Giving Thanks For Summer
Father, Creator of all, thank You for summer! Thank You for the warmth of the sun and the
increased daylight. Thank You for the beauty I see all around me and for the opportunity to be outside and enjoy Your creation. Thank You for the increased time I have to be with my friends and family, and for the more casual pace of the
summer season. Draw me closer to You this summer. Teach me how I can pray no matter where I am or what I am doing. Warm my soul with the awareness of Your presence and light
my path with Your Word and Counsel. As I enjoy Your creation, create in me a pure heart and a
hunger and a thirst for You.

TO OUR GUESTS OF ST. PIUS X
We hope that God will grant you peace and
rest while you are under our roof today.
May this church be your “second home”.
May those you love be near you in
thought and prayer.
Even though we may not get to know you,
We pray that you will be comfortable and happy
as if you were in your own church home.
May whatever need brought you our
way find a hearing God.
When you leave, may your journey be safe.
We pray you feel God’s peace

GOSPEL MEDITATION GOSPEL MEDITATION GOSPEL MEDITATION GOSPEL MEDITATION
This Sunday, Jesus reminds us that "the harvest is abundant but the laborers are few." As Catholic
disciples, we are the laborers that the Master is sending. All around us are opportunities to share the love
and mercy of Jesus Christ - our homes, our workplaces, our neighborhoods, even our faith communities!
Lest we feel unequipped for the task, Jesus gives us some advice.
"Carry no money bag, no sack, no sandals." We might not have a theology degree or training in public
speaking, but that doesn't mean we can't share the Gospel. The power of God is at work in simplicity.
The disciples went forth with nothing as a reminder to trust in the Providence of God. Say a little prayer
that God will speak through you and has a need for your gifts, just as you are.
"Do not move about from one house to another." So much of the life of Jesus was about relationships.
He modeled this attitude by journeying with his disciples. Here he makes the same recommendation to
them, to remain with the same family for their entire stay in the town. Break bread with others. Invite
them to coffee or a game night in your home. Sharing your faith isn't just about saying the right thing,
but loving well over time.
"The dust of your town that clings to our feet, even that we shake off." Sometimes we want to help
someone, but for whatever reason, they don't receive it well. Sometimes people aren't interested in our
efforts to invite them deeper into faith. When rejection happens, don't carry it with you. Don't let it over
-burden your heart. Rejoice that you share in the mission of Christ, and keep on loving the next person
He places in your path!
