This weekend we all have the opportunity to financially support the Society for Faith and Children’s Education (S FACE) summer appeal. Each year a missionary priests spends a weekend with us, and shares his life experience as missionary during our weekend masses. So what is the S FACE, and how can we support this mission?

S FACE is based in Green Bay, Wisconsin, an organizaon with the great mission of EVANGELIZATION WITH EDUCATION. It is a joy to know that the young kids are finding wonderful jobs a er graduaon from colleges. S FACE is full of Happy Hearts with Happy Faces. There is nothing more valuable in life than the love of people especially the poor. We are always ready to sacrifice our lives for a greater cause. There are thousands of generous hearts who have contributed their me and money and energy for the growth of S FACE. We are proud of our humble service to humanity and to God. “Missionary evangelizaon is the primary service the Church can render to humanity in the modern world.” (Redemptoris Missio T John Paul II) “Educaon is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world” (Nelson Mandela) What S FACE does today is just a drop in the ocean but the ocean would be less because of that missing drop. Remember yesterday, dream about tomorrow, but you beer live for today. Thanks to the Great American Generosity.

8 | The Chimes · St. Athanasius Parish FAITH FIRST
Working with the Scriptures by Vinal Van Benthem, sfo June 23, 2019 Luke 9:11b-17 “Give them some food yourselves.” Jesus’ response to his disciples sounds almost harsh. After all, they were just trying to help. The only logical thing to do was to tell the people that dinner was “on their own” (many church and business conferences in our own time operate this way). The disciples were just being “practical.” But Jesus seemed to have something else in mind… It was Saturday afternoon and, officially, the office was closed. The big meeting was scheduled for Monday. Susan would be making the first presentation. Representatives were coming in to the home office from around the country. Susan was just putting the finishing touches on her Power Point presentation when it happened – her computer crashed! All of her handouts – her charts and profiles – were gone, just like that. She tried calling her Department Head at home but got only an answering machine: “In case of emergency please call Susan Duffy.” A lot of good that would do her - she was Susan Duffy! Who could she call? A couple of people from her design and development team were also in the office and overhead the message Susan was leaving on her boss’s answering machine. They came over to her desk to ask what was wrong. When she told them what had happened they started coming up with ideas of how they could retrieve information, break it down into its component parts and begin to reconstruct the presentation. By the time they were finished (several hours later) Susan had a better presentation than the one she’d been working on alone. Susan’s co-workers’ gifts of time, energy and skill had saved the day. Jesus didn’t solve the disciples’ problem for them. Nor did he let them pass the problem on to the crowds. Instead, He seemed to be telling them, “You have within you all the resources you need – and more.” Sometimes that’s how God answers our prayers, too. “In case of emergency, call ______.” “Give them something to eat yourself.” Are we willing to share our time, energy and skill? Or do we, like the disciples, still expect God to work the miracle?
FAITH FIRST
June 30, 2019 Thirteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time —Luke 9:11b-17
WHEN THE DAYS FOR Jesus’ being taken up were fulfilled, he resolutely determined to journey to Jerusalem, and he sent messengers ahead of him. On the way they entered a Samaritan village to prepare for his reception there, but they would not welcome him because the destination of his journey was Jerusalem. When the disciples James and John saw this they asked, “Lord, do you want us to call down fire from heaven to consume them?” Jesus turned and rebuked them, and they journeyed to another village. As they were proceeding on their journey someone said to him, “I will follow you wherever you go.” Jesus answered him, “Foxes have dens and birds of the sky have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to rest his head.” And to another he said, “Follow me.” But he replied, “Lord, let me go first and bury my father.” But he answered him, “Let the dead bury their dead. But you, go and proclaim the kingdom of God.” And another said, “I will follow you, Lord, but first let me say farewell to my family at home.” To him Jesus said, “No one who sets a hand to the plow and looks to what was left behind is fit for the kingdom of God.” Gospel LK 9:51-62
After reading the Gospel aloud, in unison, those gathered reflect on the following questions: • In this passage, what word, phrase or image struck you? • How does that speak to you personally? • How does that speak to our community at St. Athanasius? And to the wider Church? Conclude by praying the Our Father together.
