"Take courage, it is I; do not be
afraid."
Peter said to Him in reply,
"Lord, if it is You, command me
to come to You on the
water."
He said, "Come."
Peter got out of the boat and
began to walk on the water
toward Jesus.
But when he saw how strong
the wind was he became
frightened;
and, beginning to sink, he cried
out, "Lord, save me!"
Immediately Jesus stretched
out His hand and caught
Peter,
and said to him, "O you of
little faith, why did you doubt?"

Elijah recognized the voice of God not in the strong
and heavy wind, not in the earthquake, and not in the
fire, but in a tiny whispering sound. May we find
enough quiet in our clamorous world to hear His
voice and discern what He is calling us to be and do.

PASTOR’S CORNER
POPE FRANCIS’ INTENTIONS FOR
August 2017
Artists
That artists of our time, through their ingenuity, may
help everyone discover the beauty of creation.
Welcome one and all to our celebration of the 19th Sunday in Ordinary Time. We
are delighted that you joined us for holy Mass.
In many ways, we resemble St. Peter. In today’s Gospel, Jesus walking on water
in the midst of a storm. The disciples were all frightened; they thought that they
are seeing a ghost. But Jesus tells them, “It is I and do not be afraid.” Peter said to
Him in reply, ‘Lord, if it is You, command me to come to You on the water.’ He
said, ‘Come’. Peter got out of the boat and began to walk on the water towards Je-
sus." But then, St. Peter began to sink. Why did this happen? Because he lost his
focus. Instead of remaining focused on Jesus, he turned away and then began to
see "how strong the wind was." Yes, when St. Peter changed his focus — away
from Jesus, he began to sink and then cried out, "Lord, save me!"
We do resemble St. Peter, do we not? We often initially obey Christ’s word, but
how quickly we lose our focus when we no longer keep our eyes fixed on Jesus.
So, the lesson is clear: we must remain focused on Jesus, for He alone is "the Way,
the Truth and the Life" for each of us. In all of life’s events, in both the good and
the not so good, in the expected and in the unexpected, in sunshine and in shadow,
we must keep our eyes — and our hearts — fixed on the Lord Jesus!
My simple prayer for each one of us is that we always fix our eyes on the Lord
Jesus all the days of our life.
May God bless your week.

Pastor
ENDOW, offers small study groups as a primary
means of connecting women in faith and friendship
while exploring Catholic teachings with trained
facilitators. ENDOW is pleased to invite you to the
Fall study of Aquinas for Beginners I. Here we
explore what St. Thomas Aquinas has to teach us
about the virtues and the essential purpose of
living the moral life as Catholic women.
Readers are taken on a mini-tour of his famous
teachings such as the human person as a union of
body and soul, five reasons for existence of God
and how to understand human passions.
The study provides a great opportunity for women
of faith to stretch themselves intellectually as they
grow spiritually.
Join us! Where: Our Lady of the Mountains Library
Time & Date: September 19 continuing 8-10 weeks,
weekly, from 4:30-6:00
