WEEKLY MEDITATION

The crowd has come a long way to hear Jesus and now finds itself in a deserted area without food. Everyone is feeling the pangs of hunger. In his compassion, Jesus inquires about the food supply on hand and discovers all that is available is five barley loaves and two fishes in the possession of a boy. We can easily picture this youth's bewilderment when asked to give up all that he has, to part with the only food that is available. However, his sacrifice is well rewarded when he sees Jesus feeds the multitude with the food he has provided. Through the power and prayer of the Lord, the impossible becomes possible. What is given to Jesus as a sacrifice is given back by him totally transformed. The crowd is fed, symbolizing that Jesus has come to give life to all people. This story should make us think about thanking God not only for our food but for the many blessings and benefits that come our way and which we take so much for granted.

SCHEDULE OF EVENTS

VISITATION OF THE SICK Before every major holy day we try to visit all of the sick of our parish. We would like to do this in anticipation of Velika Gospa. If you know of anyone who is ill and would like to be visited and receive the sacraments, please let us know. Visits will take place on Saturday, August 9, beginning at 9 a.m.

PARISH PHOTO ALBUM Later this year we will undertake the project of compiling a parish family photo album. Over several weeks' time, beginning in October, a professional photographer will come to our parish to take pictures of our parishioners. More information about this project will be given next month.

PREPARATION FOR VELIKA GOSPA

Preparations have already begun for our parish feast on August 15. We are asking everyone to help in whatever way possible. Please let us know how you would like to be of help. We realize that Velika Gospa falls on a working day; therefore, we encourage you to take that day off so that everyone can participate in the mass and procession as a parish family. We await hearing from you to volunteer your help!

VELIKA GOSPA COMMITTEE MEETING will be held on Wednesday, July 30 at 7:00 P.M. All of the committee members are requested to be present.
