MO Catholic bishops support Medicaid Expansion on August 4th Ballot Expanding access to Medicaid will help many low-income, working Missourians get access to healthcare coverage through the Medicaid program. It will also help Catholic hospitals improve their operating margins by reducing uncompensated care. The Missouri bishops are supporting this effort. Will you join them? For more information on Medicaid, and to listen to a podcast about the Medicaid expansion ballot proposal (Amendment 2), please visit the Missouri Catholic Conference website at www.mocatholic.org

REMINDER OF CEMETERY FLOWERS: Just a reminder that during the summer grass cutting season to please limit the number of decorations placed on graves & ask that you please put decorations on the head stone instead of the grave, in our cemeteries. It is exceedingly difficult to cut and weed-eat around too many decorations and flowers. And, because the people who do the grass cutting & weed-eating are parishioner volunteers, we ask you to take into consideration the work that needs to be done. We are always looking for more help! Call the rectory office if you can volunteer a few hours. Also, we will remove old decorations, as necessary. Thank you!

God, in His great love for his people, gave us His Ten Commandments. One very important commandment for the abortion issue is "Thou shall not kill". Ruth Weber, Davenport Iowa Newspaper Article

THIS WEEKS READING- Isaiah’s poetry and Jesus’ parable tell in complementary ways the power of God’s word. Isaiah extols its fruitfulness, the LORD promising that it will flower just as the fertile earth does when watered by rain or snow. Jesus tells of the sower, whose indiscriminate scattering of the word of the kingdom leads to different outcomes depending on where it lands. May we listen attentively today, soaking up God’s word so that it may bear fruit in us. QUESTION OF THE WEEK- How can I be more receptive to God’s word, like rich soil? What specific action can I accomplish this week to bear fruit?

July 19th-Word Of Life “Married love differs from any other love in the world. By its nature, the love of husband and wife is so complete, so ordered to a lifetime of communion with God and each other, that it is open to creating a new human being they will love and care for together. … That power to create a new life with God is at the heart of what spouses share with each other.” United States Conference of Catholic Bishops “Married Love and the Gift of Life”

July 19, 2020 - 16th Sunday in Ordinary Time

“The kingdom of heaven may be likened to a man who sowed good seed in his field…He who sows good seed is the Son of Man, the field is the world, the good seed the children of the kingdom.” (Matthew 13:24, 37-38)

As children of God, we are all “good seeds.” We are blessed by God with the potential to accomplish much good in the world. We fulfill God’s plan when we spend time in prayer every day, use our skills to help others, and share our financial gifts to help build God’s kingdom on earth. Through our example of gratitude and generosity we sow “good seeds” on earth and ultimately help each other get to Heaven!
