It is a “sign” for us to open Sunday: 2 Sm 12:7-10, 13; Ps 32:1-2, 5, 7, 11; ourselves to the new power present in Jesus and to let Gal 2:16, 19-21; Lk 7:36 — 8:3 [7:36-50] him raise us from death to life.

J Vision 2000 HEARTS FORMED BY FAITH
Dear parishioners, This weekend we celebrate our patronal feast day for the parish. We rejoice in the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary and celebrate her maternal love for us. Today as a parish family we ask the Blessed Mother to lead each of us to a deeper union with her Son, Jesus Christ. As disciples of the Lord we strive for two essential elements in our life of faith— personal relationship and confident articulation. All of us strive for a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, formed by the church, nourished by prayer and embraced in our service to God and neighbor. A personal relationship with Jesus Christ is not a matter of emotional subjectivity, but a genuine religious experience. We are bound to Christ through our religious experience and expressed faith. The Holy Spirit and Holy Mother Church act as safeguards for shaping and molding the various misconceptions and distortions that all of us are prone to encounter as we seek the Lord. Sacred Tradition and Sacred Scripture help us to weed out the bad seeds that would contaminate our relationship with Jesus. One of the real dangers of professing a personal relationship with the Lord apart from the community of the Church is to make the Lord little more than a mirror for our own needs and personality. One can worship the “God of Themselves” without ever realizing it. Our faith is indeed personal, but it is lived in communion with the Church. The second element in our life of faith is confident articulation. Call it professing your faith if you want, but the goal is the same. We want to know our faith and what we believe as Catholics. We want to have an answer for ourselves first and foremost. That doesn’t mean we have to know everything about our faith, but we want to strive for a growing confidence that we understand the what and why of our beliefs. Few things will be more painful or potentially dangerous to our growing faith if we are caught in a conversation, unable to answer simple questions about it. As we celebrate the Immaculate Heart of Mary I pray you make use of the vast resources at your disposal for personal formation and study. The Formed program is already paid for by the parish and just awaits your logging in. Our parish library has an abundance of options for reading, audio or video formation. All it takes is desire and discipline. May this summer be a time of deepening desire under the patronage and inspiration of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. May the Blessed Mother’s total devotion to Jesus model for us the discipline necessary to make our formation fruitful. Learning with love makes all study meaningful and worthwhile. Learning with love can make the experience of formation less of a chore and more of an adventure. The disciple of Christ we all long to become is just hours away when we begin to explore the beauty of our faith. Peace, Fr. Tom NEWS PSR Corner FROM THE Informa on and Registra on for the 2016-2017 school year will be sent out via mail or RELIGIOUS email towards the end of June. If you have any ques ons ahead of me, please contact EDUCATION Shawn at the parish office. 636-398-5270 DEPARTMENT
Summer and the “Year of Mercy” --- What are your plans?
Pope Francis has decreed a special year of mercy (beginning December 8, 2015 - November 20, 2016) in which he is direc ng the faithful to reflect and act on the corporal and spiritual works of mercy. He writes, "It is my burning desire that, during this Jubilee, the Chris an people may reflect on the corporal and spiritual works of mercy." We have men oned some sugges ons in past bul- le ns for the various works, including some in Ma hew Kelly’s book Beau ful Mercy. (Free books available in the narthex). We will con nue to do that throughout the summer. Below is the “ancient list.” (See great movie “Li le Boy” to hear more about this “ancient list.”) What might you or your family do to enter into this special year of mercy?
Corporal Works of Mercy D=Dead (Dead, Bury the) H=Homeless (Homeless, Shelter) T=Thirsty (Thirsty, Give Drink to) H=Hungry (Hungry, Feed the) I= Imprisoned (Imprisoned, Visit) N=Naked (Naked, Clothe the) S=Sick (Sick, Visit the) Memory Aid: DH-THINS (Symbol: Designated Hi er stands in for the pitcher......
