYO president for this school year. Reading this little bit of background information about who I am, you may get the impression that I have a strong faith life; and you would be right. However, I haven t always been this way. Like many, faith and religion for me growing up was just something passed on to me at birth. It wasn t something I could call my own, and I guess I just went with it because I was told to do so. Mass was always a struggle for me. Never understanding what was going on, I often became extremely bored to the point that I remember routinely falling asleep during the homily. Christmas just meant presents, and Easter just meant food and family. In short, religion for me was just a process of going through the motions. But that changed for me when I went on my first CYO trip to Gatlinburg, Tennessee. Walking into the bus on the first day, I felt like a stranger. Many of the people on the trip were people I didn t spend too much time with, and all of our activities on the trip spelunking, mountain hiking, and white water rafting were all new experiences for me. I knew immediately that if I was going to enjoy this trip, I d have to get out of my comfort zone. At first it was difficult, but throughout the trip, I became more and more comfortable with the people I was with and made my way through each activity. Sure, I was branching out of my comfort zone, but I still wasn t strengthening in my faith. We had Mass and different opportunities during the trip to pray, but it was still just a routine to me and things weren t changing. Then, on the last night of the trip, I was told we were going to have adoration. I knew vaguely what adoration was and the concept behind it, but it just sounded boring to me. To my surprise, it is still one of the best experiences of my life. There are no words to describe how I felt, what was going through my head, and just how exactly it changed me. All I know is that I wasn t the same person who walked into that cabin that night. Later that night, while everyone else was asleep, I went outside the cabin to stand under the stars and the moonlight. And pray. Not just an Our Father or a Hail Mary that wasn t my own words. I just looked up at the sky and began to talk to God, to have a conversation with him. Like I said, I can t describe exactly what changed in me that night, but I guess it can be summed up this way: I said yes to God; I chose Him for myself and not because I was being told to do so. From that point on, I began seeing how God was directing me constantly toward Him. My friends got me involved in Sodality at school. I went on the March for Life trip for the first time, and finally the cause for life meant something to me. And most importantly, I joined the cross country team. It may seem odd at first glance to think that cross country could do more for my faith than Sodality or the Pro- Life cause. But it s true because of what it taught me: trust. So much of life can be a struggle for every person in his or her own way, and sometimes you just don t know how you can continue and make it through. Running (for the sake of running) is much the same way. Halfway through a 4-5 mile run, your brain just tells you to stop, that it s not worth it and just doesn t make sense. However, the satisfaction of forcing yourself through that last mile or so of the run and finishing is well worth it. I ve learned to trust my body to push me through the end of a long run or break my personal best in a race in the same way that I trust God to guide me through the struggles of my life. I have learned that I can t get through life on my own, that I need God to guide me to the finish; and in doing so I recognize all that God has done for me. Now, in those moments of pain and suffering, I understand just how blessed I am; and I can t help but look up to God and give thanks to Him through. In fact, before every race, I grab hold of the ground and say a Hail Mary to remind myself that every breath, every step, and every second of my life is not for myself, but for God and his greater glory. That Jesus Christ suffered immensely and died on the cross for me. So for Him, I will run my hardest. 5
