spouse or part of a Knights family (age 18 and older) Friends neighbors coworkers or others with an existing regular bowler as a sponsor will be considered as space allows
We can always use subs and our fees are reasonable Only $3 for a

BEREAVEMENT REPORT DEACONrsquoS CORNER
Pray With Courage God calls us to live joyfully in the midst of our struggles Yet we yearn for a free more independent way of life than we are currently experienc-ing We pray fervently for many things and then wait hopefully for the changes we desire When we donrsquot get our prayers answered according to how we think they should be answered we sometimes get discouraged When you are wanting waiting waiting for longed answers to prayer it takes courage to continue hoping in God The world and all its vio-lence the flesh and the devil all tell us itrsquos much easier to just give up and give in to dull disappointments In a sense this is true To keep pray-ing with positive expectations requires a lot of effort and perseverance giving up is easier However a resigned I-give-up attitude is always hurtful in the long run Often this leads to cynicisms - and eventually to despair Keep your hopefulness alive Godrsquos intentions and yours may vary We must accept His holy will and try not to be anxious or discouraged Godrsquos plans are always the perfect ones He sees what we cannot He knows whatrsquos best Sometimes our prayers are answered differently In His own time and His own way God will answer every prayer Courage is the word - which comes from the French word for heart God lives in our hearts We can call upon Him to help us live courageously facing ad-versity with confidence and determination Deacon Terry

One subject thatrsquos seriously tough to swallow
My father has an appointment with the gastroenterolo-gist He says hes having trouble swallowing some foods especially cheeseburgers which are a favorite of his Difficulty swallowing is not new for my father When he was in his early 70s my parents frequently visited my
sister in New Hampshire On those visits my father would have difficulty get-ting his food down during mealtime It happened so often that my sisterrsquos son and daughter ages 4 and 8 would call the kitchen chair my father sat in ldquoGrampyrsquos choke chairrdquo The moniker was hilarious to them but probably not so funny to my father At that time my fatherrsquos diagnosis was dysphasiamdashdifficulty swallowing due to acid reflux Gastroesophageal reflux occurs when stomach acids back up into the esoph-agus and irritate the throat It can sometimes cause permanent damage as scar tissue develops The scar tissue can narrow the esophagus causing dif-ficult swallowing Over the next several years my father had his esophagus stretched to reduce the stricture and improve his ability to swallow He also took prescription med-icine to reduce the acid reflux That protocol seemed to work My fatherrsquos current swallowing issue is most likely do to his Parkinsonrsquos dis-ease which can impact muscle control in the throat and therefore affect eat-ing and swallowing My father is not alone Dysphagia is a growing health concern in our aging population Recent studies suggest that 15 percent of the older population is affected by dysphagia Why does this condition have higher incidence among older adults Symptoms of dysphagia vary in each person Some like my father experi-ence problems swallowing solid foods but have no trouble with fluids Others experience the opposite where swallowing liquids becomes difficult but they can manage solids without a problem My mother sometimes has brief coughing fits upon drinking water as it ldquogoes down the wrong piperdquo With dysphagia therersquos a risk of food drink or saliva going down the ldquowrong wayrdquo It can block the airway making it difficult to breathe and causing cough-ing or choking My mother-in-law who also had difficulty swallowing developed aspiration pneumonia Aspiration pneumonia is a chest infection that can develop after accidentally inhaling something such as a small piece of food It causes irritation in the lungs or damages them Older people are particularly at risk of developing aspiration pneumonia Since there is a strong relationship between swallowing ability and malnutri-tion and pneumonia in older adults swallowing interventions are often ad-vised These may include posture adjustments swallow adjustments or changes in diet Trouble swallowing can be frightening but it isnrsquot always a chronic condition If yoursquore experiencing difficulties swallowing talk to your physician Early iden-tification of swallowing abnormalities is critical for reducing the likelihood of complications that can negatively impact your health and quality of life Nobody should have to worry about choking when they are feasting on a big tasty cheeseburger

Inspired by Pope Francis California legal clinic offers free services
July 20 2016 - By Catholic News Agency
Oakland Calif Jul 19 2016 1208 pm (CNAEWTN News)- Free legal coun-sel and advice may sound too good to be true but in the Diocese of Oakland itrsquos a reality On June 7 the Pope Francis Legal Clinic opened in Oakland California on the property of the Cathedral of Christ the Light ldquoSo many people have legal prob-lems because law is everywhererdquo Tom Greerty director and co-founder of the clinic told CNA ldquoWhat we try and do is relieve the hardships of peoplerdquo Experi-enced lawyers volunteer their time to offer free legal consulting reconciliation and resolution services to any adult in the community
Greerty who recently retired from his legal practice in Martinez California said the idea started while he was earning his masterrsquos degree in theological studies from the Dominican School of Philosophy and Theology in Berkeley
ldquoMy professor Sister Marianne Farina asked me to do a project which would be consistent with my jobrdquo Greerty said That project became the Pope Francis Legal Clinic and in less than two years others helped to make his idea a reality
Nico Herrera another attorney in the diocese helped co-found the clinic The Order of Malta which runs a health clinic on the cathedral grounds made space available for the new endeavor with the help of Tony Sanchez Corea a member of the board Bishop Michael C Barber embraced the idea and had the clinicrsquos name in mind
ldquoI want this to be called the Pope Francis Legal Clinicrdquo the bishop told Greerty ldquoWe agreed to that naturallyrdquo Greerty said Bishop Barber had a desire for the clinic to be about mercy not just the law ldquoMercy is ordinarily not about the lawrdquo Greerty explained ldquoThe law doesnrsquot think in terms of mercy The law thinks in The lawyers spend an hour with each client They listen to the clientrsquos story go over the history of the clientrsquos problem and try to understand the ldquonature of the problemrdquo
ldquoWe try to honor the memory of Pope Francis and what he is trying to do with the Year of Mercy to try and help people in a merciful way with the lawrdquo Greerty said He also noted that the idea could likely be replicated in other dioceses across the country
Many Catholic lawyers are retired or far enough along in their practices to have the time and resources to establish similar clinics he said
Bishop Barber blessed the clinic on June 4 the feast of the Immaculate Heart of Mary and the clinic was consecrated to the Immaculate Heart as well
Right now the clinic is open from 1000 am to 200 pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays Appointments are required According to Greerty 10 lawyers have signed up to volunteer their services and more than 20 clients have already made appointments ldquoI think we may be onto somethingrdquo he said

BEREAVEMENT REPORT DEACONrsquoS CORNER
Pray With Courage God calls us to live joyfully in the midst of our struggles Yet we yearn for a free more independent way of life than we are currently experienc-ing We pray fervently for many things and then wait hopefully for the changes we desire When we donrsquot get our prayers answered according to how we think they should be answered we sometimes get discouraged When you are wanting waiting waiting for longed answers to prayer it takes courage to continue hoping in God The world and all its vio-lence the flesh and the devil all tell us itrsquos much easier to just give up and give in to dull disappointments In a sense this is true To keep pray-ing with positive expectations requires a lot of effort and perseverance giving up is easier However a resigned I-give-up attitude is always hurtful in the long run Often this leads to cynicisms - and eventually to despair Keep your hopefulness alive Godrsquos intentions and yours may vary We must accept His holy will and try not to be anxious or discouraged Godrsquos plans are always the perfect ones He sees what we cannot He knows whatrsquos best Sometimes our prayers are answered differently In His own time and His own way God will answer every prayer Courage is the word - which comes from the French word for heart God lives in our hearts We can call upon Him to help us live courageously facing ad-versity with confidence and determination Deacon Terry

One subject thatrsquos seriously tough to swallow
My father has an appointment with the gastroenterolo-gist He says hes having trouble swallowing some foods especially cheeseburgers which are a favorite of his Difficulty swallowing is not new for my father When he was in his early 70s my parents frequently visited my
sister in New Hampshire On those visits my father would have difficulty get-ting his food down during mealtime It happened so often that my sisterrsquos son and daughter ages 4 and 8 would call the kitchen chair my father sat in ldquoGrampyrsquos choke chairrdquo The moniker was hilarious to them but probably not so funny to my father At that time my fatherrsquos diagnosis was dysphasiamdashdifficulty swallowing due to acid reflux Gastroesophageal reflux occurs when stomach acids back up into the esoph-agus and irritate the throat It can sometimes cause permanent damage as scar tissue develops The scar tissue can narrow the esophagus causing dif-ficult swallowing Over the next several years my father had his esophagus stretched to reduce the stricture and improve his ability to swallow He also took prescription med-icine to reduce the acid reflux That protocol seemed to work My fatherrsquos current swallowing issue is most likely do to his Parkinsonrsquos dis-ease which can impact muscle control in the throat and therefore affect eat-ing and swallowing My father is not alone Dysphagia is a growing health concern in our aging population Recent studies suggest that 15 percent of the older population is affected by dysphagia Why does this condition have higher incidence among older adults Symptoms of dysphagia vary in each person Some like my father experi-ence problems swallowing solid foods but have no trouble with fluids Others experience the opposite where swallowing liquids becomes difficult but they can manage solids without a problem My mother sometimes has brief coughing fits upon drinking water as it ldquogoes down the wrong piperdquo With dysphagia therersquos a risk of food drink or saliva going down the ldquowrong wayrdquo It can block the airway making it difficult to breathe and causing cough-ing or choking My mother-in-law who also had difficulty swallowing developed aspiration pneumonia Aspiration pneumonia is a chest infection that can develop after accidentally inhaling something such as a small piece of food It causes irritation in the lungs or damages them Older people are particularly at risk of developing aspiration pneumonia Since there is a strong relationship between swallowing ability and malnutri-tion and pneumonia in older adults swallowing interventions are often ad-vised These may include posture adjustments swallow adjustments or changes in diet Trouble swallowing can be frightening but it isnrsquot always a chronic condition If yoursquore experiencing difficulties swallowing talk to your physician Early iden-tification of swallowing abnormalities is critical for reducing the likelihood of complications that can negatively impact your health and quality of life Nobody should have to worry about choking when they are feasting on a big tasty cheeseburger

Inspired by Pope Francis California legal clinic offers free services
July 20 2016 - By Catholic News Agency
Oakland Calif Jul 19 2016 1208 pm (CNAEWTN News)- Free legal coun-sel and advice may sound too good to be true but in the Diocese of Oakland itrsquos a reality On June 7 the Pope Francis Legal Clinic opened in Oakland California on the property of the Cathedral of Christ the Light ldquoSo many people have legal prob-lems because law is everywhererdquo Tom Greerty director and co-founder of the clinic told CNA ldquoWhat we try and do is relieve the hardships of peoplerdquo Experi-enced lawyers volunteer their time to offer free legal consulting reconciliation and resolution services to any adult in the community
Greerty who recently retired from his legal practice in Martinez California said the idea started while he was earning his masterrsquos degree in theological studies from the Dominican School of Philosophy and Theology in Berkeley
ldquoMy professor Sister Marianne Farina asked me to do a project which would be consistent with my jobrdquo Greerty said That project became the Pope Francis Legal Clinic and in less than two years others helped to make his idea a reality
Nico Herrera another attorney in the diocese helped co-found the clinic The Order of Malta which runs a health clinic on the cathedral grounds made space available for the new endeavor with the help of Tony Sanchez Corea a member of the board Bishop Michael C Barber embraced the idea and had the clinicrsquos name in mind
ldquoI want this to be called the Pope Francis Legal Clinicrdquo the bishop told Greerty ldquoWe agreed to that naturallyrdquo Greerty said Bishop Barber had a desire for the clinic to be about mercy not just the law ldquoMercy is ordinarily not about the lawrdquo Greerty explained ldquoThe law doesnrsquot think in terms of mercy The law thinks in The lawyers spend an hour with each client They listen to the clientrsquos story go over the history of the clientrsquos problem and try to understand the ldquonature of the problemrdquo
ldquoWe try to honor the memory of Pope Francis and what he is trying to do with the Year of Mercy to try and help people in a merciful way with the lawrdquo Greerty said He also noted that the idea could likely be replicated in other dioceses across the country
Many Catholic lawyers are retired or far enough along in their practices to have the time and resources to establish similar clinics he said
Bishop Barber blessed the clinic on June 4 the feast of the Immaculate Heart of Mary and the clinic was consecrated to the Immaculate Heart as well
Right now the clinic is open from 1000 am to 200 pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays Appointments are required According to Greerty 10 lawyers have signed up to volunteer their services and more than 20 clients have already made appointments ldquoI think we may be onto somethingrdquo he said

BEREAVEMENT REPORT DEACONrsquoS CORNER
Pray With Courage God calls us to live joyfully in the midst of our struggles Yet we yearn for a free more independent way of life than we are currently experienc-ing We pray fervently for many things and then wait hopefully for the changes we desire When we donrsquot get our prayers answered according to how we think they should be answered we sometimes get discouraged When you are wanting waiting waiting for longed answers to prayer it takes courage to continue hoping in God The world and all its vio-lence the flesh and the devil all tell us itrsquos much easier to just give up and give in to dull disappointments In a sense this is true To keep pray-ing with positive expectations requires a lot of effort and perseverance giving up is easier However a resigned I-give-up attitude is always hurtful in the long run Often this leads to cynicisms - and eventually to despair Keep your hopefulness alive Godrsquos intentions and yours may vary We must accept His holy will and try not to be anxious or discouraged Godrsquos plans are always the perfect ones He sees what we cannot He knows whatrsquos best Sometimes our prayers are answered differently In His own time and His own way God will answer every prayer Courage is the word - which comes from the French word for heart God lives in our hearts We can call upon Him to help us live courageously facing ad-versity with confidence and determination Deacon Terry

One subject thatrsquos seriously tough to swallow
My father has an appointment with the gastroenterolo-gist He says hes having trouble swallowing some foods especially cheeseburgers which are a favorite of his Difficulty swallowing is not new for my father When he was in his early 70s my parents frequently visited my
sister in New Hampshire On those visits my father would have difficulty get-ting his food down during mealtime It happened so often that my sisterrsquos son and daughter ages 4 and 8 would call the kitchen chair my father sat in ldquoGrampyrsquos choke chairrdquo The moniker was hilarious to them but probably not so funny to my father At that time my fatherrsquos diagnosis was dysphasiamdashdifficulty swallowing due to acid reflux Gastroesophageal reflux occurs when stomach acids back up into the esoph-agus and irritate the throat It can sometimes cause permanent damage as scar tissue develops The scar tissue can narrow the esophagus causing dif-ficult swallowing Over the next several years my father had his esophagus stretched to reduce the stricture and improve his ability to swallow He also took prescription med-icine to reduce the acid reflux That protocol seemed to work My fatherrsquos current swallowing issue is most likely do to his Parkinsonrsquos dis-ease which can impact muscle control in the throat and therefore affect eat-ing and swallowing My father is not alone Dysphagia is a growing health concern in our aging population Recent studies suggest that 15 percent of the older population is affected by dysphagia Why does this condition have higher incidence among older adults Symptoms of dysphagia vary in each person Some like my father experi-ence problems swallowing solid foods but have no trouble with fluids Others experience the opposite where swallowing liquids becomes difficult but they can manage solids without a problem My mother sometimes has brief coughing fits upon drinking water as it ldquogoes down the wrong piperdquo With dysphagia therersquos a risk of food drink or saliva going down the ldquowrong wayrdquo It can block the airway making it difficult to breathe and causing cough-ing or choking My mother-in-law who also had difficulty swallowing developed aspiration pneumonia Aspiration pneumonia is a chest infection that can develop after accidentally inhaling something such as a small piece of food It causes irritation in the lungs or damages them Older people are particularly at risk of developing aspiration pneumonia Since there is a strong relationship between swallowing ability and malnutri-tion and pneumonia in older adults swallowing interventions are often ad-vised These may include posture adjustments swallow adjustments or changes in diet Trouble swallowing can be frightening but it isnrsquot always a chronic condition If yoursquore experiencing difficulties swallowing talk to your physician Early iden-tification of swallowing abnormalities is critical for reducing the likelihood of complications that can negatively impact your health and quality of life Nobody should have to worry about choking when they are feasting on a big tasty cheeseburger

Inspired by Pope Francis California legal clinic offers free services
July 20 2016 - By Catholic News Agency
Oakland Calif Jul 19 2016 1208 pm (CNAEWTN News)- Free legal coun-sel and advice may sound too good to be true but in the Diocese of Oakland itrsquos a reality On June 7 the Pope Francis Legal Clinic opened in Oakland California on the property of the Cathedral of Christ the Light ldquoSo many people have legal prob-lems because law is everywhererdquo Tom Greerty director and co-founder of the clinic told CNA ldquoWhat we try and do is relieve the hardships of peoplerdquo Experi-enced lawyers volunteer their time to offer free legal consulting reconciliation and resolution services to any adult in the community
Greerty who recently retired from his legal practice in Martinez California said the idea started while he was earning his masterrsquos degree in theological studies from the Dominican School of Philosophy and Theology in Berkeley
ldquoMy professor Sister Marianne Farina asked me to do a project which would be consistent with my jobrdquo Greerty said That project became the Pope Francis Legal Clinic and in less than two years others helped to make his idea a reality
Nico Herrera another attorney in the diocese helped co-found the clinic The Order of Malta which runs a health clinic on the cathedral grounds made space available for the new endeavor with the help of Tony Sanchez Corea a member of the board Bishop Michael C Barber embraced the idea and had the clinicrsquos name in mind
ldquoI want this to be called the Pope Francis Legal Clinicrdquo the bishop told Greerty ldquoWe agreed to that naturallyrdquo Greerty said Bishop Barber had a desire for the clinic to be about mercy not just the law ldquoMercy is ordinarily not about the lawrdquo Greerty explained ldquoThe law doesnrsquot think in terms of mercy The law thinks in The lawyers spend an hour with each client They listen to the clientrsquos story go over the history of the clientrsquos problem and try to understand the ldquonature of the problemrdquo
ldquoWe try to honor the memory of Pope Francis and what he is trying to do with the Year of Mercy to try and help people in a merciful way with the lawrdquo Greerty said He also noted that the idea could likely be replicated in other dioceses across the country
Many Catholic lawyers are retired or far enough along in their practices to have the time and resources to establish similar clinics he said
Bishop Barber blessed the clinic on June 4 the feast of the Immaculate Heart of Mary and the clinic was consecrated to the Immaculate Heart as well
Right now the clinic is open from 1000 am to 200 pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays Appointments are required According to Greerty 10 lawyers have signed up to volunteer their services and more than 20 clients have already made appointments ldquoI think we may be onto somethingrdquo he said

BEREAVEMENT REPORT DEACONrsquoS CORNER
Pray With Courage God calls us to live joyfully in the midst of our struggles Yet we yearn for a free more independent way of life than we are currently experienc-ing We pray fervently for many things and then wait hopefully for the changes we desire When we donrsquot get our prayers answered according to how we think they should be answered we sometimes get discouraged When you are wanting waiting waiting for longed answers to prayer it takes courage to continue hoping in God The world and all its vio-lence the flesh and the devil all tell us itrsquos much easier to just give up and give in to dull disappointments In a sense this is true To keep pray-ing with positive expectations requires a lot of effort and perseverance giving up is easier However a resigned I-give-up attitude is always hurtful in the long run Often this leads to cynicisms - and eventually to despair Keep your hopefulness alive Godrsquos intentions and yours may vary We must accept His holy will and try not to be anxious or discouraged Godrsquos plans are always the perfect ones He sees what we cannot He knows whatrsquos best Sometimes our prayers are answered differently In His own time and His own way God will answer every prayer Courage is the word - which comes from the French word for heart God lives in our hearts We can call upon Him to help us live courageously facing ad-versity with confidence and determination Deacon Terry

One subject thatrsquos seriously tough to swallow
My father has an appointment with the gastroenterolo-gist He says hes having trouble swallowing some foods especially cheeseburgers which are a favorite of his Difficulty swallowing is not new for my father When he was in his early 70s my parents frequently visited my
sister in New Hampshire On those visits my father would have difficulty get-ting his food down during mealtime It happened so often that my sisterrsquos son and daughter ages 4 and 8 would call the kitchen chair my father sat in ldquoGrampyrsquos choke chairrdquo The moniker was hilarious to them but probably not so funny to my father At that time my fatherrsquos diagnosis was dysphasiamdashdifficulty swallowing due to acid reflux Gastroesophageal reflux occurs when stomach acids back up into the esoph-agus and irritate the throat It can sometimes cause permanent damage as scar tissue develops The scar tissue can narrow the esophagus causing dif-ficult swallowing Over the next several years my father had his esophagus stretched to reduce the stricture and improve his ability to swallow He also took prescription med-icine to reduce the acid reflux That protocol seemed to work My fatherrsquos current swallowing issue is most likely do to his Parkinsonrsquos dis-ease which can impact muscle control in the throat and therefore affect eat-ing and swallowing My father is not alone Dysphagia is a growing health concern in our aging population Recent studies suggest that 15 percent of the older population is affected by dysphagia Why does this condition have higher incidence among older adults Symptoms of dysphagia vary in each person Some like my father experi-ence problems swallowing solid foods but have no trouble with fluids Others experience the opposite where swallowing liquids becomes difficult but they can manage solids without a problem My mother sometimes has brief coughing fits upon drinking water as it ldquogoes down the wrong piperdquo With dysphagia therersquos a risk of food drink or saliva going down the ldquowrong wayrdquo It can block the airway making it difficult to breathe and causing cough-ing or choking My mother-in-law who also had difficulty swallowing developed aspiration pneumonia Aspiration pneumonia is a chest infection that can develop after accidentally inhaling something such as a small piece of food It causes irritation in the lungs or damages them Older people are particularly at risk of developing aspiration pneumonia Since there is a strong relationship between swallowing ability and malnutri-tion and pneumonia in older adults swallowing interventions are often ad-vised These may include posture adjustments swallow adjustments or changes in diet Trouble swallowing can be frightening but it isnrsquot always a chronic condition If yoursquore experiencing difficulties swallowing talk to your physician Early iden-tification of swallowing abnormalities is critical for reducing the likelihood of complications that can negatively impact your health and quality of life Nobody should have to worry about choking when they are feasting on a big tasty cheeseburger

Inspired by Pope Francis California legal clinic offers free services
July 20 2016 - By Catholic News Agency
Oakland Calif Jul 19 2016 1208 pm (CNAEWTN News)- Free legal coun-sel and advice may sound too good to be true but in the Diocese of Oakland itrsquos a reality On June 7 the Pope Francis Legal Clinic opened in Oakland California on the property of the Cathedral of Christ the Light ldquoSo many people have legal prob-lems because law is everywhererdquo Tom Greerty director and co-founder of the clinic told CNA ldquoWhat we try and do is relieve the hardships of peoplerdquo Experi-enced lawyers volunteer their time to offer free legal consulting reconciliation and resolution services to any adult in the community
Greerty who recently retired from his legal practice in Martinez California said the idea started while he was earning his masterrsquos degree in theological studies from the Dominican School of Philosophy and Theology in Berkeley
ldquoMy professor Sister Marianne Farina asked me to do a project which would be consistent with my jobrdquo Greerty said That project became the Pope Francis Legal Clinic and in less than two years others helped to make his idea a reality
Nico Herrera another attorney in the diocese helped co-found the clinic The Order of Malta which runs a health clinic on the cathedral grounds made space available for the new endeavor with the help of Tony Sanchez Corea a member of the board Bishop Michael C Barber embraced the idea and had the clinicrsquos name in mind
ldquoI want this to be called the Pope Francis Legal Clinicrdquo the bishop told Greerty ldquoWe agreed to that naturallyrdquo Greerty said Bishop Barber had a desire for the clinic to be about mercy not just the law ldquoMercy is ordinarily not about the lawrdquo Greerty explained ldquoThe law doesnrsquot think in terms of mercy The law thinks in The lawyers spend an hour with each client They listen to the clientrsquos story go over the history of the clientrsquos problem and try to understand the ldquonature of the problemrdquo
ldquoWe try to honor the memory of Pope Francis and what he is trying to do with the Year of Mercy to try and help people in a merciful way with the lawrdquo Greerty said He also noted that the idea could likely be replicated in other dioceses across the country
Many Catholic lawyers are retired or far enough along in their practices to have the time and resources to establish similar clinics he said
Bishop Barber blessed the clinic on June 4 the feast of the Immaculate Heart of Mary and the clinic was consecrated to the Immaculate Heart as well
Right now the clinic is open from 1000 am to 200 pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays Appointments are required According to Greerty 10 lawyers have signed up to volunteer their services and more than 20 clients have already made appointments ldquoI think we may be onto somethingrdquo he said

BEREAVEMENT REPORT DEACONrsquoS CORNER
Pray With Courage God calls us to live joyfully in the midst of our struggles Yet we yearn for a free more independent way of life than we are currently experienc-ing We pray fervently for many things and then wait hopefully for the changes we desire When we donrsquot get our prayers answered according to how we think they should be answered we sometimes get discouraged When you are wanting waiting waiting for longed answers to prayer it takes courage to continue hoping in God The world and all its vio-lence the flesh and the devil all tell us itrsquos much easier to just give up and give in to dull disappointments In a sense this is true To keep pray-ing with positive expectations requires a lot of effort and perseverance giving up is easier However a resigned I-give-up attitude is always hurtful in the long run Often this leads to cynicisms - and eventually to despair Keep your hopefulness alive Godrsquos intentions and yours may vary We must accept His holy will and try not to be anxious or discouraged Godrsquos plans are always the perfect ones He sees what we cannot He knows whatrsquos best Sometimes our prayers are answered differently In His own time and His own way God will answer every prayer Courage is the word - which comes from the French word for heart God lives in our hearts We can call upon Him to help us live courageously facing ad-versity with confidence and determination Deacon Terry

One subject thatrsquos seriously tough to swallow
My father has an appointment with the gastroenterolo-gist He says hes having trouble swallowing some foods especially cheeseburgers which are a favorite of his Difficulty swallowing is not new for my father When he was in his early 70s my parents frequently visited my
sister in New Hampshire On those visits my father would have difficulty get-ting his food down during mealtime It happened so often that my sisterrsquos son and daughter ages 4 and 8 would call the kitchen chair my father sat in ldquoGrampyrsquos choke chairrdquo The moniker was hilarious to them but probably not so funny to my father At that time my fatherrsquos diagnosis was dysphasiamdashdifficulty swallowing due to acid reflux Gastroesophageal reflux occurs when stomach acids back up into the esoph-agus and irritate the throat It can sometimes cause permanent damage as scar tissue develops The scar tissue can narrow the esophagus causing dif-ficult swallowing Over the next several years my father had his esophagus stretched to reduce the stricture and improve his ability to swallow He also took prescription med-icine to reduce the acid reflux That protocol seemed to work My fatherrsquos current swallowing issue is most likely do to his Parkinsonrsquos dis-ease which can impact muscle control in the throat and therefore affect eat-ing and swallowing My father is not alone Dysphagia is a growing health concern in our aging population Recent studies suggest that 15 percent of the older population is affected by dysphagia Why does this condition have higher incidence among older adults Symptoms of dysphagia vary in each person Some like my father experi-ence problems swallowing solid foods but have no trouble with fluids Others experience the opposite where swallowing liquids becomes difficult but they can manage solids without a problem My mother sometimes has brief coughing fits upon drinking water as it ldquogoes down the wrong piperdquo With dysphagia therersquos a risk of food drink or saliva going down the ldquowrong wayrdquo It can block the airway making it difficult to breathe and causing cough-ing or choking My mother-in-law who also had difficulty swallowing developed aspiration pneumonia Aspiration pneumonia is a chest infection that can develop after accidentally inhaling something such as a small piece of food It causes irritation in the lungs or damages them Older people are particularly at risk of developing aspiration pneumonia Since there is a strong relationship between swallowing ability and malnutri-tion and pneumonia in older adults swallowing interventions are often ad-vised These may include posture adjustments swallow adjustments or changes in diet Trouble swallowing can be frightening but it isnrsquot always a chronic condition If yoursquore experiencing difficulties swallowing talk to your physician Early iden-tification of swallowing abnormalities is critical for reducing the likelihood of complications that can negatively impact your health and quality of life Nobody should have to worry about choking when they are feasting on a big tasty cheeseburger

Inspired by Pope Francis California legal clinic offers free services
July 20 2016 - By Catholic News Agency
Oakland Calif Jul 19 2016 1208 pm (CNAEWTN News)- Free legal coun-sel and advice may sound too good to be true but in the Diocese of Oakland itrsquos a reality On June 7 the Pope Francis Legal Clinic opened in Oakland California on the property of the Cathedral of Christ the Light ldquoSo many people have legal prob-lems because law is everywhererdquo Tom Greerty director and co-founder of the clinic told CNA ldquoWhat we try and do is relieve the hardships of peoplerdquo Experi-enced lawyers volunteer their time to offer free legal consulting reconciliation and resolution services to any adult in the community
Greerty who recently retired from his legal practice in Martinez California said the idea started while he was earning his masterrsquos degree in theological studies from the Dominican School of Philosophy and Theology in Berkeley
ldquoMy professor Sister Marianne Farina asked me to do a project which would be consistent with my jobrdquo Greerty said That project became the Pope Francis Legal Clinic and in less than two years others helped to make his idea a reality
Nico Herrera another attorney in the diocese helped co-found the clinic The Order of Malta which runs a health clinic on the cathedral grounds made space available for the new endeavor with the help of Tony Sanchez Corea a member of the board Bishop Michael C Barber embraced the idea and had the clinicrsquos name in mind
ldquoI want this to be called the Pope Francis Legal Clinicrdquo the bishop told Greerty ldquoWe agreed to that naturallyrdquo Greerty said Bishop Barber had a desire for the clinic to be about mercy not just the law ldquoMercy is ordinarily not about the lawrdquo Greerty explained ldquoThe law doesnrsquot think in terms of mercy The law thinks in The lawyers spend an hour with each client They listen to the clientrsquos story go over the history of the clientrsquos problem and try to understand the ldquonature of the problemrdquo
ldquoWe try to honor the memory of Pope Francis and what he is trying to do with the Year of Mercy to try and help people in a merciful way with the lawrdquo Greerty said He also noted that the idea could likely be replicated in other dioceses across the country
Many Catholic lawyers are retired or far enough along in their practices to have the time and resources to establish similar clinics he said
Bishop Barber blessed the clinic on June 4 the feast of the Immaculate Heart of Mary and the clinic was consecrated to the Immaculate Heart as well
Right now the clinic is open from 1000 am to 200 pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays Appointments are required According to Greerty 10 lawyers have signed up to volunteer their services and more than 20 clients have already made appointments ldquoI think we may be onto somethingrdquo he said

One subject thatrsquos seriously tough to swallow
My father has an appointment with the gastroenterolo-gist He says hes having trouble swallowing some foods especially cheeseburgers which are a favorite of his Difficulty swallowing is not new for my father When he was in his early 70s my parents frequently visited my
sister in New Hampshire On those visits my father would have difficulty get-ting his food down during mealtime It happened so often that my sisterrsquos son and daughter ages 4 and 8 would call the kitchen chair my father sat in ldquoGrampyrsquos choke chairrdquo The moniker was hilarious to them but probably not so funny to my father At that time my fatherrsquos diagnosis was dysphasiamdashdifficulty swallowing due to acid reflux Gastroesophageal reflux occurs when stomach acids back up into the esoph-agus and irritate the throat It can sometimes cause permanent damage as scar tissue develops The scar tissue can narrow the esophagus causing dif-ficult swallowing Over the next several years my father had his esophagus stretched to reduce the stricture and improve his ability to swallow He also took prescription med-icine to reduce the acid reflux That protocol seemed to work My fatherrsquos current swallowing issue is most likely do to his Parkinsonrsquos dis-ease which can impact muscle control in the throat and therefore affect eat-ing and swallowing My father is not alone Dysphagia is a growing health concern in our aging population Recent studies suggest that 15 percent of the older population is affected by dysphagia Why does this condition have higher incidence among older adults Symptoms of dysphagia vary in each person Some like my father experi-ence problems swallowing solid foods but have no trouble with fluids Others experience the opposite where swallowing liquids becomes difficult but they can manage solids without a problem My mother sometimes has brief coughing fits upon drinking water as it ldquogoes down the wrong piperdquo With dysphagia therersquos a risk of food drink or saliva going down the ldquowrong wayrdquo It can block the airway making it difficult to breathe and causing cough-ing or choking My mother-in-law who also had difficulty swallowing developed aspiration pneumonia Aspiration pneumonia is a chest infection that can develop after accidentally inhaling something such as a small piece of food It causes irritation in the lungs or damages them Older people are particularly at risk of developing aspiration pneumonia Since there is a strong relationship between swallowing ability and malnutri-tion and pneumonia in older adults swallowing interventions are often ad-vised These may include posture adjustments swallow adjustments or changes in diet Trouble swallowing can be frightening but it isnrsquot always a chronic condition If yoursquore experiencing difficulties swallowing talk to your physician Early iden-tification of swallowing abnormalities is critical for reducing the likelihood of complications that can negatively impact your health and quality of life Nobody should have to worry about choking when they are feasting on a big tasty cheeseburger

Inspired by Pope Francis California legal clinic offers free services
July 20 2016 - By Catholic News Agency
Oakland Calif Jul 19 2016 1208 pm (CNAEWTN News)- Free legal coun-sel and advice may sound too good to be true but in the Diocese of Oakland itrsquos a reality On June 7 the Pope Francis Legal Clinic opened in Oakland California on the property of the Cathedral of Christ the Light ldquoSo many people have legal prob-lems because law is everywhererdquo Tom Greerty director and co-founder of the clinic told CNA ldquoWhat we try and do is relieve the hardships of peoplerdquo Experi-enced lawyers volunteer their time to offer free legal consulting reconciliation and resolution services to any adult in the community
Greerty who recently retired from his legal practice in Martinez California said the idea started while he was earning his masterrsquos degree in theological studies from the Dominican School of Philosophy and Theology in Berkeley
ldquoMy professor Sister Marianne Farina asked me to do a project which would be consistent with my jobrdquo Greerty said That project became the Pope Francis Legal Clinic and in less than two years others helped to make his idea a reality
Nico Herrera another attorney in the diocese helped co-found the clinic The Order of Malta which runs a health clinic on the cathedral grounds made space available for the new endeavor with the help of Tony Sanchez Corea a member of the board Bishop Michael C Barber embraced the idea and had the clinicrsquos name in mind
ldquoI want this to be called the Pope Francis Legal Clinicrdquo the bishop told Greerty ldquoWe agreed to that naturallyrdquo Greerty said Bishop Barber had a desire for the clinic to be about mercy not just the law ldquoMercy is ordinarily not about the lawrdquo Greerty explained ldquoThe law doesnrsquot think in terms of mercy The law thinks in The lawyers spend an hour with each client They listen to the clientrsquos story go over the history of the clientrsquos problem and try to understand the ldquonature of the problemrdquo
ldquoWe try to honor the memory of Pope Francis and what he is trying to do with the Year of Mercy to try and help people in a merciful way with the lawrdquo Greerty said He also noted that the idea could likely be replicated in other dioceses across the country
Many Catholic lawyers are retired or far enough along in their practices to have the time and resources to establish similar clinics he said
Bishop Barber blessed the clinic on June 4 the feast of the Immaculate Heart of Mary and the clinic was consecrated to the Immaculate Heart as well
Right now the clinic is open from 1000 am to 200 pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays Appointments are required According to Greerty 10 lawyers have signed up to volunteer their services and more than 20 clients have already made appointments ldquoI think we may be onto somethingrdquo he said
