Let us give up vain and fruitless cares, and approach the glorious and venerable rule of our holy calling.
Let us attend to what is good, pleasing, and acceptable in the sight of God Who formed us...and let those who have
love in Jesus Christ keep the Commandments of Christ.

From Our Pastor:Let us join together in praising and thanking God for our new bishop, the Most Rev�
Donald J� Hying, who was installed as the fifth bishop of the Diocese of Madison this past Tuesday, June 25th� His motto, “Love never fails” (1 Corinthians 13:8) is at the heart of the Gospel of Saint Luke this Sunday (Luke 9:51-62), as Jesus becomes “resolutely determined” to journey to Jerusalem, setting His face toward Jerusalem (Luke 9:51-62)� In His love for us, Jesus Christ turns to Jerusalem, where through His Passion, death and Resurrection and His Ascension into Heaven, He will glorify God the Father�
In His love for us, Jesus once again calls His disciples to follow Him� He calls us to respond to His love, to deepen our love for Him by our participation in His Paschal Mystery (His Passion, death and Resurrection and Ascension into Heaven), knowing that if we suffer with Christ, we will also be glorified in Him (Romans 8:14-39; 1 Peter 4:12-19)� Jesus describes at least three qualities of discipleship (Luke 9):
First, disciples find rest in God� We find rest because we are “at home” with Jesus Christ, in the Holy Trinity of God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, in doing His will (e�g�, loving God with all our being and our neighbor as ourselves; praying; keeping the Ten Commandments; promoting and defending the Faith entrusted to us; frequenting the Sacraments, especially Confession and the Holy Eucharist)�
Second, disciples “let the dead bury the dead�” In other words, Christian disciples should not delay in following the Lord� There are no good excuses for not following the Lord� Discipleship demands our full surrender to and trust in God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, Who in turn provides for all our needs� As Bishop Hying reminded us last Tuesday, our answer to God each day is rooted in loving God with everything and serving others with humble charity� The same charity, Bishop Hying said, that chose to be born in poverty, heal the leprous, dine with sinners, raise the dead, wash dirty feet, give humanity the Holy Eucharist and lay down on a terrifying Cross, and love a thief, a traitor and a coward� Such love, such humble charity, is so far beyond our human categories of what seems just and proper, it takes our breath away, he said�
Third, disciples put their hands to the plow and do not look back� Jesus Christ wants us to give Him our all: physically, emotionally and spiritually� He knows our deep desire to be loved and to love� He calls us to belong to Him (Romans 1:1-17; Galatians 3) – and He says blessed are the single-hearted (Matthew 5:8), those who love God with all their heart, mind and soul, and their neighbor as themselves� Again, as Bishop Hying reminded us last week, we can love God because He has loved us first, and in His love we discover the meaning and purpose of our life�
When we rest in the Lord, follow Him unreservedly, giving ourselves completely to Him, then we experience evermore deeply our fulfillment: His Love (1 John 4)� Then, by our example, in words and deeds, we can, in truth and love, invite others to follow Jesus Christ, the Only Savior of the world�
With peace and prayers in Christ,Fr. William

“Office Angels�” What’s that you might ask? An office angel assists at the Day Center during the daytime hours, weekdays and weekends to be with families in case of an emergency, playing with the kids, maybe watching a movie with families, or if families are seeking some alone time, you might read a book or magazine you brought with you� Being an “office angel” is a ministry of presence� It’s being there with and for the families� Don’t underestimate the gift of small acts of kindness and interaction� They mean a lot to families who can often feel alone� To volunteer and to get more information, contact Sam Villeneuve, interim director of Family Promise of Grant County, at 723-3355� Please leave a message if no one answers the phone as Sam may be with guests, or out of the office�
Father of all nations and ages, we recall the day when our country
claimed its place among the family of nations;for what has been achieved,
we give You thanks;for the work that still remains,
we ask Your help;and as You have called us from many peoples to be one nation,
grant that, under Your providence, our country may share Your blessings
with all the peoples of the earth�Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Your Son,
Who lives and reigns with You, in the unity of the Holy Spirit,One God, for ever and ever� Amen�

SPECIAL PRAYER SERVICE FOR OUR LADY OF GUADALUPE SILVER ROSE
In 1960, Knights of Columbus Squires from Canada, the United States of America and Mexico decided to honor the Blessed Virgin Mary by “running” a natural rose from Ontario, Canada, and presented the Rose to her on her feast day, December 12th, at the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Monterrey, Mexico� By the third year, it was the Running of the Silver Rose� In 2001, the Knights of Columbus renewed the Run by reaffirming the sacredness of life and Mary’s position as the Mother of God and our Mother�
The Rose will visit St� Clement on Sunday, July 21st at 3 pm for you to unite your thanks and your petitions with the Blessed Virgin Mary! Please plan to attend!
