Thank You!
Loving Food Resources appreciates
your ongoing support.
From January through July you donated 1355
pounds of food to help Loving Food Resources continue to offer assistance to the 90+
people a week that are provided food for nutritious
meals that they would not be able to have without
this program.
Please continue your generous and much needed
support by bringing in non-perishable food items
for our monthly collection and depositing them in
the collection basket in the Narthex next weekend,
August 20 & 21.
Do you have a few hours to spare once a month on
a Saturday morning? If you do then Loving Food
Resources can use your assistance for food distribution. For more information or to volunteer to
assist this vital and unique community resource,
please contact:
Paul Le Schack at leschack@hotmail.com

It doesn't take a lot to make a big difference in the lives
of those less fortunate than you.

LIFE IS LOOKING FOR
VOLUNTEERS . . . There is
a need in the following
areas:
* Children’s Liturgy of the Word—Anyone
interested in leading the children’s Liturgy of the
Word, on a monthly basis. Books are available as a
guide.
* We need people to lead the Rosary—
Before the 5:00 Mass and 10:00 Mass. This would
be on a monthly schedule and to fill in when someone is away. Booklets are available.

OF THE AMERICAS

IN UNITY AND CHARITY
Catholic Daughters of the Americas strives
to embrace the principle of faith working
through love in the promotion of justice,
equality, and the advancement of human
rights and human dignity for all.
We donate to local and national charities,
administer scholarship programs and
strive “to be helping hands where there is
pain, poverty, sorrow or sickness.” We undertake events to financially support the
charities we support.
Under the patronage of the Blessed
Mother, the Catholic Daughters of the
Americas are united by their faith in Jesus
Christ, in their devotion to the church and
the Holy See. For example: We collect
Box tops for Education to support programs at Asheville Catholic School. Box
tops are collected and sent to ACS twice a
year, in April and December. Members of
the parish are encouraged to participate.
Box tops may be given to any Catholic
Daughter.
UPCOMING: September 25, we are
having
our
annual
CHOCOLATE
PARTY. All things
chocolate …
All members of the
parish are invited to
attend this yummy
event.
Monday, August 15th, is the Feast
of the Assumption. This is not a Holy
Day of Obligation this year.
Mass will be celebrated at 9:00am
on that day.
The Office will be closed that day.
Weekly Offering Summary
August 13 & 14
Discussion Questions
20th Sunday of Ordinary Time
August 14, 2016
First Reading / Jeremiah 38:4-6, 8-10
1. Are you certain enough of God’s covenant with us
that you can carry out a “leap of faith”? What gave the
Israelites the courage to begin their journey into the unknown? How do you yourself make smaller leaps, maybe hops, of faith in your everyday life?
2. What is “the Passover”? Can you trace it to the Hebrew testament? Was it of “divine institution”?
Second Reading / Hebrews 12:1-4
1. What is the “cloud of witnesses” Paul refers to? What
does everyone in the “cloud” have in common with the
others? Do you have favorites in this cloud? Why? Do
you think many of them were “thrown in the mud” or
treated like Jeremiah? Did everyone in the “cloud” keep
his/her eyes on Jesus?
2. Pope Francis gave this “lesson” on contemplative
prayer as he reflected on our Gospel Reading at Casa
Santa Marta.
We should all carry out this contemplative prayer. ‘But I
have so much to do!’ At home, [take] 15 minutes, pick
up the Gospel, a small passage, imagine what happened
and talk with Jesus about it. So your gaze will be fixed
on Jesus and not so much on a TV soap opera, for example. Your ears will be focused on the words of Jesus and
not so much on your neighborhood gossip.”
Pope Francis: A lesson in contemplative prayer, February 4, 2015
If your eyes are on Jesus, what are they not on? What is
the outcome of developing a habit of contemplation?
Gospel / Luke 12:49-53
1. According to this Gospel, what did Jesus come on
earth to do? What does he wish? What is the “fire” he
wants the earth consumed with? Does part of that fire
consume you?
2. God seems to have a radical, unconditional love for
us. Could the resistance to it that some people have
cause the divisions Jesus mentions in this Gospel?

THANK YOU—FROM BRIGHT BLESSINGS . . .
Because of your generosity and support, Bright Blessings of
Asheville was able to host another Bless-a-Baby shower party
in a local homeless shelter last week. The mother to be was
extremely moved and grateful for the expression of love and
support from strangers during a difficult time in her life. We
were able to supply her with many essentials to welcome her
baby and offer it a healthy start in life.
Thank you for your donations to our recent collection of items
for our parties. Because of your participation we are closer to
launching our Bless-a-Birthday shelter program where we
host birthday parties for the resident children, many of whom
have never had a birthday party.
If you missed our collection, you may still bring in birthday
items and deposit them in the collection basket in the Narthex.
The following items are still needed:
Matchbox Cars
Craft Kits
Journals
Toddler Toys
Small Board Games
Baby Dolls / Barbie Dolls
Watches
Baby Toys
Small Lego Sets
Card Games
Nerf Footballs
Teen Jewelry
Nail Polish
Makeup Kits
*All items MUST be new and in unopened packages
Remember the joy of your childhood birthday parties? Please
help the children living in our local homeless shelters experience recognition and the feeling of joy on their special day,
for many for the first time.
