“Each day the people are to go out and gather their daily<br />
portion; thus will I test them, to see whether they follow my<br />
instructions or not.” (EXODUS 16:4)<br />
God frowns upon it when we take or keep more than we need.<br />
When the Israelites gathered more than their daily portion of<br />
manna, that which they hoarded away became wormy and<br />
rotten. In the same way, God calls us today to be content<br />
with a fair portion and to be willing to share the rest.<br />
Please pray for the repose of the soul of:<br />
+ Patricia McDonnell-Rath, mother of Chuck McDonnell<br />
+ Billy Dittmer, grandson of John & Rosemary <strong>St</strong>oll<br />
May her soul rest in our Lord’s eternal embrace.<br />

Eighteenth Sunday Ordinary Time Aug. 5, 2012<br />
2012 CATHOLIC WOMEN’S RECOGNITION CEREMONY: I have some very great news to announce.<br />
Our parishioner Vicki Houska has been chosen as one of several women in our Archdiocese<br />
to receive the Unconditional Commitment Award at the 2012 <strong>Catholic</strong> Women’s Recognition<br />
Ceremony next Sunday, August 12, 2:00 PM, at Holy Spirit Parish in Maryland Heights. As<br />
the letter announcing her selection states, she is being “honored among this year’s group of inspiring women who<br />
have answered God’s call to dedicate themselves to the care of another, women who continually place the needs<br />
of someone else before their own. The model for the Unconditional Commitment Award is (the Old Testament figure)<br />
Ruth.” These awards will be presented by Archbishop Carlson. Vicki was chosen by our Parish Council for<br />
this award because of her work with FAST (Foster Adoption Support Team) which assists families who either<br />
adopt children or who serve as foster parents for in-need children. Look for more information about this ceremony<br />
in this <strong>com</strong>ing Friday’s edition of The <strong>St</strong>. Louis Review. Vicki, congratulations! We are proud of you!<br />
THIS TUESDAY’S ELECTIONS: Please be sure to vote this <strong>com</strong>ing Tuesday. Not only is it a primary election in<br />
preparation for this November’s general election, but there are also choices to be made which have great significance.<br />
One item in particular up for a vote is Amendment 2, the Missouri prayer amendment. As the Missouri Family<br />
Policy Council stated in a recent email, “Voters throughout Missouri will be heading to the polls in a few weeks<br />
to vote on Amendment 2. This important proposal is the Missouri Prayer Amendment. It is the most significant<br />
statewide election ever held in the state of Missouri on the subject of religious freedom. The Missouri Prayer<br />
Amendment will amend Missouri's Constitution to protect the rights of Missouri citizens and schoolchildren to express<br />
and share their religious beliefs. The amendment will ensure that students in the public schools will be able<br />
to pray on a voluntary basis. The amendment provides that citizens can gather on public property to honor God<br />
and join in <strong>com</strong>munity prayer. The amendment guarantees that public officials can acknowledge God in public proceedings<br />
and that invocations can be offered before government meetings.” As stated in the July 13 th issue of The<br />
<strong>St</strong>. Louis Review, the Missouri <strong>Catholic</strong> Conference endorses the passage of this amendment.<br />
A FOND FAREWELL AND BEST WISHES to Father Don Henke who has been residing among us as well as<br />
helping out this Summer. Father Henke leaves this <strong>com</strong>ing Saturday for his assignment as a faculty member at the<br />
North American College in Rome. It is a three to five year <strong>com</strong>mitment, but don’t despair. Father Henke plans to<br />
spend his Christmases and summers with us while assigned there. If you’ll be in Rome, don't forget to look him up!<br />
LIGHTHOUSE CATHOLIC MEDIA: Please remember the Lighthouse <strong>Catholic</strong> Media audio CD being offered his<br />
month in our Gathering Space. Jeff Cavins is a most interesting speaker, and, when you have listened to his CD,<br />
please give it to someone else who will benefit from listening to it as well. What a nice, simple, unintimidating way<br />
to evangelize someone!<br />
A RECENTLY RECEIVED EMAIL that I thought you’d like to read; it’s entitled simply “Whispers.”<br />
The man whispered, 'God, speak to me' and a meadowlark sang. But, the man did not hear. So the man<br />
yelled, 'God, speak to me' and the thunder rolled across the sky. But, the man did not listen. The man<br />
looked around and said, 'God let me see you.' And a star shined brightly. But the man did not see. And,<br />
the man shouted, 'God show me a miracle.' And, a life was born. But, the man did not notice. So, the man<br />
cried out in despair, 'Touch me God, and let me know you are here.' Whereupon, God reached down and<br />
touched the man. But, the man brushed the butterfly away and walked on. I found this to be a great reminder<br />
that God is always around us in the little and simple things that we take for granted...even in our<br />
electronic age. So I would like to add one more: The man cried, 'God, I need your help!' And an e-mail arrived<br />
reaching out with good news and encouragement. But, the man deleted it and continued crying.<br />
Don't miss out on a blessing because it isn't packaged the way that you expect.<br />
How true! Our God does speak in whispers, but so often we have so much “white noise” (white noise is that distracting<br />
static sound you hear when TV or radio station is not perfectly <strong>com</strong>ing in) going on around us every day<br />
that we don’t even notice the presence of God in our lives, but again remember that God’s presence is like the air,<br />
that, is, even though we feel it, smell it, hear it, touch it, taste it or even realize that it is present, the air is always<br />
with us, and, without it, we die. So too with God’s love; even though we may not feel it, smell it, hear it, touch it,<br />
taste it or even realize that it is present, God’s love is always with us, and, without it too, we die.<br />
THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL here at <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Cletus</strong> is this <strong>com</strong>ing Wednesday. That being so, I thought you would<br />
appreciate the following prayer. Please use it with your families, and feel free to pass it along:<br />
Father, we thank you for the opportunity to begin this new school year, and we ask that you bless the students,<br />
faculty, and student families that make our school a great place. We pray that you will guide us in<br />
all ways, so that we will seek your will in everything that we do. We ask this in the name of Jesus Christ<br />
our Lord. Amen.
Eighteenth Sunday Ordinary Time Aug. 5, 2012<br />
The Gospel tells us "This is my beloved<br />
Son. Listen to Him." By "listening' we are<br />
able to live the Gospel. Gospel living is<br />
something so simple as taking the time to<br />
listen to those who need to spill out their<br />
hearts when seeking help.<br />
Through your gift to the Society of <strong>St</strong>. Vincent de Paul<br />
your heart be<strong>com</strong>es a "listening heart" to the hungry,<br />
the homeless and the struggling poor.<br />

at 2:00 PM on Sunday, August 26th. You will <strong>com</strong>e<br />

Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., in his Letter from a Birmingham<br />
Jail, cited <strong>St</strong>. Augustine that “an unjust law is<br />
no law at all.” And he asked, “How does one determine<br />
when a law is just or unjust? A just law is a man-made<br />
code that squares with the moral law or the law of God.<br />
An unjust law is a code that is out of harmony with the<br />
moral law.” He then went on to say, “To put it in the<br />
terms of <strong>St</strong>. Thomas Aquinas, an unjust law is a human<br />
law that is not rooted in eternal and natural law.” There<br />
you have the ancient teaching of the <strong>Catholic</strong> <strong>Church</strong><br />
summed up by a Baptist preacher under arrest for living<br />
by it.<br />
Article by Supreme Knight Carl A. Anderson,<br />

Eucharistic Adoration<br />
The essence of our call to conversion continues<br />
to be reflected in the words which<br />
God spoke to his people of old through<br />
Moses: "Be holy, for I, the LORD your<br />
God, am holy" (Lev 19:2). And in his encyclical<br />
letter on the Eucharist issued in<br />
1965 and entitled, Mystery of Faith, Paul VI said that<br />
"The most efficacious way of growing in holiness is<br />
time spent with Jesus in the Most Blessed Sacrament."<br />
The fruit of this belief has been attested by<br />
many in recent times through the practice of opening<br />
chapels of adoration in parishes so that ordinary, <strong>com</strong>mon<br />
folks can spend at least an hour a week (a "holy<br />
hour") before the Eucharistic presence of Our Lord. All<br />
our wel<strong>com</strong>e anytime! If you can help with one of the<br />
following hours: Tuesday @ 3am, Wednesday 11pm,<br />
Thursday @ 1am. Please call Jennifer @ 940-9858 or<br />
Jan @ 947-4654.<br />
Thank you so much!<br />

gospel. In partnership with the university parish and/<br />
