Gospel Question of the Week

Germans have a word to describe this time

of the year – Sauregurkenzeit. It literally

translates as “sour pickle time” (because it’s

the time when cucumbers are ready to be

picked for pickling). It refers to the weeks

during summer when there is not much happening.

School is closed. People are away on vacation or at summer

cabins or camps. Everybody is a little sluggish because of the

heat. Not much is stirring.

My spirit too often experiences sauregurkenzeit during this

time of the summer. It becomes hard for me to get inspired.

Not much seems to be happening in prayer. I try not to get

discouraged because eventually I’ll break out of the funk.

It’s like opening a pickle jar. Most pickle jars are stubbornly

hard to open. You grip and twist and grunt again and again.

Nothing gives. So, you take a breath and relax and try again

and – POP! It’s open.

Whenever and however sauregurkenzeit has you feeling stuck,

sluggish, dull, or frustrated that nothing’s happening, in prayer

or in some area of your life – breathe, relax, try again.

God will pop it for you eventually. All things pass. Blessed be

sauregurkenzeit!

FAREWELL, FLAMINGOS!

The Flamingo Flocking Fundraiser has

come to an end. Thank you to all who

have sent the Flamingo Flock out to your family

and friends! They have enjoyed their time

flying to raise money for the youth at SVDP to

go on the mission trip to the Dominican Republic!

Thank you!

T E E N S Emmaus Ministry next Sunday

Juniors and Seniors,

join us once per month!

Sunday, July 28 at Noon

Emmaus Peer Ministry is a monthly

group for Jrs. and Srs. in high school

where we strive to be Catholic leaders.

The goal of Emmaus is to form disciples

that desire to walk alongside their peers

to help them in any situation possible

and lead them to Jesus.

If you could sit at the feet of Jesus and

listen to him, what would you most want

to hear?

Please take time today to discuss this question with

others, or to reflect on it in private prayer.

Dear Parishioners of

St. Vincent de Paul,

I would like to say to all of

you "ASANTE SANA!" ("Thank

you very much" in Swahili)

for your warm welcome and

your openness. It was a great

opportunity to be with you earlier this month. Thanks for your

prayers and your support. MUNGU AWABARIK KILA

SIKUI! ("May God bless you every day!")

NFP Awareness Week

begins this Sunday, July 21 The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops has

designated the last week of July as NFP Awareness Week.

NFP stands for Natural Family Planning, and offers a

scientific and marriage building opportunity by learning

about one’s fertility. NFP Awareness Week supports couples

by bringing awareness of spousal love. This year NFP Week

runs from July 21-27. These dates include the anniversary of

the papal encyclical Humanae Vitae (July 25) the feast of

St. Joachim and St. Anne (July 26). Human life is a beautiful

gift and is to be cherished.

Where to learn more about NFP

Learn about Catholic teaching on responsible parenthood and

Natural Family Planning. Visit the U.S. Conference of Catholic

Bishops NFP Program’s website at: http://www.usccb.org/

issues-and-action/marriage-and-family/natural-family-

planning.

Want to learn a method of Natural Family Planning in a class

near your home? Visit the U.S. Bishops’ online diocesan NFP

coordinators’ directory at: http://www.usccb.org/nfp/find-an-

nfp-class.cfm. Be sure to look up your state and diocese for

your own home. There are national NFP providers who offer

distance learning, through correspondences and the Internet.
