They appear in 8/23-Darlene Duley the forms of things like money, power, prestige, popularity, privilege, and selffulfillment. We like these “gods” because 8/25-Beth Frost 8/26-Joseph Hopfinger they make us feel good and ask very little of us in return. 8/26-Jonathan Kays 8/26-Michael Kohnke When we worship them, we worship ourselves. How can 8/26-Kristen Krafft 8/26-Logan Wolfe you go wrong with that? We buy into the illusion that if 8/27-Nicole Cotter 8/27-Roger Kuphal something can give us a comfortable life, free of want and 8/27-Bonnie Seifert 8/27-Jaylyn Shimpach need, then it is worth setting other things aside to pursue it. 8/28-Toni Sawicki In essence, we sell our souls. Our struggle with “who is God” and to whom do we belong is a real one and one that Happy Anniversary can easily find us empty and experiencing disillusionment. 8/22-Robert (Rick) & Susan The devil tempted Jesus in the desert and promised him more. We are promised “more.” But in pursuing the Siettmann more and the satisfying we lose track of the cost, and the 8/22-Jim & Dawn Peebles cost is great. We sacrifice our very life in pursuit of 8/23-Ken & Maxine Kersky something disguised as life. We sacrifice truth for something 8/28-Michael & Marie McGrath that only “feels” true. While the true and real God certainly 8/28-Stan & Renee Hoffman promises us many things, many things are also required. It is not about the warm and secure feelings and selfabsorption If you are celebrating a special anniversary and would like the world wants to provide, but of giving back. There can be your anniversary blessed during Mass, please call the parish no lukewarm stance with regard to faith. If we are in, then office. If your special date is missing, please contact the faith in Jesus Christ asks us to do some difficult things: parish office so we may update our records. work in service of God’s kingdom (not our own), love our enemies, offer no resistance to injury, that we must die to Come Pray the Rosary ourselves in order to find ourselves, and trust that Jesus truly All are invited to pray the Rosary in gives us his flesh and blood to eat and drink. These are hard Church every weekday Tuesday things to accept and even harder to put into practice. It is no Friday, 20 minutes prior to the mass wonder that many, who may be attracted to Jesus at first, at Montello and Westfield Churches. walk away in pursuit of the more selfsatisfying gods. The Rosary will also be prayed at Good Shepherd But truth is truth. If we cannot accept it from the on Saturday at 5pm and Sunday at 9:30 am. lips of Jesus Christ, then where else will we find it? To whom can we go? There is only one source of truth and life, Jesus Christ. Jesus has the words of eternal life and if we do Bulletin Deadline News not go to him, then where else will we find this gift? But we The deadline for making must be faithful and buy into the whole package deal that contributions to the bulletin is requires sacrifice and fidelity. When we do, we find Wednesday, August 25th ourselves, through the Body and Blood of Christ, connected before 11 am. to the Source of all life and then intimately bound with our brothers and sisters. We all have to decide whether we want Bible Verse Of The Week to stay or go and if we can accept what Jesus has to say. It’s a choice we all have to make. “If it does not please you to serve the Lord, decide today whom you ©LPi will serve…As for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.” JOSHUA 24:15 Like To Register for St. John the Baptist or Good Shepherd Parish?
