In June, 2019 she decided 8:30 am For the Dominican Sisters of Mary, to come back to Peoria and returned to her previous job as a waitress until Mother of the Eucharist, especially she was laid off because of COVID.

Before sharing her name and phone number with Prairie State, we Saturday, July 25 called her back for permission. She very No Daily Mass quickly decided that she didn’t need their 17th Sunday in Ordinary Time help as she was sure her unemployment would be approved very shortly.

6:30 pm Sharon Jokhy [Hoisan Kim] We always want to be good stewards of the funds you so generously give to Sunday, July 26 SVdP and we don’t want to enable poor behavior. We pray that we made the correct decision in denying rental assistance to this woman. We did however 7:00 am + Hugo Weber [Rosemary Weber] have our food delivery volunteers take her a nice box of food and household 9:30 am + Ken McGarvey [Jim & Mary Beam] items to assist in that way.

JULY 19, 2020 PAGE 5 READINGS 16TH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME First reading: Wisdom 12:13, 16-19

The Jewish sage speaks of God as master of all who judges us with clemency and governs us with leniency. What are some areas of your life that make you grateful for a merciful God? Psalm: Psalms 86:5-6, 9-10, 15-16

Second Reading: Romans 8:26-27 Paul teaches the Christians in Rome that the Spirit helps us “to pray as we ought.” When do you find yourself most at prayer? Gospel: Matthew 13:24-43 We hear today a series of parables describing aspects of the kingdom of heaven: the parable of the weeds among the wheat, the parable of the mustard seed, and the parable of the yeast. What do you think makes Jesus’ parables such an effective method for teaching about the mystery of the kingdom of heaven? ©LPi
