Be well intentioned
Jesus’ admonition to perform good deeds in private and pray alone in our rooms can be difficult to figure out when we belong to a church that calls the community’s public gathering for Mass the “source and summit of faith.” So here’s the deal: Jesus isn’t telling us to hide our faith but instead to check out why we do what we do. He frowns on giving alms to get attention or making a big public display of our prayer, as if to prove we are closer to God than our neighbor. Instead, we are called to pray, fast, and give alms simply to draw closer to our Lord. In public or private, let’s pray with the best of intentions.
TODAY'S READINGS: 2 Corinthians 9:6-11; Matthew 6:1-6, 16-18. “When you pray, do not be like the hypocrites.” #takefiveforfaith
God is able to make every grace abundant for you,
so that in all things, always having all you need,
you may have an abundance for every good work.
2 Corinthians 9:8

Hello everyone! My name is Emily Curran and I am the new Coordinator of Youth & You g Adult Ministry at Sacred Heart. I just graduated from The Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C. with a degree in World Politics, an Honors minor in Theology, and a minor in rhetoric. I have been volunteering as a catechist for several years at my home parish in Dripping Springs, Texas, and am excited to serve you.
Please come by our meet and greet in the parish plaza on Sunday, June 27 after the 11am mass so that I can get to know you a bit and you can get to know me!
…test the genuineness of your love
by your concern for others.
2 Corinthians 8:8
Jesus said to his disciples:
“You have heard that it was said,
You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.
But I say to you, love your enemies
and pray for those who persecute you,
that you may be children of your heavenly Father,
for he makes his sun rise on the bad and the good,
and causes rain to fall on the just and the unjust.
For if you love those who love you, what recompense will you have?
Do not the tax collectors do the same?
And if you greet your brothers only,
what is unusual about that?
Do not the pagans do the same?
So be perfect, just as your heavenly Father is perfect.”
Gospel Matthew 5:43-48

As your fellow workers, we appeal to you
not to receive the grace of God in vain.

In an acceptable time I heard you,

![Compassion is Being With
Let us not underestimate how hard it is to be compassionate. Compassion is hard because it requires the inner disposition to go with others to the place where they are weak, vulnerable, lonely, and broken. But this is not our spontaneous response to suffering. What we desire most is to do away with suffering by fleeing from it or finding a quick cure for it. As busy, active, relevant [people], we want to earn our bread by making a real contribution. This means first and foremost doing something to show that our presence makes a difference. And so we ignore our greatest gift, which is our ability to enter into solidarity with those who suffer. . . .
Those who can sit with their fellow man, not knowing what to say but knowing that they should be there, can bring new life into a dying heart. Those who are not afraid to hold a hand in gratitude, to shed tears of grief, and to let a sigh of distress arise straight from the heart can break through paralyzing boundaries and witness the birth of a new fellowship, the fellowship of the broken.
-Henri Nouwen
