Sacred Relics Of The Saints: Treasures Of The Church-TONIGHT
St. Gabriel the Archangel Parish presents a teaching and exposition of Sacred Relics on Thursday July 15 at 6:30 pm.  Father Carlos Martins of the Companions of the Cross will be here with an extraordinary Vatican collection of over 150 relics, some as old as 2000 years.  Among the treasures will be relics of St. Joseph, St. Maria Goretti, St. Therese of Lisieux (the “Little Flower”), St. Francis of Assisi, St. Anthony of Padua, St. Thomas Aquinas, and St. Faustina Kowalska.  There will also be a portion of the Veil of Our Lady and one of the largest remaining pieces of the True Cross in the world.  Those in attendance will be able to examine and venerate each relic.  Throughout history, many healings have been worked in the presence of relics; and thousands have been occasioned through this ministry.  Do not miss this opportunity.  You are encouraged to bring your articles of devotion (such as rosaries, holy cards, etc.) and pictures of ill friends/family members, which you will be able to touch to the reliquaries as a means of intercession.

School Supply Drive for children in Kids Crossing foster program
Again this year, the Outreach committee is sponsoring a Back-to-School drive for children in foster care.  This years’ collection will support 87 foster children and teens in several school districts with varying school schedules.  A display table will be set up in the Narthex from July 10th through July 31th for your donations. Having the required school supplies can make a huge difference in a young person’s self-esteem and set a course for academic success. These children need our support, encouragement and most importantly our prayers. Thank you for supporting at- risk students in our community and for your unfailing generosity! Please see bulletin for list of needed items.

How Should I Spend My Hour of Eucharistic Adoration
There are a multitude of ways you can spend your time with Jesus in Adoration.  Depending on what is going on in your life at any given time, how you spend your hour can differ from week to week.  Here are ten ideas to get you started:
1.  Pray the Rosary. If you’re not used to praying a whole rosary by yourself, start with one decade, or even just one Our Father and one Hail Mary. Go slowly and mediate on the words.
2.  Bring your Bible to read. Pick a starting point (anywhere in the book), read slowly until you find words that you feel Jesus is speaking to you. Meditate on those words.
3.  Simply sit in silence and be open to the thoughts God gives you. Ask God a question, enjoy the stillness of His presence, and listen for His answer.
4.  Tell Jesus what you are thankful for and express your gratitude; praise him, whether you use words from a prayer, a psalm, or a hymn.
5.  Pray for someone else, be it someone who needs healing, or someone who angers you, or someone with whom you want to improve your relationship.
6.  Tell Jesus what you’re afraid of. Listen to Him in silence. Pray for strength and courage.
7.  Pray for the deceased and for the souls in Purgatory.
8.  Read the life of a saint and pray with him or her.
9.  Ask Jesus for help where you’ve failed; examine your conscience for your next confession.
10.  Slowly recite the Beatitudes (Matt. 5:3-12) or read the Sermon on the Mount (Matt. Chapters 5 through 7).
One of the best things about Adoration is there is no limit on the way you choose to pray or be in the company of Jesus, as long as you don’t disturb others in the chapel.  If you’d like to commit to a regular weekly hour of Adoration, contact Cindy Martinez at cmartinez at saintgabriel.net<mailto:cmartinez at saintgabriel.net> or at 719-528-8407.   You can sign up for any hour you’d like between 8 a.m. and 9 p.m. Monday through Friday.  We are especially in need of a regular weekly adorer for the following hours:  Mondays from 6pm to 7pm, Tuesdays from 1pm to 2pm and 5pm to 6pm, and Thursdays from 12pm to 1pm and 2pm to 3pm. Visit our kiosk or our website at www.saintgabriel.net<http://www.saintgabriel.net> and click on the “Adoration Pro” box, then on “Weekly Commitment” to sign up for the hour of your choice.
