Dear Jesus, Divine Physician and Healer of the sick, we turn to You in

this time of illness.  O Dearest Comforter of the troubled, alleviate our

worry and sorrow with Your gentle love, and grant 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: http://www.immigrationforum.org/about/articles/tax_study.htm)  For more information www.indianacc.org Indiana Catholic Conference 317-236-1455

*We have an opportunity for an in depth study and prayer experience with Scripture for those who are really serious and willing to give a priority to this commitment.  This is an eight week program from Aug. 4-Sept. 26, 2008.  The cost is $50 per person and includes all materials. Some topics are: Various types of writing in the Bible, Translations of the Bible, How our Catholic Bible came to be, Jesus in the New Testament, Inspiration and Revelation. In order for us to have the program here at St. Peter, we need 50 people to sign up. If you are interested please sign up on the sheet on the bulletin board at the back of church.

*Please sign up to clean the Church in May.
