Sixteenth Sunday in
Ordinary Time
The heart of Jesus was moved with pity for
the people who crowded around Him. “…they
were like sheep without a shepherd…” But
Jesus had been sent by the Father in fulfillment
of the prophesy of Jeremiah (the first reading):
God Himself would be the good shepherd of
His people. He cared for us. He would teach us
the truth and lead us to life.
Father Russell thanks all who have sent best
wishes and prayers for his recovery from
prostate cancer. His oncologist has determined
that the hormonal therapy has worked and
prepared the tumor for radiation. This daily
therapy should begin on July 27th. Please pray
that this goes well.

Pacem in Terris Film & Discussion Series
Tuesday, July 21: “Poverty, Income Disparity
and Human Rights”. Nick Hanauer is a rich
guy, an unrepentant capitalist—and has
something to say to his fellow plutocrats: Wake
up! Growing inequality is about to push our
societies into conditions resembling prerevolutionary France. Hear his argument about
why a dramatic increase in minimum wage
could grow the middle class, deliver economic
prosperity… and prevent a revolution. Medard
Gabel, Executive Director of Pacem in Terris,
will lead the discussion after this film. The
film is shown at 7pm in the Daughty House
adjacent to Westminster Presbyterian Church
parking lot at 13th and N. Rodney Streets in
Wilmington. Free parking in lot. The Series is
sponsored by Pacem in Terris. For more info,
