The author of Wisdom speaks of “that Night”
of exodus from bondage in Egypt when the Lord
delivered his chosen people from death. The Lord
will come again, perhaps in the midst of night.
Let us be prepared for his return.
As we walk in darkness, our journey to our heavenly
homeland is illumined by faith.

If you would like to add someone to the Sick List in the Bulletin, contact the Parish office
at (770) 487-7672. The name will be published in the bulletin for 6 weeks. You may call at
anytime and have the name removed. Ongoing illnesses and special intentions may be placed
in the Prayer Intention book located in the back of the church.
With the growing concern for people's privacy it becomes increasingly
more and more difficult to know if our parishioners are sick, in the
hospital or even in Hospice care. If you know of someone or if
you would like for us to visit someone, please contact Deacon Mark
Sholander at (678) 466-1708 or [email protected].
CRHP Alumni, have you been missing your CRHP e-mail bulletins? We are trying to update the CRHP email roster. If you have not

soon!
August Healing Masses
Tuesday, August 9, 6:30pm and Friday, August 12, 12pm.
The Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick will be available during this
Mass for every baptized Catholic over the age of reason. Prayer teams
will also be available immediately after Mass to pray with people for
healing and other needs.
Anointing of the sick primarily is for spiritual healing. Physical healing might occur,
but it is not the main purpose of the sacrament. Certainly the sacrament should not be
expected to automatically cure the sick person. Such an expectation tends toward superstition (cf. CC2111). Baptized children below the age of reason cannot commit personal
sin and so do not need anointing of the sick if they are in danger of death.
Rather,
when in danger of death, such children can be given confirmation, for spiritual strengthening and more fully to initiate them into the Christian religion.
Thanks for your generosity!

Thoughts From this Sunday’s Readings by Fr. John
Previous reflections can be found on his blog at

When Robert Baden-Powell founded the Scout Movement in
1907, he selected "Be Prepared" as the Scout motto. He said,
"BE PREPARED ... means you are always in a state of readiness
in mind and body to do your DUTY." In today's gospel, Luke
12:32-48, Jesus advises the disciples and us that we are to prepare
ourselves for life in the kingdom. Like Baden-Powell's ideal
scout, Jesus expects us to be in a "state of readiness in mind and
body" so we can enter the kingdom whenever the call comes.

fine homes, amassing wealth for financial security or gathering
material possessions. In fact, Jesus expects the opposite. He tells

After all this, we watch and we wait. However, we do not wait in
idleness. We all have jobs to do and God expects us to do our
jobs to the best of our abilities. We must be vigilant, obedient
and faithful. Finally we must be ready to give an account of ourselves to God at all times because "at an hour you do not expect,
the Son of Man will come” (Luke 12:40).
Lord God, unseen and yet the ground
of all reality, of all that counts,
we seek security and certainty,
something we can see and hold on to.
Truly be our God in whom we trust:
Help us to serve you faithfully in the present
and to be ready to follow you in the future.
Keep us alert for the coming of the Son of Man
on a day we cannot know
and at an hour we do not expect.
We ask this through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.

Severus starts to pursue the family across the desert. As Mary and
Joseph worry about his safety, Jesus' natural curiosity allows him to

Reflexiones sobre las lecturas de este domingo del Padre Rico.
7 de Agosto del 2016
Decimonoveno Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario
La Noche es Tiempo de Salvación. La primera lectura de hoy y el
evangelio tienen en común la hora: ambas se refieren a la noche.
Y en ambas casos la noche es ambivalente, por decirlo así. En la
lectura de la sabiduría, porque se habla de la noche de la Pascua de
los hebreos en Egipto, que fue victoria y gozo para el pueblo de
Dios, pero luto y derrota para la nación opresora. En el texto de
Lucas, en cambio, la ambivalencia de la noche viene de lo que
puede suceder en esas horas: el que duerme puede ser robado
y desposeído, pero el que está atento y obediente no se quedará
sin su buena recompensa. "la noche es tiempo de salvación." A lo
largo de las estrofas se recordaban distintos acontecimientos bíblicos maravillosos que han sucedido todos de noche, incluyendo por
supuesto la liberación de Egipto, pero llevando el acento finalmente a la gran noche, la noche de la Pascua nuestra, cuando Cristo
venció a la muerte.
Esa lista nutrida de hechos salvadores acontecidos en la noche es
como la base para otra lista más abundante de imágenes y comparaciones que los autores espirituales han utilizado tomando siempre como base a la noche. Es sobre todo San Juan de la Cruz quien
nos ilustra en esta materia con sus profundas enseñanzas sobre las
"noches" del alma y del espíritu. La idea fundamental es que la fe
no es todavía la luz completa, que sólo contemplaremos más allá
del umbral de la muerte. Y sin embargo, la fe sí es nuestra guía y
para aprender a vivir de fe hay que superar más de una "noche."
Vigilancia y Diligencia. El tema de la noche va unido muy naturalmente con el de la "vigilia," de donde obviamente viene el
"vigilar." En su sentido original, este "tener cuidado" significaba
simplemente estar en "vigilia," es decir, permanecer despierto
aunque todos duerman. Es una buena imagen de lo que es un cristiano: alguien que está despierto. "Dormir" equivale a dejarse
llevar, por ejemplo, por los valores y solicitaciones del mundo;
"estar despierto" significa entonces ver y hacer ver los engaños
propios de las tinieblas. Lo mismo que en su dimensión corporal,
esto de "estar despiertos" cuesta trabajo, porque lo más fácil es
dejarse arrastrar por la corriente.
Vigilamos cuando sabemos que un mal puede venirnos pero
también cuando aguardamos con amor a alguien. Las dos cosas son
necesarias y son recomendados por Cristo, Nuestro Señor. Tenemos que vigilar para que ningún ladrón nos robe pero también vigilamos porque sabemos que nuestro Amo y Señor viene. Su retorno
nos invita a utilizar el tiempo con sobriedad y con esperanza.
La sobriedad es la actitud de quien sabe que hay un "después."
Quien va a conducir el automóvil después de una fiesta se esfuerza
y controla porque sabe que su sobriedad es requerida para guiar sin
riesgos en la noche. La esperanza mira también al futuro, no sólo
por evitar sus males sino por gozar de sus bienes. Sobrios y llenos
de esperanza, una esperanza activa: así nos quiere Dios, así quiere
que vivamos en esta tierra como preludio de su Cielo. Amén.

Every time I think "I just don't have the time to go to the abortion
clinic this week", I remember this one young woman I spoke with
last fall. She was leaving the clinic shortly after we arrived one
Thursday, she was alone, and she stopped her car as she was about
to pull out of the driveway. She rolled down her window and with
tears running down her face she said, " If you were here when I
came last week, I never would have done it." I always seem to be
able to find that extra time I didn't think I had. Thanks Be To God!

Adult Faith Formation: Building on the Rock - Luke 6:47-49
Every one who comes to me and hears my words and does them, I will show you what he is like: he is like a man building a
house, who dug deep, and laid the foundation upon rock; and when a flood arose, the stream broke against that house,
and could not shake it, because it had been well built. But he who hears and does not do them is like a man who built a
house on the ground without a foundation; against which the stream broke,
and immediately it fell, and the ruin of that house was great.”

Bible Study - 8 Weeks
Follow Me: Meeting Jesus in the Gospel of John
Sundays 4:00-6:00 PM or
Wednesdays 10:00-12:00 PM
Begins September 11 & 14
Experience the Joy of Following Christ
Following Christ takes more than simply believing in him or
doing what he asks of us. Jesus wants you to be more than
just a believer — He wants you to be his disciple and
friend. Follow Me: Meeting Jesus in the Gospel of John is your
guide to a personal encounter with Christ. As the Good Shepherd, Jesus seeks after us. He comes to meet us and beckons
us to follow him. He calls us to be his disciples, to trust him,
to open ourselves to his merciful love, and to love others as
he has loved us. Follow Me invites you to experience the joy
of a renewed friendship with Christ. You will:
 Learn what it takes to follow Christ.
 Discover the joy of divine friendship.
 See how God, and only God, can satisfy the deepest
desires of your heart.
