About the New Jersey Safe Haven Law:
Why are states offering Safe Haven Laws? The purpose of Safe Haven is to
protect unwanted babies from being hurt or killed because they were aban-doned. You may have heard tragic stories of babies left in dumpsters or public
toilets. The parents who committed these acts may have been under severe emotional distress. The mothers may have hidden their pregnancies, fearful of
what would happen if their families found out. Because they were afraid and
had nowhere to turn for help, they abandoned their babies. Abandoning a baby puts the child in extreme danger. Too often, it results in
the child's death. It is also illegal, with severe consequences. But with Safe
Haven, this tragedy doesn't ever have to happen again. In New Jersey, no one ever has to abandon a child again.
Ann. Statutes 30:4C-15.7,8
You can leave your baby, up to 30 days old, at an emergency room of any licensed hospital or at any state, county or municipal police station in New
Jersey. For more information see:
http://safehaven.tv/states/newjersey/#info
or call 1-888-510-2229

DOYLESTOWN SHRINE CELEBRATION – The coro-
nation of the Icon of Our Lady of Czestochowa will take
place at the Doylestown shrine on Sunday, August 25th at the
12:30 pm Mass celebrated by the Most Reverend Charles
Chaput, Archbishop of Philadelphia. The icon was blessed by
Saint John Paul II. Our Holy Father, Pope Francis recently
blessed the crown which will be used at the August cere-
mony. On the occasion of the coronation, Pope Francis has
granted all pilgrims who visit the shrine until the end of Octo-
ber a plenary indulgence under the usual conditions. The
Pauline Fathers who staff the shrine invite everyone to pre-
pare spiritually for this blessed occasion through novenas,
personal prayers, night vigil prayers at the shrine, and recep-
tion of the sacrament of penance. Additional information can
be found at the shrine website: https://www.czestochowa.us/

UNIVERSALLY Know as the “Curé of Ars,” St. John Mary Vianney was ordained a priest in 1815. Three years later he was made parish priest of Ars, a remote French hamlet, where his reputation as a confessor and director of souls made him known throughout the Christian world. His life was one of extreme mortification. Accustomed to the most severe austerities, beleaguered by swarms of penitents, and besieged by the devil, this great mystic manifested imperturbable patience. He was a wonder worker loved by the crowds, but he remains to this day the living image of the priest after the Heart of Christ. He heard confessions of people from all over the world for sixteen hours each day. His life was filled with the works of charity and love. It is reported that the staunchest of sinners were converted at his mere word. He died on August 4, 1859, and was can-onized on May 31, 1925 by Pope Pius XI. PRAYER Almighty and merciful God, in St. John Vianney You have given us a Priest who was outstanding in pastoral zeal. Through his intercession help us to win men for Christ and together with them attain eternal glory. Amen.

ST. JOHN VIANNEY, Priest August 4—Patron of Priests
My dear parishioners,
Today as we celebrate the Lord’s Day we come to the 17th Sunday in Ordinary Time. The Scriptural texts speak to us about
prayer, our conversation with the Lord who shows mercy and compassion to those whom He has redeemed through the power
of the Cross. The readings testify to the intimacy which the Lord has for us, His people. Jesus instructs us to call God, “Our
Father” and Abraham haggles with the Almighty as two friends would do. The Alleluia Verse for today’s liturgy states: “You
have received a Spirit of adoption, through which we cry, Abba, Father.” This verse taken from the Apostle Paul’s Letter to
the Romans reminds us that as children of God, our Father, we can address the Divine Being in such affectionate terms. We
can do so because He loves us!
The Father’s love for us was manifested in such a magnificent manner by sending us His Only Begotten Son, our Lord, God
and Savior Jesus Christ who suffered greatly for our sins on the Cross. Through the power of His Holy Resurrection He calls
us, through Baptism, into union within the family of the Most Holy Trinity.
Prayer is the powerful means by which we communicate with God. Our prayers also unite us with the Communion of Saints,
the blessed ones who stand before the throne of Christ our God. They are able to intercede for us and help us throughout our
lives. They too are part of our family and can work miracles on our behalf in the name of the Lord. Intercessory prayer is our
tradition and it comes to us from the Apostles. We pray for ourselves and we know that others pray on our behalf as well.
What a great comfort to know that we are surrounded by others who approach God on our behalf.
This would be a good time to invite you to consider joining the Saint Padre Pio Prayer Group when it reconvenes on Wednes-
day, September 18th. The group meets every third Wednesday of the month at 7 o’clock in the evening with Holy Mass fol-
lowed by the prayer meeting. The group usually meets in the parish office but on occasion will meet in the church. In Septem-
ber we will review the book, Padre Pio: Glimpse Into the Miraculous. Also during this time we appeal to Saint Pio, a pow-
erful intercessor, to hear the petitions we present for ourselves and those who have asked us to pray for them. I hope that you
might consider joining us for this prayer time. ALSO, I invite you to consider joining the LIGHT OF CHRIST PRAYER
GROUP which meets in Hayes Hall every Tuesday evening at 7:45 for charismatic prayer and Scripture reading and sharing.
What wonderful opportunities we have here at Saint Cecilia for communal prayer. Why not check them out?
See you in church!
