Thirteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time
July 2nd, 2006
St. Xavier Parish Home Page
Brothers and sisters, the Holy Spirit summons us to this holy place today to be strengthened at a font of healing, forgiveness, and love. We open our eyes to the presence of God within those around us. We open our ears to hear sacred words of comfort and assurance. We open our hearts to receive the kind of love that we can find nowhere else. For these great gifts we lift heart and voice in praise and thanksgiving.
The images of healing presented in today's Gospel remind us of the power of God's love to restore us to life when sickness and death surround us. Let our hearts be filled with praise as we listen to these remarkable stories of transformation. Let us pray that we, too, will be transformed by these saving words.
Stewardship:
2 Corinthians 6-9
"Remember that the person who plants few seeds will have a small crop; the one who plants many seeds will have a large crop. You should each give then, as you have decided, not with regret or our of a sense of duty; for God loves the one who gives gladly. GOd is able to give you more than you need, so that you will always have all you need for yourselves and more than enough for every good cause. As the scripture says, "He gives generously to the needy; his kindness last forever."
Creator God,
At Baptism, we accepted the call to follow Jesus.
Be with us as we move along on
our faith journey.
Send us your Holy Spirit,
that we might have wisdom
for the journey.
Help us to develop and share
our gifts as good stewards,
that we may use them in love and service in your
Kingdom.
We ask this through Christ, our Lord.
AMEN.
The St. Xavier's Lunchroom is now taking applications for a cook and other lunchroom help. For more information, please call the school at 238-2841 or the parish office 238-2998.
Religious Education
We are hoping that you are having a great summer; but just in case you are thinking about the coming Fall, we need to mention a big change to our program. Classes will be held on Wednesday evenings from 7:00 to 8:00 pm. The reason for this change is to reserve Sunday as a "Family Day" with Mass celebrated with the family. Teacher and aides are needed!
Please continue checking the bulletin for registration dates in August.
God's blessing on all,
Kurt and Sandy Leister
