“Brothers and sisters: The Spirit comes to the aid of our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes with inexpressible groanings. And the one who searches hearts knows what is the intention of the Spirit, because he intercedes for the holy ones according to God’s will.” Go to usccb.org/bible/readings/071920.cfm.

ONE THING THAT I HAVE LEARNED FROM LIFE…“That under everyone’s hard shell is someone who wants to be appreciated and loved.” – Andy Rooney(A man who had the gift of saying so much with so few words!)

PRAYER OF ST. FRANCIS OF ASSISI“Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. Where there is hatred, let me sow love, Where there is injury, pardon Where there is doubt, faith, Where there is despair, hope, Where there is darkness, light, Where there is sadness, joy. O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console, not so much to be understood as to understand, not so much to be loved, as to love; for it is in giving that we receive, it is in pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in dying that we awake to eternal life.”St. Francis Of Assisi Source: beliefnet.com/faiths/prayer/2009/07/prayers-of-the-saints.aspx

9 MONTHS WITH CHRIST IN THE WOMB

From March 25th to December 25th, 2020, St. Columbkille will be participating in this Archdiocesan Respect Life Prayer Campaign.

The July’s Monthly Reflection is available online at catholiccincinnati.org/ministries-offices/respect-life-2/nine-months-with-christ-in-the-womb/.

Week 17 Reflection: Jesus first heard His mother’s heartbeat today. Its steady drumming is a comfort to Him. He also saw His first flickers of brightness when His mother stood in the sunshine. The Light of the world has seen His first rays of sunlight. Jesus of the womb hear our prayers!

We are also asking everyone to pray daily our special prayer to Christ in the womb.“Dear Jesus of the Womb, most fragile child of Mary’s protection, we look to You as the youngest image of perfect innocence. We lift our prayers to You who will save each of our souls. Just as You entered humanity through this most gentle and helpless state, now help us to find Your presence in the face of all the gentle and helpless persons of the earth. Bless us with eyes that see You and ears that hear You: in the presence of the poor and the outcast, the hungry and the homeless, the condemned and the war-torn, the elderly and the unborn. May we discover You every day as at Christmas and offer our gifts every day as at Epiphany. This we ask of You and the Father, with your Holy Spirit and in union with Mary your tender home. Amen.”

HOLY FATHER’S JULY PRAYER INTENTIONOur Families: We pray that today’s families may be accompanied with love, respect, and guidance.

NATIONAL NFP AWARENESS WEEKJuly 19-25, 2020

The dates of National Natural Family Planning Awareness Week highlight the anniversary of the papal encyclical Humanae vitae (July 25), which articulates Catholic beliefs about human sexuality, married love, and responsible parenthood. Visit usccb.org/issues-and-action/marriage-and-family/natural-family-planning/awareness-week/index.cfm

LOVE, NATURALLY!Is love something natural and part of being human? Of course, it is. Many of us may not be able to find the precise words to define love, but we know what it feels like when love is missing in our lives. We also know how satisfied we feel when we have love. And even better – we know the deep fulfillment we feel when we offer our love to others and they accept it.

The natural ability to know, give, and receive love is a gift from God. As Scripture teaches, it is rooted in our nature, being made in God’s image and likeness (Gen 1:27). How often have we heard this building block of our faith but have not thought about it? This basic truth of our humanity has profound implications for all human relationships, especially for those of us who are called to the vocation of marriage.

All are called to love. God has written the capacity to give and to receive love into the hearts of every man and woman. As St. Paul says, love is the greatest gift (1 Corinthians 13:13). Love is the foundation for other important characteristics such as gratitude, thankfulness, forgiveness, mercy, and selflessness, all of which foster good relationships.

One beautiful expression of God’s plan of love is that He created us with sexuality – male and female. Being made male or female is the means through which we express love and form relationships. This can take many forms as we relate to neighbors, workmates, friends, and family members. It is precisely through human sexuality that husband and wife can form their family. These

small “communions of persons” mirror the inner love of God as a Trinity of three loving persons.Human sexuality – being created a man or a woman – is woven into our very bodies. This is true despite the many wounds to their sexuality that some people may experience. Human sexuality holds the powers of both love and life. The gift of fertility is a particularly awe-inspiring attribute since it enables participation in God’s creation of new life. It is vital to be good stewards of these sacred gifts.

WHAT IS THE CATECHISM ALL ABOUT?Want to learn a tidbit or two?

THE PROFESSION OF FAITH – Part OneSection One / I Believe – We Believe

Chapter Two – God Comes to Meet ManThe Revelation of God

10. What is the value of private revelations?While not belonging to the deposit of faith, private revelations may help a person to live the faith as long as they lead us to Christ. The Magisterium of the Church, which has the duty of evaluating such private revelations, cannot accept those which claim to surpass or correct that definitive Revelation which is Christ.

The Transmission of Divine Revelation11. Why and in what way is divine revelation transmitted?

God “desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth” (1 Timothy 2:4), that is, of Jesus Christ. For this reason, Christ must be proclaimed to all according to his own command, “Go forth and teach all nations” (Matthew 28:19). And this is brought about by Apostolic Tradition.Source: vatican.va/archive/compendium_ccc/documents/archive_2005_

SAINTS CELEBRATED THIS WEEK

July 20th – St. Apollinaris, Bishop and Martyr (d. c. 79)According to tradition, Saint Peter sent Apollinaris to Ravenna, Italy, as its first bishop. His preaching of the Good News was so successful that the pagans there beat him and drove him from the city. He returned, however, and was exiled a second time. After preaching in the area surrounding Ravenna, he entered the city again. After being cruelly tortured, he was put on a ship heading to Greece. Pagans there caused him to be expelled to Italy, where he went to Ravenna for a fourth time. He died from wounds received during a savage beating at Classis, a suburb of Ravenna. A beautiful basilica honoring him was built there in the sixth century.

July 21st – St. Lawrence of Brindisi, Priest and Doctor of the Church (1559-1619)When St. Lawrence was just 16, he entered the Capuchin Franciscan Order in Venice and received the name of Lawrence. He completed his studies of philosophy and theology at the University of Padua and was ordained a priest at 23. With his knowledge of Hebrew and Greek, he could study the Bible in its original languages. He could also speak Latin, German, Bohemian, Spanish and French. At the request of Pope Clement VIII, he spent much time preaching to the Jews in Italy. So excellent was his knowledge of Hebrew, the rabbis felt sure he was a Jew who had become a Christian.

July 22nd – St. Mary Magdalene (d. c. 63)Except for the mother of Jesus, few women are more honored in the Bible than Mary Magdalene. Yet she could well be the patron of the slandered, since there has been a persistent legend in the Church that she is the unnamed sinful woman who anointed the feet of Jesus in Luke 7:36-50. Most Scripture scholars today point out that there is no scriptural basis for confusing the two women. Mary Magdalene, that is, “of Magdala,” was the one from whom Christ cast out “seven demons” (Luke 8:2) – an indication at the worst, of extreme demonic possession or possibly, severe illness.

Source: franciscanmedia.org/saint-mary-magdalene/

July 23rd – St. Bridget, Religious (1303-1373)Bridget lived her married life in the court of the Swedish king Magnus II. Mother of eight children – the second eldest was Saint Catherine of Sweden—Bridget lived the strict life of a penitent after her husband’s death. Bridget constantly strove to exert her good influence over Magnus; while never fully reforming, he did give her land and buildings to found a monastery for men and women. This group eventually expanded into an Order known as the Bridgetines. In 1350, a year of jubilee, Bridget braved a plague-stricken Europe to make a pilgrimage to Rome. Although she never returned to Sweden, her years in Rome were far from happy, being hounded by debts and by opposition to her work against Church abuses.

Source: franciscanmedia.org/saint-bridget/

July 24th – St. Sharbel Makhlūf, Priest (1828-1898)Joseph Zaroun Maklouf was raised by an uncle because his father, a mule driver, died when Joseph was only three. At the age of 23, Joseph joined the Monastery of St. Maron at Annaya, Lebanon, and took the name Sharbel in honor of a second-century martyr. He professed his final vows in 1853 and was ordained six years later. Following the example of the fifth-century Saint Maron, Sharbel lived as a hermit from 1875, until his death. His reputation for holiness prompted people to seek him to receive a blessing and to be remembered in his prayers. He followed a strict fast and was very devoted to the Blessed Sacrament. When his superiors occasionally asked him to administer the sacraments to nearby villages, Sharbel did so gladly.

WORD OF LIFE“May married couples embrace their call to total, faithful, and fruitful love, and joyful openness to new life. We pray to the Lord:

“Married love differs from any other love in the world. By its nature, the love of husband and wife is so complete, so ordered to a lifetime of communion with God and each other, that it is open to creating a new human being they will love and care for together. … That power to create a new life with God is at the heart of what spouses share with each other.”Source: United States Conference of Catholic Bishops “Married Love and the Gift

of Life”

16th Sunday in Ordinary TimeEntrance Antiphon

“See, I have God for my help. The Lord sustains my soul. I will sacrifice to you with willing heart, and praise your name, O Lord, for it is good.”

The GloriaGlory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to people of good will. We praise you; we bless you; we adore you; we glorify you; we give you thanks for your great glory, Lord God, heavenly King, O God Almighty Father.

Lord Jesus Christ, only begotten Son, Lord God, Lamb of God, Son of the Father, you take away the sins of the world, have mercy on us; you take away the sins of the world, receive our prayer; you are seated at the right hand of the Father, have mercy on us.

For you alone are the holy one, you alone are the Lord, you alone are the Most High, Jesus Christ, with the Holy Spirit, in the glory of God the Father. Amen.

Responsorial Psalm Refrain“Lord, you are good and forgiving.”

Apostles CreedI believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried; he descended into hell; on the third day he rose again from the dead;he ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from there he will come to judge the living and the dead.I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy Catholic Church,the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins,the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting. Amen.

Prayer for VocationsAlmighty Father,You have created us for some definite purpose. Grant us the grace to know the path. You have planned for us in this life and to respond with a generous “Yes.”

Make our archdioceses, parishes, homes and hearts fruitful ground for Your gift of vocations. May our young people respond to Your call with courage and zeal.

Stir among our men a desire and the strength to be good and holy priests. Bless us with consecrated religious and those called to a chaste single life, permanent deacons, and faithful husbands and wives, who are a sign of Christ’s love for His Church.

We commend our prayer for vocations to You, Father, through the intercession of Mary, our Mother, in the Holy Spirit, through Christ our Lord. AmenArchbishop Dennis M. Schnurr

Closing Hymn:For the Fruits of This Creation

For the fruits of this creation,Thanks be to God;For the gifts of every nation,Thanks be to God;For the plowing, sowing, reaping,Silent growth while we are sleeping,Future needs in earth’s safe-keeping,Thanks be to God.

In the just reward of labor,God’s will be done;In the help we give our neighbor,God’s will be done;In our world-wide task of caringFor the hungry and despairing,In the harvests we are sharing,God’s will be done.
