Reflections ˜ Reflexiones Gospel: Mark 3:20-35

“Whoever does the will of God is my brother and sister and mother.” That includes us! We are the brothers and sisters of Jesus when we live as his disciples. A house divided against itself will not stand, so together we proclaim the Good News of Jesus Christ to the world. We can start in the communities where we live and work and pray. 1.) Who do you consider a brother or sister in faith? Why? 2.) What does it mean to be a disciple of Christ? How does that change your life? 3.) What activities help you to spread the Good News of Jesus Christ?

Evangelio: Marcos 3:20-35

"El que cumple la voluntad de Dios es mi hermano, mi hermana y mi madre". ¡Eso nos incluye! Somos los hermanos y hermanas de Jesús cuando vivimos como sus discípulos. Una casa dividida contra sí misma no permanecerá, por lo que juntos proclamamos las Buenas Nuevas de Jesucristo al mundo. Comencemos en las comunidades donde vivimos, trabajamos y oramos. 1.)¿A quién consideras hermano o hermana en la fe? ¿Por qué? 2.) ¿Qué significa ser un discípulo de Cristo? ¿En qué cambia eso tu vida? 3.) ¿Qué actividades te ayudan a difundir las Buenas Nuevas de Jesucristo?

Pastor s Message˜ Mensaje del Pa´rroco FAMILY

"When I was young today's Gospel always bothered me," said Phil at a parish retreat. "Jesus is in a hostile crowd who say he's insane or possessed by Satan. Then his mother and family come asking for him. I got bullied at school. I'd have welcomed my family to rescue me. But Jesus says no, here's my family--the ones doing God's will. It took me years to realize there's no contradiction here. When we moved here we knew no one. Then Linda and I joined the Bible study group and made friends. Everything changed when our son got leukemia. Our families were way too far away to help us, so our Bible study friends became our family. They fixed meals, prayed with us, sat with Jonathan so we could rest, cleaned house, mowed the grass, and even paid bills. We love our family, but Christ empowered an extended family, our true brothers and sisters in faith." Copyright (c) 2011, World Library Publications. All rights reserved.

Living Stewardship Now

FAMILIA

De esta manera se expresó Felipe durante un retiro parroquial: "Cuando yo era joven el Evangelio de hoy siempre me molestó. Jesús está en medio de una muchedumbre hostil, que dice que él está loco o poseído de Satanás. Entonces llegan su madre y su familia preguntando por él. En la escuela muchas veces fui agredido y me hubiera encantado que mi familia me rescatara. Pero Jesús dice que no, que su familia son aquellas personas que hacen la voluntad de Dios. Me tomó años para darme cuenta de que no había contradicción en sus palabras. Cuando nosotros nos mudamos aquí no conocíamos a nadie. Entonces Linda y yo nos unimos al grupo de estudio bíblico e hicimos amistades. Todo cambió cuando nuestro hijo contrajo leucemia. Nuestras familias estaban demasiado lejos para ayudarnos, así es que nuestros amigos del grupo de estudio bíblico se convirtieron en nuestra familia. Preparaban comidas, rezaban con nosotros, cuidaban de Jonatán para que Linda y yo pudiéramos descansar un poco, limpiaban nuestra casa, arreglaban el jardín y aún pagaron algunas cuentas. Nosotros amamos a nuestra familia, pero Cristo inspiró a esta familia por extensión, que son verdaderamente hermanos y hermanas en la fe". Copyright (c) 2011, World Library Publications.

PROMISES Today’s liturgy is full of promises. The reading from Genesis promises a final triumph over the power of sin and a return to a new creation. The reading from Second Corinthians promises that all who follow Christ will have to struggle. It also promises, however, that we can persevere if we but recognize that Christ is within us, renewing us daily, and giving us the courage and the strength we need to endure. The Gospel promises that doing God’s will makes us “family” with Jesus, who forgives all sin and triumphs over evil. Today might be a good day for us to make some promises as well. We can promise to stop kidding ourselves about our own tendencies to selfishness and sin. We can promise ourselves to believe—really believe—that while we are not sinless, we are forgiven. We can promise ourselves to combat evil and sin by acting as sisters and brothers not only to the Lord, but to one another as well. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

SUMMER CATECHESIS SERIES Fr. Cameron Faller will be presenting this summer catechesis series on understanding other religions and belief systems and how they compare and contrast with Catholicism: •One Holy, Catholic, Apostolic Church (June 12th) •Atheism and Agnosticism (June 19th) •No religious affiliation, spiritual but not religious, Whatever doesn’t really matter (July 10th) •Judaism and Islam (July 17th) •Mormonism (July 24th) •Mainline Protestantism and Evangelical Christianity (Aug. 14th) •Jehovah Witness and Seven Day Adventists (Aug. 28th) •Eastern Religions: Buddhism and Hinduism (Sept. 11th) Join us on the above dates in the School Cafeteria at 7:00pm. Light refreshments will be served.

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION The cathedral is a treasure in a diocese and in our tradition. It is not simply a “big church,” as some say; some parish churches are larger. What makes a cathedral is the presence of the chair, called a cathedra (Latin for seat) reserved for the bishop. There are many instances in our country of a local church (diocese) outgrowing a cathedral. In Baltimore and St. Louis, the former cathedrals are historic treasures in the heart of the old city, but new and larger structures now function as the seat of the bishop. When a bishop dies or retires, it is said that “the seat is vacant,” and when the new bishop is installed, the central ritual is the moment when the decree of the Holy Father is read and the new bishop is escorted to the cathedra. No one but the bishop sits in the cathedra during a ritual, but in Los Angeles the cathedra in the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels is accessible, and no one seems to mind when a visitor tries the cathedra out for the bishop’s point of view. —Rev. James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

ACTIONS

Actions speak louder than words; let your words teach and your actions speak. —St. Anthony of Padua

PROMESAS

La liturgia de hoy está llena de promesas. La lectura del Génesis promete un final triunfante sobre el poder del pecado y un regreso a una nueva creación. La lectura de la segunda carta a los corintios promete que todo aquel que sigue a Cristo tendrá dificultades. Sin embargo, también promete, que podemos perseverar si reconocemos que Cristo está con nosotros, renovándonos cada día, y dándonos el valor y la fuerza que necesitamos para esta perseverancia. El Evangelio promete que hacer la voluntad de Dios nos hace familia con Jesús, quien perdona todos los pecados y triunfa sobre el mal. Hoy podría ser un buen día para que también nosotros hiciéramos algunas promesas. Podemos prometer dejar de engañarnos a nosotros mismos acerca de nuestras tendencias al egoísmo y el pecado. Podemos prometernos creer —en verdad creer— que, aunque no estamos sin pecado, somos perdonados. Podemos prometernos combatir el mal y el pecado comportándonos como hermanos y hermanas no solamente con el Señor, sino con nuestros prójimos. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

Padre Cameron Faller presentará esta serie de catequesis de verano sobre la comprensión de otras religiones y sistemas de creencias y cómo se comparan y contrastan con el catolicismo: • Una Iglesia Santa, Católica y Apostólica (12 de junio) • Ateísmo y Agnosticismo (19 de junio) • Sin afiliación religiosa, espiritual pero no religiosa, Lo que sea ... realmente no importa (10 de julio) • Judaísmo e Islam (17 de julio) • Mormonismo (24 de julio) • Protestantismo principal y cristianismo evangélico (14 de agosto) • Testigos de Jehová y Adventistas de los Siete Días (28 de agosto) • Religiones orientales: budismo e hinduismo (11 de septiembre) Reunirse con nosotros en las fechas anteriores en la cafetería de la escuela a las 7:00pm. Se servirán refrescos.

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE Basándose en las palabras de Jesús, Mariano de Blas, compuso su canto: “Entre tus manos”. Este hermoso canto nos recuerda que “hay que morir para vivir”, es decir, que no es nada fácil ser discípulo de Jesucristo. El mismo Jesús nos pide que nos neguemos a nosotros mismos (Mateo 16:24); que carguemos la cruz para seguirlo (Marcos 8:34); que perdamos nuestra vida por su nombre (Lucas 9:24). Todo esto porque Jesús reconoce que el grano de trigo debe morir para dar vida, para multiplicarse (Juan 12:24). El canto: “Una espiga dorada por el sol”, de Cesáreo Gabaráin, nos recuerda que los cristianos somos trigo del mismo sembrador. Es Jesús quien nos siembra, nos cultiva, nos cosecha, nos tritura, nos amasa, y nos hace un solo pan consagrado a Dios. Somos granos de trigo que, unidos formamos el pan de la comunión que es comunidad. Para esto, cada uno debe morir a sus egoísmos y preferencias. Morir a sí mismo tiene sentido cristiano, sólo si es para trabajar unidos y en la misión de Cristo, la cual es salvación del mundo y construcción del Reino de Dios. —Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.
