SUMMARY:Saint Monica
DESCRIPTION:FOCAL POINT: \n“Formation\, therefore\, is ecclesial: it seeks to make the religious conscious of his participation in the mission of the Church and to develop his talents so that he is able to carry on the apostolate and spread the kingdom of God.” (Con. 151) \n  \nBirthday:\nFr. Gregory Helminski\, 1949\, USA \n  \n\nFor the grace to imitate our Founders\, and for fidelity to our charism and mission.\nFor all mothers\, like Saint Monica\, who pass on faith to their children.\nFor parents\, relatives\, friends and benefactors\, and for all those who have recommended themselves to our prayers.\n\n  \nFURTHER REFLECTION: \n“The parish is not an outdated institution; precisely because it possesses great flexibility\, it can assume quite different contours depending on the openness and missionary creativity of the pastor and the community.” (The Joy of the Gospel\, 28)

SUMMARY:St. Augustine
DESCRIPTION:FOCAL POINT: \n“Religious understand that apostolic activity\, rooted in and joined with contemplation\, belongs to the very nature of consecrated life; for it is a holy service and work of love entrusted to them by the Church to be carried out in its name.” (Con. 151) \n  \nDeceased:\nBr.

SUMMARY:The Passion of St. John the Baptist
DESCRIPTION:FOCAL POINT: \n“In the formation of the religious\, as is the tradition of the Congregation\, Mary will be presented as a model. She is the perfect disciple of Jesus and is the model of all who are called to discipleship.” (Con. 152) \n  \nDeceased:\nFr. Antoni Miechonski\, 1971\, Wejherowo\, Poland\nFr. Roman Hinschberger\, 1975\, Kitchener\, Canada \n  \n\nFor the conversion of sinners\, and for all in affliction\, temptation and agony.\nJohn the Baptist with great courage called us to a change of heart and to embrace the ways of God\, may we continue to respond to this call.\nFor vocations to the Congregation of the Resurrection.\n\n  \nFURTHER REFLECTION: \n“A Church which ‘goes forth’ is a Church whose doors are open. Going out to others in order to reach the fringes of humanity does not mean rushing out aimlessly into the world. Often it is better simply to slow down\, to put aside our eagerness in order to see and listen to others\, to stop rushing from one thing to another\, and to remain with someone who has faltered along the way.” (The Joy of the Gospel\, 46)

DESCRIPTION:FOCAL POINT: \n[Mary’s] “obedience enabled Her to cooperate with all of God’s plans for Her.

SUMMARY:Twenty-Third Sunday in Ordinary Time
DESCRIPTION:FOCAL POINT: \n“Trust\, dialogue and communication are of the utmost importance to exercising this freedom.
