2 THE TRANSFIGURATION OF THE LORD SAINT JAMES CATHOLIC SCHOOL PARISH LIFE What is Euthanasia? We welcome all new families to the Hardin County area and offer a quality education where students can grow academically, spiritually, and socially. Please visit us at 401 Robinbrooke Blvd., Elizabethtown, KY or online at SCHOOL STARTS THIS WEEK!! First Day Wednesday, August 9 First School Mass of the Year 8:00 a.m. Thursday, August 10 Reflection. The glossary of the Catechism of the Catholic Church defines Euthanasia as an act or omission which, of itself or by intention, causes the death of handicapped, sick, or dying persons with an attempt to justify the act as a means of eliminating suffering. Euthanasia is the taking of human life and thus is prohibited by the fifth commandment. It is a grave offense against the dignity of the human person and also against God, the Author of human life. While motives and circumstances can mitigate one s culpability, they do not change the nature of this murderous act, which must be forbidden. (Catechism, no. 2277) Prayer. Heavenly Father we believe in the dignity of the human person. We pray for the grace to, unite our sufferings with those of Jesus Christ, for the sake of His Body the Church (cf Col. 1:24).

4 THE TRANSFIGURATION OF THE LORD STEWARDSHIP WORSHIP Celebrant/ Homilist Schedule at Saint James But Jesus came and touched them, saying, Rise, and do not be afraid. And when the disciples raised their eyes, they saw no one else but Jesus alone. Matthew 17:7-8 The courage Christ imparted to his first disciples is also imparted to us by virtue of our baptism. Stewardship is an invitation from God. It is an invitation to courageously join in the work of the Church.

Transfiguration of the Lord First Reading: Daniel 7:9-10, Second Reading: 2 Peter 1:16-19 Gospel: Matthew 17:1-9 The word of the Lord is something we hear in church, perhaps without giving it much thought. Peter and Daniel both remind us that the words of Jesus we hear in Scripture are none other than the words of the beloved Son of the Ancient One, who is the Most High over all the earth. We would do well to pay close attention to these words.

Schmidt, FSC August Thérèse of Lisieux has been called the greatest saint of modern times, but some view her spirituality as sentimental and syrupy, Br. Joseph, dispels that notion by contending that Thérèse s little way is really the gospel message a message that can best be understood in the context of her life. Fee: $450, commuters $400 Register online OR call Carol McKean, SCN at VOCATION VIEW+ The Lord will come when we least expect him. Is he knocking now, asking us to serve as a priest or religious? ( Luke 12:49-53)
