Prayer for Conversion in Our Communities —
Dear God,
Move in our community:
Bring Your light to the darkness, Your justice to the oppressed, Your hope to those in despair, Your healing to those in pain. Work in us, Lord, and change our hearts, making us more loving, more merciful, and more compassionate.
Amen.

Virtues, EXPLAINED!
They say that wisdom comes with experience, and it does — but only if you accept it. Wisdom originates in both our will and in our intellect, meaning we must ask the Holy Spirit for the gift of wisdom — and remember to be ready when it comes.

August is the Month of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. With many Mary-centered feast days in August and in the summer in general, we cherish the chance to honor our Blessed Mother's Immaculate Heart all month long!
Mary, Mother of God, pray for us!

INSPIRATION FOR THE WEEK — This weekend at Mass, we heard about the Canaanite woman who did not take Jesus’ initial refusal as rejection, but rather as an invitation to engage with God, to show him the depth of her faith. When our prayers are not answered as we wish, will we have the courage to do the same?

An evening of faith, friendship, and discovering more deeply who you are in Christ!

Join the St. Anthony of Padua High School Youth Group on Wednesday, August 19, from 6:00–7:30 p.m. in the Youth Room for:

“Picture This… I Know Who I Am in Christ”

Come connect with other teens and reflect on the truth that God created each of us with purpose. Bring a friend—we would love to see you there!

“I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made.”
— Psalm 139:14

Tomorrow, we celebrate the Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary! This day commemorates the Catholic belief (dogma) that Mary, the Mother of Jesus, was assumed body and soul into heaven at the end of her earthly life. This places Mary in an ongoing intercessory role for those of us on Earth.
Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us!

Prayer in Faith in Trial
Dear God,
In this time of difficulty, be with me. When I don’t feel Your presence or hear Your voice, sustain me.
When I don’t see the path ahead, guide me. When I don’t know the next step, support me. In every day and in every moment, be my strength.
Amen.
