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. - Author Unknown
MARY, THE “THEOTOKOS” The Greek word
“theotokos” means
“God Bearer,” and
it is a title given to
the Blessed Mother.
As we approach the
marking of her as-
sumption into heav-
en (August 15), let’s
ponder this image
on the tabernacle in
Geddes Hall at
Notre Dame Uni-
versity. Just as she
bore the Christ child
in her womb, Mary held him in her arms at his
death—she was the God bearer Jesus’s entire life on
earth. What a fitting image for a tabernacle contain-
ing the body of Christ! Holy Mary, Mother of God,
pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death.
Amen. Photo credit: Carolyn Pirtle

STATE OF LIFE LUNCHEON, WITH DAYTON
RIGHT TO LIFE Join us for an informative luncheon on the State of Life
in the US and Ohio today. Clarke Forsythe, Senior Counsel at
Americans United for Life, will share some of the little-known
background behind the Roe v Wade decision of 1973 as out-
lined in his best-seller, Abuse of Discretion. Congressman War-
ren Davidson will give us a current perspective on Roe v Wade
and its status in the US and Ohio in 2019.
“In this fine book, Clarke Forsythe, one of our finest
constitutional scholars writing on abortion jurisprudence, ex-
plores not only the legal weaknesses of Roe and its progeny, but
also the astonishing medical and public policy errors on which
the decision was based. This is a landmark work on abortion, the
Constitution, and the Supreme Court.” — review of Abuse of
Discretion” by Stephen B. Presser, Raoul Berger Professor of
Legal History
Northwestern University School of Law
Don’t miss this opportunity to learn more about this
infamous court decision and its impact.
