My Companions: We had hoped to meet our friend from our trip to Ireland, Pat Dolan, but she had to leave Vail because her daughter has to have an operation: please pray for them. Many of our “companions” take this summer time to travel so we need to remember them. As always our leaders need many prayers: may they be true servants and write laws and policies that bring out the best in their people. Fr. Eustace Sequeira will be installed as pastor of St Ignatius Loyola Parish on Sunday, may he thrive as he serves his people! As always I appreciate your prayers for the people on our lists.Birthdays this week: Cameron Ross 7/26, Ted McMurdo 7/29, Karen Norton 8/1
Keeping-in-touch: We returned from camping Monday and enjoyed the normal activities… studies, gardening and thinning the forest on Dover Court. I wrote a grant proposal and met with the Deacon Formation team. Kim Dixon and her son, Matthew, stopped for a night before heading to Vail: Matthew had time to run me around the tennis court.

Comments on the Readings: Fr. Foley: “We should take the falling seriously because there is really no answer to the failures of our lives, the dropping away of opportunities, the falling economy, the multiple disappointments, and the soft progress toward death.”

My Comments: Let us praise the Father for all the “bread” he gives to us, especially “The Bread of Life,” His Son, Jesus.
May the peace of Christ be with each of you.
John
