Reflection from Deacon George Mora
July 31, 2020
I was moved by the Gospel this week about Martha and Mary. They are referred to as friends of Jesus. And as friends, Jesus’ actions and words invite us to reflect, as the Church, as we celebrated the memorial of Saint Martha.
Jesus enters into the home of his close friends, Martha and Mary. He does not stay at a distance or reach them through the intervention of others. Jesus makes
a personal visit to the home of his friends.
And by entering into their house, Jesus, enters into their life experience in the loss of their brother Lazarus. From there Jesus goes on to transform the lives of his friends.
Martha pours out her heart to Jesus as His presence awakens a deep faith in her.
She says to Jesus, “But even now I know that whatever you ask of God, God will give you.” And she puts her trust in Jesus as he assures her, “Your brother will rise.”
Life is never the same once we have encountered Him. Because Jesus, the Son of God was sent by God to reconcile us to the Father. Jesus always seeks to heal. to restore, to teach and to guide us on the path of life. And he does so in a personal way.
At the end of this Gospel reading, Jesus says to Martha, “ I am the resurrection and the life.”
Jesus then closes with a question. “Do you believe this? To believe that Jesus’
life, death and resurrection, can be the pattern of your life and my life is to choose the better part, that will never be taken away.
Blessings,
Deacon George

LAZARUS PROJECT
July 21, 2020
Thank you to all of you for your continued commitment to feeding the homeless in our area. Through your Saturday morning drop offs, your generous donations and your constant prayers, we have been abundantly serving the Long Beach Rescue Mission on Saturday mornings with a van full of sack lunches as well as fresh fruits and veggies as well as canned. (We usually have an overflow car as well!) The LBRM appreciate and anticipate our donations and send their thanks and prayers.
A huge thank you to our very own Steve D. who contacted us early last week offering the overflow from the Food Pantry at St. Bernard’s Parish in Bellflower. We were able to pick up many cases of fresh fruit, peanut butter, Cup o Noodles, granola bars and cereal on Friday evening and deliver it directly to the Long Beach Rescue Mission that night. Thank you Steve and many thanks to St. Bernard’s Parish for sharing their bounty.
The Long Beach Rescue Mission continues to request fresh fruits and vegetables or canned fruits and vegetables as well as vegetable oil. Their need right now is for canned vegetables. If you can add that to the bounty you donate, they would be most grateful. They very much appreciate our contribution. They let us know that they are praying for our St. Cornelius community in their daily prayers. A huge thank you to all of you who continue to support the group either with food, prayer or funds directly to the LBRM.
We will meet near the pavilion at St Cornelius Saturday morning at 6:45 am. Please drive thru and drop off what you can share in front of the pavilion. Our car leaves at 7:00 am. We will gratefully accept any sack lunches you can provide. We will take all of the food directly to the Long Beach Rescue Mission to bolster and support their efforts to serve the people.
Please bring 5 (or more!) meals for the homeless in a clear gallon Ziplock bag consisting of:
◦ Drink (water)
◦ Sandwich
◦ Chips
◦ Fruit
◦ Candy bar or some sweet treat
◦ Bible passage
Everyone knows their own situations, please do not feel pressured to join us this Saturday. If you can't join us, please pray for us. Also, please share this with friends or family who might enjoy the grace of giving.
