Our regular Mass schedule of Saturdays at 5:00 PM, and Sundays at 7:30, 9:00, and 11:30 AM will continue without interruption. Sunday s Reflection We have stated previously that St. Paul had a way with words. He was able to take a very complex concept and summarize it in a few words and phrases. In today s Second Reading from Second Corinthians, Paul says simply, we walk by faith, not by sight. (2 Corinthians 5: 7) That statement by Paul has inspired hymns and treatises. Yet, it is in reality what we are all about as Catholics and Christians. There is no question that it is one of the most difficult notions for us as Catholics and Christians to grasp and accept. The word translated as walk can also be translated as live. Thus, we could say We live by faith, and not by sight. This was a popular and consistent theme for St. Paul, his point being that we need to build our lives around the eternal prospects, not those of this world. In this society, things seem so important to us. However, the truth is that they have no eternal significance. That is an ongoing message in the concept of stewardship basically who we are and how we live is more important than what we own and what we may appear to be. That can be tough for us. The late Billy Graham, who died earlier this year, was fond of saying, My home is in Heaven. I am just traveling through this world. St. Paul would agree with that attitude.

4 J o i n U s i n C o m m u n i t y Altar Flower Donations A Father s Day Prayer Let us praise those fathers who have striven to balance the demands of work, marriage, and children with an honest awareness of both joy and sacrifice. Let us praise those fathers who, lacking a good model for a father, have worked to become a good father. Let us praise those fathers who by their own account were not always there for their children, but who continue to offer those children, now grown, their love and support. Let us pray for those fathers who have been wounded by the neglect and hostility of their children. Let us praise those fathers who, despite divorce, have remained in their children's lives. Let us praise those fathers whose children are adopted, and whose love and support has offered healing. Let us praise those fathers who, as stepfathers, freely choose the obligation of fatherhood and earned their step children's love and respect. Let us praise those fathers who have lost a child to death, and continue to hold the child in their heart. Let us praise those men who have no children, but cherish the next generation as if they were their own. Let us praise those men who have "fathered" us in their role as mentors and guides. Let us praise those men who are about to become fathers; may they openly delight in their children. And let us praise those fathers who have died, but live on in our memory and whose love continues to nurture us. ~ Kirk Loadman Home Communion Eucharistic Ministers bring Holy Communion to homebound or hospitalized parishioners.
