(St.

Augustine Church, Barberton, OH) (August 19, 2012)

Twentieth Sunday in Ordinary Time

In todays gospel Jesus teaches us that only by eating His flesh and drinking His blood will we live. Parents are called to similar sacrifice. If you feel that your children are consuming your every minute, realize that this is the sacred vocation of parents ---to give their lives to their children so that they may live. Parenting is not part-time, it is a total commitment. (Insert graphic 1106-0086)

We have adorers who are doing double duty to cover hours. Please help before it is too late. Let us not tell Jesus that we are too busy.
