The Gift of Life
Lord,
Teach me not to hold on to life too tightly. Teach me to take it as a gift - to enjoy and cherish it while I have it, but to let go gracefully and thankfully when the time comes. The gift is great, but the giver is greater still. You are the giver and in You is a life that never ends.
Amen.

Natural Family Planning
This year, Natural Family Planning (NFP) Awareness Week is July 20-26. NFP is the general title for the scientific, natural and moral methods of family planning that can help married couples either achieve or postpone pregnancies.
Since the methods of NFP respect the love-giving (unitive) and life-giving (procreative) nature of the conjugal act, they support God's design for married love!
For more information, please email the parish's NFP Ministry Coordinators Jeff and Michelle Chardos.
