The Readings Today
Today’s readings are about God’s unlimited mercy. In the first reading we hear about David’s repentance and God’s gifts bestowed on
him (2 Sam 12:7-10, 13). Perfection is beyond us, and, in fact, thinking we have it can lead to legalism and judgmentalism (read second
reading: Gal 2:16, 19-21). What matters is faith and repentance. No sin is too great for God’s mercy. In today’s Gospel, Jesus
acknowledges the love of the woman who washes his feet with her tears (Luke 7:36-8:3). This gives us hope, but it also reminds us to
show mercy to others.

Mon., June 13: 1 Kings 21:1-16; Matt 5:38-42
Memorial of Anthony of Padua, priest and doctor of the church
I say to you, offer no resistance to one who is evil. The Gospel isn’t
calling us to be submissive doormats for those who wish to harm us,
but to resist returning evil and violence with violent revenge.
Tues., June 14: 1 Kings 21:17-29; Matt 5:43-48
Be perfect, just as your heavenly Father is perfect. When Jesus asks
us in Matthew’s Gospel to “be perfect” our modern sensibilities hear
an unreachable goal. Ok… let us then start with what Luke’s Gospel
says: “be merciful as your Father is merciful.” Is this a more doable
invitation?
Wed., June 15: 2 Kings 2:1, 6-14; Matt 6:1-6, 16-18
Your Father who sees in secret will repay you. If God offered me
my deepest desires, and those desires would not be discernible by
others or influence their opinion of me, for what would I ask in the
secret of my heart?

Thurs., June 16: Sir 48:1-14; Matt 6:7-15
In praying, do not babble like the pagans, who think they will be
heard because of their many words. Can we put it this way: “Mean
what you say, and say what you mean!”
Fri., June 17: 2 Kings 11:1-4, 9-18, 20; Matt 6:19-23
Where your treasure is, there also will your heart be. Trust in God’s
grace and goodness is far more valuable than any physical comforts.
We must always pray that God may help us live more simply and
share generously of everything with which we are blessed.
Sat., June 18: 2 Chr 24:17-25; Matt 6:24-34
Do not worry about tomorrow; tomorrow will take care of itself.
Sufficient for a day is its own evil. I doubt today’s reading is telling
us to always live by the “Don’t worry! Be happy!” motto.
Unfortunately, we often waste a great deal of energy and sleep over
things we cannot control. We spend so much attention on worrying
about possible “what if” scenarios that we fail to recognize and
enjoy the gifts of God’s grace in front of us today.

oday is the eleventh Sunday of
Ordinary Time and our readings invite us
to reflect on sin… all of a sudden these
readings make us feel as if we were in
the middle of the Lenten season: “I
confess my faults to the LORD, and you
took away the guilt of my sin… Lord,
forgive
the
wrong
I
have
done” (responsorial Psalm).
Nonetheless, they fit nicely with the
Year of Mercy, which reminds me that
we started the year of Mercy reflecting
on Pope Francis’ invitation and we even
made a commitment to be pastorally
merciful during this time (see bulletin on
December 13th, Third Sunday of
Advent). Now we are about halfway
through the Year of Mercy. How have
we actually fulfilled what we promised?
I personally made a commitment to bring
this message into my homilies. But I
must admit that we agreed on providing
more opportunities for confession and it
has not been the case.
Eleventh Sunday, 06/12/16 | The SETON Sunday News | 3
Through my priesthood years I have
experienced this to be true of every
sincere penitent that comes to
confession. Jesus’ words strike a cord…
Those who don’t go to confession to ask
for forgiveness love little.
The purpose of the Year of Mercy for
Pope Francis is not just a one-time event.
Pope Francis desire is that we think
about our faith and our Christian life
with mercy in the background. Jesus’
mission is all about mercy through
forgiveness and healing. Mercy must be
made visible in us too if we consider
ourselves followers of Christ. I think it is
timely that we remember the prayer our
The readings today invite us to the
sacrament of reconciliation, for it is in
the celebration of this sacrament that we
experience God’s mercy. When was the

love. But the one to whom little is

Holy Father composed for the Year of
Mercy:
“Lord Jesus Christ, […] You are the
visible face of the invisible Father, of the
God who manifests his power above all
by forgiveness and mercy: let the Church
be your visible face in the world, its Lord
risen and glorified. You willed that your
ministers would also be clothed in
weakness in order that they may feel
compassion for those in ignorance and
error: let everyone who approaches
them feel sought after, loved, and
forgiven by God.
Send your Spirit and consecrate every
one of us with its anointing, so that the
Jubilee of Mercy may be a year of grace
from the Lord, and your Church, with
renewed enthusiasm, may bring good
news to the poor, proclaim liberty to
captives and the oppressed, and restore
sight to the blind.
We ask this through the intercession
of Mary, Mother of Mercy, you who live
and reign with the Father and the Holy
Spirit for ever and ever. Amen.”
My friends, let us make the shift and
begin focusing our understanding of
what it means to be a Catholic not on
judgment and condemnation, or on
trying to live up to a set of moral
standards with little flexibility. Christ is
our model and Pope Francis reminds us
of this.

As a parish we are very excited
because we start this pastoral scenario
with a very strong footing. I am
confident that this community with the
new priests arriving in July will bring the
parish family to a wonderful new growth
which will, God willing, bear abundant
fruit.

Intentional Disciples Pray
Rising very early before dawn,
Jesus left and went off to a deserted place, where he prayed.
Mark 1:35
To explore this Sunday’s topic let’s start by answering
three important questions:
 What is prayer?
 How important is prayer to you?
 What is difficult about prayer?
Jesus prayed! Have you ever stopped to think
about that? Jesus Christ, fully God and fully
human, prayed. Jesus prayed at the beginning of
his public ministry. He prayed when his ministry
got hectic. He prayed over the children. He
prayed for his disciples. Jesus prayed when the
end was near. And Jesus taught his disciples how
to pray. Few of us would argue about the
importance of prayer to the life of a disciple. Yet,
most of us recognize that our own prayer lives
could use some work. This Sunday we’ll focus on
deepening our prayer lives.
At the core of prayer is a relationship. Jesus was
in a relationship with his Father, and his prayer
was an expression of that relationship. In fact, the
Trinity is a divine relationship: three persons,
one God. If we want to understand prayer, we
have to focus on relationship. Everything we
know about relationships teaches us how to pray,
and how not to pray. For example, sometimes we
are only compelled to turn to prayer when we are
in need. Now, imagine a relationship that you
only turned to when you needed something. It
wouldn’t be much of a relationship, would it?
A Relationship requires that we bring all of
ourselves: our hopes, our dreams, our fears, and
our anxieties. Relationships require speaking and
listening, and, sometimes, simply being together.
Relationships develop over time, and deepen
through shared experience. Relationships require
time and energy, and relationships give us
renewed energy and peace, courage and
compassion.
Elizabeth Ann Seton understood this well when she
wrote: “We must pray without ceasing, in every
occurrence and employment of our lives - that prayer
which is rather a habit of lifting up the heart to God as
in a constant communication with Him.”
Once Elizabeth Ann Seton pointed out why it is hard for
us to pray. In “Mother Seton’s Last Writings,” she
directed the Sisters to LOOK UP and to remember the
presence of God in order to avoid distraction, thus she
writes:
First, it requires a constant guard over our senses What sort of interior life would you lead if every time
the door opens, or if any one passes you, you must
look up - if you must hear what is said though it does
not concern you - or if you remain silent, and in your
modest attention to your duty, what would be your
interior life, if you let your thoughts wander from
God? - I once heard a silent person say, that she was
listening to everything round her, and making her
Judas reflections on all that was said or done. - And
another, that she delighted in silence because she
could be thinking of her dear people.
We have a great saint who can direct us to prayer. In
her “Gospel of Matthew Notebook,” she directed
individuals to focus on the presence of God in their
prayers and in their mission. She emphasized that their
every action of itself would become a prayer if they
lived and acted in the presence of God:
When you are at Prayers or Adoration [of the
Blessed Sacrament], be before the tabernacle like
an angel if it was clothed with a human body – if
you could always remember your good angels
watchful care to catch your prayers and thoughts
which must be presented to God by him, and
accounted for what they are, how many distractions
it would save you - and when from spiritual
exercises you again return to duty of exterior cares .
. . every action of itself a Prayer, being done for his
glory and love, and as a penance and satisfaction for
your sins. Some happy Souls, offer hour after hour
for the souls of others, who they desire to assist in
this world or the next.
Now let’s meditate on the
following scripture passages:
 Rising very early before dawn,
Jesus left and went off to a
deserted place, where he prayed.
Mark 1:35
 Jesus went up on the mountain
by himself to pray.
Matthew 14:23a
 Then children were brought to
Jesus that he might lay his hands
on them and pray.
Matthew 19:13a
said to his disciples, "Sit here
while I go over there and pray."
He took along Peter and the two
sons of Zebedee, and began to
feel sorrow and distress. Then he
said to them, "My soul is
sorrowful even to death. Remain
here and keep watch with me."
He advanced a little and fell
prostrate in prayer, saying, "My
Father, if it is possible, let this
cup pass from me; yet, not as I
will, but as you will."
Matthew 26:36-39
 The report about Jesus spread all  Therefore I tell you, all that you

Final reflection questions:
LET’S MAKE IT HAPPEN...
What struggles do you have in your prayer life?
 Do you bring your desire to prayer?
 Do you seek to know God’s desire in prayer?
Jesus, let us hear your call anew.
Bless us with the courage to respond.
Clear away all barriers.
Send your Holy Spirit and
make us your disciples.

no es simplemente de un momento. El

Las lecturas de hoy nos invitan al

es al celebrar este sacramento que
experimentamos la misericordia de Dios.

Jesús a Simón son muy bonitas:

entendimiento de qué significa ser
católico no en juicios y acusaciones, o en

Love for Jesus in the Eucharist
—————Fr. Mario Rodriguez, MSpS—————
Last week, as I was celebrating the Eucharist, I had an inspiration and a profound experience. During the
Homily I had talked about Jesus touching the widow’s son, and the young man coming back to life. This man who
was dead, had come back to life by the power of Jesus; he was again active among the people who loved him. Jesus
has the power of giving life and help us LIVE deeply. And I was at the moment of Consecration meditating that the
same Jesus who had touched that young man was now touching me. I was touching Jesus in His Body and His
Blood, but in reality I was the one being touched by Him. Jesus Himself touches us when we receive Him, and it HE
who comes to bring healing to us from all our wounds. In the Eucharist we experience again the God of life and the
giver of strength so we can fight. He is the god of HOPE, who walks with us and never leaves us alone.
It is Jesus Himself who touches every man and woman who has an encounter with HIM. And I was reminded
of something Fr. Felix used to say “Our spirit should be, then, a spirit of love towards the Eucharistic Jesus. Let us
always keep our hearts inside the Tabernacle, next to the heart of fire of our Jesus, so our heart can also be all fire
and all love. We must profess a passionate love for our Jesus in the Eucharist.”
I invite you to have an encounter with Jesus in the
Eucharist and recognize that you are a sinful human
being, like me, and in much need of Jesus’ love.
Recognize your need to be touched and transformed by
Jesus Christ. Devote more time to prayer and to
spending time with Him.
Amor a Jesus Eucaristía
La semana pasada mientras estaba celebrando la
Eucaristía, me llegó un pensamiento y una experiencia
muy profunda. En la Homilía había hablado de Jesús
que tocaba al hijo de una mujer y éste resucitaba. Este
hombre que estaba muerto, por el poder de Jesús había
regresado a la vida; estaba de nuevo activo entre los que lo amaban. Jesús tiene el poder de dar la vida y de hacer
VIVIR profundamente. Y yo estaba en la consagración pensando que ese Jesús que había tocado a ese joven, era el
mismo que me tocaba a mí. Yo estaba tocando a Jesús en su cuerpo y en su sangre, pero en realidad yo estaba
siendo tocado por Él. Jesús es quien nos toca cuando lo recibimos y es ÉL quien viene a sanarnos de todas nuestras
heridas. En la Eucaristía volvemos a experimentar al Dios de la vida y de la fuerza para luchar. Es el Dios de la
ESPERANZA quien camina con nosotros y no nos abandona.
Es Jesús quien toca a todo hombre y mujer que se encuentra con ÉL. Y me hizo recordar el texto del P. Félix
que nos decía: “El espíritu nuestro, pues, es un espíritu de amor a Jesús Sacramentado. Guardemos constantemente
nuestro corazón en el Sagrario, junto al Corazón de fuego de nuestro Jesús, para que también sea todo fuego y
amor. Debemos tener un amor muy apasionado por nuestro Jesús en la Eucaristía”.
Te invito a encontrarte con Jesús en la Eucaristía y reconocerte, como yo, un ser humano pecador y necesitado
del amor de Jesús. Reconoce tu necesidad de ser tocado y transformado por Cristo Jesús. Dale más tiempo a la
oración y al estar con él.
A WAITING HARVEST
Vocation Awareness
HE HAS A JOB that puts him in touch with dozens of inter esting people
each week: He smiles over coffee while a 95- year-old woman reminisces about
her first date in 1920; he discusses Marxism with a world-class philosopher after
a lecture.
Each day when he gets out of bed, he knows his work will make a difference.
People knock on his door when they learn their spouses are sick, even dying.
When they don’t have the money to buy winter coats for their small children. Or
when their parents have kicked them out of the house.
He does his best to do something for them all, but he gets back even more.
This is not a thankless job. Real appreciation is expressed in hugs, smiles and
simple thankyous.
His co-workers are well-trained and knowledgeable in their fields. And they
are supportive, never competitive. They laugh a lot with him. Sometimes they
cry with him. But they are always caring.
This job has brought out in him all sorts of hidden talents. He hadn’t known
what a flair he had for public speaking; now, after every talk, there are pats on
the back. He hadn’t known how much he liked children; now hundreds of kids
know he’s ticklish behind the knees. This is not a dead-end job. He is learning
every day.
He is a priest. Does his job sound good to you?

The emptiness of Me, Myself and I part 2 of 2
by Leah Murphy (taken from www.LifeTeen.com)
When Single Life Becomes a Chance to Learn Selfless Life
Happiness, ultimately, is found in relationship — first in
relationship with God and second in relationship with people.
God, who in His Trinitarian essence (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit
participating in an eternal exchange of Love; see CCC 253-260),
is relationship, made us in His divine image, so that we might
know the authentic joy that it is to give ourselves away.
There are three important things we can and should do in order
to avoid this effect of selfish singleness:
1. Know that authentic happiness comes from a relationship
with God, so seek Him before all else. Sure, other events,
possessions, and experiences might allow us to feel good
momentarily, but authentic happiness that persists, even when
things don’t always feel good, is found in an authentic pursuit of a
relationship with God.
2. Make real, selfless commitments because one day, if you
have any interest in being in any kind of serious relationship with
another person, you’re going to need to know what it means to be
courageous enough to commit. Maybe you make a weekly
commitment to volunteer at a soup kitchen, or commit to playing
with your younger siblings for an hour each day, or commit to
waking up ten minutes earlier than you need to so you can spend
that time in prayer… There are infinite opportunities to be selfless
and it’s in committing to these opportunities that we can let our
time as single people be a time to grow; this is because when we
make these commitments, we’re making them, not out of a
preexisting obligation (we’re single and we technically don’t need
to commit anything to anyone), but because we genuinely want to
give of ourselves.
3. Share in your dating friends’ joy! It can be so easy as a single
person, to believe that our friends who are dating or in serious
relationships are no longer able to participate in normal
friendships with us. But that’s just simply not true — sure our
friendships with them might take on a different look, but we can
still share in the joy our friends find in their relationships; and
why wouldn’t we want a little more joy in our lives?!
Thank you for another wonderful year!
There are no more sessions until the fall!!

I know that being single is a
truly
exciting,
thrilling,
confusing, and sometimes lonely
experience. BUT even more than
that, it is undoubtedly a time for
growth, as we grow into who we
are as individuals — doing and
experiencing the things we want
— and also as we grow into what
it means to be made in God’s
image — giving ourselves away
in relationship with God and with
others.
Trust me, I’m the first to admit
that it can be tempting to buy into
the “me, myself, and I” anthem
and get carried away with taking
care of me and only me. But
refusing to want or need anyone else and chasing after all of the
fake, shiny things that we want in the name of singlehood, while
losing sight of the goodness of relationship will only lead us
through a cycle of artificial highs and very lonely lows. Don’t
waste this time getting caught up in selfishness and bitterness.
Use your single time to become the person you were made to be
— a person that is free from all selfishness, free from all
bitterness, and free to authentically love. #LiveSingleWell

HAPPENING Here and elsewhere
Fifth Month of Developing Baby
Spiritual Adoption Program:
Your
spiritually adopted baby weighs over 1
pound now, and his mother can feel his
movement. Before this time, he was too
small for her to feel. Although he swam
with ease in his watery world, he needed
to be big and strong enough to kick hard against the outside wall
and dent it - - the inside wall of the uterus has little feeling. We
are mid-way through the pregnancy now. Your prayers have
helped your baby’s mother continue with her pregnancy and seek
the help she needs.
Starting Tuesday, June 14 SEAS Pro-Life will be hosting the
pro-life rosary every Tuesday at noon in the church during
the summer. Everybody welcome.
Prayer Vigil: We invite you to join us in a pro-life effort to put an
end to abortion. We will be gathering for a PRAYER VIGIL every
third Saturday of EACH month in front of Planned Parenthood in
Everett from 8:30 am to 10:00 am. Next Prayer Vigil will be
Saturday, June 18. We also encourage you to first attend Mass at
7:30 at St. Mary Magdalen parish in Everett: 8517 7th Ave SE,
Everett, WA 98208. See you there.
Contact Karen Salvati at (425) 327-8700 if you have questions
and/or are interested in volunteering with our pro-life group.
Your parish is here to assist you and your family as you
go through difficult transitions and losses. Don’t hesitate to
call on us for support and assistance. Help us do what Pope
Francis asks of us “to become involved by word and deed in
people’s daily lives’ and be ‘supportive, standing by people
every step of the way.’ (The Joy of the Gospel)
