This week, we celebrate and honor one of our wisdom igures at St.
Francis. Lucille Ussery moved to St. Francis from her home parish
in south Georgia eleven years ago and has been a beautiful sign of
Christ’s love and presence to everyone. Lucille has helped
coordinate the Respect for Life committee in the parish as well as
the Prayer Chain. Just ten years ago, Lucille also helped with the
40th anniversary celebration of our parish. Lucille, you are loved
and appreciated more than you know! Thank you for all that you do
and for being a part of our parish family!
The Homeschool Co-Op Ministry will continue our community

If you would be able to help us collect these things, there is a
box in La Salette Hall labeled “Nursing Home”. Thank you for your
support. For information, please contact Tiffany Gokey at
[email protected] or 678-918-0566.

certi icando que usted asiste a Misa regularmente. Tenemos una
parroquia grande y la única manera de saber si viene a Misa
regularmente es el uso de sus sobres. Todos los feligreses
registrados tienen un numero de familia, el cual es el numero que
se utiliza para su identi icación y es el que se imprime en el
exterior de los sobres. Por favor, use los sobres, no
necesariamente tiene que colocar alguna cantidad en el interior,
pero el numero en el exterior nos permite saber que están
asistiendo a Misa regularmente.
MEDITACION EVANGELICO - ALENTAR ENTENDIMIENTO MAS PROFUNDO DE LA
ESCRITURA Los tiempos que se están viviendo en la sociedad actual
con referencia a la injusticia y la facilidad para la violencia son
alarmantes. Los medios de comunicación muestran todos los dı́as el
cómo se quita la vida humana, la destrucción del planeta, de las
plantas y animales. La primera lectura del Profeta Habacuc, su
reclamo a Dios en su tiempo es un re lejo del nuestro: “¿Por qué
me haces ver la injusticia?” ¿Acaso no estamos cansados de todo lo
que vemos y escuchamos? Tal pareciera que Dios no escucha ni
interviene en la miseria humana. Pero no, no es ası́. Dios responde
e invita al Profeta a escribir su visión: “El que vacila nunca
contará con mi favor, el justo si vivirá por su idelidad.”
(Habacuc 2:4). Los eventos de la vida del ser humano están en los
planes de Dios. Depende de nosotros la idelidad y el compromiso.
¿Estás de acuerdo con el Profeta? ¿En qué sentido? El Evangelio,
por otro lado, nos muestra la forma de alinearnos con la gente
buena para hacer cosas que ayuden a la sociedad a crecer en
justicia y promover la paz. Esa paz que tanto se necesita en las
fronteras del mundo, con los refugiados y los que caminan en
caravana dejando sus paı́ses. Sin embargo, el punto principal de
todo es la fe. Por eso, los apóstoles piden que se aumente su fe.
El Maestro responde y da ejemplos palpables para llegar hasta mover
montañas y agrega lo siguiente: “Ası́ también ustedes, cuando
hayan hecho todo lo que les ha sido mandado, digan: Somos
servidores que no hacı́amos falta, hemos hecho lo que era nuestro
deber.” (Lucas 17:10). ©LPi

The Mysteries of the Rosary Have you ever wanted to explore the
life of Jesus and Mary in a deeper way? Each decade highlights a
sacred episode: Joyful Mysteries: Through the Annunciation (1) and
Visitation (2), we get a glimpse at Mary’s joyful yes to God. She
gives birth to Jesus in the Nativity (3). Mary and Joseph present
their son at the temple (4) and bring him there again when he is a
teenager (5). Luminous Mysteries: Jesus is baptized in the Jordan
River (1) before Mary gives him a nudge to his irst miracle at Cana
(2). Jesus proclaims the Gospel (3), is trans igured on Mount Tabor
(4), and institutes the Eucharist (5). The light is shining!
Sorrowful Mysteries: Jesus prays in agony in Gethsem-ane (1),
knowing his hour of suffering has come. After his betrayal and
arrest, Jesus is scourged (2) and crowned with thorns (3). He
carries his cross (4), and Mary stands at the foot of the cross as
he is cruci ied (5). Glorious Mysteries: Christ is risen in glory
(1)! After appearing to those he loves, he ascends into heaven (2).
Jesus’ followers receive the Holy Spirit at Pentecost (3). Mary,
unaffected by original sin, is assumed body and soul into heaven
(4), where she is crowned queen, humble mother of Christ the King
(5). ©LPi
EVERYDAYSTEWARDSHIP-RECOGNIZEGODINYOURORDINARYMOMENTS
HowMuchIsEnough? During a conversation about good stewardship of
money and time, my daughter shared that sometimes doing the best
thing was so hard for her to do. It wasn’t always a matter of right
and wrong, black and white, but a matter of better and best. I
began to re lect on the truth of her statement. When confronted
with a decision, we can sometimes be given a choice of good,
better, and best. We fool ourselves into believing that the good
choice is not a bad one, so it must be enough. However, we have
essentially placed a limit on our generosity or commitment with our
false sense of good stewardship. Jesus calls us in different ways
every day. Sometimes the cost to us is clear. Yet sometimes there
is no clear metric. When called to love, how much love is enough?
When someone needs our time, how many hours is enough? When a small
gift will bring about a positive outcome, what could a larger gift
accomplish? Don’t be fooled by Jesus’ teaching of the mustard seed.
He was speaking to those who were caught up in concerns of status,
uncertainty of heart, and lack of true faith. Jesus taught with
parables and then demonstrated true faith and generosity by his
cruci ixion. Perhaps the mustard seed of faith allows us to move
mountains and trees so that we may see through to the horizon of
the cross. In the cross, we ind the real metric of love and
generosity that is for all who follow Him. — Tracy Earl Welliver
