As Christians, we contemplate and practice the presence of God in our lives. However, we respect the mystery of not ever having the complete picture of divine providence. In the words of St. Augustine, the Doctor of Grace: “Si enim comprehendis, non est Deus” (“If you understand it, it is not God.”). Fr. Frisoni 
What is our vision of Jesus the Lord?
May you have a blessed feast of the Transfiguration today, August 6.

WELCOME TO THE PASTORAL COUNCIL We have a new pastoral council member discerned for our joint pastoral council: Konrad Drzymalski from St. Adalbert Parish.

Friends, I hope yesterday was a day of good works in God’s way for you. May today’s saint, Alphonsus Liguori, help us in our progress toward the divine vision, even when we have difficult days. Here is his reflection on the second station — Jesus carries his cross. “Consider how Jesus, in making this journey with the cross on his shoulders thought of us, and for us offered to his Father the death he was about to undergo. My most beloved Jesus, I embrace all the tribulations you have destined for me until death. I beseech you, by the merits of the pain you suffered in carrying your cross, to give me the necessary help to carry mine with perfect patience and resignation. I love you, Jesus my love; I repent of having offended you. Never permit me to separate myself from you again. Grant that I may love you always; and then do with me what you will.” Fr. Frisoni July 31, 2020 Dear friends, Here are some words of wisdom from St. Ignatius of Loyola, the founder of the Jesuits, whose feast day is today, July 31: “We should never postpone a good work, no matter how small it may be, with the thought of later doing something greater. It is a very common temptation of the enemy to be always placing before us the perfection of things to come and bring us to make little of the present.” Happy Friday, and happy day of doing good, Fr. Frisoni July 30, 2020 In the genesis of history, God brought life from an empty womb. In the fullness of time, Mary gives birth to Jesus Christ. Then, Jesus is placed in a virgin tomb. Three days later at the beginning of our salvation history, this empty tomb is a sign that God has delivered on his promise of eternal life. Dear Lord, may I not fear emptiness in my life, for from these experiences, you will fill me with life and hope. July 22, 2020 Please join us in praying and fasting(if your health permits) for the end of abortion in this Country on Friday 24th July, the Vigil of the Feast of St James. Read Prayer and Fasting for Life for more information.  Mr. Marco Spataro
