us the grace and
strength to accept this burden.
Please remember to pray for
the safety and well being of all of our soldiers in harm’s way,
especially Bill Politz, Brian Mifflin, Ryan McNeal, Chris Aydt
and Mark Rice. “Lord, hold our troops in your loving hands.
Protect them as they protect us. Bless them and their families
for the selfless acts they perform for us in our time of need.
Amen.” Pray for their families who wait anxiously for them to
safely return home, for the innocent victims of war, for our
leaders who make the decisions.

*Reasons
to go to Mass: 9. We need ritual in our lives. Mass is a ritual,
which means that through the repetition of prayers, movements and
the changing of bread and wine into the Body and Blood of Christ, we
are formed, disciplined and consoled. The “sameness” of the Mass
carries us along the spiritual journey—even when we don’t “feel”
like praying. The “sameness” of the ritual allows us to be
transformed on a soul level, even if we are unaware of what is
happening. 10. We need to experience something bigger than
ourselves. When we go to Mass, we share in the death and
resurrection of Jesus. When we offer our ordinary lives to God
through Jesus, we enter into God’s great plan for the world. We are
strengthened by the Eucharist and sent out into the world to bring
the Gospel message to all people. The Mass gives meaning and
purpose to our lives. It gives us a sense of destiny and offers the
kind of peace that the world cannot give. It helps us develop a
sense of wonder and awe. It helps us to see that there is something
bigger than ourselves.
*IMMIGRATION INFORMATION CAMPAIGN – from Bishop Gettelfinger
Perceived Myth: Immigrants don’t pay taxes. Known fact: Immigrants
pay taxes, in the form of income, property, sales and taxes at the
federal and state level. As far as income tax payments go, sources
vary in their accounts, but a range of studies find that immigrants
pay between $90 and $140 billion a year in federal, state and local
taxes. Undocumented immigrants pay income taxes as well, as
evidenced by the Social Security Administration’s “suspense file”
(taxes that cannot be matched to workers’ names and social security
numbers), which grew by $20 billion between 1990 and 1998. (Source:
