Each day thereafter prayer and meditation will begin at 6:30 pm. On the 10th day, which is the feast day of Sts. Anne & Joachim (July 26), a closing Mass is celebrated at the shrine.

GOING ON VACATION? While you are enjoying your summer activities, don’t forget your church here at home. Collections normally drop dur-ing the summer months. Your stewardship of treasures is needed to help us meet current expenses which are high-er during this time of year. May God Bless you and keep you safe during your summer holidays.

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION It’s high summer now, school is out, the pace of work slows, and some people drift away. There are visitors in the churches every summer, and familiar faces are “among the missing.” Some find the summer’s call more appealing than the summons of the church bells. Many, however, would not dream of missing a Sunday, and so they make their way to Mass in unfamiliar places, watching the locals for clues as to when to sit or stand, where the Communion stations are. In answering the call, they keep the “sabbatical” rhythm of the Christian life: every seventh day, the Body of Christ assembles for worship. For centuries, there was no obligation to Sunday Mass in the sense of a written law, but Christians have always yearned to be together on Sunday. In the city of Abitina, during a perse-cution by the Emperor Diocletian, a group of Christians were urged to stop worshiping together on Sundays. They responded, “Then take our lives, for without the Sunday we cannot live.” By a curious coincidence, the appointed readings today center us on thoughts of peace. On our Independence Day, the experi-ence of worship situated us in community, and evoked a com-mitment from us to be advocates of peace in all aspects of our society’s life.

THE VOICE OF THE LORD What is more delightful than the voice of the

Lord calling to us? —St. Benedict

Legacy Corner 4 Benefits of Giving Life Insurance Many people overlook life insurance as a giving option, but it’s an easy way to make a difference at St. Hilary/St. Anthony. Plus, a gift of life insurance has the following four perks. 1. Cost-Efficient Life insurance allows you to make a significant gift even if your means are limited today. By making small premium payments each year for a limited number of years, you can leave a gift of sizable proportions. 2. Tax-Beneficial For an existing policy, you may receive a federal income tax charitable deduction. For a new policy, with the Catholic Foun-dation or St. Hilary/St. Anthony named as the owner and bene-ficiary, your premium payments may be deductible as charita-ble gifts. 3. Secure and Confidential Your life insurance policy is a contract and therefore cannot be changed by unhappy heirs. If you make the Catholic Founda-tion or St. Hilary/St. Anthony the owner and beneficiary of the policy now, it will not be included in your probate estate and therefore will remain confidential. 4. Helpful to Our Mission Life insurance gives you the option to make a gift with an asset other than cash, helping you to make a bigger impact than you may have ever thought possible. Life Insurance Policies You Can Give • A recently issued policy • An existing policy in premium-paying mode • A paid-up life insurance policy

HANG IT ON THE CROSS If you have a secret sorrow, a burden or a loss,

An aching need for healing...Hang It On The Cross.

If worry steals your sleep and makes you turn and toss, If your heart is feeling heavy...Hang It On The Cross.

Every obstacle to faith or doubt you come across, Every prayer unanswered...Hang It On The Cross.

For Christ has borne our brokenness and dearly

paid the cost To turn our trials to triumph...Hang It On The Cross.
