CHOOSE LIFE: "Give to Ceasar what is due to Caesar and to God what is due to God.~ MT 22:2 REFLECTION" : When asked whether taxes should be paid to Caesar, Jesus said the coin belongs to Caesar, for it bears Caesar’s image. What then belongs to God? Human beings, because they bear God’s image! The implication of the passage is that what belongs to God includes Caesar himself! Caesar must obey God. PRAYER: Lord, bless all those in civil authority, that they may obey your Divine and eternal law

holding all life as sacred.. Amen. Pro-Life Reflections for Every Day ~ Fr. Frank Pavone

VOCATION VIEW: Jesus knew that when we are committed to whatever we are doing no obstacle can prevent us from reaching our goal. We are invited to con- sider setting our sights on God’s call to commitment in our lives.

Born to poor parents near Pibrac, , St. Germaine had a deformed right hand, suffered from sores on her neck and was sickly from neglect and abuse. Despite her sufferings, she found comfort in God’s presence, and prayed the Rosary while she tended the family sheep. She was generous with the poor, despite her own poverty. She even forgave her step- mother, who badly mistreated her. She is the patroness of abuse victims, people with disabilities, and shepherdesses. (Growing in Faith June 2018)

No. Their prayer tends to be spontaneous but inconsistent. The 7% have a daily commitment to prayer, a routine. Prayer is a priority for God bless you all!! them. They also tend to have a structured way of praying. Many of Love ya! them pray at the same time every day. For some it means going to Father Darryl Mass in the morning and for others it means sitting down in a big, comfortable chair in a corner of their home or taking a walk, but they tend to abide by a structure. Some start by simply talking to God about their day. Others begin their prayer by reading from the Bible. Still others have a favorite devotional book that they begin with. When they arrive at the time and place in their day for prayer, they have a plan; it is not St. Elizabeth Ann Seton left to chance or mood. They have a habit of prayer, which they cling to with great discipline. This daily habit of prayer is the result of real spiritual work. Parish Different things work for different people. Beginners in prayer struggle because they try one thing and it doesn’t work, and they get discouraged. Too many people don’t have someone they can turn to Picnic and discuss the intricacies of developing a practical and sustainable prayer life. In most cases the 7% have developed their routine of prayer painstakingly through trial and error over the course of decades. What is important to recognize is that Dynamic Catholics have a time to pray, a place to pray, and a structure to their prayer. The 93% certainly pray, but it tends to be when the mood strikes them or when some crisis emerges.

EUCHARISTIC ADORATION: First Friday Adoration August 3rd, following 8:00 am Mass until noon Benediction. "St. Benedict, Priest, Founder of the Benedictines, Italy (c480-547) Benedict is a very great Saint who worked numerous miracles, including raising the dead. His was a life of prayer and work; he taught his monks to pray always. He is known as the Father of Western monasticism. Benedict’s great love was Jesus in the Eucharist whom he received just before he died. His twin sister, Scholastica, is also a Saint. They are both buried in the church of St. John the Baptist at Monte Cassino. The blessed medal of St. Benedict is one of the most powerful medals of the church. It possesses wonderful power for those who wear it with proper devotion and trust in the Holy Cross and the intercession of the holy father St. Benedict.
