EPIPHANY E-STAR – July 18, 2024
  
A Message from Father Michael Long:
This is a prayer I found online just hours after the attempt to assassinate former President Trump. It is attributed to the Catholic Health Association, and I believe it reflects not only many of our feelings at this moment but also our needs as faithful people in a time of crisis:
 
                                          God who is beyond politics and nations,
                                      Christ who transcends the power of violence,
                                            Holy Spirit who animates all people,
                      be with us in this moment of violence, division, and turmoil.
                                     Transform our rage and hate that we might see
                                         our brothers and sisters with your eyes.
                  Break our hearts of stone, give us hearts of love and understanding
                                          that your peace might prevail. Amen.

                                       If I Can Stop One Heart from Breaking
                                        If I can stop one heart from breaking,
                                                    I shall not live in vain;
                                            If I can ease one life the aching,
                                                        Or cool one pain,
                                                 Or help one lonely person
                                                     Into happiness again
                                                    I shall not live in vain.
