REST IN THE LORD For several weeks we have listened to readings that have recounted just how arduous the work of prophets and disciples can be. In today’s Gospel, the Lord Jesus listens to the reports of those he had sent out “two by two” to minister to the people. After the apostles reported what they had done, Jesus, recognizing their fatigue, says, “Come away by yourselves to a deserted place and rest awhile” (Mark 6:31). Perhaps this is what the Lord is telling his disciples in the year 2018 as well. We need to pause on our journey of discipleship and simply rest in the Lord. Sunday Mass provides many opportunities for quiet times, particularly during the periods of silence following the readings. Why not take the time today to allow the saving word of the Lord to penetrate your heart during those silent times? Ask the Lord to renew you in body, mind, and spirit for the arduous work of discipleship. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

TODAY’S READINGS First Reading — I shall gather the remnant of my flock and bring them back to their meadow (Jeremiah 23:1-6). Psalm — The Lord is my shepherd; there is nothing I shall want (Psalm 23). Second Reading — In Christ Jesus you who were once far off have become near by the blood of Christ (Ephesians 2:13-18). Gospel — When Jesus saw the vast crowd, his heart was moved with pity for them, and he began to teach them many things (Mark 6:30-34).

READINGS FOR THE WEEK Monday: Mi 6:1-4, 6-8; Ps 50:5-6, 8-9, 16bc-17, 21, 23; Mt 12:38-42 Tuesday: Mi 7:14-15, 18-20; Ps 85:2-8; Mt 12:46-50 Wednesday: 2 Cor 4:7-15; Ps 126:1bc-6; Mt 20:20-28 Thursday: Jer 2:1-3, 7-8, 12-13; Ps 26:6-7ab, 8-11; Mt 13:10-17 Friday: Jer 3:14-17; Jer 31:10-13; Mt 13:18-23 Saturday: Jer 7:1-11; Ps 84:3-6a, 8a, 11; Mt 13:24-30 Sunday: 2 Kgs 4:42-44; Ps 145:10-11, 15-18; Eph 4:1-6; Jn 6:1-15

God’s love for us and our love for God aren’t seasonal.

We teach our children the importance of consistency in things that are important

(e.g. brushing one’s teeth). Praying in church is a necessary action

for us, Catholics. The Mass is the greatest prayer.

Bring your children to Mass on Sundays. We need to thank God.

We need blessings, forgiveness, inspiration and God’s peace, even when school is out.

Sponsors for Baptism and Confirmation

Being a sponsor (Godparent, spiritual parent) is a sacramental ministry. The sponsor takes part in the ritual as a Catholic and provides example from his/her life through living and acting as a full member of the Catholic Church. Because of the seriousness of this ministry, the Church has the following require-ments: +The sponsor must be fully initiated into the Catholic Church through Baptism, Confirmation and Eucharist, and be at least 16 years of age. +The sponsor must be a Catholic who has an active life in the Church and provides good example. Someone married outside the church is not able to be a sponsor. Also, a Catholic who has left the Church is not permitted to stand as a sponsor of a new member into the church.
