and the Dragon lancet window. It is the second window from the right under the south tran-

Some Sundays during this Jubilee Year of

Mercy, something from the scriptures just leaps out as most appropriate. The end of todays Gos-

pel presents one such in-stance. At the end of the Good Samaritan

story, the answer to the question about who

was neighbor the rob-ber’s victim is “The one who treated him with

mercy.” As we continue our prayer together today, let us ask for

God’s grace to help us to be merciful to all

our neighbors.

Cathedral Book Club Come Discuss Confessions by Saint Augustine

When: July 21st 10:15-11:45 AM (5 weeks)

Where: Parish Hall Library room

Information: threenovacks@gmail.com

"The son of a pagan father and a Christian mother,

Saint Augustine spent his early years torn between

conflicting faiths and world views. His Confessions,

written when he was in his forties, recount how,

slowly and painfully, he came to turn away from his

youthful ideas and licentious lifestyle, to become in-

stead a staunch advocate of Christianity and one of

its most influential thinkers. A remarkably honest

and revealing spiritual autobiography, the Confes-

sions also address fundamental issues of Christian

doctrine, and many of the prayers and meditations it

includes are still an integral part of the practice of

Christianity today."

Read ahead for the September Book Club : The

Brothers Karamazov by Dostoevsky

Second Collection Next Weekend Next week, our parish will take up a collection for the Solidarity Fund for the Church in Africa. While the

Church in Africa is growing, many still lack access to basic resources and pastoral care. Many suffer due to

high rates of poverty and unemployment, illiteracy, and poor education. The Solidarity Fund for the

Church in Africa supports pastoral projects that foster lasting peace and reconciliation in a continent often

marked by division and tension.
