Turn the Other Cheek Question: I recently heard you give a good explanation of turning the other cheek. Could you summarize that here? Answer: The teaching of Bishop Robert Barron, who explains that Jesus solution to withstanding the scorn or attacks of others involves a kind of third way. One reaction to the attacks of another is to strike back and thereby become like the one who attacks. Another reaction is to flee or acquiesce to the unjust incursion of another. But, as the good bishop says, neither solution is good, or what Jesus teaches. Rather, to turn the other cheek is to stand your ground, look your opponent in the eye and say, in effect, I will not become like you and enter your world of scorn. Neither will I flee from you and supply you that victory. I will stay here, as I am, and make you confront the injustice of you own stance; that you cannot ultimately prevail over me by making me like you, or making me flee. This is fundamentally the stance employed by the Civil Rights movement and other forms of nonviolent resistance to injustice.

The first Friday Mass intention is in memory for all the names listed on the plaques. FRIDAY S TABLE This very important outreach program continues to be a great success. Due to your generosity and twelve dedicated teams of volunteers, we are serving an average of 75 meals every Friday. We have seen an increase in the number of families with children attending Friday s Table. One on hand, it is great to see the children, and on the other hand, it demonstrates the expanding need for this service. You will notice a new coin box at the main entrance of the church dedicated to the Friday s Table program, and of course you will always find an envelope in the pew. BINGO WORKERS: There will be bingo on August 6, 2016 HOLY TRINITY MASS INTENTIONS: As announced, the Mass schedule changes will take effect the first weekend in September.
