We Need 4 "Shuns" around here!
I have been thinking... The success of Holy Family is dependent on us all concentrating on four "shuns":

InspiraSHUN - We all need to be inspired to continue our work of spreading the Good News.

InclinaSHUN - We need to be inclined to make this station the best it can be, and not just ok.

DedicaSHUN - Our success is based on the dedication of our board, staff, volunteers and listeners.

PerspiraSHUN - Sometimes it takes perspiration. I am talking about all of the work that needs to been done to make WHYF what it is.

Are you considering any of these "Shuns"?

As many of us enjoy a slower paced July, I encourage you to keep up your spiritual journey and take Holy Family Radio with you.

Wow, where did June go? It was another month of visiting Knights of Columbus Councils and attending another Womens' Expo. We also welcomed Classic Cleaners as another supporter of Holy Family Radio. July promises to be a little less hectic. We will be taking a break from the many visits and expos that we have been doing the past few months. Looking ahead into August, we will be celebrating twelve years on the air with an Open House. Mark your calendar now for August 24th. Plan to join us to help celebrate our anniversary. Have a fun, safe Fourth!

Dear brothers and sisters,

I was just watching a tv show on YouTube from 2000, and the commercials were included. Everything that was advertised during that show no longer exists. The computers, the medication, the pizzas. Nothing. They are all gone.

It just made me think that the things we obsess over (the problems of the day, the consumer products, the politics) all go away. I didn't even hear of many of the things that were advertised, and I was an adult at that time. 

That is such a great reminder of the eternity that we fight for every day amidst the passing worries and excitement of our day. How can sin tempt us when it is so repulsive? Why do we choose it when it offers death? I have no idea. But as we pray during the 24th week of Ordinary Time at Mass: "May the working of this heavenly gift, O Lord, we pray, take possession of our minds and bodies, so that its effects, and not our own desires, may always prevail in us." Amen! Don't lose hope when you don't get your way, or when things here don't always go well. The prize is Eternity, and the Eucharist is the Life that gets us there!
You can listen to our local programs as a podcast. Don't ever miss an episode of your favorite show!
July is the month dedicated to the Precious Blood of Our Lord; the Feast of the Precious Blood is the first Sunday of the month.

The Litany of the Most Precious Blood pays tribute to the blood our Lord both shed for us in His Passion and offers us in the Eucharist for our salvation.

Let us pray:
Almighty and eternal God, Thou hast appointed Thine only-begotten Son the Redeemer of the world and willed to be appeased by his blood. Grant, we beg of Thee, that we may worthily adore this price of our salvation and through its power be safeguarded from the evils of the present life so that we may rejoice in its fruits forever in heaven. Through the same Christ our Lord. Amen.
We never share your information with anyone.
We are very concerned with the privacy of our listeners.

This Month's Laughs
Right in the middle of the priest’s homily, a man in the second pew got up and walked out of the door. After mass, his wife went up to the priest and apologized. "I hope it did not upset you too much,” she said, “but please don't take it personally. My husband has been walking in his sleep for years.”

 A Deacon and his wife went to a potluck supper at their parish. After a while, the man scolded his wife saying, “I don't believe it, that's the third time you've hit the dessert table. Everyone will think you're a glutton.” “No they won't,” she replied with a smirk. “I've been telling people they’re for you!”

The parish’s youth minister went to the pastor and told him, “Can I have off tomorrow? My wife wants me to rearrange the furniture, clean the floors, and paint the garage”.The pastor looked over the schedule and saw that the school had a retreat planned. “We're really too busy tomorrow, I can't give you off,” he said. “Gee, thanks Father, the youth minister said smiling. “I knew I could count on you.”
Prayer for Holy Family Radio
Gracious and loving Father,
your Son, the Incarnate Word,

to all who will listen.
Bless Holy Family Radio in its apostolate
 of announcing the Good News.
Strengthen them for the work
of making the truths of our faith
more fully known and more faithfully lived.
 Through its programs,

and produce an abundant harvest for Your Kingdom.
 We pray this through Christ our Lord
 Amen.
