July 15, 2018 15 th Sunday in Ordinary Time Page 3 has nothing to offer the mission of Jesus. Thinking more creatively, one can see that joined with faith and love perhaps Peter had everything he needed. Jesus sends you as well. As you take stock of your own talents, consider how they might be offered as a gift to others. Maybe you already have more than enough. Jesus summoned the Twelve and began to send them out two by two and gave them authority over unclean spirits. The Twelve drove out many demons, and they anointed with oil many who were sick and cured them. - Mark 6:7, 13 He summoned the Twelve and began to send them out two by two. This Sunday we read the first sending of the Apostles to preach, teach, and heal. For many of us, it can be easy to think we just don t have enough to be disciples and evangelists ourselves. We don t have enough education and training. We don t have enough experience talking to people about Jesus. We don t pray enough. We don t have enough faith. If you look at the Apostles in today s Gospel reading, they didn t have much either. No food, no sack, no money in their belts. They didn t plan out their itinerary or book their lodging in advance. From what we know of the Apostles, they were not the religiously trained and educated ones. They were fisherman, tax collectors, and political activists. But what does being a fisherman require? Someone like Peter needed a strong work ethic to rise at strange hours. He needed patient calm to wait for the catch. Once ashore, he needed a savvy mind to fetch a good price for his labors. As Peter became a fisher of men, he would need diligence to persevere through the hard journeys, long days, and persecution that awaited him. He would need patient calm with those who disagreed with him. As the leader of the Apostles, he would need a savvy mind to navigate challenges facing the early Church. From one perspective, Peter The Rite of Christian Initiation (RCIA) If you ve been coming to Mass for a while, but are not Catholic, we invite you to look deeper into the Catholic faith. Come meet some believers who love the Lord and would consider it a privilege to get to know you. Our parish will soon begin a set of sessions to share with others the truths of Catholicism and the fellowship of our church family. We invite you to learn what Catholics believe in an open and welcoming environment. These sessions also are opportunities for you to ask those perplexing and difficult questions you may have about the Church. Current Catholics who want to strengthen their faith, or want to volunteer to serve as sponsors to those wanting to enter the faith, are also welcome to attend. Sessions will begin Sunday, August 15, 8:45-10:15 AM in Theodore Hall, 6330 Vicksburg St. Feel free to join us.

July 15, 2018 15 th Sunday in Ordinary Time Page 6 St. Dominic Parish Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration Chapel Prayer to Begin Eucharistic Adoration, Part 3 Unworthy though I am, I come to behold Jesus Christ in the Sacrament of Charity, moved by the certainty that anyone who sees Jesus sees the Father. What impels me to this place is the same hunger that sent the starving Prodigal Son back to the embrace of his father. I come begging for a new beginning. Like those present at the feeding of the five thousand, I have nothing to offer you except my nothingness. But I look to your Son and join him in the thanks he offers to you.
