The Lord provides heavenly food for the Israelites to eat. Jesus proclaims himself to be the very bread of life. We lay aside our way of life to be created anew in his image.

GOD’S WORK We are so busy! Most of us have more than one job to do, and we never seem to have enough time. We are workers, volunteers, parents, friends, and most of us are more than one thing at a time. But which of these is the work of God? We seldom view our ordinary work as being the work of God. We may think that we have to be ministers or priests, missionaries or charity workers, engaged full-time in works formally identified as being “God’s work.” But everything we do with a faithful heart and with love for others is God’s work. We each have our own role to fill in the world, and many gifts are necessary. We cannot always see the direct connection of our daily work to the plan of God. But we trust and we believe that God leads us to do what is needed, where it is needed. What is “God’s work?” “This is the work of God, that you believe in the one he sent” (John 6:29).

Do You Know?
How are the feast days of saints set?

Wednesday, August 8th
Memorial of Saint Dominic, Priest Founded the Order of Preachers (O.P.) also known as the Dominicans. The spread of the Holy Rosary is attributed to the preaching of St. Dominic.

Answers to last week’s question Making the sign of the Sign of the Cross is both an action and a prayer. In the Sign of the Cross we profess the deepest mysteries of our faith: the Trinity—Father, Son and Holy Spirit, and the saving work of Christ on the Cross on Good Friday.

Sponsors for Baptism and Confirmation
Being a sponsor (Godparent, spiritual parent) is a sacramental ministry. The sponsor takes part in the ritual as a Catholic and provides example from his/her life through living and acting as a full member of the Catholic Church. Because of the seriousness of this ministry, the Church has the following require-ments: +The sponsor must be fully initiated into the Catholic Church through Baptism, Confirmation and Eucharist, and be at least 16 years of age. +The sponsor must be a Catholic who has an active life in the Church and provides good example. Someone married outside the church is not able to be a sponsor. Also, a Catholic who has left the Church is not permitted to stand as a sponsor of a new member into the church.

Our Faith Teaches Welcoming the Refugee and the Migrant
During his visit to the United States, Pope Francis spoke as a brother to us: “We the people of this continent, are not fearful of foreigners, because most of us were once foreigners. I say this to you as the son of immigrants, knowing that so many of you are also descended from immigrants.”
At the back of the church are pamphlets outlining what our church teaches and what we can do.
“If abortion isn’t wrong, ...then nothing is.” Mother Theresa
