17th Sunday in Ordinary Time
There is a certain fast-food company that sells hamburgers.
In their advertising, they claim that their product has
the ability to satisfy our cravings. In fact, several television
ads depict their hamburger calling people up on the
phone, ostensibly getting them to stop whatever it is they
are doing to satisfy their craving. Nothing can resist them!
Is this company creative? Perhaps; but a better question
might be, is their product fulfilling? For a brief period our
hunger is satisfied, but as with all urges and cravings,
they soon return.
Today's Gospel reading is the only miracle story told in
all four Gospels, the feeding of the five thousand. It is
theorized by some that one aspect of the miracle was
Jesus' belief in our ability to share. As the baskets of fish
and bread were passed, the people took what they needed
but shared some of what they had, as well. But the greater
symbolism to take away from today's reading is that Jesus
Christ, the bread of life, removes all hunger and all needs
and continues to nourish us forever. All that we crave
truly resides in the loving arms of the Son of God.
According to the Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC
2002), God has placed in all of us a longing for truth and
goodness that only he can satisfy. "God immediately
touches and directly moves the heart of man." The five
thousand people had finally arrived at their destination,
seeking to have their souls fed through the teachings of
Jesus. And just as he instructed them to lie down in the
grass, rest and be fed, so too are we to take this and every
Sunday as an opportunity to rest, reflect, and be nourished
by the Word of God.

Fr. Peter is battling a round of
infections. Unfortunately without regular exercise and a
healthy appetite he is prone to infections. We are exploring
ways to boost his nutrition, therefore helping his overall
health. Please keep him in your prayers.
The Soup Kitchen Bucket will
be in the lobby this weekend. Proceeds
are used to buy food to serve the homeless
at the Shalom Center.
School News I just saw the best little
hole in the wall! It's at Saint Peter Church
and School! The dramatic effect hit me as I
stood and looked through. The worship
space, the narthex, and the church hall
were all unified as I caught a glimpse of each one through
the hole in the wall. How simple, yet powerful, was that
vision!
I've just returned from our annual family pilgrimage to
South Carolina. My friends laugh when I call it a pilgrimage.
They consider eighteen hours in a car with 4 girls
more of a penance! I disagree. I learn so much about their
hopes and dreams. I do a lot of listening- I claim it's because
I need to concentrate on the road. I listen, though,
because it pushes them to facilitate and keep the conversation
going. I'm sure if I lead the discussion, I'd never
find out that my ten year old takes delight in the food
channel because she wants to have a cooking show. I
think sometimes we reject the notion of simply listening
because we are afraid others won't talk or will steer the
conversation in a direction we don't want it to go. I'm a
terrible cook. I'd much prefer if she would just play basketball-
that I can help her with. But just seeing the sparkle
in her eyes as she taught Max, the family dog, how to
make Kool-Aid last night was precious! To cooking
school we go! Now, if only she could teach Max to brew
coffee.....
Inspire. Challenge. Engage.

Outdoor Mass Our first “Liturgy on the Green”
was beautiful. Thanks to everyone who helped made this
event happen:
♦ The parish men & Boy Scouts who 2 years ago
started to clean up the area
♦ The Loewens who transported fill dirt and leveled the
area last summer
♦ Randy’s Landscaping who planted, watered and
fertilized the grass
♦ Dennis and Ernest, our maintenance personnel who
have cared for the lawn
♦ St. Peter parishioners whose stewardship support
financed the reclamation of the area
♦ Our Prayer and Worship Committee who did the
behind the scenes work to put it altogether
♦ Those who attended and offered fitting worship to
God
Join us at our next outdoor mass on August 16 at 9:30 am,
under the beautiful tall trees in the newly cleared area
across the road from the rectory. Please bring your lawn
chair.
