Holy Family Parish MARRIAGE ENCOUNTER WEEKEND God is our shepherd. God s spirit is here to lead and guide us, but it is up to us to hear his voice. Is the Spirit of God leading and guiding you in your marriage? Find out how you can be more open to God plan in your marriage by attending an upcoming Worldwide Marriage Encounter Weekend on August 10-12 in Brookfield, WI; Sept. 14-16 in Crystal Lake, IL or Oct. 26-28 in Brookfield, WI. Early registration is highly recommended. For more information visit our website at: alifetimeoflove.org or call (888) 574-5653. Stewardship Reflection God gave Adam the garden, to tend and keep and work. God gave Abraham, a people, to lead and guide in the ways of righteousness. God gave David a kingdom, to make the Israelites into a holy nation and an example for others to follow. God gave Solomon wisdom, to rule the people fairly. And God gave Mary the child Jesus, to raise and protect him to manhood so that one day he might save the world. We have all been given blessings from God. Family, friends, talents, professions and possessions, all are given to us by God to be used wisely. To be successful, we need only use them for God s glory, returning his gifts to Him with a spirit of gratitude and love. Amen PRAYER FOR RAIN Almighty God, we are in need of rain. We realize now, looking up into the clear, blue sky, what a marvel even the least drop of rain really is. To think that so much water can really fall out of the sky, which now is empty and clear! We place our trust in You. We are sure that You know our needs. But You want us to ask you anyway, to show You that we know we are dependent on you. Look to our dry hills and fields, dear God, and bless them with the living blessing of soft rain. Then the land will rejoice and rivers will sing Your praises, and the hearts of all will be made glad. Amen PRAYER CORNER God, grant healing and peace to the sick of our communities and those who have requested our prayers. Please pray for Linda Vance, Adrienne Kortas, John Felder, Ann Fulcher, Jim Coorough, Sis Jelinek, Elaine Shedivy, Nancy Patzner, Marge Noggle, Janelle Becwar, Virginia Eichmann, Dennis Brandt, Mary Nash, Payton Kay Kazda, Harry Konichek, James Thompson, Rick Sime, Carissa Waldo, Earl White, Michael Hinrich, William Blake, Cathy Vondrum, Mildred Prew, Steve Moris, Bob Waller, Mark Lochner, Tony Teynor, Eileen Sutton, Richard Mergen, Mary Ann Heisz, Sena Breuer, Jerry Matousek, Chris Gremore, Bob Willms and Bill McCoy.
