Daily Mass, St. Bonaventure, Bishop and Doctor of the Church, Saturday, July 15, 2023 Good morning! Welcome to St. Gilbert Church! Grant we pray almighty God, that just as we celebrate the heavenly birthday of the Bishop St. Bonaventure, we may benefit from his great learning and constantly imitate the ardor of his charity. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God forever and ever. Amen. \ Quote of the Day "If you learn everything except Christ, you learn nothing. If you learn nothing except Christ, you learn everything." –St. Bonaventure ----- Excerpt from Morning Offring, The Catholic Company, July15, 2023 Peace I Leave You Reflect “Peace I leave you, my peace I give to you,” Jesus tells the apostles. Some days are so hectic and stressful that there is no peace. But then I hear Jesus’ voice, and I know that with him, peace is possible. Pray Dear Jesus, I long to feel the peace you offered to the apostles in that upper room. They felt alone and frightened, maybe even betrayed by your death. But then you appear, and their hearts are soothed. I don’t need to touch the wounds in your hands or put my fingers into your side. I simply need you to come into the room of my heart and fill it with your peace. Act Use your imagination to come up with a simple symbol of peace. Draw it and place it throughout your home and/or workspace. You’ll see it throughout the day, and even if no one else knows what it means, you’ll still know it’s a reminder to rest in God’s peace. ---- From Franciscan Media, Pause+Pray, July 15, 2023 This stream is created with #PRISMLiveStudio
