- Sunday Scripture Readings
- Reflection on the Scriptures has become
more and more a part of basic Christian spirituality. At times
we would like to return to the Sunday Scriptures at home, but
we do not have the missalette with us. At other times we may
be interested in seeing just what came before or immediately
after the reading for the day to gain more insights.
To encourage this encounter with
the Scriptures, we will be including in the bulletin the scripture
reading references for the current Sunday and the following Sunday.
In addition, in our on-line bulletin we will have the actual
links to the readings.

through 8). We meet on Sundays at 12:15 or Tuesdays at 6:30 during

in the catechetical program.

- LITURGY BITS AND BYTES
The Bread Which is Received
The
General Instruction of the Roman Missal is quite clear: “It
is most desirable that the faithful should receive the body of
the Lord in hosts consecrated at the same Mass and should share
in the cup when it is permitted. Communion is thus a clearer
sign of sharing in the sacrifice that is actually being celebrated.”

Prayers for the Sick
Let's be one in hope and prayerful presence
to all on our prayer list and continue to pray for Paul Reininga,
Pat Lambert, and Bill Rader. (Remembered
in the petitions)
REST IN
PEACE
We offer our sympathy and prayers to George
and Nancy Bain and their family. George’s brother, Norman,
passed away recently. May he and all who have died, rest in the
peace of our Lord.
RESPECT LIFE
The argument that the government should not
be involved in such a personal decision as abortion is fatally
flawed. The government got “too involved” in abortion
when it claimed (through the Supreme Court) to have the authority
to deprive some human beings of their right to life. Also, when
someone’s “choice” destroys someone else’s
life, that choice is no longer merely a personal, private matter.
(Father Frank Pavone)
