As you can see we have been working hard to reduce our

We do not have enough income to pay our bills. In addi-
tion, we are not paying our school assessment, property and
liability insurance as well as other unexpected expenses.
On a side note we would like to thank all of those who gave
so generously to our requests last week. We have enough
to cover everything but the 60” television. Thank you for
your continued support of your Parish.

Sixteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time—July 17, 2016 www.svdpfl.com
Step 7: Letting God We humbly asked God to remove our shortcomings.
We have all hear the statement, “Let go and Let God.” It is
easier said that done. We can never guide our own trans-
formation or conversion. In trying to do so our conversion
will be self-centered with most of our preferences and ad-
dictions still fully in place but now well disguised. Step 7
says that we must "humbly ask God to remove our short-
comings." Don't ever bother to go after your faults your-
self because you will usually go after the wrong thing (the
real thing remains denied in the un-
conscious).
Instead, we learn to let God reveal
our real faults to us, usually by fall-
ing many times, and by other peo-
ple's opinions of us. We ask God to
remove those faults in God's way
and in God's time. Without admit-
ting that you we are powerless and
in need of God’s intervention we
will most likely find the same faults
at a deeper level of disguise and de-
nial. Thus most people at early stag-
es in recovery just replace one ad-
diction with another. Now it's nico-
tine, caffeine, shopping, eating or
any other compulsive behavior to
calm the inner craving.
Jesus said, "Ask, and it will be given
to you; seek, and you will find;
knock, and it will be opened to
you" (Matt 7:7). He was telling us to
stay in the position of a beggar, a
petitioner, a radical dependent. This
is always our spiritual posture, if we
are honest. To know that we don't
know, to know that we are always in need, keeps us situat-
ed in right relationship with Life itself. Life is a gift, total-
ly given to us without cost. A daily and chosen "attitude of
gratitude" will keep our hands open to allow and receive
life at ever-deeper levels of satisfaction. But don't ever
think you deserve or have earned it.
Humility is foundational. Those who live with such open
and humble hands receive life's gifts in abundance and
throughout their years, "full measure, pressed down, shak-
en together, and running over into their lap" (Luke 6:38).
Humility is the key to attaining true freedom of the human
spirit as well as serenity, strength, and character. “The
desire to seek and do God’s will” is the essential ingredient
of humility, without which we may never find relief from
our most crippling and painful shortcomings.
It may seems impossible to surrender completely to God’s
will until we have seen and accepted the truth about our-
selves, free from the delusions of both self-flattery and self
-loathing. How could we possibly seek to give up a charac-
ter defect or shortcoming that we fail to recognize as a
fault, or cannot admit we possess? Learning to see our-
selves accurately is a consequence of
the self-examination that starts with
Step 4. We must overcome the ego-
protecting tendency to deny, distort,
or minimize our failings before we
can acknowledge them to our inner-
most selves and accept our-
selves exactly as we really are.
The important thing is that we not
give up but keep working to become
ever more honest and accepting of
ourselves, acknowledging both our
strengths and our weaknesses. The
7th Step, like the 6th, is not one that
we are ever likely to do completely.
There is much to be gained by persis-
tent effort, peeling away layer after
layer of our old selves as we work
the Steps again and again. And each
time we recognize another trouble-
some attitude or behavior and surren-
der it wholeheartedly as expressed in
the 7th Step Prayer, we grow a bit
more in humility.
The 7th Step is so important for our
recovery because when we stop ac-
tively seeking humility, we start feeding our egos . . . and
once we break out in a rash of self-will, we return to our
habitual old behaviors or new ones (booze, drugs, food,
gambling, porn, etc.). For the sake of our continuous spir-
itual growth we replace our shortcomings by being caring
toward others – families, friends, colleagues, and commu-
nities – and without that deeper purpose we deprive our-
selves of the richest rewards life has to offer; a life that is
free and given to others in love.

ituality and the Twelve Steps (Franciscan Media: 2011).

Pope Francis in a message to the Eucharistic Congress
taking place this weekend in Genoa, Italy said, “On this
happy occasion which is offered to us, I encourage all
the Faithful to always honor the most blessed Eucha-
rist.” The Pope referred to the Eucharist as “a sacra-
ment of love, a sign of unity, a bond of charity,” and he
called the faithful to be nourished by it “in order to be
communally united among themselves, and cooperate
in the building of the Church and the good of the
world.”
“Moreover, I want to encourage everyone to visit – if
possible, every day – especially amid life’s difficulties,
the Blessed Sacrament of the infinite love of Christ and
His mercy, preserved in our churches, and often aban-
doned, to speak filially with Him, to listen to Him in
silence, and to peacefully entrust yourself to Him.

RETROUVAILLE ... A LIFELINE
Stewardship…..
Time, Talent, Treasure
Sunday’s Gospel reading (Luke 10: 38-42) invites us to see our parish and homes as places of welcome and hospitali-
ty. Earlier in this section of Luke, Jesus has sent his disciples
on mission with the order, “Into whatever house you enter say,
‘Peace to this household.’” Jesus entered the home of Martha,
Mary and Lazarus with this greeting. The first thing we are
made to notice is that Martha is ‘burdened with much serving.’
This is a situation that might resonate among many of us with
the tasks of daily life.
Jesus replies to her; “You are anxious and worried about many
things.” The lesson that is set before us suggest that we not be
overtaken by the work that has to be done but rather to take
care of the, “only one thing needed,” to listen to God’s voice
that brings Peace.
What do you suppose that Martha did when Jesus did not tell
Mary to go help her in the kitchen? Do you think that maybe he
said, “leave your sister alone, she has chosen the better part, I’ll
give you a hand preparing the meal!” What joy would have fill
Martha’s heart to know that Jesus was there helping her in a far
better way than Mary ever could in the kitchen. That is the un-
written part of this story.
One of the most rewarding things we do for our Parish is to
volunteer and help when able to do so. Look around and see
how these dedicated helpers contribute to the hospitality of our
parish home. We are grateful for all our unpaid helpers and
encourage anyone to consider joining in serving Our Lord and
our Parish in one of the many ministries here at St. Vincent.
You won’t regret it. It will bring great joy to you. Stewardship,
using our Time, Talent and Treasure aware of the living pres-
ence of God with us helping us to serve others out of love.
Take time each day to welcome him bringing you Peace.
