THERE ARE MANY “CUPS OF WATER” Don’t get caught up in taking this scripture literally. Yes, you may give someone a glass of water, invite the staff of your parish for a meal, hand an apple or a dollar bill to a homeless person, or take a shift in a shelter. But sometimes, what is being asked for is simply a kind word or a helping hand. Seeing an elderly person having trouble and helping them through the crosswalk, calming someone’s toddler in the grocery store while they pay their bill. Offer a smile, a compliment, or a word of encouragement. Say hello to a stranger. We do not know who is parched with loneliness or feeling overwhelmed. Look for the Christ in others and respond with simple kindness and hospitality. Today’s Readings: 2 Kgs 4:8–11, 14–16a; Ps 89:2–3, 16–17, 18–19; Rom 6:3–4, 8–11; Mt 10:37–42 Copyright © J. S.

POPE FRANCIS INTENTION FOR JUNE

The Way of the Heart We pray that all those who suffer may find their way in life, allowing themselves to be touched by the Heart of Jesus.

PETER PENCE COLLECTION

This Weekend

History

The Peter's Pence Collection derives its name from an

ancient custom. In ninth-century England. King Alfred

the Great collected money, a "pence," from landowners as

financial support for the Pope. Today, the Peter's Pence

Collection supports the Pope's philanthropy by giving the

Holy Father the means to provide emergency assistance to

those in need because of natural disaster, war, oppression,

and disease.

TOP TEN REASONS TO BECOME A CATECHIST (By: Woodeene Koenig-Bricker, writer for Our Sunday Visitor)

10. The best way to learn is to teach—If your own faith education ended years ago, the resources and materials you are exposed to as a catechist will surely refresh and expand your own knowledge. 9. Catechists tell the truth—The world needs the message of the Gospel and the way to true happiness; as a catechist, you offer a hungry world that sustenance. 8. Sharing the faith is an honor—It's estimated that fewer than 1 percent of Catholics are catechists. 7. Your own faith will come alive—As a catechist, you will discover that prayer, liturgy and your own relationship with God will become more vibrant and meaningful. 6. You become an active part of the most active part of your parish—When you join the catechists in our parish, you enter into a community that will support you on your faith journey, pray for and with you and encourage you in your Catholic way of life. 5. A catechist is a role model—As a catechist, you get to model behaviors young people might not learn anywhere else. 4. You will be practicing stewardship—Being a catechist is a way of being a good steward by giving a bit of your most precious resource -- your time. 3. You show your own family that you value religious education—Taking time out of your life to teach the faith shows your own children, grandchildren, siblings and family members that you put a high priority on religious education. 2. It's fun—Kids remind adults to live and laugh in the moment and get enthused about things like holy days and stories of saints. 1. It's what we are called to do—At the end of his earthly ministry, Jesus said: "Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations." THANK YOU for those families who have returned their Fall enrollments. We are not only registering children for Fall classes, but we are also looking for catechists/teachers to share our faith with our children. As you can see by the above article, it’s the best way to learn our faith while practicing good stewardship by sharing your time, and by virtue of our Baptismal call, we are called share our faith. Please pray about becoming one of our Wednesday evening volunteers!!

HELP WITH DEPRESSION

O Christ Jesus,

when all is darkness

and I feel my weakness and helplessness,

give me a sense of Your presence,

Your love, and Your strength.

Help me to have perfect trust

in Your protecting love

and strengthening power,

so that nothing may frighten or worry me,

for, living close to You,

I shall see Your hand,

Your purpose, Your will through all things.

Amen.
