PARISH BUSINESS Catholic Home Missions Appeal Support the Catholic Home Missions Appeal today! News from the P.I.T. – Priest in Training Right now, over 40 percent of dioceses in the United States The story from the Road to Emmaus, strikes closer to are considered home missions because they are unable to home than most of us realize. Let me explain, in this story we fund essential pastoral work needed in their communities. have followers of Jesus Christ who don’t recognize the Lord Your support funds programs—such as religious educa- right in front of them. Because of the cross, they become tion, seminary formation, and lay ministry training—to discouraged, fall into despair, and turn away from the Body build vibrant faith communities right here in the United of Christ even after hearing about the resurrection and the States. Please be generous. More information can be found empty tomb! at www.usccb.org/home-missions. How is this our story? Well, in many cases I have already experienced as a priest, we go through our daily lives not see- ing the Lord, even while he is walking with us! We go and come across many crosses and instead of recognizing the Lord with us, we fall into discouragement and despair. Little do we know that the Lord wants us to recognize that He is with us through it all! We don’t have a God who is distant through our struggles and crosses, but we have a God who enters into our lives. That is why the Mass is so important! First the Road to Emmaus reveals the Mass, the need to repent (penitential rite), the Lord opening the Scripture to his disciples (The Lit- urgy of the Word), and finally Jesus is revealed in the break- ing of the bread (Liturgy of the Eucharist). Second, it is through the Mass, we are reminded through the Word and Sacrament, that Jesus Christ is with us! May our response be likes the disciples who discovered the Lord even in the midst of the paschal mystery, “were our hearts not burning within us while he spoke to us on the way!” Fr. Michael Kearney

Blessing for Our Nation God of all things, we come before you in thanksgiving for all that you have created. For the world and its beauty, but especially for the people around us. We ask you today to give us wisdom and courage to look at the world and all its problems and inspire us to dream great ways to improve upon what you have so graciously given to us. Make us worthy to call you Father. And together bestow insight upon us to honor your created things. Bless, protect, and gift us ever anew with your love.

We ask all this as members of this country, in Christ’s name. Amen.
