​​

†  On July 13 and 20 there will only be ONE MASS at 10 am (due to Father traveling).

 

† Summer Modesty: During the summer months, please remember to observe the modesty standards. Our Lady of Fatima said, many souls go to hell because of the sin of the flesh. The Mary-like standards for Modesty in Dress (as set down by the Church): “A dress cannot be called decent which is cut deeper than two fingers’ breadth under the pit of the throat; which does not cover the arms at least to the elbows; and scarcely reaches a bit beyond the knees. Furthermore, dresses of transparent materials are improper.” The Cardinal Vicar of Pope Pius XI.  

Marylike Standards:

  1. Marylike is modest without compromise, “like Mary,” Christ’s mother.

  2. Marylike dresses extend at least to the elbows; and skirts reaching below the knees when sitting and standing.

  3. Marylike dress requires full coverage for bodice, chest, shoulders and back; except for a cut-out about the neck not exceeding two inches below the neckline in front and in back and a corresponding two inches on the shoulders.

  4. Marylike dresses do not admit as modest coverage transparent fabrics — laces, nets, organdy, nylons, etc. — unless sufficient backing is added.

  5. Marylike dresses conceal rather than reveal the figure of the wearer; they do not unduly emphasize the parts of the body


†  14 DAY SANCTUARY LAMP:  is burning for the weeks of (7/12 to 7/25) for the INTENTIONS of Jamie Kennedy. If you would like to donate to light the 14 day sanctuary candle for your intention, please let Father know. The donation for each candle is $25 (candles generally last 14 days, but sometimes they burn faster than expected).

Reflection: The Catechism Explained By Stories and Examples
by Fr. Francis Spirago
Sixth Lesson: On Sin and its Kinds
Question: Which are the chief sources of sin?
Answer: The chief sources of sin are seven: Pride, Covetousness, Lust, Anger, Gluttony, Envy, and Sloth; and they are commonly called capital sins.

Covetousness: The Supposed Possessor of $50,000: Those who support their parents from selfish motives have no merit in God’s sight. A rich manufacturer had two daughters, both of whom he married very well, giving them a splendid trousseau and ample dowry. But as they knew that he still had considerable property they begged him to divide it between them, promising that they would each provide for him in turn. The father was so foolish as to yield to them and part with all his fortune. He was soon made to repent of his weak compliance with their request, for they kept him like a beggar. The unfortunate man told his story to an old friend, himself a man of large means, and asked his advice. This friend at once gave him a bank-note, telling him to order an elaborate dinner and invite his daughters and their husbands, besides an elect part of friends. He lent him besides, the sum of $50,000, telling him he he would send a trust messenger, while the dinner was going on, to fetch it. Accordingly, while the guests were at table, a liveried servant appeared with a note, requesting the master of the house to lend his friend that amount for three days. The host, apologizing for attending to urgent business, left the table, and taking the roll of notes from an iron safe, counted them out before the assembled company before entrusting them to the servant. His daughters and sons-in-law were astonished. From that time forth they totally changed their behavior to their father; his daughters vied with each other in their attentions to him. When he died, the safe from which he took the money was opened; they expected a rich legacy. To their amazement only a few stones were found in it, and a paper whereon were these words: “That man is a fool who divides his property between his children during his lifetime.”

The Miser Who Burned His Notes: The miser is his own worst enemy. A certain miser, who grudged himself the bare necessaries of life, was seriously ill. As he grew worse and worse, he was at length prevailed upon to have medical advice. The doctor diagnosed his malady and declared that he had at most three days to live. He exhorted him to send for the priest and prepare for death. When he had gone, the miser did not follow his advice and summon the priest; he got out of bed and taking a quantity of bank-notes and bonds, he put them in the fireplace and set fire to them. He did not wish any one to inherit his property. Then he went back to bed. When the doctor came the next day, he found his patient had taken an unexcited turn for the better. On hearing this, the miser was aghast, thinking of what he had done. He did, in fact, recover wonderfully soon, and the money which he had remaining did not last long. In a few weeks’ time he had to beg his bread. Thus he had been his own worst enemy.
