Why do you think God empowered Psalm: Elisha to perform this feeding miracle? The hand of the Lord feeds us; he answers all our Second Reading: needs. (Ps 145) Paul taught the Ephesians that as believers we are Second Reading: called to live by the moral imperatives of humility, One body and one Spirit, as you were also called to gentleness, patience, love, and peace. Which of these the one hope of your call; one Lord, one faith, one virtues do you think you do well? baptism; one God and Father of all. (Eph 4:4-6) Gospel: Gospel: The people mistakenly thought of Jesus as “the Then Jesus took the loaves, gave thanks, and distrib- Prophet who is to come into world” after the multi- uted them to those who were reclining, and also as plication of the loaves and fishes. What are some much of the fish as they wanted. (Jn 6:11) times when you have seen others misuse or mis- represent Jesus? Excerpts from the Lectionary for Mass ©2001, 1998, 1970 CCD. ©LPi INSPIRATION FOR THE WEEK St. Therese of Lisieux made a point of going the extra mile in kindness towards those people who really got under her skin. It was part of her own brand of Everyday Stewardship — thanking God for all His creation, even the parts with which, in her own humanness, she struggled to cope. I think about this a lot when I challenge myself to give thanks for things that bother me and people who challenge me. When I do this, I envision Christ giving thanks over those insufficient loaves. How many of us would see that paltry little basket and kick a rock in frustration because we can’t feed all our people? “You didn’t give me enough, Lord! You didn’t give me enough patience, enough money, enough creativity, enough stamina to be a good steward. If you had given me more, I could also give more!” In those moments of despair, we need to take a good look at the life God has given us. We need to look at the trials and the challenges and the shortcomings. The hopes that didn’t pan out, the disappointments that keep cropping up. Somewhere therein lies what we need to be the steward God asks us to be, just as St. Therese’s own stewardship was defined by the people she simply couldn’t stand. God does not give us all we want. He does not give us all we ask for. He does us one better: He gives us all we need. It’s all in the basket. — Tracy Earl Welliver, MTS ©LPi SUNDAY, JULY 25, 2021 ~ SEVENTEENTH SUNDAY OF ORDINARY TIME www.stanne-tomball.org July 25, 2021 page 6 Masses This Weekend July 24-25, 2021: Sat 7/24 5:00 PM ~ Kathryn Dawson Sun 7/25 8:00 AM ~ Steve Evans Sun 7/25 10:00 AM ~ People of St. Anne Parish Sun 7/25 12:00 PM ~ Josefina Amaro Weekday Masses Wed 7/28 8:30 AM ~ Wally David O St. Anne, you are my spiritual grandmother.
