He who does justice will live in the presence of the Lord (Psalm 15). Paul speaks of the stewardship given to him to complete the word of God, the mystery hidden from ages past (Colossians 1:24-28). Martha, you are anxious and worried about many things. Mary has chosen the better part (Luke 10:38-42). Readings for the Week Monday: Tuesday: Wednesday: Thursday: Friday: Saturday: Sunday: Mi 6:1-4, 6-8; Ps 50:5-6, 8-9, 16bc-17, 21, 23; Mt 12:38-42 Mi 7:14-15, 18-20; Ps 85:2-8; Mt 12:46-50 Jer 1:1, 4-10; Ps 71:1-4a, 5-6ab, 15, 17; Mt 13:1-9 Jer 2:1-3, 7-8, 12-13; Ps 26:6-7ab, 8-11; Mt 13:10-17 Jer 3:14-17; Ps 63:2-6, 8-9; Jn 20:1-2, 11-18 Jer 7:1-11; Ps 84:3-6a, 8a, 11; Mt 13:24-30 Gen 18:20-32; Ps 138:1-3, 6-8; Col 2:12-14; Lk 11:1-13 Saints and Special Observances Sunday: Monday: Wednesday: Thursday: Friday: Saturday: Sixteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time St. Camillus de Lellis St. Apollinaris St. Lawrence of Brindisi St. Mary Magdalene St. Bridget of Sweden; Blessed Virgin Mary Scripture Reflection Our posture is often a tip-off to our hospitality and reverence for the Lord. Note the actions of Abraham as he greeted the Lord in the presence of three men who appeared near his tent. He ran from the entrance of the tent to greet them. He bowed to the ground as he met them. He and Sarah, his wife, hastened to prepare a meal and bring food and water to their guests. In the Gospel story, Jesus’ friend Mary sat at his feet in order to listen to him speak. How do we welcome and reverence the Lord? What do our actions show? Do we remember the Lord’s presence in the Blessed Sacrament? How do we welcome the Lord in the scripture readings? How do we acknowledge his presence in our brothers and sisters, both at Mass and afterwards? Whether we kneel, stand, or sit in the Lord’s presence, may our hearts and minds always be attuned to him. Our Family Prayer Loving and faithful God, through the years the people of our archdiocese have appreciated the prayers and love of Our Lady of Prompt Succor in times of war, disaster, epidemic and illness. We come to you, Father, with Mary our Mother, and ask you to help us in the battle of today against violence, murder and racism. We implore you to give us your wisdom that we may build a community founded on the values of Jesus, which gives respect to the life and dignity of all people. Bless parents that they may form their children in faith. Bless and protect our youth that they may be peacemakers of our time. Give consolation to those who have lost loved ones through violence. Hear our prayer and give us the perseverance to be a voice for life and human dignity in our community. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Our Lady of Prompt Succor, hasten to help us. Mother Henriette Delille, pray for us that we may be a holy family. Amen.

St. Catherine of Siena Catholic Church Parish News Black and Indian Mission Collection Melancon Center Parking Lot This Black and Indian Mission Collection has, for the last 131 years, improved the landscape of evangelization and education efforts for Native Americans, Alaskan Americans and African Americans throughout the United States. Historically, evangelization efforts by Churches and schools among African Americans, Native Americans, Eskimo and Aleut communities, have been funded by the Collection’s grant awards, which are instrumental in the building of their Christian communities and sharing the joy of knowing Christ. Examples of the impact of the collection include educating African American and Native American seminarians for priestly service to our Catholic communities, establishing a new religious community for service to Native Americans in Arizona, and providing Indian and Black Catholic mission schools with catechetical materials and Bibles, and the formation of lay leadership. On July 16—17, the Archdiocese of New Orleans will take up the annual Black and Indian Mission Collection, which has a direct impact in our own archdiocese as we benefit locally from grants funded by the collection. Your generosity to this collection reflects the depths of your faith and your willingness to help our brothers and sisters in need; it is an opportunity to evangelize and further the missionary cause of bringing the Gospel to our African American and Native American family. Additional information about the work of the Black and Indian Mission Office can be found at http:/ / blackandindianmission.org. Some trees in the Melancon Center parking lot will be removed because their roots are clogging the drain lines and preventing the parking lot from draining. After the trees are removed, the drain lines will be cleaned, allowing the parking lot to drain properly. New trees that are more appropriate for the location will be planted once the drainage has been fixed. Construction Update Work has begun on the new gym ceiling and the new walkway in the parking lot. For the entire month of July, the gym will be unavailable for use due to construction. We apologize for any inconvenience. CYO News Our next Youthful Elder Meeting will be held on Thursday, July 21st in the Melancon Center at 1:00pm. Come and join us for an indoor picnic and bingo.

It only takes a moment of your time to make a huge difference in the course of our nation. Please ask your parish to take this simple step. There is not much time for our voices to be heard. The USCCB is asking us to take action. The Conscience Protection Act of 2016 (HR 4828) is currently in the House Energy and Commerce Committee. Quick action by this Committee is needed to move the bill to the floor for a vote in the coming weeks; otherwise the bill may not get a vote this year. This bill will protect health care providers from being forced to pay for or participate in abortions, and allow victims of discrimination a “right of action” to defend their rights in court. Please contact Rep. Steve Scalise of the House Energy & Commerce Committee to urge action on HR4828 using this simple link from Human Life Action. https:// www.humanlifeactioncenter.org/take-action?vvsrc=% 2fCampaigns%2f46692%2fRespoond%3fvvcgUT% 3dU2x9vkONU_QSrCPmJbleYQ%26vvcgRD% 3dBb48JqqUc62MbqK%26vvsbr%3d7yD5HNibeHxJwB1h7WI98A. It is imperative that we act as soon as possible...the House is on Independence Day recess until July 5, and they will recess again on July 18. Come to the Quiet—5 Day Silent Directed Retreat: July 21—July 27 This 5-day retreat is based on the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola. In addition to daily meetings with an assigned spiritual director, there will be ample time for rest, personal prayer and walks outdoors. There will be daily Mass and opportunity for the Sacrament of Reconciliation during your retreat. The main purpose of a Silent Directed Retreat is to help you hear the voice of God and deepen your relationship with Him. Through Scripture and reflection under the daily guidance of an experienced spiritual director, you will become more aware of His presence and action in your life in an atmosphere of silence and solitude.
