    Our Lady of Hope This Week

    WE ARE TO TAKE UP OUR CROSS EACH DAY

    AND FOLLOW JESUS CHRIST

    Today’s Gospel emphasizes what is required to fol-low Christ. We must set aside our selfish desires and take up our cross each day to help build up the kingdom of God. This involves sacrifice. Rather than conforming to what is popular in our present age, we must strive to do what is good and pleas-ing to the Lord each day.

    2017 FAITH Catholic-Publishing and Communications

    LITURGY OF THE WORD

    The first reading tells of the inner struggles Jere-miah experienced in being faithful to God’s call to serve as a prophet. The second reading exhorts us to lead lives that are holy and pleasing to God. In the Gospel, Jesus teaches that all who desire to lie as one of His disciples must take up their cross and follow Him.

    2017 FAITH Catholic-Publishing and Communications

    STEWARDSHIP THOUGHT FOR THE TWENTY–

    SECOND SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME

    In today’s second reading, St. Paul exhorts the Ro-mans to total stewardship. Brothers and sisters, he urges, “...offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God.”

    THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY OF AMERICA

    COLLECTION

    The Catholic University of America, located in Washington DC, is the national university of the Catholic Church in the United States. CUA offers students an excellent education in a faith-filled atmosphere that is grounded in the Catholic intel-lectual tradition. Some of our own diocesan priests have received education and have specialized in different ecclesiastical courses and are now serv-ing our Diocese.

    Next week is the National Collection for the Catho-lic University of America. Every dollar given direct-ly supports aid for students from dioceses across the country, including our diocese. Please be gen-erous.

    **The church office will be closed on Monday,

    September 4 in observance of Labor Day.**

    (continued on page 3)

    Last Sunday’s collection 8/27/17 $6,605.26

    Same Last Year $7,128.56

    Weekly amount needed $9,456.00

    Last week’s shortfall $2,850.74

    Attendance 8/27/17 428

    Same Last Year 491

    Thank you for your generosity in returning to God some

    of what He has given you.
