Assumption-Florian Parish Bulletin, June 28, 2026

"...whoever does not take up his cross and follow after me is not worthy of me." (Matthew 10:38) Pope Benedict XVI said "The world offers you comfort. But you were not made for comfort, you were made for greatness." "Comfort" put me first. "Picking up your cross and following Jesus" puts God and others first. Why settle for comfort when you can achieve greatness! Pick up your cross, ask Jesus for guidance on using your gifts and live the life God intended for you!

"Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; and whoever does not take up the cross and follow me is not worthy of me." (Matthew 10:37-38)

Do Something Beautiful for God – The Essential Teachings of Mother Teresa

June 26 – I always begin my prayer in silence, for it is in the silence of the heart that God speaks. God and silence are great friends. We need to listen to God, because it's not what we say, but what He says to us and through us those matters.

June 27 – There is so much suffering in the world-physical, material, mental. The suffering of some can be blamed on the greed of others. The material and physical suffering is suffering from hunger, from homelessness, from all kinds of diseases. Will we allow greed to rule our hearts, or will we accept God's invitation to joyful generosity?

June 28 – When someone is doing something to hurt you, don't turn inward, turn toward that person. He is hurting himself. Learn to forgive, knowing that we all need forgiveness. If you want to be true to God, learn from Jesus to be meek, humble, and pure. Learn to forgive.

June 29 – Should I devote myself to struggle for the justice of tomorrow or even for the justice of today, the neediest people would die right in front of me because they lack a glass of milk...I do not condemn those who struggle for justice. I believe there are different options for the people of God. To me the most important thing is to serve the neediest people.

June 30 – To leave Loreto was my greatest sacrifice, the most difficult thing I have ever done. It was much more difficult than to leave my family and country. In Loreto I have received my spiritual training.

 

 

July 1 – Everybody today seems to be in a hurry. No one has any time to give to others: children to their parents; parents to their children; spouses to each other.

July 2 – God created the whole world, but He is our Father. The Father loves me, and you. The tenderness of God's love-no one can love as God. He made us. He is Our Father.
