2 August 19-20th Sunday in Ordinary Time Wise Fools Back high school, we learned that the word sophomore came from Greek words meaning "wise fools." The idea was that second year students think they knows it all now, but still have a lot to learn. The first two readings invite us to a banquet of wisdom. Jesus says he himself is the way to understanding God's will; he gives himself as food and drink for eternal life. So how will we accept these invitations to partake of the Wisdom of God? One way is to read the scriptures every day, taking time to think and pray about what you read. Don't do all the talking; give God the chance to be heard. The Gospels are especially good "food" because of all the examples Jesus gave in his sermons and parables. Listen to the readings and homily at Mass. The preacher may have some insights that make you think. Receive Communion often to be fed with the living Bread. The Church has always taught that we are fed with both the word and the Eucharist. If we want to grow in God's wisdom, we have to exercise our faith. If you have a friend or relative who is a good example of faith, talk with that person about how you experience God or your lack of experiences. You could offer to be a sponsor for someone in the RCIA, and help someone else's faith to grow. Your parish or diocese may also have on-line resources or discussions. God never intrudes on anyone by force. To grow in God's Wisdom, we have to accept it. Ask God for real food and you won't be disappointed. But be patient. God only gives what we are ready to receive.

August 30 6 to 9 p.m. St. Joseph Catholic Academy th St. Kenosha Received from St. Vincent de Paul Society Dear St. Anne parishioners, Thank you for hosting another Bundle Sunday. As always you help us to continue to assist those in need with your valued gift. May the Lord bless you as you have blessed His poor. Help us Help Others Do you or someone you know have a vehicle to donate? If you donate it to the St. Vincent de Paul Society you will greatly increase funding for those in need. The average vehicle donated generates about $600 in net proceeds. That $600 could help someone in need meet their monthly rent payment, provide food for their family, or pay for critical nutrition for an infant. You may also have a sizable income tax deduction for a charitable donation. The St. Vincent de Paul National Vehicle Donation Program will make the process simple, and the money generated by the sale will be distributed locally. What a great opportunity to help those in need in the spirit of St. Vincent. For more information about this program, please go to the St. Vincent de Paul Kenosha website at: stvincentdepaulkenosha.com/2011/05/25/support-thenational-vehicle-donation-program/ THAT MAN IS YOU is a new MEN'S PROGRAM starting on Thursday, September 13th.
