Pro Life Message The impact on my life was tremendous. I bounced around from troubled relationship to troubled rela- tionship. Strangely enough, I didn't even realize why I only dated people that would hurt me. And anytime I dated a "nice" guy, I would do something to ruin it. In fact, at 39 I was single (again) and wanted so much for someone to love me for me. And I finally gave in and let GOD decide who I should date, and what I was looking for in a man. We found each oth- er online, and we did everything right and followed His will. As we dated, I even told him of my abor- tions...he was the first person I really told. I became Catholic and, in 2009, we married. I went to my first confession before my confirmation. The "relief" I felt after confessing...didn't seem enough, because I still didn't believe that GOD could/would forgive me. ...and after all that I've done...GOD does for- give, does love me, and has always been there...reaching out for me.

Farmer to Farmer Program Catholic Rural Life is collaborating with Catholic Relief Service to implement the Farmer- to-Farmer program. The program promotes sustainable eco- nomic growth, food security and agricultural devel- opment. They are looking for volunteer technical assistance from US farmers, business people, uni- versities, etc., to help develop productivity, to ac- cess new markets and conserve environmental and natural resources. Volunteers work with farmers, producer groups, rural businesses and service pro- viders. Volunteers are not paid, but all expenses are covered by CRS, including pre-departure costs (passport, visa, vaccinations), airfare, lodging, meals and in-country transportation. Presently there are around 500 projects in Ethiopia, Tanzania, Uganda and Kenya. . Length of volunteer service is generally for several weeks.

Prayer for the New Evangelization Lord Jesus Christ, you have given Your Church the mis- sion to proclaim the Gospel to all the nations. May our efforts to fulfill this mission be guided by the Holy Spirit so that we might be a leaven of new life, salt of the earth and a light to the world, worthy missionaries and faithful to You. Make us valiant witnesses to the Faith of the Church and inspire us to speak the truth with love. Help us to com- municate to to others the joy that we have received. Permit us to be united but no closed, humble but not fear- ful, simple but not nave, thoughtful but not overbearing, contemporary, but not superficial, respectful of others but boldly your disciple's. May we bear into the world the hope of God who is Christ the Lord who rose from the dead and lives with and reigns with God and the Holy Spirit one God forever and ever . Amen Mass Intentions As Catholics, we have a long tradition of having Masses celebrated for those we wish to offer up in prayer. The Mass is the ultimate form of prayer, and each Mass is celebrated for an intention. Please consider having Masses celebrated for family and friends on special occasions and anniversaries, as well as those who are in need of prayers. Masses are also encouraged in memory of those loved ones who have died, especially on the anniversaries of their deaths. Contact Fr. Cory for more information! The Merciful Out Look Is? Fr. Michael Gaitley, MIC, urges lay Catholics to respond to Christs thirst for souls by developing a merciful outlooka search for occasions that call for mercy. Following John Paul II in Dives in Misericordia, (Dives in Misericordia (Latin for "Rich in Mercy"), Gaitley sees the merciful outlook as a bilateral reality, As we give it, we also receive it. deep-sea diving: knowing there is buried treasure in the other, a facet of the face of Christ not found in any other, and swimming through murky waters to find it;

July 13, 2014 - 15th Sunday in Ordinary Time
"The seed sown among thorns is the one who hears the word but then the cares of the world and the lure of riches choke the word and it bears no fruit." - Matthew 13:22
Does the lure of riches and material goods choke God out of your life? Are you so caught up in worldly activities and anxieties that you have no time for God? Good stewardship is a lifestyle to be lived every day. It effects all the decisions we make. It's not just the time we spend at Mass every Sunday.

Prayer For US Elections
O God, we acknowledge You today as Lord, Not only of individuals, but of nations and governments.
We thank You for the privilege Of being able to organize ourselves politically And of knowing that political loyalty does not have to mean disloyalty to You.
We thank You for Your law, which our Founding Fathers acknowledged and recognized as higher than any human law. We thank You for the opportunity that this election year puts before us, To exercise our solemn duty not only to vote, but to influence countless others to vote, And to vote correctly.
Lord, we pray that Your people may be awakened. Let them realize that while politics is not their salvation, their response to You requires that they be politically active.
Awaken Your people to know that they are not called to be a sect fleeing the world But rather a community of faith renewing the world.
Awaken them that the same hands lifted up to You in prayer (http://www.catholic.org/prayers)are the same hands that pull the lever in the voting booth; that the same eyes that read Your Word , are the eyes that read the names on the ballot, and that they do not cease to be Christians when they enter the voting booth.
Awaken Your people to a commitment to justice, To the sanctity of marriage and the family, To the dignity of each individual human life, And to the truth that human rights begin when Human Lives begin, And not one moment later.
Lord, we rejoice today That we are citizens of Your kingdom. May that make us all the more committed to being faithful citizens on earth.
