Tenth Sunday in Ordinary Time

United in Christ, we seek to spread God’s Word through prayer and action ...

¿Cuál es el pecado imperdonable? Dios perdonará a cualquier pecador que se arrepienta -

¿correcto? Sin importar lo que hayamos hecho, si

verdaderamente estamos arrepentidos y deseamos ser

restaurados en la gracia de Dios, el Sacramento de la

Confesión nos asegurará nuestro lugar en el cielo - ¿correcto?

Si es así, entonces ¿cuál es el pecado imperdonable que

nombra la lectura del Evangelio de este domingo? ¿Estamos

en peligro de ir al infierno porque hay un pecado que no se

perdona? Miremos el contexto en el cual Jesús está

describiendo el pecado imperdonable. Está hablando de

Satanás, el hombre fuerte que roba (posee) almas. Fíjate qué

fácil es arrebatar las propiedades del hombre fuerte:

¡simplemente obligamos (atamos) al hombre fuerte! ("Nadie

puede entrar a la casa del hombre fuerte a despojarlo de sus

propiedades a menos que lo ate primero. Entonces puede

despojar la casa.") Jesús pronto comenzaría a enviar a sus

discípulos a comenzar el saqueo, es decir, a rescatar almas en

el nombre y el poder de Cristo. Los pecados de los rescatados

serán perdonados. Jesús dijo: “Quien blasfeme contra el

Espíritu Santo nunca será perdonado, sino que será culpable de

un pecado eterno.” Los demonios blasfeman al Espíritu Santo

al ser plenamente conscientes de la verdad y sin

embargo deliberadamente mentirnos acerca de la bondad del

Espíritu Santo, llevándonos, si pueden, lejos de Dios. ¡Esto es

imperdonable! ¿Qué sucede con los seres humanos que creen

las mentiras demoníacas? El Catecismo de la Iglesia

Católica (párrafo 1864) dice que

quien deliberadamente rechazara arrepentirse de un pecado

rechazará el perdón: "Esa dureza de corazón puede conducir a

la impenitencia final y a la pérdida eterna." La mayoría de las

personas, creo, que permiten que las mentiras demoníacas

influyan en ellos, simplemente no se dan cuenta que la verdad

es mejor. Como nos dice la primera lectura de este domingo,

Adán y Eva pecaron porque Satanás los engañó. Cada pecador

ha sido engañado. Tú y yo pecamos cuando creemos una

mentira y el Espíritu Santo, el Espíritu de la Verdad, está con

nosotros para ayudarnos a sobreponernos a cada mentira. La

verdad nos libera.

Preguntas para la Reflexión Personal: Mirando

hacia atrás tu crecimiento espiritual durante estos años,

¿cuándo venciste las mentiras sobre Dios? ¿Con qué pecado

estás peleando todavía hoy? Pide al Espíritu Santo que te de

una nueva comprensión sobre ello.

Preguntas para Compartir la Fe en Comunidad:

Nombra los pecados que ves comúnmente en nuestro mundo

de hoy. ¿Qué verdades sobre Dios no alcanzan a comprender

las personas en cada clase de pecado? Si se abrieran a estas

verdades, ¿cómo cambiarían sus mentes y sus

comportamientos? ¿Cómo podemos evangelizarnos sobre la

verdad?© 2017 Terry Modica, Catholic Digital Resources,

Pastor’s Ponderings Refleciones del Parroco Father/Padre Chris LaBarge

What is the unforgiveable sin? God will forgive any repentant sinner -- right? No

matter what we have done, if we are truly remorseful and

desire to be restored to God’s grace, the Sacrament of

Confession will secure our place in heaven -- right? If so,

then what is the unforgiveable sin named in this Sunday's

Gospel reading? Are we in danger of going to hell because

there's an unforgivable sin? Let’s look at the context in

which Jesus is describing the unforgiveable sin. He's

talking about Satan, the strong man who steals (possesses)

souls. Note how easy it is to plunder the strong man's

property: We simply bind (tie) the strong man! (“No one

can enter a strong man's house to plunder his property

unless he first ties him up. Then he can plunder the house.”)

Jesus will soon be sending out his disciples to start

plundering, i.e., rescuing souls in the name and power of

Christ. The sins of the rescued will be forgiven. Jesus said,

“Whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will never

have forgiveness but is guilty of an everlasting sin.”

Demons blaspheme the Holy Spirit by being fully aware of

the truth while deliberately lying to us about the goodness

of the Holy Spirit, leading us, if they can, away from God.

This is unforgiveable! What about humans who believe

their sins are unforgiveable? The Catechism of the

Catholic Church (paragraph 1864) says that anyone

who deliberately refuses to repent of sin rejects

forgiveness: “Such hardness of heart can lead to final

impenitence and eternal loss.” Most people, I believe, who

think they are “unforgiveable” simply don't realize that the

truth is better. As this Sunday's first reading tells us, Adam

and Eve sinned because Satan deceived them. Every sinner

has been deceived. You and I sin when we believe a

deception, and the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Truth, is with

us to help us overcome every lie. The truth sets us free.

Questions for Personal Reflection: Looking back over

your spiritual growth through the years, when did you

overcome deceptions about God? What sin are you

struggling with today? Ask the Holy Spirit to give you a

new understanding about it.

Questions for Community Faith Sharing: Name sins that you see commonly embraced in our world

today. What truths about God do people fail to understand

in each type of sin? If they were to open themselves up to

these truths, how would it would change their minds and

their behaviors? How can we evangelize them about the

truth?© 2017 Terry Modica, Catholic Digital Resources, www.catholicdr.com.

Thoughts from the Principal Debra Traum, Principal

Today we celebrate our amazing eighth

grade class as they graduate and leave St.

Francis de Sales with a prestigious diploma

from the Catholic Diocese of Wilmington. Our alumni

consistently transition with great success into local high

school programs. These young people never forget the

childhood memories created as part of their elementary and

middle school education.

Reflection from Michele Harris

Have you ever received a gift that you never used?

Maybe it sat around the house for a little while with the

wrappings still surrounding it and little tabs of tape stuck to it.

Once the thank you note was written, expressing your

appreciation, was it ignored as it collected dust? When it didn’t

find a place in your life was it relegated to closet or in a box

under your bed or to the attic storage? Once it was out of sight,

was it also removed from your memory, forgotten? Some gifts

are like that, not really appreciated because we don’t see a

need or we can’t imagine their purpose in our lives.

This weekend our young people have received some

wonderful gifts! As they were confirmed and celebrated with

their family and friends, I am sure they were given gifts of

jewelry, books, gift cards or money to mark the special

occasion. Great as those gifts are, they don’t last forever. The

gift that was given, unseen yet powerful, was the one given by

the Bishop as he anointed each with chrism and said, “Be

sealed with the gift of the Holy Spirit.” Wow, what an

awesome gift! The gift of the Holy Spirit, given first by Christ

and now conferred upon our young people who have prepared

and who have requested to receive this amazing gift. Being

witnesses of the sacrament is a reminder to all of us who have

been confirmed to cherish the gift, never lose sight, keep it

dusted off and use it each and every day because it is needed as

we grow in faith through wisdom, understanding, counsel,

fortitude, knowledge, piety, and fear of the Lord. It is a gift

that the world needs us to fully embrace in order that we can

make a difference in the lives around us.

We embrace all who respond to God’s call to be part of a Catholic sacramental community gathered around the Eucharist and challenged to live the Gospel.

Connect to friends, the community, and God. Contact Liza Alvarado, Director of Youth Ministries

[email protected] Understanding Youth Ministry and Confirmation

Confirmation is one of the seven sacraments of the

Catholic Church and one of the three sacraments of initiation, the

other two being Baptism and Holy Communion. It enables the

faithful to be sealed with the gift of the Holy Spirit, strengthening

them in their Christian life. This year we are blessed to confirm

students that have prepared to receive this sacrament through

classes and acts of service. Pray for God to work boldly in their

lives as they are empowered by the gifts of the Holy Spirit!

How is Youth Ministry different from Confirmation?

Youth Ministry is not a sacrament nor a requirement to be

checked off at the end of the Confirmation process. It is, though,

an ongoing opportunity for young people to explore and journey

with God throughout middle and high school years. It helps

young people connect with friends, the community and God

through various events: retreats, pilgrimages, conferences, and

activities. Youth Grades 7-12 are welcome to bring friends and get involved. The Confirmation process is not required for one to

attend the Youth Ministry programs. We hope you will join us at

our next Ice Cream Social on Saturday, June 16th at 6:30 p.m. If

you are completing 6th grade and entering 7th grade next year,

come out to any of our summer events and get a jump start with

your involvement in youth ministries. We’d love to see you. Remember to bring a friend! Be sure to fill out a Release Form

found online. We also hope to see students that have been or will

be involved in Confirmation classes continue their journey of

faith with the support of youth ministries. Staying connected with

the Church should never end but become a way of life.

Upcoming Dates: Youth Music Practice

Tuesday, June 12th at 6:30 p.m. in the SFdS church. We are

preparing for a service on Saturday, June 16th. E-mail Liza if you

would like to participate.

Youth Ice Cream Social

Saturday, June 16th Mass at 5:30 p.m. and Social from 6:30

p.m. – 8:00 p.m. in the Youth Room. Come out and support our

youth playing music at Mass and then celebrate the end of the

school year! Bring a friend and an ice cream topping to share!

Caring for One Another...

The Gospel for All Ages Pat Burbage, Family Ministry

“Whoever does the will of God is brother and sister and mother to me.” Mark 3:20-35. Families are places of beginnings. Within our family, we first learn what it means to be part of a community. Our hope is that we will share a closeness and experience mutual understanding and support. We learn how to love one another,

how to ask for and receive forgiveness, and hopefully, how to apply all these lessons to the world outside our homes. As you think about your families, think about what makes your family special. Talk to your children about how your family has reacted to challenges. Have there been opportunities to learn about love, forgiveness and understanding? In this story today, Jesus wants us to understand that by doing God’s will, we are part of a bigger family. Choosing to follow Jesus, being his disciple, means we must treat one another with kindness and mercy. Conclude by asking God to bless your family and to help you do God’s will by seeing all his people with the same kind of love and compassion. Who will the Holy Spirit call? I am watching carefully for the hearts that the Spirit will touch to come forth to serve our children in their growth of faith and knowledge of God’s love. Our programs have been blessed with a wonderful array of catechists with an infinite list of gifts and talents. In the coming year we will need to fill the spots of long serving catechists and aides who have been called to other ventures. As you are reading this, give some thought to listening carefully for the call of the Holy Spirit. Everyone grows when we open our hearts to serve…and we ourselves are enriched by the Holy Spirit working in us! FAMILY BIBLE BOOT CAMP is an opportunity for families to gather for a light meal with prayer, crafts and music as we dive into Old Testament stories. Our dates for this event are Thursdays, July 12th & 26th and August 9th & 23rd from 5:30 p.m. until 7:15 p.m. in the St. Francis de Sales Church Hall.

KNIGHTWATCH!

Tempus fugit! With his second one-year

term as Grand Knight of our Council now almost –

and very successfully – completed, Charles Meenehan will pass the gavel to his successor in that office later

this month, when our newly elected officers are announced.

Beginning on July 1st those elected will serve for the fraternal

year 2018-2019, in the tradition of all who have served before

ever since 1952 when our Council received its Charter from the

Supreme Council of the Knights of Columbus. A slate of candidates for office is presently being reviewed, and will be

voted upon later this month. Once installed, the incoming Grand

Knight, with his new chair officers and key Council members,

will formulate a program of activities to keep the membership

gainfully active and busy for the duration of the new term, as the

Council continues its work in solidarity with our priests and parish, for the benefit of all. The incoming administration will

inherit a Council that is healthily committed. Its task? To keep it

so!

The Knights of Columbus, St. Francis de Sales Council

Crisis in Nicaragua This past April the President of Nicaragua issued an Executive Order that increased the

amount of money each person had to pay to their Social Security. This was the straw that

broke the camel’s back. Students began to protest and call for the resignation of Mr. Ortega.

The police responded with force and during the past 6 weeks over 60 people have died. The

Catholic Bishops (there are 10 of them) were asked to intervene as facilitators of dialogue

between the various groups.

Rolando Alvarez, bishop of Matagalpa and a member of Nicaragua’s Episcopal

Conference, said “we hope there would be a series of electoral reforms, structural changes to

the electoral authority – free, just and transparent elections, international observation without

conditions. Effectively, the democratization of the country.”

Many Nicaraguans are skeptical that the talks can bring any resolution to popular

frustrations that have been building up over years. As Ortega and his vice president and wife,

Rosario Murillo, arrived at a seminary in the capital, Managua, for the talks, critics chanted

“¡Asesino!” or “Murderer!” One student leader yelled: “We’re not here to hold a dialogue.

We are here to negotiate your departure.” In the streets, they are chanting “¡Daniel y Somoza,

son la misma cosa!,” (“Daniel and Somoza are the same thing!”)

Their frustration is justifiable. Ortega has sought to remain in power indefinitely, but

lately planned to hand the reins to his wife. But it seems now even the best authoritarian plans

can quickly unravel. Notably, the military has signaled its displeasure with the deadly

crackdown by Ortega’s police and regime militants, calling for an end to the violence – a

strong indication that they might not tolerate further wanton violence directed at civilians.

Most of the private sector, which was not consulted on the Social Security reform, has also

distanced itself from Ortega, as has the Catholic Church. In fact, the government has become

so unpopular that it has had to transport supporters into Managua to stage pro-regime counter

demonstrations.

Father Antonio of our sister parish has been interviewed regularly by the press in

Nicaragua because he has a good reputation of working with the poor and with the powerful.

He has forwarded a letter from the laity to the Bishops calling for them to strive to be neutral

in the intervention.

Father Antonio has asked all of us to keep the people of our sister parish and all of

Nicaragua in our prayers.

Crisis en Nicaragua

El pasado mes de abril, el presidente de Nicaragua emitió una orden ejecutiva que aumentó la cantidad de dinero que cada persona tenía que pagar a su seguro social. Esta fue la paja que rompió la espalda del camello. Los estudiantes empezaron a protestar y a pedir la dimisión del Sr. Ortega. La policía respondió con fuerza y durante las últimas 6 semanas más de 60 personas han muerto. Se pidió a los obispos católicos (hay 10 de ellos) que intervinieran como facilitadores del diálogo entre los distintos grupos.

Rolando Álvarez, obispo de Matagalpa y miembro de la Conferencia Episcopal de Nicaragua, dijo: “Esperamos que haya una serie de reformas electorales, cambios estructurales en la autoridad electoral – elecciones libres, justas y transparentes, observación internacional sin condiciones. Efectivamente, la democratización del país.”

Muchos nicaragüenses se muestran escépticos de que las conversaciones puedan aportar cualquier resolución a las frustraciones populares que se han ido acumulando durante años. Como Ortega y su vicepresidente y esposa, Rosario Murillo, llegaron a un seminario en la capital, Managua, para las conversaciones, los críticos corearon “¡asesino!” o “asesino!” Un líder estudiantil gritó: “no estamos aquí para mantener un diálogo. Estamos aquí para negociar su partida. En las calles, cantan”¡ Daniel y Somoza, son la misma cosa!”.

Su frustración es justificable. Ortega Ha trató de permanecer en el poder indefinidamente, pero últimamente planeaba dar las riendas a su esposa. Pero parece que ahora incluso los mejores planes autoritarios pueden desentrañar rápidamente. En particular, el ejército ha señalado su descontento con la mortífera ofensiva de la policía de Ortega y los militantes del régimen, pidiendo el fin de la violencia – una fuerte indicación de que no pueden tolerar más violencia desenfrenada dirigida a los civiles. La mayor parte del sector privado, que no fue consultado sobre la reforma de la seguridad social, también se ha distanciado de Ortega, al igual que la iglesia católica. De hecho, el gobierno se ha vuelto tan impopular que ha tenido que transportar a los simpatizantes a Managua para que efectúen manifestaciones contrarias a favor del régimen.

El Padre Antonio de nuestra parroquia hermana ha sido entrevistado regularmente por la prensa en Nicaragua porque tiene una buena reputación de trabajar con los pobres y con los poderosos. Ha enviado una carta de los laicos a los obispos que piden que se esfuercen por ser neutrales en la intervención.

El Padre Antonio nos ha pedido a todos que mantengamos a la gente de nuestra parroquia hermana y de toda Nicaragua en nuestras oraciones.
