CATHOLIC CHURCH ---ARCHDIOCESE OF WASHINGTON--
19th Sunday in Ordinary Time
In John’s gospel today we hear about the continuation of Jesus’ conversation with the Jews
concerning the statement that He is the bread of life and all must come to Him in order not to
hunger or thirst. Knowing Jesus’ background---where He came from and who were His parents,
the Jews found this concept hard to accept. Jesus was a human being to them, no more special
than they and certainly not the “Son of Man”. To accept this, the Jews of Christ’s time as well as
anyone today, has to have faith. We receive faith through grace which is a gift from God. It is a
gift we were given when we were first baptized as members of the Catholic Church. This gift is
developed in our lives through prayer, good works, receiving the sacraments, and ultimately
having a relationship with God.
The Jews had seen Jesus work many miracles and they had just witnessed him feed 5,000 people.
For some, their following of Him was more related to temporal rather than spiritual needs. When
we follow and believe in Jesus and eternal life which we strive for, we must have faith. The
Jews needed to put their confidence, their faith, in Jesus not for their material needs but their
spiritual. So too with us and that is something we need to work on every day of our lives. This
quote says it all. “As Christ is the root by which a saint grows, so is He the rule by which a saint
walks.” (Anonymous) ~~~~~~Jeanette Zak

Please pray that those whose names appear
here – and others we know who are ill – will
experience health, healing and peace of mind.
We ask this through Christ, our Lord. Amen.
God offers us abundant life,
but we can miss it. What is
the bread of life which Jesus
offers? It is first of all the life
of God himself -- life which
sustains us not only now in
this age but also in the age to come. The Rabbis said
that the generation in the wilderness have no part in
the life to come. In the Book of Numbers it is recorded
that the people who refused to brave the dangers of
the promised land were condemned to wander in the
wilderness until they died. The Rabbis believed that
the father who missed the promised land also missed
the life to come. When Jesus offers us real life he
brings us into a new relationship with God, a
relationship of trust, love, and obedience. And he
offers us real life which last forever, a life of love,
fellowship, communion, and union with the One who
made us in love to be him forever. To refuse Jesus is
to refuse eternal life, unending life with the Heavenly
Father. To accept Jesus as the bread of heaven is not
only life and spiritual nourishment for this world but
glory in the world to come. Do you accept Jesus as the
bread of life?
"Lord Jesus, you are the living bread which
sustains me in this life. May I always hunger for
the bread which comes from heaven and find in it
the nourishment and strength I need to love and
serve you wholeheartedly. May I always live in
the joy, peace, and unity of the Father, Son, and
Holy Spirit, both now and in the age to come.”
August is the Month of the
Immaculate Heart of Mary
Queen of the Most Holy Rosary, and tender Mother of
all people, I consecrate myself to your Immaculate
Heart, and recommend to you my family, my country,
and the whole human race. Please accept my
consecration, and use me as you wish to accomplish
your designs upon the world. O Immaculate Heart of
Mary, Queen of Heaven and earth, teach me how to
allow the Heart of Jesus to triumph in me and around
me, as it has ruled and triumphed in you. Amen.
Exploring Catholic
Stewardship: Part II
A Summary of the U.S.
Bishops' Pastoral Letter
on Stewardship
Stewards safeguard
material and human
resources and use them responsibly, and are
generous in giving time, talent, and treasure. Christian
stewards receive God's gifts gratefully, cultivate them
responsibly, share them lovingly in justice, and return
them with increase to the Lord
Disciples as Stewards: Jesus calls us to be
disciples, to commit our very selves to him.
Stewardship shapes and molds our understanding of
our lives and the way we live. We are grateful for our
gifts and use them to show our love for God and one
another.
Stewards of Creation: God created the world, but
entrusts it to human beings. Caring for and cultivating
the world involves joyful appreciation for the God-given
beauty and wonder of nature; protection and
preservation of the environment; respect for human
life; and development of this world through noble
human effort—physical labor, the trades and
professions, the arts and sciences. Work is a fulfilling
human vocation, a partnership with God—our share in
a divine human collaboration in creation.
Stewards of Vocation: Jesus calls us to the
Christian way of life—of which stewardship is part. He
calls us individually, by name. Each of us has a
vocation to play, a unique role in carrying out the
divine plan. The challenge is to understand our role
and to respond generously to this call from God. In
addition, Christ calls each of us to be stewards of our
personal vocations, which we receive from God.
Stewards of the Church: Stewards of God's gifts
are not passive beneficiaries. We are obliged to be
stewards of the Church—collaborators and
cooperators in continuing the redemptive work of
Jesus Christ, the Church's essential mission. This
mission—proclaiming and teaching, serving and
sanctifying—is our task. It is the personal responsibility
of each one of us as stewards of the Church. All
members of the Church have their own roles to play in
carrying out its mission.
