Stewardship Moment: “They all ate and were satisfied. And when the leftover fragments were picked up, they filled twelve wicker baskets.” (Luke 9:17) The story of the Loaves and Fishes shows us that when you share what you have, even if it doesn’t seem like that much, miracles can happen! Do not think that your gift is too small or insignificant! Each of us has a role in God’s plan; you just need to place your trust inthe Lord. Nothing is impossible with God. You just may be the answer to someone else’s prayer.
 

Blessing of Fields: Anyone wishing to have their fields blessed, please call Fr. Leier to make an appointment and he would be happy to come and bless your fields.

On Retreat: I will be attending my annual retreat this week. I depart on Sunday afternoon and I will return Friday afternoon, just in time to celebrate Sacred Heart Parish Feast Day’s Mass and Picnic! Please pray for me as I take this time for spiritual renewal. Weekday Mass, Adoration, and Confessions are cancelled while I’m away. Rosary and Daily Readings will take place Mon-Thu at 7:30 a.m. at Sacred Heart.
Thank you! ~Fr. Leier

Stewardship Moment: “The Advocate, the Holy Spirit whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you everything and remind you of all that I told you.” (John 14:26) The materialism of our society lures us to concentrate more on what we want than on what God wants for us. The relativism of our world tells us that we should be tolerant of all things, that there is no absolute truth. Pray to the Holy Spirit to transform our lives and to guide our thoughts, words and actions. What you put in your mind, heart, and soul affects your actions. Put good things in and good things will come out.

Blessing of Fields: Anyone wishing to have their fields blessed, please call Fr. Leier to make an appointment and he would be happy to come and bless your fields.

Report Cards for religious education were mailed last week. If you have any questions or comments, contact the teacher, Diane Odstrcil, DRE, or Fr. Leier.

No Adoration or Confessions on Tuesday evening this week at Sacred Heart, because Fr. Leier will be attending the Women’s Care Center Luxury Bingo event that evening, June 10, at Devils Lake.
 

Rural Life Celebration: Please join Bishop Folda and the parishioners of St. James Basilica, on Sunday, June 29th at Calvin & Linda Leyendecker’s Farm, 4585 97th Ave SE, Marion, ND. Welcome begins at 4 p.m. with Mass at 4:30. After Mass will be a blessing of land, machinery, and animals followed by a meal. This event is free and open to all. RSVP by June 16th at: parish@stjamesbasilica.org (preferred) or (701) 252-0119.

Heavenly Wisdom by Venerable Fulton Sheen: “No soul ever fell away from God without giving up prayer. Prayer is that which establishes contact with Divine Power and opens the invisible resources of heaven. However dark the way, when we pray, temptation can never master us. The first step downward in the average soul is the giving up of the practice of prayer, the breaking of the circuit with divinity, and
the proclamation of one’s owns self sufficiency.”
