The annual Missionary Cooperative Appeal is this weekend for both St. Peter and St. Julie Parishes. Fr. Gilbert OFM has been assigned to St. Peter Parish. Fr. Joy OFM has been assigned to St. Julie Billiart Parish. They have driven from Wisconsin to share their mission experiences with North Ridgeville.
Fr. Joy OFM and Fr. Gilbert OFM have given their lives to proclaim Jesus Christ and serve His poor. Let us welcome them with love and support their work. Our monetary gifts fuels their labors. May the Lord bless their service of Christ and the Church, and bless our generosity!
St. Peter Parish is hosting a “Come and See” information evening for the Order of Christian Initiation of Adults on Wednesday, July 29 at 7:00 PM in the Galilee Room. If you or someone you know has an interest in becoming Catholic or wants more information, please encourage them to attend. All are welcome.
Two weeks ago, six of the Cycling Saints peddled from Bur Oak Metro Park to St. Anthony Parish on Lake Erie. It was a lovely day and a leisurely ride. This Sunday, July 26 we will be leaving at 2:30 PM from the Wallace Lake parking lot in Berea and bike along the Cleveland Metro Park path North Royalton and back. This is a flat 20-mile ride. All are welcome.
Our readings this weekend depict true wisdom. King Solomon leads the way. In an experience that seems almost like a “genie in a bottle” dream (Ask something of me and I will give it to you. I Kings 3:5), Solomon asked for wisdom. His humility was rewarded with wisdom as well as with an abundance of earthly goods.
In the gospel, wisdom appeared as something a bit counter-intuitive. One person stumbled onto a treasure in a field. Another person searched for the perfect pearl for his whole life. Both of them sell everything they have on order to purchase the field and the pearl.
I described this wisdom as “counter-intuitive”. Conventional wisdom warns us against “putting all of one’s eggs into one basket.” A more diversified approach seems to make better sense of investing one’s resources. What if things do not work out? Hold onto one’s resources to fund a “plan B” initially seems wiser.
However, faith in God’s goodness means trusting that His Kingdom is worth it and that God will provide what we need during our earthly journey. Jesus said, “…seek first the kingdom [of God] and his righteousness, and all these things will be given you besides.” (Matthew 6:33) When St. Paul affirmed the generosity of the Philippians he said, “My God will fully supply whatever you need, in accord with his glorious riches in Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 4:19)
May the Lord grant us the wisdom to put Christ first in all things. He will not disappoint!
In Christ,
Fr. Bob Franco
As seen from in our church!
