Feast of Saint Anne – July 26, 2015
Anne is the wife of Joachim and the mother of Mary. She
is the grandmother according to the flesh of our Lord,
God and Saviour Jesus Christ. Her name means “grace”
or “the gracious one” or “the loving one.”
Prayer to Saint Anne. With love, I come to you St. Anne.
By your virtues and holiness, you merited from God the
favor of giving life to her who is the Treasure of all
graces, the Most Holy Virgin. Receive me, good St. Anne,
into the number of your true clients, for so I profess
myself and wish to remain throughout my entire life.
Obtain for me, from God, the power to imitate those
virtues with which you are so plentifully endowed. Help
me to know and regret my sins bitterly. Obtain for me the
grace of active love for Jesus and Mary, and resolution
to fulfill the duties of my state of life with faithfulness.
Save me from every danger that confronts me in life, and
help me at the hour of my death. Amen.

17th Sunday in Ordinary Time
WILL THERE BE enough food? We hear this question twice today and each time it is answered with a lesson in
faith. Elisha’s servant doubts that 20 loaves of bread and a few heads of grain will be enough to feed 100 men. But
Elisha re-assures him, saying, “Give it to the people and let them eat, for thus says the Lord, “They shall eat and
have some left.’” In John’s Gospel, Jesus sees a large crowd gathering and tests the disciples, asking where they
might find bread to feed the crowds. The disciples doubt they’ll be able to do so, and so Jesus again teaches them
to trust that he will provide. We can all recall times when company was coming and, doubting ourselves, we ran to
the store to buy a few extra items. Inevitably, the last-minute groceries weren’t needed – in fact, there was plenty
left over for the next day. So it is with God’s banquet: we can be confident there will always be more than enough.
Believing that God will take care of our needs takes the qualities Paul lists in his letter to the Ephesians: humility,
gentleness and patience. When we trust that God will provide, we can say with the Psalmist; “You open your hand
to feed us, Lord; you satisfy all our needs.”

SPECIAL INTENTION OF POPE FRANCIS FOR
THE MONTH OF JULY
WE PRAY FOR OUR SICK AND DECEASED
BROTHERS AND SISTERS
God Our Father, during this month of July, we lift up
all those who serve in politics. May those who have
political responsibility at all levels of society promote the
highest form of charity.
We also pray for our impoverished brothers and sisters
in Latin America. May Latin American Christians bear
witness to Your love for the poor and contribute to a more
Christ-like society.
St. Kateri, pray for healing for our brothers and
sisters who are suffering, especially Henry Arquette,
John Bigtree, Bernadine Herne, Carl Cook, Laurie
Connors, Alex Arquette, Sandra Terrance, Debbie
Bero, Carol Caldwell Halsted, Nancy Arquette, Clyde
Cree, Norris Thompson, Clara King, Margie Lazore,
Carl Tarbell and Mary Jackson. Help those
undergoing surgery and those receiving treatment for
cancer, diabetes, and addictions. Console the families
who are suffering the loss of their loved ones.
A SUMMER BLESSING
May you walk with God this summer, in whatever you
do, wherever you go.
Walking with God means walking with honesty and
with courage, walking with love and respect and concern
for the feelings of others.
May you talk to God this summer, every day and in
every situation.
Talking with God means...praying words of praise for
the beauty of creation, saying prayers of thanks for family
and friends and good times, asking God's help in all your
decisions, expressing your sorrow when you have failed.
May you walk with God every day this summer.
Amen.
The months of July and August is a time of reflection and
relaxation so that the mind, body and soul can rest and
rejuvenate for the new Pastoral year. Therefore, there will
not be any ministry meetings during those months. Please
call the rectory for urgent issues.
Eternal rest grant unto Carmen Tarbell and Evelyn
Delormier. May her soul and the souls of all the
faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in
peace. Amen.
