over both sickness and death. While on the way to heal a child, Jesus encounters a woman whose faith is so great that she is cured on the spot. In the midst of that drama, Jesus is given word that the child has already died. You know the rest: ✙✚✔✏✏✞✎ ✤✔☛✞✥ ✕ ✆✟✗ ✏✂ ✗✂☞✥ ✟☛✔✆✎✌✜

Can our faith inform our sorrow and our doubt at these moments? Can we humbly ask God to lift us up to see over the horizon of death? Both the woman and little girl had personal encounters with the man Jesus who could bring healing and salvation. We are offered that same encounter.

Dear Parishioners,

Thank you! Thank you to everyone who participated in Commitment Weekend last Sunday. We had over 340 commitment cards filled out during Masses. That is heart-warming! Many people made new pledges, both monetary and prayers; several people increased their pledges; sev-eral gave an additional one time gift; and we even had out of town guests who made one time donations. ✭✮ ✯✰✮ ✱✲ ✳✰✯✴✮✵✶✷ ✵✲✰ ✮✸✮✰✹✲✺✮✻✱ ✼✽✷✷✽✺✳✺✮✱✱ ✴✲ ✾✯✿✮ ✯

10 POINTS FOR FRUITFUL SCRIPTURE READING

1. Bible reading is for Catholics. The Church encourages Catholics to make reading the Bible part of their daily prayer lives. Read-ing these inspired words, people grow deeper in their relationship with God and come to understand their place in the community God has called them to in himself. 2. Prayer is the beginning and the end. Reading the Bible is not like reading a novel or a history book. It should begin with a prayer asking the Holy Spirit to open our hearts and minds to the Word of God. Scripture reading should end with a prayer that this Word will bear fruit in our lives. 3. Get the whole story! When selecting a Bible, look for NABRE (New American Bible Revised Edition). This is the translation we use at Mass. A Catholic edition will include the Church's complete list of sacred books along with introductions and notes for under-standing the text. 4. The Bible isn't a book. It's a library. The Bible is a collection of 73 books written over the course of many centuries. The books include royal history, prophecy, poetry, challenging letters to struggling new faith communities, and believers' accounts of the preaching and passion of Jesus. Knowing the genre of the book you are reading will help you understand the meaning the author is trying to convey. 5. Know what the Bible is ❊ and what it isn't. The Bible is the story of God's relationship with the people he has called to him-self. It is not intended to be read as a history text, a science book, or a political manifesto. In the Bible, God teaches us the truths that we need for the sake of our salvation. 6. The sum is greater than the parts. Read the Bible in context. What happens before and after ❊ even in other books ❊ helps us to understand the true meaning of the text. 7. The Old relates to the New. The Old Testament and the New Testament shed light on each other. 8. By reading and reflecting on Sacred Scripture, Catholics join those faithful who have taken God's Word to heart and put it into practice in their lives. We read the Bible within the tradition of the Church to benefit from the holiness and wisdom of all the faithful. 9. What is God saying to me? The Bible is not addressed only to long-dead people in a faraway land. It is addressed to each of us in our own unique situations. 10. Reading isn't enough. If Scripture remains just words on a page, our work is not done. We need to meditate on the mes-sage and put it into action in our lives. Only then can the word be "living and effective." (Hebrews 4:12).
