FEAST OF ST. BONAVENTURE:

On July 15th, we celebrate the feast day of our patron, St. Bonaventure. Born in Bagnoregio, Italy, in 121, he is best known as the "Seraphic Doctor" of the Church. Legend tells us he was named "Bonaventure" (meaning "good fortune") after St. Francis of Assisi prayed for his recovery from a dangerous childhood illness. A brilliant scholar and a devoted friend to St. Thomas Aquinas, Bonaventure became the Minister General of the Franciscan Order at just 35 years old. He is credited with guiding his order through a time of great turmoil, bringing peace and stability.

EARTHQUAKE RELIEF:

Anyone wishing to contribute to the relief efforts in response to the twin earthquakes in Venezuela can do so by marking a blank envelope: “Venezuela Earthquake Relief” (please include your envelope number), placing your donation within and putting it in the Sunday Collection. Any cheques should be made out to your parish so that the parish can provide you with an income tax receipt and make it easier to provide one lump sum for the cause. Thank you.

SUMMER PRAYER:

Creator God, we thank you for making this beautiful world and for calling us your people. Help us enjoy these summer days. Let this be a time of refreshment and joy and bring us rest. Give us your grace to witness, to serve you each day, and to grow in your love. Father, we ask this through Jesus Christ our Lord.

HOW CAN WE HELP YOU IN PRAYER THIS WEEK?:

Let us pray: God who is beyond all, we know that your plans for us are for our welfare, not our woe. Your Son, Jesus Christ, who died for us, is proof of your love. Help us not be afraid as we imitate Him in our lives, by loving generously and graciously. Through Christ our Risen Lord. Amen.
