August 2: God Does Much with Little

By

Today’s gospel is the familiar story of the mysterious multiplication of the loaves and fishes to feed a hungry crowd. It is the only miracle to appear in all four gospels. Matthew tells the story twice. This gospel is seen as anticipating the Eucharist and the heavenly banquet. It also points us back to the feeding of the Israelites with manna in the desert at the time of the Exodus.

This is a gospel story about what God can do. Only God can take our simple offerings and transform them into something wonderful. This is what happens in every celebration of the Eucharist when we repeat Jesus’ actions of taking, blessing, breaking, and giving.

When have you experienced God doing something wonderful with little things you have? How does the celebration of the Eucharist help you to keep your eyes open to great things God can do?

Mission Appeal for Maryknoll Lay Missioners on August 8/9, 2020

By

This year, the Center for Mission has assigned the Maryknoll Lay Missioners (MKLM) for our annual Mission Appeal. MKLM is the largest Catholic lay mission sending community in the US, representing laity in global mission.

Because of the corona virus, which has caused limited participation at Mass, we have decided to promote the mission of MKLM in a virtual process. Father Bill Vos, who spent almost 20 years with the Maryknoll Lay Missioners in Eastern Africa, has prepared a video homily for us to use next Sunday on the 19th Sunday of Ordinary Time. Click this YouTube link to watch Fr. Bill’s video.

For those of you who are not able to attend Mass, you can view the video and make your mission donation as Father Vos indicates, namely by writing a check to Risen Savior with Mission Appeal in the memo section, or simply bring your mission donation to the parish office during office hours. You can also donate directly online at MKLM.ORG.

This once-a-year opportunity is a wonderful way for all of us to participate in the ongoing global mission to bring the Good News of Jesus Christ to the ends of the earth!

Thank you for your participation and support!

Holy Day: The Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary

By

This year, August 15,  the Holy Day for the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary into heaven occurs on a Saturday. Because of this, there is no obligation to attend Mass. Also, the archbishop’s dispensation from the obligation to attend Mass on Sundays and Holy Days is still in effect during the pandemic.
