PREPARING FOR EUCHARISTIC CONGRESS: All parishioners are asked to spend some time this week
meditating on the following passage: God Gives, and It is Free! The
Lord says, “Come,
everyone who is thirsty—
here is water! Come,
you that have no money—
Buy grain and eat! Come!
Buy wine and milk—
it will cost you nothing! Why
spend money on
what does not satisfy? Why
spend your wages and still be hungry? Listen
to me and do what I say,
and you will enjoy the best food of all. Listen
now, my people, and come to me;
Come to me, and you will have life!” Isaiah 55.1-3a
