the Welcome Center during normal business
hours or--if it's clearly marked Habitat for
Humanity--drop it in the Sunday collection basket
in Mass.

grateful hearts. We ask this through our Lord Jesus
Christ, Your son, who lives and reigns with You in
the Holy Spirit, one God forever and ever. Amen.

Papa Francisco: “No
perdamos la esperanza en
la santidad”
El Papa invita a los fieles a
"no tener miedo de ser
santos" ya que todos están "llamados a la santidad",
que no consiste, según ha explicado, en hacer cosas
extraordinarias, sino en dejar que Dios obre en la vida
de cada uno con su Espíritu y en confiar en su acción
que lleva a vivir en la caridad, a realizar todo con
alegría y humildad. "Déjense contagiar por la santidad
de Dios", sintetizó el papa.

Adult Ministry and Faith formation:
Because Our Faith is too rich and beautiful to have ever learned it ALL…
Contact Heidi Clark, Director of Adult Ministry, 281.333.3891, Ext. 328 or [email protected]
Adult faith formation at St. Paul the Apostle Catholic Church is centered around the understanding that living
“The Way” taught by Jesus Christ is a life-long, evolving journey, involving both effort and decision. To enable
adults to explore the faith and deepen their knowledge of God’s Word, we provide many opportunities to
come together in a learning environment. As a diverse community with a small parish feel, we know it is
important to walk that journey with others and to share what we have learned along the way.

Volume XVIII No. 1794
Fourteenth Sunday In Ordinary Time
July 5, 2015
Continued: 10 REASONS TO JOIN THE LEGION OF MARY: 6. To Make Friends: The Legion’s main purpose is the
holiness of the members. It improves our “vertical” relationship we have with God and the Blessed Mother, but it also enriches
the “horizontal” relationship of friends we gain as we live the Legion way of life.
7. As a Means of Tithing: In Scripture, tithing generally refers to the gift of ten percent of our finances to God. This principle
should be applied to our time and effort as well. The Legion provides a good jump-start on this by requiring that about four
hours each week be set aside, which is only two percent of our time. Scripture says that when you tithe, God’s blessing to you
will be far greater than your generosity to Him. Therefore, as we give time to our Lord and His Mother, they bless us in many
ways and we find even more time and more blessings in life. So we are encouraged to consider the tithing principle not only for
finances but also for time. The aim is to spend time serving God through Catholic living and the active apostolate.
8. Help You Face Judgment Day: What a great blessing it would be to hear Jesus say to us “Come, inherit the Kingdom
prepared for you from the foundation of the world, for when I was sick in the nursing home, you Legionaries visited Me. When
I was in prison, you came to see Me. When I was hungry for the Truth, you brought Me back to the Church. When I was thirsty
for love, you came and comforted Me.” The spiritual works of mercy – the Legion of Mary’s primary program of works, such as
encouraging people to come back to the sacraments, helping to get children baptized, making the Catholic Church known to
others – will be even more important than the corporal works of mercy (feeding the hungry, clothing the naked) because the
soul, unlike the body, is eternal and will last forever in either heaven or hell. 9. To Save Souls: This is what life on earth is all
about and it has its basis in the Letter of James, chapter 5, verse 19: “Brothers, if anyone among you should stray from the truth
and someone bring him back, he should know that who ever brings back a sinner from the error of his way will save his soul
from death and will cover a multitude of sins.” Therefore, if you help to bring back a fallen away Catholic, or bring a convert
into the Catholic religion – if you are God’s instrument to do that – the Bible says that you will cover a multitude of sins and
save your own soul from death as well. The Legion, with its program of works which includes the friendly encouraging of the
lapsed to live again their Catholic Faith ensures its members of this future blessing. 10. Masses will be Said for Your Soul:
At present, throughout the world, there are approximately 600,000 Legion groups and by rule, each group has a Mass said for all
deceased Legionaries in the month of November. So, you as a Legion of Mary member, after your death can be sure of having
six hundred thousand Masses celebrated for you. Imagine sitting in Purgatory and along comes November 1st, with six
hundred thousand Masses, being said for you. If you are not out of there soon, it’s through no fault of the Legion of Mary!
