14th Sunday in Ordinary Time

“As the Lord spoke to me, the spirit entered me and set

me on my feet, and I heard the one who was speaking

say to me, ‘Son of man, I am sending you…’” EZ 2:2-3

God asks each of us to do some special work for Him. He gives us the resources we need to do His work. However, do we listen to God when He calls? Do we get up on our feet and use our talent to do the work He asks of us? Remember, God doesn’t call the equipped, he equips the called.

following ministries: Lectors, Ushers, Youth & Young

Adult Choir, & Eucharistic Ministers (Young Adults

Only), please see Mrs. Bernadette August-Woods or

required to attend Mass on the 4th Sunday whether

class is in session or not.

Black and Indian Mission Collection Announcement

On July 16-17, 2018, the Archdiocese of New Orleans

will take up the annual Black and Indian Mission Col-

lection, which has a direct impact in our own archdio-

cese as we benefit locally from grants funded by the

collection. Your generosity to this collection reflects

the depths of your faith and your willingness to help

our brothers and sisters in need; it is an opportunity to

evangelize and further the missionary cause of bringing

the Gospel to our African American and Native Ameri-

can family.

A church building is a special

place calling for special behav-

ior. While the church is our home

and we should feel comfortable

there – indeed, the church (small

“c”) is a gathering place for the

Church, the people of God

(capital “C”) – that doesn’t mean

that anything goes. Your actions

in church show respect for God

and for the community that gath-

ers there. If you are stopping by the church to pray,

even just for a moment, your actions should respect the

place and its purpose.

Spit out your gum, turn off your cell phone, check that you’re appropriately dressed and make the most of the precious opportunity to step away from the ordinary and into a sacred space and time. If you are in the church for Mass and you wish to go to communion, remember that Catholics are required to fast for one hour before re-ceiving the Eucharist. This ensures that we are “hungry” (at least symbolically) for the Eucharist and that we show respect for the Body of Christ. The Eucha-rist is real food, but it is not ordinary food, and thus we don’t mix it in with bites of our ordinary food and drink. Snacking or chewing gum distracts us from the sacred fast that prepares us to receive the Body of Christ. So there’s one more reason to lose the gum.

Will be posted next week due to Staff Vacations. We

apologize for the inconvenience.
