of Harvest Hope Catholic Community 320 845 2416 24326 Trobec St Albany MN 56307 When making decisions, we often struggle with what voice to follow. We acknowledge the presence of God, the existence of the Trinity, the priority of the Gospel, and the virtues and values they embody. Yet, even with all of that truth, knowledge, and tradition behind us, we think we know better. When confronted with a decision, we easily dismiss what we know we ought and need to do and entertain responses that stem from lesser desires and wants. We eventually may come around and realize that what God asks us to do is what we need to do, even if it wasn t our original intention. God accepts our return to Him with joy. What becomes dishonest is deceiving ourselves, God, and others by originally saying yes to what we know we need (and are asked to do) and willfully doing something else. That is blatant hypocrisy.

Stewardship Presentations at Our Parishes Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows. -James 1:17 We begin a series of stewardship presentations in our parishes this weekend. The goal is to keep you informed about the vitality and fiscal health of your parish. I (Fr. Edward) will be giving these presentations at the following masses: September 26 & 27, 5pm Seven Dolors, 8am & 10:30am Saint Benedict October 4, 7:30am Seven Dolors, 9:30am St. martin October 11, 8:30am St. Anthony, 10:30am Seven Dolors In this unusual year, I would like us all to consider what we need to do to set the boat of our churches in the water with the sales lifted, so that we catch the winds of the Holy Spirit blowing us to where we need to be. World Day of Migrants & Refugees In his address Pope Francis said that, When we know their stories, it is easy to feel concern for the well-being for migrants and refugees. Their stories are each unique, but just as our ancestors once did, they generally come in search of a better and safer life for their families. It is often pointed out that immigrants who settle in the United States make an important contribution to the U.S. economy. They fill necessary position in many sectors. They are statistically less likely to commit crimes, but more likely to suffer them. The current global health and economic crisis has severely affected the lives of many who live away from their own homes. Jesus blessing of those who welcome the stranger as a Corporal Work of Mercy is as striking now as ever. Psalms and Old Testament Study Monday Mornings I have rekindled my passion for Old Testament study during these unusual six months. So, I am eager to share some fruit of that and to hear your reflections. We will gather 8:15-9am (after the 7:30am mass) at Seven Dolors and spread out in the gym. The study will take place each Monday. There is no reason to worry if you can only come a few times, or if you need to skip a session, because it will not be a systematic study. I will warmly welcome anyone who happens to come on a particular Monday morning. I will choose the Psalm or Old Testament reading from the ensuing Sunday and give a 15-20-minute explanation of the text. How it relates to overall themes of the Old Testament, and how it enlightens our understanding of Jesus Christ. After that explanation we will have opportunity for individuals to share reflections or ask questions. All are welcome, from any parish! Bring your bible!!
