FROM THE PASTOR S DESK Dear Parishioners and Friends of St. Francis de Sales Parish, The summer season is here in full swing, and, believe it or not, Independence Day is this Monday! Traditionally, the 4th of July is a time for picnics, celebrations and fireworks. As we partake in these activities, let s remember to take some time to reflect on the values our nation holds dear: freedom, equality and justice. Let s remember to pray for the grace we need to promote those values. The following is a prayer from the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops: Gracious and loving God, let your Spirit be with us today. Hear our prayers, and increase in us the will to follow your Son Jesus. Help us to draw on the resources of our faith as we use the opportunities of our democracy to shape a society more respectful of the life, dignity, and rights of the human person, especially the poor and vulnerable. We ask this through Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God forever and ever. Amen. As we celebrate our independence, let us thank God for the many gifts he has bestowed upon our nation. May we use our gifts wisely to care for those in need, to promote justice for all, and to bring about peace in this world. Have a Happy 4th of July! God s Blessings, Fr. Jim Schuerman Queridos Miembros de la Parroquia de San Francisco de Sales, Ya estamos gozando del verano, y este lunes celebraremos el Día de Independencia. En este país, el 4 de Julio es un tiempo de festividades y celebraciones. Al participar en estas actividades, debemos de reflexionar sobre los valores que nuestra nación estime: la libertad, la igualdad, y la justicia. Pidamos por la gracia que necesitamos para promover estos valores. La siguiente oración es de la Conferencia de Obispos Católicos de los Estados Unidos: Amado y bondadoso Dios, permite que tu Espíritu nos acompañe el día de hoy. Escucha nuestra plegaria, y acrecienta en nosotros el deseo de ser seguidores de tu Hijo, Jesús. Ayúdanos a recurrir a los recursos de nuestra fe al hacer uso de las oportunidades que nos ofrece nuestra democracia para moldear una sociedad más respetuosa de la vida, la dignidad y los derechos de la persona humana, especialmente del pobre y del vulnerable. Te lo pedimos por Jesucristo, tu Hijo, que vive y reina contigo en la unidad del Espíritu Santo, un Dios por los siglos de los siglos, Amén. Al celebrar la independencia de nuestra nación, demos gracias a Dios por su bondad. Que usamos los dones que Él nos ha dado para ayudar a los necesitados, para promover la justicia para todos, y para establecer la paz en este mundo. Happy 4th of July! Que Dios los bendiga, Padre Jim Schuerman LAKELAND NURSING HOME SCHEDULES The Lakeland Nursing Home schedules are in the folder in the chapel entrance.
