Catholic Faith Question and Answer Forum
The website:

you can explore just a little of the great mystery of our faith.
Always be ready to give an explanation to anyone who asks you for a reason for your hope, but do it with gentleness and reverence, keeping your conscience clear, so that, when you are maligned, those who defame your good conduct in Christ may themselves be put to shame. —1 Peter 3:15-16

Stewardship Reflections
July 25, 2021
17th Sunday in Ordinary Time
“There is a boy here who has five barley loaves and two fish; but what good are these for so many?” JOHN 6:9The miracle of the Loaves and Fishes carries two important messages. First, no matter how little we have, we always have enough to share. Second, Christ can take our humble gifts and do great things with them if we are just willing to let Him. Nothing is impossible with God. All of our gifts, big or small, were given to us for a reason. No gift is too small or insignificant!
25 de julio de 2021
17o Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario
Aquí hay un muchacho que tiene cinco panes de cebada y dos pescados, pero ¿qué es esto para tanta gente?" JUAN 6:9El milagro de los Peces y los Panes lleva consigo dos mensajes importantes. Primero, no importa lo poco que tengamos, siempre tenemos suficiente para compartir. Segundo, Cristo puede tomar nuestros humildes dones y hacer grandes cosas con ellos si simplemente se lo permitimos. Con Dios nada es imposible. Todos nuestros dones, grandes o pequeños, nos fueron dados por una razón. ¡Ningún don es demasiado pequeño o insignificante!

SPIRITUAL COMMUNION
O my sweet Jesus, I believe that you are truly present in the Most Holy Sacrament of the altar.
I love you above all others and above all things. I earnestly desire to receive you into my soul.
Since I cannot at this moment receive you sacramentally, I pray
that you will please come at least spiritually into my heart.
I embrace you as if you were already there, and unite myself to you with all my heart and soul.
I pray that you will never permit me to be separated from you. Amen
CONTRITION – Perfect and imperfect
IN THE ABSENCE OF CONFESSION. . . Remember your First Confession and being taught we must be sorry for our sins to be forgiven?
There are two types of sorrow (contrition) for sins.
-Imperfect Contrition -- focus on ourselves, fear of even greater punishment. –
Perfect Contrition -- focuses on the Other. Not the fear of hell, rather offending One who is all-loving. Perfect Contrition focuses on the relationship rather than the sin, the Redeemer rather than oneself.
Why seek out the Sacrament of Reconciliation?
-Personal abandonment to the Mercy and Grace of God
What about now with the pandemic and “shelter in place?” - Rely on the words of Psalm 103:8, “Merciful and gracious is the LORD, slow to anger, abounding in mercy.”
- With Perfect Contrition, seek the Lord.
- Allow His Grace to penetrate the core of your being.
-Earnestly pray an Act of Contrition. - Resolve to receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation as soon as possible.
-Continue to restore your relationship with the Lord.
-Be confident that His Love is greater than our offenses; His mercy is everlasting.
