Gospel Summary A storm arose on the sea and the disciples saw Jesus walking on the water toward them. At first, they thought it was a ghost, but then they

recognized Jesus. In an effort to show his great faith, Peter got out of the boat and walked on the water toward Jesus. Peter was focused and walked toward Jesus. All went well until he looked at the storm. The same is true for us. If we stay focused on Jesus, we will be strong. It's when we get distracted by adversity that we begin to sink. Reflection for Families Parents certainly know there are many stormy times in trying to raise children. As we fall into bed exhausted at night, we may realize that we focused on the storms instead of Jesus' loving presence. Take a few minutes today to think about where Jesus tried to break in.

Discerning God’s Call:

This weekend is the Annual

Seminarian Collection. This

collection was previously held in

November, but as of this year, has

been moved to August and is your opportunity to support the

educational expenses of our seminarians. Currently, we are

blessed to have eight men discerning a call to the priesthood.

The cost to educate each seminarian is a little over $50,000

per seminarian. The total cost to educate all our seminarians

is almost $500,000. Every gift to the Seminarian Education

fund helps to cover the tuition, books and board and summer

ministry expenses for our seminarians. Your generosity is a

vital component to the success of these men as they prepare

to minister to the needs of future generations of Catholics

within our diocese. Thank you for your consideration and

kindness.

PLEASE NOTE: You can find an envelope for this

collection in your weekly offering box dated November 8th

ASSUMPTION OF MARY INTO HEAVEN. We will have Mass for this feast day on FRIDAY, August 14th at 7:00 p.m.

A Family Perspective …by Bud Ozar The demands of family can be so overwhelming we feel walking on water would be easier. When Jesus was pressured, He dismissed everyone, so he could be “by himself and pray.” When overwhelmed and stressed, go to a quiet place and surrender your pressured feelings to the Lord using Peter’s prayer in today’s gospel: “Lord, save me.”
