From Father Michael Van Lian, Burmese Community:
“Whoever does not take up his cross is not worthy
of me. Whoever receives you, receives me.”
Matthew 10: 38-40 The Christian way of life is the cross way. The cross of Jesus is rough and tough. It means nails and a thrust of the spear. The cross calls for a sense of forsakenness and loneliness and agony and pain. But who wants to take that road of life? If we as Christ followers do not partici-pate in the hardships of the cross, we are the losers. In our gospel passage Jesus is talking about every follower of his making a sacrifice by losing his life for Christ’s sake. Sacrifices like these are unusual and exceptional. This kind of sacrifice is not a once-in-a-lifetime experience but a daily experience. It is not a sacrifice of death but a living sacrifice that goes on from day to day. It means a daily outpouring of one’s self in the cause of Christ. It calls for giving, investing, expending, and throwing away one’s life for Christ and His people. Jesus says a disciple of his will not lose his reward. Could that be the reason for you and me go-ing on this cross-road? Amen.

Desde Padre Michael Van Lian:
“Quien no toma su cruz no es digno de mí. Quien te reciba,
recíbeme a mí.” Mateo 10: 38-40
El estilo de vida cristiano es el camino de la cruz. La cruz de Jesús es áspera y dura. Significa clavos y un empuje de la lanza. La cruz exige una sen-sación de abandono, soledad, agonía y dolor. ¿Pero quién quiere tomar ese camino de la vida? Si nosotros, como los se-guidores de Cristo, no participamos en las dificultades de la cruz, somos los perdedores. En nuestro pasaje evangélico, Jesús está hablando del sacrificio de cada seguidor al perder su vida por el amor de Cristo. Los sacrificios como estos son inusu-ales y excepcionales. Este tipo de sac-rificio no es una experiencia única en la vida, sino una experiencia diaria. No es un sacrificio de muerte, sino un sacrificio vivo que se realiza día a día. Significa un derramamiento diario de uno mismo en la causa de Cristo. Requiere dar, invertir, gastar y dar la vida de uno por Cristo y Su pueblo. Jesús dice que un discípulo de su vol-untad no perderá su recompensa. ¿Podría ser esa la razón por la que tú y yo vamos al camino de la cruz? Amén.

Foster Care Ministry You can make a difference in the lives of vulnera-ble children in Kansas! Sadly, every day in Kan-sas, children are removed from their homes by no fault of their own for a variety of reasons. Each of these children is a precious, unique gift from God who deserves a loving and safe environment where he or she can THRIVE! Because care of the orphan and works of mercy are part of the mission for all baptized Catholics, the Church is the solution to an overwhelmed Kansas foster system which is facing increased needs due to COVID-19. Visit the new Archdiocesan Foster Care Ministry Website, www.archkcks.com/foster to learn how you can help vulnerable children in our community and support families who have an-swered the call to love and protect these children. If you are currently fostering or have adopted your child/ren from foster care, we want to connect with you to support you on your journey! Please join the Archdiocesan Foster Family by registering at www.archkck.org/fostercaredatabase.
Faithful Citizenship
One of key tenets of being a faithful Catholic is faithful citizenship. Every Kansas State Repre-sentative and State Senator office will be on the ballot in 2020. One of the most effective ways to ensure fair and just public policy (laws) is by elect-ing people into office who share Catholic values and the ultimate goal of serving the common good. To vote in the upcoming August 4 KS State Primary Election, citizens must be registered to vote by July 14. Visit www.kansascatholic.org to register. It’s important to register especially if you recently turned 18, recently moved, have not vot-ed in recent elections, or if you are unsure if you have registered in the past. Registering to vote ensures that you are able to vote and that you are voting at the correct polling location.
Workshop For Men Struggling With Pornography
There is a Virtual 3-Day Catholic Workshop for men struggling with pornography and sexual be-havior problems on July 9-11 with Fr. Sean Kil-cawley, Dr. Todd Bowman, Michael Ciaccio, MS, LPC, SATP, and Sam Meier, MA, LPC, CSAT candidate. Many are struggling with increased pornography use and unwanted sexual behaviors during COVID-19. Registration information and video are at https://centerforhealingkc.com/myhouse/my-house-workshops The My House workshop has Catholic spirituality and clinical con-tent that is similar to the Bethesda Workshops in TN, and the Faithful and True Workshops in MN.
We begin a new prayer list for the sick every 6 months. Please contact Theresa Smith,
913-299-3370 or [email protected] to add or remove a name. Only family members may
add names because of privacy. Please pray for the sick: Vincent Anderjaska, Velma Andrisevic, Al Arendt, Andrew Becker, Donna Bileck, Ray Bond, Shirley Bowline, Doug-las Braman, Victor Braman, Mary Ann Bush, Han-nah Buttaccio, Bob Butters, Donald Cook, Marcia Cooper, Raymond Cote, Vernon Cox, Thresa Ehrhart, Connie Galvan, Bill Ghale, Cora Grant, Bob Holek, Shirley Imhoff, Dorothy Isabell, Mike Kerns, Michael Killian, Mary Elaine Kohler, Joyce Leiker, Debbie Martin, Martha McCarty, Fred McClain, Andrea McNeely, Laraun McNeely, Wil-letta Minters, Ashley Mizell, Alice Neal, Belinda Ogan, Josephine Ogan, Dennis and Stephanie Seuferling, Linda Shalz, Helen Sims, Jack Sixta, Tom Sixta, Leo Storm, Margaret Struzzo, Joseph Tayler, Deacon Charlie Voss, Glenn Waltsak, Bob Williams, Joe Wingerter
Ministers to the Homebound:
This ministry is suspended to protect the health of our homebound. We will resume
when it’s safe to do so.
Anointing of the Sick If you are scheduled for surgery, please call the
parish office, 299-3370, to receive the sacrament of Anointing of the Sick before your hospital stay.
If your condition worsens, you need additional surgery, you recover then become seriously ill
again or are facing additional health challenges due to aging, it is appropriate to be anointed
again. During this health crisis, please know that it may not be possible for the priests to visit. Call the parish and they will pray for you and visit as
hospital and community restrictions allow.
Grief Support Group Suspended Through Summer
Our parish Grief Support Group will resume meet-ing in September if it is safe to do so. We encour-age all those who have lost a loved one to call the parish office or a family member or trusted friend when you need to talk. God bless you and know that you will be remembered in prayer.
Need an Appointment? It’s been a pleasure to begin meeting with parish-ioners again for appointments such as marriage prep, baptism preparation, annulments, mentoring and pastoral needs. Please contact us if you need to make an appointment. We’ll help you schedule it and review safety guidelines. We look forward to seeing you! God bless!
