THE COSTS OF DISCIPLESHIP
Today’s responsorial psalm, Psalm 40, is more familiar to us with
the refrain “Here am I Lord.” This “Here am I” is Jeremiah’s
great prophe c response to God’s call. But today’s story of
Jeremiah and the refrain “Lord, come to my aid!” remind us
that there are always two sides to following the call of God. The
author of the Le er to the Hebrews knew this, too. He
reminded his readers that even weighted down with burdens
and sins, we can s ll persevere by keeping our eyes fixed on
Jesus, who himself knew the shame and pain of the cross, but
saw beyond it to the joy of si ng at the right of the throne of
God. Jesus himself gave the disciples a “sneak preview” of a
bap sm that would not be as wondrous as the one in the Jordan
that inaugurated his ministry, but would be one of fire and
anguish. Today’s words from scripture may not be terribly
soothing, but in their honesty and strength we can acknowledge
the difficul es of daily discipleship, and take comfort in the
assurance of our own salva on in Christ.

Offertory Collection July 30/31: $14,903.65
In today’s second reading, St. Paul encourages us
not to grow weary or lose heart, but to persevere in
following Jesus. Our willingness to give of
ourselves, even in the face of conflict and division, is one way to
measure our discipleship.
Next week’s second collection is for the
support of St. Mary School.
The Assumption of Mary is not a Holy Day of Obligation
this year because it falls on a Monday. Masses will be the
regular daily Mass schedule.

lift to the men and women that sacrifice so much
for our nation. If you know someone who would
benefit from our support, please contact the
parish office at 850-243-3742. Watch the
Sunday Bulletin for notice of future activities in
support of our military and their families. A
sincere thanks to all of our men and women in
uniform. God bless!

MINISTRY OF THE WEEK
THE THRIFT SHOP
It is important for our parish
community to reach out to those
less fortunate in our local city
community. The clothing and small household
items, jewelry, and other items that are donated to
the Thrift Shop help not only those in our parish,
but in the community as well. All of the proceeds
from the Thrift Shop go to St. Mary School to help
with necessary upkeep and improvements.
The Thrift Shop is like any retail store. Volunteers
cheerfully greet customers and help them find
things in the store and ring up their sales. The
workers also get the donations ready for display
and sale to the public. The store is located at
38 Robinwood Drive and is open Wednesdays from
9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. and Fridays from 9:00 a.m.
to 3:00 p.m.
There are two ways to help the Thrift Shop. One is
by donating items to the shop and the other is by
volunteering as a worker.
Donations can be
dropped off at the Thrift Shop during their business
hours. If you are interested in volunteering your
time as a worker, give the parish office a call at
243-3742. Either way, you are helping those in
our community.
OUR LADY OF GUADALUPE TILMA
Presently, the Tilma is being shared each week by parish
families. If you wish to have the Tilma in your home for
one week and pray the Rosary contact Lancy Colaco at
850-244-0651.

church. Work will be done in stages, so we ask for
your patience during the renovation process.

From Mary Pickard
Director of Religious Ed.
Parents, you are the first
educators of your children and
you continue that job all your
lives. I would like to share with
you some quotations from a book of meditations from St. John
Baptist de la Salle, one of the patron saints of teachers.
Do not forget to help them acquir e
gentleness,
patience,
love and respect
for their parents,
and all the conduct that is proper
to a Christian child, in a word,
all that our religion demands of them.
In what ways do I teach my students gentleness,
patience, love and respect?
Vigésimo Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario
EL COSTO DE SER DISCÍPULO
El Salmo responsorial de hoy, Salmo 40 (39), nos es muy familiar por el refrán "Señor, date prisa
en socorrerme". La historia de Jeremías hoy y el refrán "¡Señor, date prisa en socorrerme!" nos
recuerda que siempre hay dos caminos para seguir el llamado de Dios. El autor de la Carta a los
Hebreos también lo sabía. Él recordaba a sus lectores que aunque nos agobien desgracias y
pecados, podemos todavía perseverar si mantenemos nuestros ojos fijos en Jesús, quien
también conoció la vergüenza y el dolor de la cruz, pero vio más allá del sufrimiento, el gozo de
sentarse a la derecha del trono de Dios.
Jesús mismo dio a sus discípulos una "idea" de un bautismo que no sería tan maravilloso como el del Jordán que
Inauguró su ministerio, sino de fuego y angustia. Las palabras de la Sagrada Escritura hoy pueden no ser terriblemente
apaciguadoras, pero en su honestidad y fortaleza podemos reconocer las dificultades que el discípulo enfrenta a diario,
