I have set up our next Juliets Luncheon for Friday, September 7th at Ocean Seafood and Grill at 12:00 Noon.  Please let me know who will be attending.  I have called in a reservation for 18 already.  It is a BYOB and the food very good and reasonable.  This is always a favorite restaurant.  Hope to see all of you then.

 Welcome: Catholic Mass with coffee & juice & specials on the house served afterwards.

Time: 9:30; Celebrate with the Community & Stack.  Again, Welcome.

Place: Vines High School, 15th between Custer & Independence.

Cupcakes of The Week, Mike, John, Sir Charlie, Rick, and Michelle.

 Readings:

Jeremiah 1, 4-5, 17-19,  Before I formed you in the womb I knew you.

Psalm 71,  I will sing of your salvation.

1 Corinthians 13, 4-13, Love is patient, love is kind.

Luke 4, 21-30, No prophet is accepted in his own native place.

For those who don’t have a decent Bible or a book of the readings, here are two links that I use,

The Bible at Your Fingertips (http://st-luke-church.org/bible-at-finger-tips.php) and USCCB, The New American Bible (http://www.usccb.org/).  

The difference?  The first is Protestant more or less, and the second is officially Catholic and has the 12 little books in between the O.T. & N.T., called Deuterocanonical or Apocrypha. 

Both are good translations. 

Buying a bible?  The Jerusalem Bible.

True? 

No one imagines that a symphony is supposed to improve as it goes along, or that the whole object of playing is to reach the finale. The point of music is discovered in every moment of playing and listening to it. It is the same, I feel, with the greater part of our lives, and if we are unduly absorbed in improving them we may forget altogether to live them.

True?  

Although we have been made to believe that if we let go we will end up with nothing,
life reveals just the opposite: that letting go is the real path to freedom.
