Fifteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time

Todays gospel is the parable of the sower. God is the sower who has given life and
love abundantly to our families. But is his love growing and bearing fruit? May our
families be the fertile ground that receives Gods love with joy and grows generous,
loving and responsible people? Dont let anxiety and the lure of riches choke out his
Word.

Eternal rest grant unto her, O Lord!

327 Holy Hours were kept before the Blessed Sacrament this past week. As
Jesus began to pray, He started to sweat blood; not because of the thought of
what He had to suffer on the Cross, for He knew that by His holy Cross He would
redeem the world, but rather because of His realization, that the gift He had just
given to us on Holy Thursday night.the complete gift of Himself and His total
love in the Eucharist, would be appreciated by so few and rejected by so many.
(Mother Teresa of Calcutta) We have a vacant hour: Wednesday 4-5pm. Please call
Pat to commit to his hour 330-703-9280. Attention all Wednesday Adorers, your Holy
Hour captain for the next 6 months is also Pat. Call her when you are unable to keep
your Hour or with all your questions and concerns about Wednesday!

Please pray for all our teens attending the Steubenville Youth Conference this
weekend, may the Holy Spirit fill them and impact their lives in a powerful way.
