Because of your repose to a plea for help from our neighboring parish, Immaculate Conception in Sealy, St. Bartholomew was able to provide financial assistance to the flood victims in Sealy as well as a truck load of groceries and three truckloads of baby items including diapers, baby wash and clothing. Special thanks goes to Gabriel Project and St. Vincent de Paul volunteers. Below is a letter of thanks received from Rev. Eric Pitre, Pastor of Immaculate Conception. ———————————————————————————————————————————Dear Fr. Wayne and all the Parishioners at St. Bartholomew’s: On behalf of the families in Austin County that have suffered such devastating losses during the recent flooding, we send our heartfelt thanks to you for your generous donations. Some families have suffered the greatest loss — that of the lives of loved ones. Others have lost their homes and vehicles, their pets, and their livestock. The stories that we have heard are staggering and serve as reminders to us that each day is indeed a gift and that as Mother Teresa said, “in this life we cannot do great things. We can only do small things with great love.” As stewards of these funds, the members of our staff that are assisting flood victims are interviewing each person, assessing their individual needs and dispersing funds as fairly as possible. The donations you made will certainly go a long way in helping families rebuild their lives. Your in Christ Rev. Eric J. Pitre Pastor WHO HAS BEEN A HERO OF RELIGIOUS LIBERTY IN THE CHURCH? Saint Thomas More: Thomas More was an English Catholic lawyer who served as Lord Chancellor and a close advisor to King Henry VIII. More opposed the king’s separation from the Catholic Church and his naming himself as Supreme Head of the Church of England. More was imprisoned for his refusal to take the oath required by a law that disparaged papal power and required acknowledging the children of Henry and Anne Boleyn (the king’s second wife after his divorce from Catherine of Aragon) as legitimate heirs to the throne. In 1535, More was tried for treason, convicted on perjured testimony, and beheaded. He is the patron saint of religious freedom.

DIVINE MERCY DEVOTION Holy Hour is observed every Friday from 3:00-4:00 p.m. in the Church, including intercessory Prayer, Divine Mercy Chaplet, Stations of the Cross, Consecration Prayer, and a Rosary. Divine Mercy is prayed every day at 3:00 pm the chapel silently. “Your task is to write down everything that I make known to you about My mercy for the benefit of those who by reading these things will be comforted in their souls and will have the courage to approach Me.” (Diary, 1693) From the Diary of St. Faustina Open Your Heart Tell souls not to place within their own hearts obstacles to My mercy, which so greatly wants to act within them. My mercy works in all those hearts which open their doors to it. Both the sinner and the righteous person have need of My mercy. Conversion, as well as perseverance, is a grace of My mercy. (Diary #1577) For more information on the Divine Mercy Devotions, please contact Maria Beck at 832-618-0726. Mass Intention Requests Intentions are available on a first come first served basis. Please come to the office and complete a request form. Sorry, no intentions can be accepted over the phone. An offering of $5 is requested for the priest celebrating the Mass.

Her doctor and parents agreed that she should work with a speechlanguage pathologist to correct this difficulty. There were times during the sessions when it was frustrating, not being able to form her mouth or move her tongue the right way to make sounds which came so easily for everyone else. There were also those rare, joyful moments when suddenly she was able to speak more clearly and pronounce the word exactly as she had intended. After several years, the speech difficulties were corrected, the sessions came to an end, and the girl continued on with her life. That little girl was me. When I look back at those years, I remember the speech therapist as a woman who tirelessly encouraged me to try again and again as I worked to overcome my difficulties. I no longer remember her name, but she is one of those special teachers I will always remember from my early childhood. I wonder how many other young children benefited from her gentle reassurance and guidance. Today, it is easy for me to take for granted what I can do with my incredible power of speech. We live in a world which takes delight in wit, quick "comebacks," and clever wordplay in political discourse, entertainment, and, of course, in everyday conversation. It is easy to forget the power of words to either tear down or to affirm others, and even easier to take for granted the ability to speak at all. A culture that respects life seeks to accompany others in various life circumstances, reminding them of their worth and dignity, which cannot be taken away. When we encounter fragility and brokenness, especially in those who are struggling or suffering in some way, we each have the capacity to guide others to the light of God's love through our attentiveness and tender encouragement-especially through our words. It is in concrete circumstances that we can each be a ray of light to another, reflecting back his or her dignity through the words we choose. The person may be facing a terminal illness, wondering whether life is worth living; living with a disability and questioning her value; or struggling with depression, lacking the hope to continue on. God has a purpose for every life he creates, and it is amazing to know that each one of us has been loved from all eternity. We have each been created with a tremendous capacity to love. Let us be attentive to the daily opportunities to speak to others of their sacredness in God's eyes. How much are we willing to gently guide otherssometimes out of very dark places-closer to the light of God's love? However brief the encounter, you never know how much your loving, affirming words can positively impact one life. ~~~ Kimberly Baker is Programs and Projects Coordinator for the Secretariat of Pro-Life Activities, U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops. 7 June 19 , 2016 Social Activities / Adult Formation HAPPY HEARTS FOR THOSE AGE 55+ Contact: Chic Saenz, 713-906-1009 or Carol Morris, 281-347-8816.

POLITICS AND ECONOMY IN DIALOGUE FOR HUMAN FULFILLMENT 191. We need to grow in the conviction that a decrease in the pace of production and consumption can at times give rise to another form of progress. Efforts to promote a sustainable use of natural resources are an investment capable of providing other economic benefits. If we look at the larger picture, forms of production that impact less on the environment can prove profitable. It is a matter of openness to different possibilities, directing energy along new channels. 192. A path of productive development could generate intelligent and profitable ways of reusing, revamping and recycling while also improving the energy efficiency of cities. Productive diversification offers the fullest possibilities to create and innovate, while protecting the environment and creating more employment. Such creativity would be a worthy expression of our most noble human qualities. To find ever new ways of despoiling nature, purely for the sake of new consumer items and quick profit, would be less worthy and creative and more superficial. 193. We need also to think of containing growth by setting some reasonable limits and even retracing our steps before it is too late. The time has come to accept decreased growth in some parts of the world in order to provide resources for other places to experience healthy growth. Benedict XVI said that technologically advanced societies must be prepared to encourage soberer lifestyles. 194. It is not enough to balance the protection of nature with financial gain, or the preservation of the environment with progress. Halfway measures simply delay the inevitable disaster. It is a matter of redefining our notion of progress. Development that does not leave in its wake a better world and an integrally higher quality of life cannot be considered progress. Talk of sustainable growth usually becomes a way of distracting attention and offering excuses. Social and environmental responsibility of businesses often is reduced to a series of marketing and image-enhancing measures. 195. The principle of maximization of profits reflects a misunderstanding of the very concept of the economy. As long as production is increased, little concern is given to whether it is at the cost of future resources or the health of the environment. Only when the economic and social costs of using up shared environmental resources are recognized with transparency, can those actions be considered ethical. An instrumental way of reasoning is at work whether resources are allocated by the market or by state central planning.

La semana pasada comenzamos el largo tramo del Tiempo Ordinario que nos llevará hasta el final de noviembre. San Pablo nos dice hoy que los que han sido bautizados “se han revestido de Cristo” (Gálatas 3:27). Este mensaje es inspirador y al mismo tiempo nos alecciona, ya que en el Evangelio de hoy, vamos al centro de lo que significa estar revestidos de Cristo. El Señor nos dice, “si alguno quiere acompañarme, que no se busque a sí mismo, que tome su cruz de cada día y me siga” (Lucas 9:23). Durante las veinte y dos semanas que siguen somos llamados a tomar la cruz y, con san Lucas como guía, seguir en los pasos a Cristo. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

Ellos se espantaron creyendo que era un fantasma de algún pescador pero él los calmó diciendo “¡Ánimo!, que soy yo; no teman”. Debió ser impactante ver al Señor caminar sobre las aguas, especialmente en una época donde las aguas venían consideradas como el caos. En varias partes de latino america los fieles celebran a distintos santos con procesiones de barcos sobre ríos o mares. En el Puerto de Paita, Perú se llevan a los santos Pedro y Pablo en una procesión acuática. San Pedro, que fue pescador, está en casa sobre la barca, ya que normalmente son barcas de pescadores las que forman la procesión. Esta procesión reconoce el caos del mar reconociendo a los pescadores, que durante el año perdieron sus vidas en el mar, con guirnaldas lanzadas a la bahía. Pero, esta procesión no se espanta del mar ya que es una fiesta en honor de dos siervos de aquel que camina sobre las aguas, dominando el mar. —Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, © Copyright, J. S.
