FROM FR. MATT

RESISTING HAPPINESS….

Chapter 33: Made For Mission

Matthew Kelly builds off of last week’s theme of letting your light shine and

reminds us that we are made by God for mission! Mission requires us to use our

talents and gifts to go beyond our self wants, desires, and sometimes, fears to be of

service to God and others. It is in this service that our God given light shines the

most brightly and encourages those around us to join in the mission. How do we

know what mission God calls us to? Matthew Kelly argues that when we become

the best version of ourselves, our mission will become clear and that it is not egotistical or wrong to try

and become the best we can be. In fact, it is only in becoming the best version of ourselves, that we

learn thankfulness and humility in the presence of our loving and merciful God.

Becoming the best version of ourselves takes time and effort and we never know how God will fulfill the potential that he has packed within each of us. Recently, channel 12 showed a clip on the news of my nephew Andy’s wife, Kari who has been diagnosed with ALS (http://bit.ly/2u1vlpU). What is amazing about Kari’s story is not just her fight against this horrible disease, but how in the process, God has used ALS to help Kari to become a better version of herself. Her fight and mission to find a cure to ALS has inspired those around her to mission; she has inspired them to seek the best version of themselves through the giving of time, talent, and treasure. There is something beautiful and inspiring about someone on mission! They just seem to get it!

As Kari has waged her fight against ALS, she has taught me how to be a bit more thankful and love a

little bit deeper. This week, think about those you know who are truly on mission. How have they

inspired you to become a better version of yourself and then ask yourself, “Am I on mission?” If not,

pray that God will lead and guide you to understand what he is calling you to accomplish in His

name. Be Mission and let your light shine!

"You did not choose Me but I chose you, and appointed you that you would go and bear fruit…”

- John 15:16

“So Jesus said to them again, "Peace be with you; as the Father has sent Me, I also send you."

- John 20:21

“It is with the smallest brushes that the artist paints the most exquisitely beautiful pictures.”

– St. André Bessette

“Actions speak louder than words; let your words teach and your actions speak.”

– St. Anthony of Padua

“What does love look like? It has the hands to help others. It has the feet to hasten to the poor and needy.

It has eyes to see the misery and want. It has the ears to hear the sighs and sorrows of men. That is what love

looks like.” – St. Augustine

“If we wish to make any progress in the service of God we must begin every day of our life with new eagerness.”

– St. Charles Borromeo

ROSARY GARDEN

DEDICATION AT OLSH

Please attend the dedication

of the Rosary Garden at

OLSH immediately after

the 7:00pm Mass on the

Feast of the Assumption of

the Blessed Mother, a Holy Day of Obligation.

The Marian statue, the focal point of the garden,

has been beautifully renovated thanks to the

generous donations of parishioners. The statute

has great meaning to OLSH parishioners, as it

was moved to the parish grounds from the

former location of the church in the Reading

valley.

Below is a note from Boy Scout & Eagle Scout

candidate Matthew Smeal who designed and

completed the work on the garden.

Thank You

After months of planning and hard work, the Rosary

Garden at Our Lady of Sacred Heart is finally

finished. The dedication of the site will take place on

Assumption Day August 15th. This garden will stand

as a place of peace and reflection. As I prepare to

finish the rest of my Eagle rank, I remember all of

the help I was so generously given. I would like to

give a special thanks to Mayor Richard Finan for

helping to secure an Evendale dump truck, Bob

Moggenberg for his assistance around the OLSH

grounds, Bob and Sue Kettler for the donation of the

benches, Marge Carey for her hard work in helping

with the fundraising, Rick Herzog for helping me

construct the new wall and, of course, all the

parishioners whose generosity and support made this

possible. I could not have done it without you.

Thank you all for your help,

Matthew Smeal
