Before you read this take a deep breath and exhale slowly.
Inhale and exhale, breathing in and out multiple times each
minute is an automatic activity essential to life. How
ridiculous it would be for someone to ask us, "which is
more important: inhaling or exhaling?" We would
immediately recognize that without both activities we
cease to exist.
Inhale too frequently and we hyperventilate, eventually
passing out. Hold our breath refusing to exhale the same

completely is the optimal response for our bodies. We are
created for this balanced, rhythmic activity. Such a basic
movement enables our existence and enhances all we do.
Elite athletes often travel to high altitude training
centers to use this basic breathing in and out to work out
and improve their athletic abilities. The high altitude
training enhances the capacity to perform through the basic
act of inhaling and exhaling. As the athlete trains, the body
trains as well, modifying itself to later carry more oxygen
through the blood to all parts of the body.
Prayer and service are the inhaling and exhaling of the
spiritual life. Neither has a priority and each aids the other
in strengthening our service to the Lord.
Contemplation is the high altitude training of the spiritual
life. Through meditation, our prayer enables us to receive
God's grace throughout every aspect of our life.
Mary and Martha are the supporting characters in this
week's gospel reading as we continue with another "on the
road story" with Jesus heading towards Jerusalem. The
women in this story are too often portrayed as squabbling
siblings. T heirs is not a story about a bossy, demanding
hostess and her lazy sister. Rather they are living examples
of the necessary pairing of prayer and service. Disciples of
Jesus are not excused from service nor are we called to a
life of private contemplation. The gospel story does not
ask us to pick a winner, either Martha or Mary. It asks us
to listen to the breathing of Jesus -- inhaling, exhaling-calling us to prayer and to service, balanced in our life,
enriching our days, and keeping us on the road with Jesus,
journeying towards the Father, living in the Kingdom of
God.
Summer offers us the opportunity to examine our
breathing. Is there a measured, steady balance in our faith
life? Have we been running too hard for too long, gasping
for air? Have we been sedentary, needing some deep
breathing exercises? The choice is not Martha or Mary,
prayer or service, but rather setting our breath in harmony
with God's, sending life and love to the world. Breathe in
deeply the love of God. Let that breath be exhaled in love
and service to others.

Love Once More
Children’s Liturgy of the Word
Children's Liturgy of the Word will be taking a little summer
time off in order to take family trips and vacations for the
next few weeks. We WILL be back along with the Folk
Group Choir the weekend of August 4th. Have a blessed
wonderful summer.
Have you recently married again after one or both of you
lost a spouse through death or divorce? Or are you
preparing to enter a remarriage? Are you forming a
stepfamily together? Remarried family life is more complex
and often more challenging than for first-married families,
even if only one of you was married before. Couples who
learn about what makes remarriage unique, and develop
the skills to meet these challenges together, are much
better equipped to build strong marriages.
Are you interested in becoming
Catholic?
Then be sure to attend our RCIA Inquiry Session on

God’s Gladiator
Should you be interested in
miracles, visions and angels read “
God’s Gladiator” by Richard Hardy.
Richard has been attending Holy
Cross since 1992 and working with
the Archdiocese of Atlanta from
1995 to 2012. "God's Gladiator" is
his true life story how he endured
the Nazis, the Soviets and made
his way to the United States of
America and fought himself up the
business ladder in the US and
International business world,
encountering the KKK, the Nazi
Odessa organization, the PLO and other infamous
situations and persons. It’s about how God intervenes and
shields his disciple to become a key manager in the
Archdiocese of Atlanta. Meet Richard himself in the
gathering area after the 9am and 11:30am Masse s today

Thursday Morning Bible Study – The Bible Timeline: This year, a Thursday morning study is being added to our Bible study
classes. Titled “The Bible Timeline,” this study invites you to go deep into each period of salvation history and discover the
amazing story woven throughout all of Scripture. Learn the major people, places and events o f the Bible and see how they all
come together to reveal the remarkable story o f our faith. Explore salvation history – from its beginning in Genesis through the
coming of Christ and the establishment of the Catholic Church. This class begins Sept. 5 and will be held from 10:15 – 11: 45
a.m. in Rooms 9-10 of the Religious Education Building. Please register by Aug. 11 to ensure your spot in the class, save on

Thursday Evening Bible Study – Book of Genesis: A 29-week study of the Book of Genesis (from Catholic
Scripture Study International) will be held on Thursday evenings, beginning Sept. 5, in the Parish Hall. Classes
will run from 7:30 – 9:15 p.m. In the beginning … That’s what Genesis is, the beginning of the world and all
living things and God created it all. In this book, one will also discover the answer to those age-old questions:
Where did I come from? Why am I here? What is the purpose of my life? The answers to these questions and
many more are found in this in-depth study. Genesis also sets the stage for God’s plan of redemption and plants
the seeds of many important doctrines and Christian teachings that unfold in the rest of the Bible. Without Genesis, the Bble is
incomprehensible, which makes this a “must” study! Please register by Aug. 11 to ensure your spot in the class, save on
registration fees and guarantee that your book is here prior to the start of classes. Registration forms are available on our websi te,
http://holycrossatlanta.org/ministries/education -ministries/. For information about this class , contact: Cindy Durham, 770-9386511 or (404) 713-9117 (cell). Or, email: [email protected].
"Restless Heart: The
Confessions of Augustine"
At AMC Phipps Plaza 14 Buckhead, Thursday, July 25,
7:30pm. Back by popular demand!
Luxury Seating. Tix $10 in advance.

[email protected] or 678-770-6400. Get
your ticket NOW before they sell out - invite your single
and married friends, family, co-workers. Rated PG-13. NO
tickets will be sold at the door!
RESTLESS HEART uses a historic backdrop to tell the true
story of Augustine of Hippo – one of the Catholic Church’s
most beloved and well-known Saints. Its message is as
timely today as it was only a few generations after Jesus
walked on Earth. It is the story of one who pursues fame
and fo rtune without a moral compass – and the changes that
occur when ev ents lead him to see the light. It also
chronicles the collapse o f the Roman world and how
Augustine laid the intellectual found ations of what became
Europe. Filmed in Europe, this new epic film is the first full
-length feature movie about St. Augustine.

16º Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario
Al escuchar este Evangelio siempre tendemos a interpretarlo equivocadamente, sobretodo
cuando pensamos que María, la contemplativa, es la buena y Martha, la acti va, es la mala. La
conducta de Martha -que también es amiga de Jesús- ignora los grandes beneficios que se
alcanzan al poner a Jesús como centro de nuestra vida. Los quehaceres cotidianos la absorben y
difícilmente puede sentarse a escuchar al Maestro. Es como la semilla que cae en tierra estéril. La
gran diferencia es que María se sienta a los pies del Maestro a escuchar de la palabra de Dios. Ya
el trabajo se hará después. ¿Cuál es tu opinión de estas dos mujeres? ¿Qué actitudes de ambas
debemos de imitar?
Todo es cuestión de fe y de darnos cuenta de que Jesús ofrece a sus discípulos el saber
discernir y actuar tomando la mejor parte en cada momento de nuestras vidas. Los papeles de
Martha y de María son esenciales. No debemos de estar rezando cuando tenemos alguna
responsabilidad que cumplir, ni debemos de trabajar cuando es el tiempo de estar con el Maestro.

actividad que no tenemos tiempo de entrar a alguna iglesia para visitar al Santísimo. Ojalá que la
palabra de Dios no quede sofocada en nuestro activismo. No olvidemos que en Cristo nosotros
somos la revelación de Dios para otros. Nuestra meta debe saber tener balance en la vida. El
personaje de María es el modelo a seguir y ella le invita a Martha a hacer lo mismo.

Recuerden que LA CELEBRACION DE LOS QUINCE
AÑOS NO ES UN SACRAMENTO. Eso no significa que no
se le da el lugar que merece con sencillez, respeto, y
devoción. Así como se participa de la fiesta es
IMPORTANTE que se viva la fe como debe de ser con
sinceridad y amor.
Jesús nos llama a cada una de nosotros estemos en donde
estemos no porque seamos pecadores si no porque nos
quiere mas puros, mas santos. Si ese mujer y si eres
mayor de 18 años, entonces para ti es el llamado del día
de hoy. El esta en tu puerta tocando, le quieres abrir? Al
igual que a Mateo el Señor te dice hoy “SIGUEME”.
Porque? Tal vez no lo sepas pero el Señor ya tiene su plan
contigo, quieres descubrir ese plan?
Para muchas familias cristianas, católicas que vienen a las
iglesias para celebrar los QUINCEAÑOS de una joven, es
motivo de alegría y entusiasmo. Se preparan con las
mejores expectativas. Por eso, la atención no es solo lo
social y festivo que implica, sino también su significado
religioso que lleva a la cristiana que se debe manifestar.

Respect Life will host a lunch for the Crossroad youths on
Sunday, July 28, at 2 :00 pm in room 7 & 8 in our Religious
Education Bldg. Everyone is encouraged to join in support of the
work these youth pro-life warriors are doing to save the unborn.
Crossroads was f ounded in 1995 by Steve Sanborn, a student at Franciscan Univ ersity of
Steubenv ille (Ohio) as a response to John Paul II’s call to the youth of the world to take an
activ e role in the pro-lif e movement in order to establish a Culture of Life. An integral part of
Crossroads is our y early pro-lif e pilgrimages across the United States. Each summer, young
adults walk on four simultaneous pro-lif e walks across America from Seattle, San Francisco, San Jose and Los Angeles to
Washington, D.C.. Walking ov er 12,000 miles and through 40 states, these y oung people hope to convert the hearts and minds of
others – at the grass-roots level – by witnessing to the dignity and sanctity of all human lif e, from the moment of conception to
natural death.
