O Lord Jesus Christ, Who didst take to Thyself a body and soul like ours, to teach us the glory of self-sacrifice and service, mercifully deign to instill in other hearts the desire to dedicate their lives to Thee. Give us PRIESTS to stand before Thine Altar and to preach the words of Thy Gospel; BROTHERS to assist the priests and to reproduce in themselves Thy humility; SISTERS to teach the young and nurse the sick and to minister Thy charity to all; LAY PEOPLE to imitate Thee in their homes and families. Amen. (7 years indulgence each time recited; a plenary indulgence if recited daily for an entire month.)
August Queen of Heaven, Sovereign Mistress of the Angels, who didst receive from the beginning the mission and the power to crush the serpent's head, we beseech thee to send thy holy angels, that under thy command and by the power they may purse the evil spirits, encounter them on every side, resist their bold attacks, and drive them hence into the abyss of woe. Most holy Mother, send thy angels to defend us and to drive the cruel enemy from us. All ye holy angels and archangels, help and defend us. Amen. Oh good and tender Mother! Thou shalt ever be our Love and our Hope. Holy Angels and Archangels, keep and defend us. Amen.

THE NECESSITY OF MEDITATION AND MENTAL PRAYER
St. Alphonsus Liguori, Bishop and Doctor of the Church, who is considered the preeminent teacher on the necessity of prayer declares, “It is morally impossible for him who neglects meditation to live without sin” (p.257, The Great Means of Salvation and Perfection, Redemptionist Fathers: Brooklyn, NY, 1972). On the previous page he quotes St. Teresa of Avila: “He who neglects mental prayer needs not a devil to carry him to hell, but he brings himself there with his own hands.”
A Suggested Format for Meditation and Mental Prayer
(take 15 minutes a day, preferably in the morning to do this)
Predispositions for Mental Prayer:
1. deep desire to pray
2. firm resolution to never make excuses for limiting mental prayer
The Method:
1. Preparation
a. Recall the Prsence of God
b. Make act of humility and confidence
c. Petition for help
2. Body of Meditation
a. Consideration (usually a reading)
b. Affectons (acts of faith, hope, love, contrition,longing for God, etc.)
c. Make a resolution
3. Conclusion
a. Petition for help
b. Thanksgiving
c. Oblation (make an offering of yourself to God)
“I place myself before God and say to HIm: ‘Here I am, O Lord, give me what You will.’ If He gives me anything, I am very pleased and give Him thanks. But if He gives me nothing, I thank Him just the same, for I am not deserving of anything. Then again I tell Him all the matters which pass through my mind...and I listen.” (St. Catherine Laboure’s method of meditation)
*SECOND COLLECTION - next Sunday for the suppport of Fr. Alexander Kryssov's parish in Moscow, Russia - a tangible way to help in the conversion of Russia!
*FR. CASIMIR AWAY - Father will be on Mass circuit in Idaho, Utah and Colorado this week and then will go to Omaha for the priests' meeting July 19-23. He will be back on July 25th. If you need to contact him, call his cell.
*LONG RANGE PLANNING COMMITTEE - If there is anyone in the parish who is interested in serving on the LRPC, there are two seats available. Please contact John Netzel and 953.0816 if you are interested. The next meeting will be Thurs, July 15th at 7 pm in the dining room. Anyone interested in serving on the committee should attend.
*STORM WINDOW WORK PARTY - There will be a BIG work party on Sat, Jul 17th at 7:30 am. PLEASE, we are asking that as many people as possible come to work on the window preparations. We will be assisted by 25 to 30 volunteers from the Spokane Preservation Advocates. They are giving their time to come help Mt. St. Michael. Let's show our appreciation and support by coming to the work party. Please call John Netzel at 953.0816 or email at: jamnetzel @ q.com if you have any questions or wish to volunteer. The party will begin at 7:30 am and end at 1:00 pm with lunch provided.
DOWNTOWN FATIMA ROSARY MARCH - On the 13th of each month, from May to September we have a Rosary March beginning at the corner of Mallon and Howard, at 6:30 pm. All are invited to take part in this powerful prayer and important witness to Faith. Please dress appropriately to this religious event, i.e. women and girls, please wear dresses; men and boys, no shorts.
*SAVE THE DATE! - The 50th Annual Fatima Conference is scheduled for Oct 6-10. Flyers are available in the vestibule.
*UNIFORM SHOP - Summer hours for the school uniform shop will be: open on Jul 22 & 27 from 9 am - 1 pm. Please feel free to call for appointment at 467.0986, x109. Thank you.
*CATHOLIC ACTION COMMITTEE - “Evil prospers because good people do nothing,” said Edmund Burke. Help promote morality in society by your individual involvement in the political process. James Madison said in the Federalist Papers No. 51 that if men were angels, no government would be necessary and if angels were our governors, no Constitiution IS necessary. However, our public officials are proving to us the very reason this is so. Hold them accountable to the oath they swore to uphold the Constitution! Be a part of “We the people.” Call Mr. Bob Tarnowski at 464.2332 or Mrs. Clara House at 926.3470.
ST. ISIDORE'S GARDEN - Another reinforcement for what we are trying to accomplish by having a garden: a local school district has its own garden! According to a KHQ.com report from last March, E.Valley School district is beginning to grow its own vegetables for its school lunch progrm. Read the article online.
