Reminder for Sunday, August 19, 2018, 20th, Ordinary Time

Genesis 18:  "Please, let not my Lord grow angry if I speak up this last time.  What if there are at least ten there?"  He replied, "For the sake of those ten, I will not destroy  it."

Colossians 2:  You were buried with him in baptism, in which you were also raised with him through faith in the power of God, who raised him from the dead.

Luke 11:  "And I tell you, ask and you will receive; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.

It is doubt, not certitude, that enables us to believe, because it requires us to think deeply about an entire subject.

The Monastic Way, Sister Joan Chittister

Dear Father Stack,

Thank you very much for being my sponsor for my LEGO Drive, as part of my Eagle Scout project.

Dear Stack Ministry,

Hello, my name is Anthony DeGenova.  I am 17 years old, and am working on my Boy Scouts Eagle Project.  My mission is to donate LEGO blocks to under-privileged children.  This project includes the collection, cleaning, sterilizing, sorting, packaging, and delivery of the LEGO blocks to a few charities that cater to children. I plan to donate all of mine, and would like very much to collect as many as possible from friends and neighbors like you, who wouldn’t mind giving theirs up for needy children.  I am accepting both used and new LEGO blocks. Please bring the LEGO blocks to church and my parents will pick them up.  Alternatively, I will gladly pick them up from your house, at your convenience. 

If you have any questions, please contact me at:

Telephone: 972-495-3639

Email Address:  anthonydegenova@outlook.com

I look forward to your support, and hope to make this drive and my Eagle project a success. Thank you very much for your help,

Anthony DeGenova

Ezekiel 33:  Thus says the LORD: You, son of man, I have appointed watchman for the house of Israel; when you hear me say anything, you shall warn them for me.
Romans 13:  Love does no evil to the neighbor; hence, love is the fulfillment of the law.
Matthew 18:  For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.

It can often be far more difficult to identify the real questions we face than it is to find spurious answers to the superficial ones.
