While there are many volunteers hetping everyday seruing God quietly dr,rring mass, preparing food and refreshments, teaching classes, there is group of angels who come to SSPP religiously every Saturday AM to clean the church and print/fold hundreds ofchurch progranls, In talking to Nancy Alvey, Veronica Cabal, Aida Avecilla, Eveiyil Bautista and Carina Young on why they wake up early and spend their entire morning at the church, the Kupuna say their inspiration comes from 1't Peter, 4:10, whet'e Peter writes "use \trhatever gift he has received to serve others, faithtully administering God's grace in its various forms", With a hot pot of coffee and a few cookies to give them energy, the angels clean the pe\tis, vacullttt the sanctuary, prepare the floral arrangements, dust and wipe dor'vn exposed surf,aces and fold the programs, Like the unoffrcial US Postman's motto logo: "Neither sno\v nor rain ncr heat nor gloon-t of night stays these cauriers from the swift completian of their appainted raund.s'l the Saturday AM angels can be foiir-rd dutifully behind the scenes preparing the church for setrrice.

GOOD NEWS! Exodus '16:2-4, 12-15; Epfiesians 4:17,20-24 John 6:24*35 Grumbling is terrible. lt spreads discontent, discour_ agement, a negative spirit. lt tells others you are unhappy and tries to drag them down. The lsraelites grumbled against Moses and, indirectly, against God. He had taken them from slavery, yes, but led them into the desert with poor food and con_ tinual wanderings. At least as slaves they had food to eat and knew where they were. The devil can also trick us into believing that Jesus has done us no favors in saving us from the s[avery of sin and feeding us with the gospel as we wander after his will. Jesus faces this shortsightedness. After he multiplies the bread and feeds the people, they follow him-but not because they want to convert and begin living the life of generosity. They follow him because they got their fill. They want a God that satisfies and takes care of thern. They want a credit-card God, an unending source of funds to bail them out- not a God who offers salvation through conversion and generosity. It is common to want a God who obeys us and not the other way around. Saint Jerome went into the desert, just like the Egyptians, to learn this lesson of humble obedience. Rather than grumble, he prayed for conversion. He learned that there is no doubt Jesus gives us all we could need, but we must expand our hearts and minds to receive it. conversion is stretching our limits to the bountiful measure of God rather than grumbling and shrinking him to our miserly standards.

Department of Justice Creates 'Religious Liberty Task Force'
Paus$
infarmation we receive remoins confidential.
ristine Roussel le/CNA/EWTN News WASHINGTON - The announcement of a "Religious Liberty Task Force" being created at the Department of Justice drew praise from Archbishop Joseph Kurtz of Louisville, Kentucky. who said that religious freedom is vital to the common good of the United States. Ch
'lAs Americans we intuitively understand
that individuals should be free to live in accordance with what they believe to be true, that is, in accordance one's conscience,,, said Archbishop Kurtz, who chairs the U.S. Conference of Cathol ic Bishops' religious liberty comm ittee. iArchbishop Kurtz spoke July 30 at a Religious Liberty Sum+ mit hosted by the Department of Justice. I nt tn" summit, Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced the creation of the new task force, saying it "will help the department fully implement our religious-liberty guidance by ensuring that allJustice Department components are upholding that guidance in the cases they bring and defend, the arguments they make in court, the policies and regulations they adopt, and how we conduct our operations." Sessions warned that "a dangerous rnovement, undetected by many, is now challenging and eroding our great tra-
dition of religious freedom." Ultimately, confronting and defeating this threat will require an intellectual shift to remember the importanee of religious freedom, a "core American principle,, that the Trump administration is committed to protecting, he said. "This administration is animated by that same American view that has led us for 242 years: that every American has a right to believe, worship and exercise their faith in
the public square." ln his remarks, Archbishop Kurtz stressed that religicus organizations do a lot of good for society. But in recent years, these organizations have found it harder to operate in line with their beliefs due to governmental policies, such as the Obarna administration,s HHS
contraception mandate, and the recent crackdown on faith-based foster care and adoption pr-oviders who place children only in homes with a mother and a father, he
said.

'Ano'ai Kikou, What do we thirst for in life? How do we seek our path? The purpose of the young adults group is to bring together all of us around the same phase in life, so we can relate and seek these answers together. Of course, even without peers to talk to and understand, we can always pray. But when praying, do we ask, what we will, or done listen for God,s will? Without the Church and immersing ourselves in God,s work, it's easy to slide from one way to the other. So please join us when you can, so we can all help each other. . .

What kind of observations do they make about their surroundings when they take frequent stops? r Listening is a skill for kids and adults of all ag_ es. Being still and listening can be directly connected to the ability to hear our faith, We hear our faith in nature, in conversations and in movements around us.
