“Jesus summoned the Twelve and began to send them out two by two and gave them authority over unclean spirits .” - Mk 6:7
A MESSAGE FROM Our Pastor
My Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
In this week’s Gospel, Jesus summoned the Twelve
and sent them out two by two, giving them authori-
ty over unclean spirits. They were appointed to
preach repentance, drive out demons, and heal the
sick. By extension of the Twelve Apostles, every
member of the Church has been called to proclaim
the message of salvation in Jesus Christ and bring
healing to the people of God. In fact, “[the Church]
exists in order to evangelize...to preach and teach,
to be the channel of the gift of grace, to reconcile sinners with
God” (Evangelii nuntiandi, 14).
By virtue of our Baptism and Confirmation, we share in the
priestly, prophetic, and kingly mission of Christ. In particular,
as prophets, we are called to proclaim God’s message of peace
and salvation. But we are not sent out alone. God gives us the
Church as the community of believers in order to strengthen,
encourage, and affirm our mission to love and serve Christ and
one another. In the process of evangelization, we will face mo-
ments of ridicule and rejection, just as Jesus did in his public
ministry. How can we overcome this obstacle?
While facing rejection, Amos declared that it was God who
chose and sent him to speak to the people of Israel. Despite per-
secutions, he had peace knowing he was following the will of
God. What about us? Can we detach ourselves from our former
ways of life in order to follow our Lord and Savior, to love and
serve him entirely? Today, let us reflect on the blessings we
have received from our Baptism and Confirmation, thank God
for the gift of our salvation in Jesus Christ, and allow the Holy
Spirit to make us instruments of the Gospel.
How can we open ourselves up to let the effects of the Holy Spirit be-
come active in our lives? How can we exercise Christ’s authority over
the unclean spirits in our lives in order to boldly proclaim and witness
to the Gospel?
Fr. David Vivero
Mis queridos hermanos y hermanas en Cristo,
Mis queridos hermanos y hermanas en Cristo,
En el evangelio de esta semana, Jesús llama a los doce y
los envía dos por dos, dándoles autoridad sobre los
espíritus impuros. Fueron designados para predicar el
arrepentimiento, expulsar demonios y sanar a los enfer-
mos. Como extensión de los Doce Apóstoles, todos los
miembros de la iglesia han sido llamados a proclamar
el mensaje de salvación en Jesucristo y traer la sanación
al pueblo de Dios. De hecho, “[la iglesia] existe para
evangelizar… para predicar e instruir, para ser el ca-
nal del don de la gracia, para reconciliar a los pecadores con
Dios” (Evangelii nuntiandi, 14).
Por virtud de nuestro bautismo y confirmación, compartimos en
la misión sacerdotal, profética y real de Cristo. En particular, co-
mo profetas, somos llamados a proclamar el mensaje de paz y
salvación de Dios. Pero no somos enviados solos. Dios nos da la
iglesia como la comunidad de creyentes para fortalecer, alentar y
afirmar nuestra misión de amar y servir a Cristo y a nuestros
semejantes. En el proceso de evangelización, enfrentaremos mo-
mentos de burlas y rechazo, como los enfrentó Jesús en su minis-
terio público. ¿Cómo podemos vencer este obstáculo?
Al enfrentar el rechazo, Amos declara que Dios fue el que lo eligió
y lo envió a hablar con el pueblo de Israel. A pesar de las perse-
cuciones, él tenía paz al saber que seguía la voluntad de Dios. ¿Y
que de nosotros? ¿Podemos despegarnos de nuestras anteriores
costumbres de vida para seguir a nuestro Señor y Salvador, para
amarlo completamente? Hoy, reflejemos sobre las bendiciones
que recibimos por nuestro bautismo y confirmación, agradez-
camos a Dios por el don de la salvación por medio de Jesucristo, y
permitamos que el Espíritu Santo nos haga instrumentos del
evangelio.
¿Cómo podemos abrirnos para permitir que los efectos del Espíritu Santo
sean activos en nuestras vidas? ¿Cómo podemos ejercer la autoridad de
Cristo sobre los espíritus impuros en nuestras vidas para poder
proclamar resueltamente y ser testigos para el evangelio?. P. David Vivero

Gospel Meditation
For Your Day
t’s all so ordinary that we can easily miss it. The seagulls hunting and diving for mollusks at the beach offer a display of determination and precision as they gather their food for the day. It’s simply what these creatures do. Yet, there’s a magical artfulness and skill to their work that speaks volumes about the One who breathed life into their being. This is pretty much the way it is with God’s presence. God comes in common ways through common things and ordinary people. Sadly, we are so engulfed in our little worlds of order and ideas to notice the beauty and wonder of it all. Many have numbed themselves to the Divine spark at the essence of all life because that’s just the way it is. What’s so special about it? A sunset is a sunset and a seagull is a seagull. That’s precisely what they thought about Jesus too. After all, isn’t he just the carpenter’s son? What merit can his words possibly have? If we’re looking for God to come in an event that is so dramatic and intense that it knocks our socks off, then think again. When pondering God’s relationship with His people and God’s action in our lives, we have to go back to the stable and the recurring, creative, unending power of God’s presence. It was a quiet, run of the mill kind of night. There was nothing spectacular or extraordinary. To the naked eye, a woman gave birth to a child and there wasn’t anything extraordinary to see. We have a hard time understanding God’s ordinary-ness. Jesus grew up in an ordinary town, had neighbors and did normal human things. Perhaps that’s why we don’t always like the Gospel. It doesn’t dazzle us with extraordinary things but simply challenges us to take a different look at our ordinary stuff. That makes us uncomfortable. We prefer things as they are. Our lack of faith can even cause us to take offense at what Jesus says and does, dismissing it as folly. God’s life-giving presence continues to sustain that seagull in flight and keep all things in being regardless of whether we have the faith to see and understand this. Our personal agendas, preconceived ideas,
“IWelcome!
All Are Welcome Here If you are alienated or upset, we welcome you lovingly. If you are in
need of forgiveness, Jesus forgives you completely—with unconditional love. If you have been hurt by the Church, we are truly sorry. If you are angry, Jesus offers you peace. If life has become burdensome, we are here to support you. We are happy you are here and want you to stay. We would like to share our lives with you. Come join us each week so we can worship God together.
All Souls Loves Visitors! We accept anyone who wants to share in the life of the parish regardless of where they live.

While everyone is having a good time at All Souls Community Family Fest, behind the scenes a brigade of volunteers is working tirelessly to ensure that all guests enjoy their experience. Every year, those volunteers take out mountains of trash, drive the infirm from their cars to the fun, cook endless meals, string up lights and electrical cables, set up tents and stages... the list goes on. Who are these volunteers? They're a core group of All Souls festival die-hards known as the "green shirts", surrounded by dozens of people like you, who make it all possible. It's you who is the beating heart of All Souls community; it's you who brings people together from all over Central Florida for two days of much needed fellowship; it's you who points a spotlight at Christ by sharing your gifts and love with others. And, by making it fun to be with All Souls, it's you who helps introduce so many to Christ.

Les mandó que no llevaran nada para el camino: ni pan, ni mochila, ni
dinero en el cinto, sino únicamente un bastón, sandalias y una sola túnica.”
Veronica’s desire to be like Christ crucified was answered with the stigmata.
Veronica was born in Mercatelli, Italy. It is said that when her moth-er Benedetta was dying she called her five daughters to her bedside and entrusted each of them to one of the five wounds of Jesus. Ve-ronica was entrusted to the wound below Christ’s heart. At the age of 17, Veronica joined the Poor Clares directed by the Capuchins. Her father had wanted her to marry, but she convinced him to allow her to become a nun. In her first years in the monastery, she worked in the kitchen, infirmary, sacristy, and also served as portress. At the age of 34, she was made novice mistress, a position she held for 22 years. When she was 37, Veronica received the stig-mata. Life was not the same after that. Church authorities in Rome wanted to test Veronica’s authenticity and so conducted an investigation. She lost the office of novice mis-tress temporarily and was not allowed to attend Mass except on Sun-days or holy days. Through all of this Veronica did not become bitter, and the investigation eventually restored her as novice mis-tress. Though she protested against it, at the age of 56 she was elected ab-bess, an office she held for 11 years until her death. Veronica was very devoted to the Eucharist and to the Sacred Heart. She offered her sufferings for the missions, died in 1727, and was canonized in 1839. Her Liturgical Feast Day is July 9. Why did God grant the stigmata to Francis of Assisi and to Veronica Giuliani? God alone knows the deepest reasons, but as Celano points out, the external sign of the cross is a confirmation of these saints’ commitment to the cross in their lives. The stigmata that appeared in Veronica’s flesh had taken root in her heart many years before. It was a fitting conclusion for her love of God and her charity toward her sisters.
And The Bible Says...
“Jesus said to them, ‘A prophet is not without honor except in his
