ANOTHER OPTION FOR YOU Ever wondered what to do when someone dies, you know the family does not want flowers and you don’t think the deceased needs any more masses offered? One option people sometimes choose is to have memorial contributions made to a charity. Along those lines, we want to suggest contributions to our Diocesan Ministry Fund campaign. We will report to the family of the deceased the names of persons making such contributions and the amount contributed. The DMF enables the many works of the Diocese of Pueblo, especially training for ministry (either as priests, deacons or lay persons). It is a fine way to honor a deceased person’s memory.

LIFE OF THE PARTY A little boy sat through a Sunday School class and learned about the time Jesus went to a wedding and changed the water into wine. “And what did you learn for that story?” asked his father afterwards. The boy thought for a moment and answered, “If you’re having a wedding, make sure Jesus is there/” From the Desk of Sister Didyaknow

In Giving We Receive: “Stone Soup” Once upon a time, a beggar asked alms at the mansion of a lord. Rebuffed by the servants who claimed they had nothing to give, the beggar replied, “Sorry for it, but will you let me boil a little water to make some soup with this stone?” With their curiosity aroused at such an unusual proposal, the servants readily provided saucepan, water and spoon. The pauper promptly popped in a stone, savored it and suggested it needed the flavor of a little salt and pepper. The servants, caught up in the proceedings, shared some of theirs. With a flourish, the beggar stirred and tasted and observed that it would certainly be improved with any fragrant vegetables and meat there might be around. His unwitting assistants supplied them. Similarly, with a final fanfare, the beggar accepted a bit of sauce. Then all tasted and enjoyed, with the servants agreeing that stone soup is excellent.

Liturgical Parish Ministries: Like this fable, each of us has gifts we can share with the parish family. We may think we have nothing to give, but when we come together and share what God has given us, the outcome is always a blessing that benefits all of us. Liturgical Ministers are always needed. If you are not a minister at this time, please consider sharing your gifts and talents with our parish family. The more parish ministers we have, the richer and tastier our “soup” will be.

Monday, June 28 is the feast of Irenaeus of Sirmium, bishop and martyr. Irenaeus suffered under the emperors Diocletian and Maximian at Sirmium, a town now in ruins near Sremska Mitrovica in Yugoslavia. When called on to sacrifice to the gods, he refused. He was imprisoned and tortured. When he continued to refuse, he was sentenced to death. He died in 304.

Saturday, July 3 is the feast of Thomas, apostle and martyr. Thomas was one of the original twelve Apostles, and was called Didymus (“twin”), since he was the twin brother of St. James. He is characterized in the Gospels as “Doubting Thomas.” After the Resurrection and Ascension, Thomas traveled to India to proclaim the Gospel. It was in India where he was martyred. Thomas is the patron of architects, builders and construction workers.

Symbols of the Church

Altar and Cherubim/Ark of the Covenant: The Ark of the Covenant was the meeting place of God with the Israelites on the journey from Egypt. It was the symbol of the presence of God among them.

Altar of Burnt Offering: This is the altar upon which the offerings of first-fruits and grains were made. It is also a symbol for Old Testament worship.

Ark and Rainbow: This is the most common symbol of the flood. It is also a symbol of the Church, since in the Ark all living creatures found refuge from danger.
