Tammy Boyea Nick & Mary Lehmann Ben & Megan McMillan Stoirm Pyle Larry & Helen Sexton Thoughts From this Sunday’s Readings by Fr. John Previous reflections can be found on his blog at FrJohnMurphy.blogspot.com The theme of today’s readings is prayer. The first reading Genesis 18:20-32 provides us with an example of intercessory prayer. Our Responsorial Psalm, 138, is an example of a prayer of petition and the Gospel, Luke 11:1-13, is the Lord’s Prayer – the prayer Jesus What Do I Live for Now? God is our healer gave to us himself. Although St. Luke’s version of the Lord’s - He mends broken hearts and is the Source Prayer is shorter than the more familiar version from St. Matthew of all hope. What is His plan for you? (6:9-15) all the essential ingredients are there. Please join us for the completion of the Summer Session of GriefShare on Wednesday, July 27, 7pm-9pm in Room #102 in the Faith Formation Building. Contact Tom McBrayer at (404) 797-2488, or at [email protected] for more information. What strikes me most about this passage from St. Luke’s gospel is the example Jesus set for the disciples (and us) and their desire to learn. They watched Jesus pray and then asked him, “Lord, teach us to pray just as John taught his disciples.” Jesus then taught Can you Help?

Como suele suceder los domingos, hay un tema común entre la primera lectura y el evangelio, mientras que la segunda lectura abre un tema distinto. En este caso, el tema común es la oración y cuánto puede lograrse a través de ella. Aunque, si miramos más detenidamente, la enseñanza de hoy alude a esa forma de oración que todos conocemos y seguramente hemos practicado muchísimas veces: la oración de petición. Además, tanto en el texto del Génesis como en la lectura de San Lucas aparece un hecho: lo que se pide resulta difícil o incómodo. Esto es interesante porque de seguro nosotros mismos hemos sentido más de una vez que lo que pedimos escapa la lógica fría de los hechos y por ello es incómodo o difícil pedirlo. Pero bueno, por eso es una oración de súplica, porque no parece que las cosas vayan a darse como por sí solas! Rogando a favor de los Inocentes. En el Génesis vemos a Abraham intercediendo a favor de los que, siendo inocentes, se hallan en medio de un pueblo corrupto y vil. Las ciudades de Sodoma y Gomorra han amontonado su propia destrucción, pero Abraham no quiere que en la catástrofe que habrá de llegar perezcan juntos los culpables con los honrados. Por eso ruega, apelando a la justicia de Dios, de un modo humilde pero persistente. De su ejemplo aprendemos esas dos cualidades que son muy propias de la oración cristiana: humildad y perseverancia. También aprendemos que la oración es diálogo. Su esencia no es un estado de la mente o una sensación en el corazón. Es más que un sentimiento y mucho más que una cierta actividad neurológica en el cerebro. Ello puede tener algún valor pero nunca nos guiará al núcleo mismo del misterio maravilloso de la oración. Orar es dialogar: implica un encuentro real con Aquel que nos ama y por tanto una especie de actividad. No es pura pasividad, en sentido de "mente en blanco" o de "Nirvana" budista. Sobre esto nos ilustra muy bien el Evangelio. Rogando porque somos Hijos. Si en el texto de la primera lectura Abraham ruega fundándose en la justicia, y desde ahí argumenta que Dios nunca destruirá al inocente con el culpable, en el evangelio encontramos otro aspecto, otra razón para nuestro ruego: le hablamos a Dios porque somos sus hijos. En la oración se devela y a la vez se hace efectivo el misterio de nuestra condición de hijos, que Cristo predicó y que también hizo posible con su sacrificio redentor, que hizo posible el don del Espíritu Santo para nosotros. El fundamento último de nuestra oración no es entonces que queremos un mundo mejor, porque eso lo puede querer cualquier ser dotado de razón; no es tampoco que merecemos una vida distinta o ser exentos de tales o cuales dolores o problemas. Ni es tampoco porque seamos buenos o libres de culpa. Oramos porque somos hijos. Oramos porque el Espíritu del Hijo ora en nosotros. Y por eso oramos con perseverancia, sencillez, confianza y sobre todo con inmenso amor, convencidos como estamos de que Dios sabe qué es lo mejor para nosotros y puede y quiere otorgárnoslo. Amén.

Seventeenth Sunday in Ordinary Time Pro-Life Rosary. F or more than 20 years, Holy Trinity has been praying for the unborn, their parents and families and for our nation. You are invited to join this Pro-life apostolate. The Pro-life rosary begins at 11am every Friday in the Adoration Chapel. Please come when you can to lift up those children in danger of abortion, for families that wish desperately for a child, for pro-life legislators and judges throughout our country, for sacramental marriage and religious freedom.

Wherever you are at 11am on Thursdays, please take a moment to say a prayer in support of their Pro-Life prayer witness to end abortion. The “Differences” Between the Baby in the Womb and the Newborn Baby There are four "differences" between the baby in the mother's womb (or so-called fetus) who has no protection under the law from a newborn baby, who is protected: Mary, Joseph and 7-year-old Jesus embark on a journey from Egypt to Nazareth after the young boy miraculously brings someone back to life. When King Herod orders the death of the child, Roman centurion 1. Size. The baby in the womb is usually smaller than newborns. The question, then, is what does size have to do with rights of Severus starts to pursue the family across the desert. As Mary and personhood? The answer: nothing. Joseph worry about his safety, Jesus' natural curiosity allows him to understand more about the world and his remarkable powers. 2. Level of development. Babies in the womb are less developed than a newborn (unless the newborn is born prematurely).

Abortion protagonists love to argue that, "since a fetus cannot survive on its own, it has no inherent right to life". The problem with this argument is that to varying degrees, we are all dependent on others. Moreover, newborn babies and small children are absolutely dependent upon their parents for survival. What is absurd about this line of thinking is the fact that dependency should merit more protection under the law, not less! We are all far more outraged, for example, at violence towards children than at violence towards other adults. The reaHearing Devices are available for your convenience son is obvious.

RCIA: For those already started on the journey to the Catholic Church, we will be offering more structured sessions utilizing the Faith Clips series, featuring Bishop Robert Barron. Our Gospel Reading today centers around the Lord’s Prayer, the Our Father. This prayer was taught to us by Jesus Himself, and can be broken down into seven petitions, “the object of the first 3 petitions is the glory of the Father… the 4 others present our wants to him: they ask that our lives be nourished, healed of sin, and made victorious in the struggle of good over evil.” Need information on Annulments or Convalidations?
