Dear Friends,

I will be gone this weekend to do the Mission

Appeal for my Diocese, Sivagangai. I will be saying

Masses in Cornell, Drywood and Jim Falls. Kindly

pray for my travel. Rev. Fr. William Kulas who

resides in Galesville will be saying Masses here and

he will be also doing the Mission Appeal for the

faithful in Uganda. So, Let us give him a hearty

welcome.

As for the arson, we are taking prompt actions to

get things done rightly and mercifully. Last week,

the service men came and they removed the

gasoline smell from the church. They did a wonder-

ful job and we were able have mass inside the

Church. We are discussing with the Insurance

Company and the window will be fixed soon. As the

victim, we are asked to follow up the case. I think

everything will be set right with the help of God.

Pray good things happen to all.

On Monday, I will be going to Madison to receive

Rev. Msgr. Eugene, the Vicar General of the

Diocese of Thiruchirappalli, Tamilnadu, India. He

is here in America for the mission appeal for his

diocese. Since many of his diocesan priests are

working in the Diocese of La Crosse, he is coming

here to see them. Since I know him personally, I am

going to receive him from Madison. I think he will

be here at the end of this month. Pray everything

goes well.

Coming to the 16th Sunday in Ordinary Time, Jesus

appreciates Mary, sister of Martha for her patient

listening. Jesus himself says that Mary has chosen

the better part. What it is? It is LISTENING.

Listening is an art. It helps the people to come out

of their emotions. Many a time, we tend to speak a

lot. Bernard Mannes Baruch says, “Most of the

successful people I’ve known are the ones who do

more listening than talking.” Jesus calls us to listen.

Mary has chosen the better part of listening to Him.

How are we in our life? Are we able to listen more

in order to understand other people?

"We have two ears and one tongue so that we would

listen more and talk less."

Here I am to listen to your stories if you are in need.

Fr. Antony Joseph
