(St.

Augustine Church, Barberton, OH) (August 11, 2013) Nineteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time Living the Faith in August: Luke 12:32-48 Blessed are the people the Lord has chosen to be his own. (Ps. 33) To what do you give your time, your energy, your life? Is this truly where your heart lies? What is your real treasure? If Jesus came back today, what would he find you doing? Are you serving others or only yourself? What thieves do you let break into your house, stealing your peace, your hope and your faith?

328 Holy Hours were kept with our Lord in Eucharistic adoration last week. A Holy Hour in front of the Blessed Sacrament is worth more than a thousand years of human glory. (St. Padre Pio) Why is it important to commit to a Holy Hour? I suggest trying it just once to see. Contact Judy Soltis at 330-212-0926 if you would like to give it a try.
