Saint George Parish Community Under the Guidance of the Holy Spirit 22 E. Cooke Avenue, Glenolden, PA 19036 - 610-237-1633 - www.stgeorgeparish.org 14th Sunday in Ordinary Time July 4, 2021 Jesus departed from there and came to His na- tive place, accompanied by His disciples. When the sabbath came, He began to teach in the syna- gogue, and many who heard Him were aston- ished. They said, “Where did this Man get all this? What kind of wisdom has been given Him? What mighty deeds are wrought by His hands! Is He not the carpenter, the Son of Mary, and the brother of James and Joses and Judas and Si- mon? And are not His sisters here with us?” And they took offense at Him. Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in His native place and among His own kin and in His own house.” So He was not able to perform any mighty deeds there, apart from curing a few sick people by laying His hands on them. He was amazed at their lack of faith. ~Mark 6: 1-6a Happy Independence Day! God our Father, Giver of life, we entrust the United States of America to Your loving care. You are the rock on which this nation was founded. You alone are the true source of our cherished rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Reclaim this land for Your glory and dwell among Your people. Send Your Spirit to touch the hearts of our nation´s leaders. Open their minds to the great worth of human life and the responsibilities that accompany human freedom. Remind Your people that true happiness is rooted in seeking and doing Your will. Through the intercession of Mary Immaculate, Patroness of our land, grant us the courage to reject the "culture of death." Lead us into a new millennium of life. We ask this through Christ Our Lord. Amen. Prayer to Saint Joseph Join us as we pray the Prayer to Saint Joseph at the conclusion of Mass throughout the re- mainder of this Year of Saint Joseph: Hail, Guardian of the Redeemer, Spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary. To you God entrusted His only Son; in you Mary placed her trust; with you Christ became man. Blessed Joseph, to us too, show yourself a father and guide us in the path of life. Obtain for us grace, mercy and courage, and defend us from every evil. ~Amen. Contact Us!
