  Holy Father, forgive us. Though you should guide us, we inform ourselves. Though you should rule us, we control ourselves. Though you should fulfill us, we console ourselves. For we think your truth too high, your will too hard, your power too remote, your love too free. But they are not! And without them, we are of all people most miserable. Heal our confused mind with your word, heal our divided will with your law, heal our troubled conscience with your love, heal our anxious hearts with your presence, all for the sake of your Son, who loved us and gave himself for us. AMEN.

3. YOUTH CAR WASH-A-THON FUNDRAISER
   On Saturday, July 19, our youth will be holding their annual FOL Youth Car Wash-a-thon — and we’d love your support! Many of you are already familiar with the Car Wash-a-thon and have generously sponsored our youth in the past — thank you! For those who are new: a Car Wash-a-thon is just like a jog-a-thon, but instead of laps, our youth are sponsored for each car they wash during a two-hour window. All funds raised go directly toward summer camp costs and camp scholarships. To sponsor our youth, click the link HERE — it’s quick, easy, and makes a big difference! Thank you for supporting our youth and investing in their growth!
