Pontian and Hippolytus Friday: St. Maximilian Kolbe Saturday: Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary THE BEGINNING OF EVERYTHING Everyone recognizes the truth of good proverbs, and so they endure from generation to generation. The Russians have a surprisingly bold one that fits this Sunday’s Gospel: “Bread is the beginning of everything.” Judging from the first reading, Elijah might have felt that it was too late for bread—too late for life itself. This great prophet was at the end of his rope and endurance. Then, not one, but two angels visit him. One offers food and drink. The other gives startling directions. For Elijah, this food from the angels is bread for his journey. On the strength of the heaven sent gift of food, he walks to the mountain of God. In today’s Gospel, Jesus offers himself, not just as bread for the journey, but as bread for life itself. He gives his flesh as life for the world. “I am the bread of life” (John 6:48). He is the beginning of everything. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

Everyone seems to stretch toward the old ideal of “Sunday best” for these moments. In our tradition, clothing is immensely important. Coming out of the baptismal water, we are immediately vested with a white garment. “You have clothed yourself in Christ,” the new Christian is told, and a white garment is the token of being born into God’s family. Sadly, this is the last time most Christians wear this garb until their funeral, when the family spreads a pall as a reminder of of baptismal identity. Increasingly today, we are seeing the alb as the proper garb for liturgical ministers, men and women. In ancient Rome, sleeveless tunics of varying colors were worn by everyone, and so at baptism the new Christians could be expected to wear their new garb under their everyday clothes. Sleeves were a problem for ancient Romans, who thought they were a barbarian fashion. As is so often the case, eventually the barbarians won the day, and by the third century the long-sleeved garment worn by ministers today was familiar liturgical garb. —Rev. James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co. Nineteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time August 9, 2015 Page 6 Pope Francis Speaks to Families From Pope Francis Speaks to Families, Words of Joy and Life. The WORD among us ARE YOU PRAYING? My question to you is this: “Are you praying?” Do you know that you can speak with Jesus, with the Father, with the Holy Spirit as you speak to a friend? And not just any friend, but the greatest and most trusted of your friends!. . . Once again I invite you to encounter the Lord by frequently reading sacred Scripture. If you are not already in the habit of doing so, begin with the Gospels. Read a line or two each day. Let God’s word speak to your heart and enlighten your path (cf. Psalm 119:105). You will discover that God can be “seen” also in the faces of your brothers and sisters, especially those who are most forgotten: the poor, the hungry, those who thirst, strangers, the sick, those imprisoned (cf. Matthew 25:31-46). Have you ever had this experience? Dear young people, in order to enter into the logic of the kingdom of heaven, we must recognize that we are poor with the poor. A pure heart is necessarily one which has been stripped bare, a heart that knows how to bend down and share its life with those most in need. Encountering God in prayer, the reading of the Bible, and in the fraternal life will help you better to know the Lord and yourselves. Like the disciples on the way to Emmaus (cf. Luke 24:1335), the Lord’s voice will make your hearts burn within you. He will open your eyes to recognize his presence and to discover the loving plan he has for your life.

Laguna Beach Decimonoveno Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario 9 de agosto de 2015 Page 9 Lecturas y Noticias TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE EL COMIENZO DE TODO Durante los últimos años, la Iglesia católica en los Estados Unidos de América ha reconocido un poco más la presencia hispana. Por tal motivo, muchos músicos han compuesto cantos bilingües, en inglés y español. Por ejemplo, el cantautor Bob Hurd, quien escribió el canto: “Pan de vida, cuerpo del Señor”. Este himno, basado en Gálatas 2:3 y Juan 6:35, mezcla el español con el inglés para hablar de que todos somos uno en el cuerpo del Señor. No hay raza, género humano o condición social que sea mejor o peor que la otra. En Cristo todos podemos estar unidos en servicio mutuo, amor y humildad. Para la jerarquía de la Iglesia católica en Estados Unidos, este mensaje es de suma importancia porque a veces le cuesta trabajo compartir su liderazgo con los que no son angloparlantes. Como comunidad hispana, nos corresponde desafiar con amor a la Iglesia jerárquica de este país para que sea más fiel al pan de vida, hecho de múltiples granos de trigo, cada uno de valor inestimable ante los ojos de Dios. Todo el mundo reconoce la verdad de los buenos proverbios, y por eso perduran de generación en generación. Los rusos tienen uno sorprendentemente audaz que le pega al Evangelio de este domingo: “El pan es el comienzo de todo”. De acuerdo a la primera lectura, puede ser que Elías sintiera que era demasiado tarde para ser pan –demasiado tarde para la vida misma. Este gran profeta estaba ya al final de sus fuerzas y de su aguante. Entonces no uno, sino dos ángeles lo visitan. Uno le ofrece comida y bebida. El otro le da unas sorprendentes instrucciones. Para Elías esta comida de los ángeles es pan para su camino. Fortalecido por este regalo celestial de comida, él sigue su camino a la montaña de Dios. En el Evangelio de hoy, Jesús se ofrece a sí mismo, no sólo como pan para el camino, sino como pan para la vida misma. Él da su carne para dar vida al mundo. “Yo soy el pan de vida” (Juan 6:48). Él es el comienzo de todo. —Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
