The Sacramental Life

Infant Baptism: Catechetical Class is required; please contact Fr. Luis 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 office know, so they can be put on a visiting schedule by a Eucharistic Minister. 

Marriage: All Catholics who have decided to enter marriage must see a priest six months prior to the desired date of marriage. If a Catholic is contemplating marriage to a non-Catholic, the Catholic must still contact a priest to fulfill the requirements of the Catholic Church for the marriage to be validly recognized by the Church.

Assumption-Florian Parish Bulletin, July 13, 2025

“Jesus said to him, ‘Go and do likewise.’” LUKE 10:37 This was Jesus’ command at the end of the Good Samaritan story. Did you know that the Samaritans and Jews despised each other? The moral of the story is to love our neighbor. That means loving someone you may not know, or someone that looks different than you, or someone that has different beliefs than you, or someone that you don’t like. All without expecting anything in return.

 

Sunday, July 13, 2025: @ 10:30 am Mass Fifteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time

Eucharistic Minister: Donalda Kuznia & Julian Stusynski Altar Servers: Afton, Cale, & Rhett Pearson

But wanting to justify himself, [a lawyer] asked Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?” (Luke 10:29)

Ponder: Who is my neighbor?

Prayer: Lord, you are near to the brokenhearted. Help me be a good neighbor to all people.

Practice: Today I will be faithful by being a neighbor to someone I’ve neglected.

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

July 11 – A high-ranking government official once said to me, “You are doing social work, and we also do the same. But we are doing it for something, and you are doing it for somebody.” To do our work we have to be in love with God.

July 12 – It is much easier to conquer a country than to conquer ourselves.

July 13 – Every act of love is a work of peace, no matter how small.

July 14 – I don’t claim anything of the work. It’s His work. I’m like a little pencil in His hand. That’s all. He does the thinking. He does the writing. The pencil has nothing to do with it. The pencil has only to be allowed to be used.

July 15 – Rigorous poverty is our safeguard. We do not want, as has been the case with other religious orders throughout history, to begin serving the poor and then gradually move toward serving the rich. For us to understand and to be able to help those who lack everything, we have to live as they live. The difference lies only in the fact that those we aid are poor by force, whereas we are poor by choice.

July 16 – We are entirely at the disposal of the Church. We profess a deep personal love for the Holy Father. We surrender ourselves completely to be united with Him as carriers of God’s love. Pray for us that we don’t spoil the work God has called us to do.

July 17 – Do not wait for leaders; do it alone, person to person. Today.
