So, still in his Lk 10:38-42 dream, Solomon answers God’s question about what he desires most, Thursday: Ex 40:16-21, 34-38; Ps 84:3-6a, 8a, 11; and God grants his request for wisdom in abundance. Mt 13:47-53 In our waking hours, we are much distracted by work, home, family, Friday: Lv 23:1, 4-11, 15-16, 27, 34b-37; Ps 81:3-6, 10 traffic, entertainment, and many worries. When we try to think about -11ab; Mt 13:54-58 what we really want out of life, we have trouble even imagining what Saturday: Lv 25:1, 8-17; Ps 67:2-3, 5, 7-8; Mt 14:1-12 that might be. But deep inside, our real longings dwell, known to God Sunday: Dn 7:9-10, 13-14; Ps 97:1-2, 5-6, 9; 2 Pt 1:16- and to the Holy Spirit. Our dreams, unencumbered by defenses, may 19; Mt 17:1-9 hold clues to what our deepest needs are, or what bothers us most. They could be God speaking. MASS INTENTIONS Copyright © J. S.

PARISH REGISTRATION To promote a spirit of belonging, we encourage all who worship here to become registered parishioners. Having registered makes the process much easier when it is time for infant baptism, school or religious education enrollment, weddings, when asked to be a baptismal or confirmation sponsor, and funerals.

Please call or visit the Parish Center to request a regis- tration form or complete the form online at the parish website: www.sjwchurch.com. Also, please contact the Parish Center if you have a new address or phone num- ber. The staff is able to serve you better if the parish records are accurate.

REQUESTING USE OF PARISH FACILITIES Parish and School groups that would like to reserve any facility in the parish must contact Angela Escobar in the Parish Center (818) 341-6634, ext. 1003.
