FRANCISCAN MISSIONARIES OF MARY
On our weekend masses July 5th and 6th, we will have Sr. Alicia Alambra as guest speaker for this Mission Appeal.
The Franciscan Missionaries of Mary is an internation missionary congregation of women, founded in 1877. Today they minister in seventy-three countries on five continents. Christ’s commandment continually beckons us “Go and make disciples of all nations…what you have done to the least of these, you have done unto me…by this everyone will know you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.” There will be a second collection, although there is no budget envelope. Thank you for your generosity.
PRAYER FOR OUR NATION
Dear Lord, we call our country “one nation under God” when we pledge allegiance to our flag. May we always remember that we are subject to you. Help us always to recall that a nation is great only so long as it worships you as its author. Remind us that no nation can truly prosper unless it acknowledges its dependence on you. Give us the grace to remember always that the true sign of strength for any nation or person is how well we treat the weak and helpless among us and make us truly thankful for all you have given us throughout our history.

SUNDAY SMILE
A woman rushes to her doctor, looking worried and strung-out. She says, “Take a look at me. When I woke up this morning, I looked in the mirror and saw my hair all wiry and frazzled-up, my skin all wrinkled and pasty, my eyes bloodshot and bugging out, and I had a corpse-like look on my face! What’s wrong with me, doctor?” the doctor looks her over, then calmly says, “Well, I can tell you that there ain’t nothing wrong with your eyesight!”
QUESTIONS OF THE WEEK
Adults: When has Jesus refreshed you when you felt burdened by problems?
Children: What burden do you need Jesus to help you carry?
An Act of Spiritual Communion
My Jesus, I believe that You are present in the Most Holy Sacrament. I love You above all things, and I desire to receive You into my soul. Since I cannot at this moment receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace You as if You were already there and unite myself wholly to You. Never permit me to be separated from You. Amen
