PAGE 3 Decimonoveno Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario STRENGTHENED BY THE BREAD OF LIFE
Today we resume the “Bread of Life” discourse from John’s Gospel that began two weeks ago. He makes refer-ence to the Jews’ ancestors who ate manna in the desert. These days we would think primarily of Israel wandering in the desert, but faithful Jews would also have known the story of Elijah that we hear today. Strengthened by food and drink in the desert, the angel of the Lord sends him on his forty-day and forty-night journey (the biblical number for a preparation time). Like the food given to Elijah in the desert, Jesus tells his listeners that he is bread for the life of the world. It is very important that we not stop listening to Jesus after his promise of eternal life—a marvelous prom-ise, but this “reward” is not the only reason we feast on the Bread of Life. We also come to the table to be made strong for the journey of mission, that the whole world might have life in the fullness of Christ. We are compelled, if we have eaten of the bread of life, to go forth in service to all.
Question of the Week
First Reading — Elijah looked and there at his head was a hearth cake and a jug of water (1 Kings 19:4-8). Psalm — Taste and see the goodness of the Lord (Psalm 34). Second Reading — Be imitators of God, as beloved chil-dren, and live in love (Ephesians 4:30 — 5:2). Gospel — Jesus said, “I am the living bread; whoever eats this bread will live forever” (John 6:41-51). Question for Children: Name one way that your faith nour-ishes you? How does it help your life? Question for Adults: What nourishes your life? What does the phrase “living bread” mean for you?
Primera lectura — Después de descansar y alimentarse nuevamente dos veces, Elías se fortalece para caminar a la montaña de Dios, el monte Horeb (1 Reyes 19:4-8). Salmo — Gusten y vean qué bueno es el Señor (Salmo 34 [33]). Segunda lectura — Han sido marcados por el Espíritu Santo de Dios para que imiten a Dios y vivan en amor (Efesios 4:30-5:2). Evangelio — Jesús profesa que él es el pan de vida y to-do el que coma ese pan vivirá para siempre (Juan 6:41-51).
Pregunta para los niños: Menciona una manera en que la fe te nutre. ¿En qué te ayuda en tu vida? Pregunta para los adul-tos: ¿Qué alimenta su vida? ¿Qué significa la frase “pan vivo” para usted?

ANGER’S OFFSPRING As long as anger lives, she continues to be the fruitful
mother of many unhappy children. —St. John Climacus
Nineteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time Like Elijah, don’t we often get weary? We get weary for many reasons, even weary of doing good and believing all that Christ has taught. Sometimes, we forget (or fail to believe) that there are angels who constantly serve the Lord and protect us from all evil. They are mentioned in scripture, as in today’s first reading, and several times in the Gospels. When an angel comes from God and wakes Elijah and tells him to eat and drink the food that God has provided, he obeys immediately and sleeps again. Again the angel awakens him and bids him eat and drink. And “strengthened by that food, he walked forty days and forty nights to the mountain of God, Horeb.” This is quite a feat—to walk for forty days on one meal. But it is symbolic of our strengthening by the Eucharist to face all that we must in our day-to-day living. Sometimes we seem to be walking forever, exhausted and discouraged, but—conscious of the strength that comes from the Eucharist—we walk with faith and courage, facing whatever difficul-ties we encounter along the way.

Parish News
FORGIVENESS These days, we find ourselves in a bitterly divided nation and a divided Church. We may see ourselves as both right and righteous, but we need to take a closer look at both ourselves and others before we make judgments. It is cer-tainly possible that we are right and the other side quite wrong, but we must be aware, with humility, that we may be the ones who are wrong about many things. Even if we are in the right, Saint Paul reminds us that “All bitterness, fury, anger, shouting, and reviling must be removed from you, along with all malice.” To be right is of no conse-quence if we are constantly condemning and ridiculing our “opponents” in the world and in the Church. “And be kind to one another, compassionate, forgiving one another as God has forgiven you in Christ,” says Saint Paul. So “do not grieve the Holy Spirit.”

FOOD OF LIFE “Christ loved us and handed himself over for us as a sacrificial offering to God.” Jesus speaks of himself as the “bread of life.” He teaches that those who come to him are called by God, and that he himself is the only one who has seen God; if we believe, we will be raised on the last day. If we think we are right only because we believe we are right, based on our own knowledge, we kid our-selves. If we believe we are right because we follow the writings of others who boast of their knowledge of God but do not show it in kindness and love for others, we are fools. If we condemn others because they do not believe as we do, we condemn ourselves for not following the humble and gentle Jesus. We must be kind, and always remember that “They shall all be taught by God.” Judge not, for as Jesus tells us, “I am the living bread that came down from heaven; whoever eats this bread will live for-ever . . . whoever believes has eternal life.”

Safeguard the Children
DID YOU KNOW? Cell phone snapshots may not be so innocent Nearly everyone has a cell phone and that may be great for communication and connection, but it also gives rise to concerns about who may be taking pho-tos of you or your children without your knowledge. You can’t police the behaviors of others around you, but you can avoid taking pictures of your own children in public, and posting photos online that give away the locations of your favorite parks and hangouts. If your children have phones, monitor the photos they are taking and sharing, too. For a copy of the complete VIRTUS® article “Camera Phones: Unseen Dangers” http://www.la-archdiocese.org/org/protecting/Pages/VIRTUS-Current-Online-Articles.aspx
Casi todas las personas tienen teléfono celular para man-tenerse comunicados con los demás. Pero con esta inter-conexión, surge las interrogantes de quienes están autori-zados para tomar fotos suyas o de sus hijos sin el debido consentimiento. Ustedes no pueden controlar el compor-tamiento de quienes les rodean, pero si pueden evitar tomar y publicar las fotos de sus hijos y de los lugares que ellos más frecuentan. Si sus hijos tienen celulares, revise periódicamente las fotos que ellos toman y comparten.
