Tenth Sunday in Ordinary Time

My Companions, pray with me: Lord, with our families (everyone who seeks to do God's will) may we praise you and bring you glory by living the life you put in us (our true selves). Forgive us our sins; for without you we can not return to your fullness of life. Thank you for all your gifts and help us to act as good stewards of all we are given. Please hear our pleas for renewed health and help us know your loving kindness. Welcome all our departed to your fullness of life.

  We ask all of this in Jesus name. 

     Amen

Companion Events:   Birthdays:  Kris Fitzgerald (6/4), Ann Romadka (6/5),  Melinda Felix (6/6), Amanda Dixon (6/9). Anniversary: Marge & John Lay (6/8/73), Ann & Bob Romadka (6/8/74), Renee & Randy Lumpp (6/8/75), Melissa & Neil Cyrus (6/8/02). In memoriam: Lori Stabile  (6/3/11), Grace (Kilday) Blake (6/6/14).

Keeping In-touch: We enjoy family and some of the beautiful National Parks as we travel in Utah. We don't climb the trails like we used to ascend and descend beautiful pathways. And the scorching sun takes a greater toll than it used to withdraw from us. 

The Readings: Tenth Sunday in Ordinary Time

Some Commentary for prayer or study: The Sunday Website

My comments and an invitation for your comments: Who is family? I only need to watch my grandchildren to learn that a stranger is someone they haven't met yet; someone who accepts our invitation to play ball. This week the Lord asks us to play ball: to work with all who will accept the Holy Spirit and seek the good where it may be found.
