St. Charles Bulletin for July 7, 2002
14th Sunday in Ordinary Time
"I will give you rest".
As I take off to visit Ireland, my family and friends, I'm glad to have the Lord's word of encouragement. Like many of you, I have inherited a work ethic that will not quit. I believe that action counts more than words or intentions. My favorite scripture quotes are: "By their fruits you shall know them" and "Not those who say Lord, Lord, but those who do the will of the Father."
We need God to tap us on the shoulder and point out the value of rest. "Make Holy the Sabbath" is the weekly reminder to leave aside our occupations to rest in the Lord.
May each of you be blessed with time for vacation and renewal.
THE CONTEMPLATIVE WAY
Listening With The Heart
Because the Wednesday night series were so popular (25+ people attending),
there will be two additional sessions this summer: Tuesday, July 17 and
August 13, from 7:30 to 8:30 PM in the Chapel. Come and See. In the Fall,
there will be monthly sessions for Spiritual Growth in the Contemplative
Way. Call Jean Sweeney for info. at 703-527-5500 x15. Co-leader Lori Marie
Croskey is hoping to lead a twice monthly Julian contemplative prayer
group. Call Lori Marie for more info: at 703-841-8728.
MARRIAGE CIRCLE
The Marriage Circle is taking a summer vacation! We will not meet in July
or August. We will have a reception in September to kick-off Fall. If

the group, please contact John and Melissa Crowley at 703-241-5880 or

18, 2002 at 12 Noon in the Parish Library. There will not be a class in
