early during pregnancy or adoption.
Anointing of the
Sick: Please call the Parish Office during
serious illness or before surgery.
Shut-Ins: If you know anyone who cannot come to Church, please let the

Assumption-Florian Parish Bulletin, August
17, 2025
Do you think I have come to give you peace
on Earth? No, I tell you, but rather division. LUKE 12:51 Many of us like to
play it safe, not cause waves with our family and friends, especially when it
comes to politics and religion. We dont want to cause any turmoil. However,
many times this is at the expense of the truth. The truth being Jesus Christ.
Too many people are misguided because they rely on their own limited human
ability to reason and are not allowing faith in God to guide them. Form your
conscience; take a stance for life, marriage, and religious liberty.

Mass Intention: For the Tri-Parish Communities
Lector: Julian
Stusynski Rosary: Phil & Heather Rogus
Eucharistic Minister: David Pietruszewski & Julian
Stusynski Altar Servers: Afton, Cale & Rhett Pearson
I came to bring fire to the earth, and how
I wish it were already kindled! I have a baptism with which to be baptized, and
what stress I am under until it is completed! Do you think that I have come to
bring peace to the earth? No, I tell you, but rather division! (Luke 12:49-51)
Ponder: What
is my purpose?
Prayer: Lord,
you send us your Spirit to renew the face of the earth. Filled with your love,
help me make a difference.
Practice: Today I will be faithful by being true to my heart.

Responsorial
Psalm: Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.
Mass
Intention: For Angie Adamski by Floyd Blazejewski
The kingdom of heaven may be compared to a
king who gave a wedding banquet for his son. He sent his slaves to call those
who had been invited to the wedding banquet, but they would not come. (Matthew
22:2-3)
Ponder: How
do I respond to Gods invitation of friendship?
Prayer: Lord,
you invite us to be with you in the kingdom of heaven. Open my heart to accept
your offer of forgiveness and peace.
Practice: Today I will be faithful by reexamining my relationship
with God.

Do Something
Beautiful for God The Essential Teachings of Mother Teresa
August 15 Don't come to prayer looking for extraordinary experiences.
Come to visit your great friend Jesus, always present and waiting for you in
the tabernacle. This is the friendship that strengthens us to fulfill our
day-to-day ordinary duties with extraordinary love and devotion.
August 16 If you are successful, you will win some false friends and
true enemies: Succeed anyway.
August 17 Stay where you are. Find your own Calcutta. Find the sick,
the suffering, and the lonely right where you are-in your own homes and in your
own families, in your workplaces and in your schools.
August 18 It is much easier to conquer a country than to conquer
ourselves. Every act of disobedience weakens my spiritual life. It is like a
wound letting out every drop of ones blood. Nothing can cause havoc in our
spiritual life as quickly as disobedience.
August 19 Let us insist more and more on raising funds of love, of
kindness, of understanding, of peace. Money will come. If we seek first the
Kingdom of God-the rest will be given.
August 20 We too are called to withdraw at certain intervals into
deeper silence and aloneness with God, together as a community as well as
personally. To be alone with Him-not with our books, thoughts, and memories but
completely stripped of everything-to dwell lovingly in His presence. Silent,
empty, expectant, and motionless. We cannot find God in noise or agitation.
August 21 Mother, how can you remain so joyful surrounded by all this
suffering and aware that so many are indifferent? The question always makes me
smile. Jesus is the source of my joy, not anything in this world. I go to
prayer, every day, so He can fill me with His joy. When I am weary and
discouraged, I go and sit with Jesus. He invited us to do that. Come to me,
all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon
you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble of heart, and you will find
rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.
