Lord Jesus Christ, you have taught us to be merciful like the
heavenly Father, and have told us that whoever sees you sees
Him. Show us your face and we will be saved. Your loving gaze
freed Zacchaeus and Matthew from being enslaved by money;
the adulteress and Magdalene from seeking happiness only in
created things; made Peter weep after his betrayal, and
assured Paradise to the repentant thief. Let us hear, as if
addressed to each one of us, the words that you spoke to the
Samaritan woman: "If you knew the gift of God!"
OBRAS ESPIRITUALES
DE MISERICORDIA
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.
▪ Enseñar al que no sabe
▪ Dar buen consejo al que

▪ Corregir al que se equivoca
▪ Perdonar las injurias

difuntos
CORPORAL
WORKS OF MERCY
Pope Francis
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.

Change in Friday Afternoon Mass
Effective July 29th, the Friday weekday Mass at Holy Redeemer Church
will be celebrated at 7:00 pm in Spanish, rather than being bi-lingual at 5:15.
This change is made to acknowledge the population of our parish —
as we now have substantially more people at the 3 Spanish Masses each
weekend than at the 4 English Masses. While we have had at least 10
weekday Masses in English here at our parish, we have had a single
weekday Mass in Spanish only during Lent.
The change is further urged by the fact that there are over a dozen
Masses in English available in Madison on most days, while the city has
lacked any regular weekday Mass in Spanish. And finally, a Mass in
Spanish is a much better use of Fr. José Luis’ abilities — any priest is
most effective celebrating Mass and preaching in his native language.
 ABOUT OUR PARISH 
The Cathedral Parish of St. Raphael was formed on July 1, 2008 by the
merger of three historic parishes that were established within a few
blocks of the Capitol Square during the nineteenth century.
The buildings of two of those historic parishes – Holy Redeemer and
St. Patrick – provide the current facilities for the Cathedral Parish.
Both churches are in use daily. The parish rectory is at the Holy Redeemer site, while the offices are at the St. Patrick location.
Old St. Raphael Cathedral was destroyed by arson in 2005. Bishop
Morlino has announced his intention to erect a new cathedral church
on the same site (at West Main and Fairchild). Until then, an outdoor
Way of the Cross adorns that site.
If this is your parish home and you have not yet registered as a member
of the Cathedral Parish, please do one of the following:
• ask Msgr. Holmes or an usher for a Registration Form today; or
• contact the parish office ([email protected] or 2575000) to request a Registration Form; or
• register online at www.isthmuscatholic.org.

Sixteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time
July 17, 2016
 FROM THE RECTOR 
Dear Friends in Christ:
This past week, our parish welcomed groups of young people working
with Love Begins Here, a summer project of the Youth Ministry program in the diocesan Office of Evangelization and Catechesis. The program began in
2009 with 56 missionaries — last year 600
missionaries were involved.
To date
48,000 hours were donated to those in
need—materially and spiritually—in our
Diocese.
On Tuesday, four middle school students –
Haven, Pete, Maria and Renee – under the
direction of Jason Kopp – worked at the
cathedral site where we currently have the
outdoor Way of the Cross. They did a
great deal of mulching and some watering
on a very hot and humid day. Special thanks to parishioner Leon
Blanchard, who oversees gardening at the site, for working with the
young people both on Tuesday and Thursday last week.
This past week was a great time to get work done up at the cathedral
site since just at the end of the preceding week, we had a number of
new trees put in to replace those that had died. The winter after the
original plantings went in was a very hard one – lots of snow. All over
the city, rabbits resorted to eating the bark on trees to survive. The
great number of young trees at the cathedral site were an especially
tempting target, and a great number of them were fatally damaged.
They leafed out for one more year, but they were doomed. In the replanting, a number of shorter, flowering trees were replaced by linden
trees that will grow taller and give nice shade. There are still a couple
more trees due to be planted at the site, which were not available until
next month, so there will be a further upgrade as well.
On Wednesday, another group from Love Begins Here came to give the
rectory windows a long overdue cleaning. Many thanks to Megan,
Rory, Kimberly, Rebecca and Anna, under the direction of their leaders
Anna Grogan and Kristin Wilkinson. Their good work has made our
venerable rectory notably brighter. Downtown Madison is a really
grimy environment – not nearly as bad as it was when everyone was
burning coal and leaded gasoline, but still bad enough.
Thanks to Jared Konkel, summer employee at the parish, who helped
both days to see that our middle school volunteers had all the materials
they needed, and who supervised the window washing project at the
rectory.
As we go to press, we are still expecting to welcome a final Love Begins
Here team on Thursday. The plan is that they will do weeding and a
little more sprucing up at the cathedral site – on what promises to be a
more pleasant day. We don’t yet know who those young people will
be, but thanks to them as well!
Msgr. Kevin D. Holmes

asks, “Are we seeking freedom from, or
freedom for? And Who is the icon and
guarantor of this freedom?” You’ll find his thoughts in his latest Moment
of Truth blog: What Does it Truly Mean to be Free? A second blog probes
the challenges of forming a conscience in our culture: Garbage in, Garbage

Theology on Tap—July 28th
Join us for our next TOT on Thursday, July 28th, 7:00 pm at the Brink
Lounge when Katie Behrens will present Faith and Fairy Tales: The Role of
Imagination & Creativity in Catholicism.
J. R.R. Tolkien, C. S. Lewis, G. K. Chesterton—some of the greatest
Christian writers of the modern age had a profound love of myth and
“fairy stories”. What role did the fantastic play for these and other writers of faith and how can it enrich our lives today? In this month’s TOT,
Katie Behrens will explore the potential of imagination, wonder, and
what Tolkien called “sub-creation” in the Catholic Life. Katie is an English teacher at St. Ambrose Academy in Madison.

 AÑO DE LA MISERICORDIA 
En la oración: el Amor es el que habla
Esta frase del libro de la vida de Santa Teresa nos ayuda a comprender
lo que es la oración. Ella encuentra en Toledo a un Padre dominico conocido que no ve desde hace mucho tiempo. Le cuenta bajo secreto de confesión todo lo que le pasa a su alma y las penas
sufridas por la reforma del Carmelo.
El religioso la escucha, la consuela y le pide
que no deje de pedir por él. Teresa, agradecida,
confía al Señor el alma de este sacerdote. Ella va
al lugar a donde solía orar y allí se queda "muy
recogida, con un estilo "abovado" que muchas
veces, sin saber lo que digo, trato". Y añade: "que
es el amor que habla" (Libro de la Vida, 34, 8).
Orar es dejar que hable el amor. ¡Cuántas
veces le tenemos miedo al amor, no dejamos
que el amor hable! Sino que preferimos que hable sólo nuestra razón o nuestra mera capacidad
humana de entender las cosas. Muchas veces
reprimimos el amor como si fuera muestra de debilidad como si también
en la oración tuviéramos que demostrar los fuertes e inteligentes que
somos. Sin embargo la oración, sin dejar impedirnos usar nuestro entendimiento, es el momento explayar el corazón, y de dejar que el Amor
divino nos inunde y nos queme con sus rayos. En una sociedad más racionalista y secularizada, nos da vergüenza de liberar la parte más noble
de nosotros mismos, nuestra capacidad de amar y ser amados. Y vivimos
como mutilados, no respirando a pleno pulmón, caminando sólo al ritmo
que nos permite nuestras convenciones humanas o nuestro miedo de
amar demasiado.
Orar, "es el amor que habla". Santa Teresa cuenta que, dejando al religioso, comenzó a hablar con Dios con toda sencillez, como ella solía hacer, dejando que el amor hablase. No sólo el amor que su alma nutría
hacia Dios, sino también "comprendiendo el amor que Dios le tiene a
ella". La oración usa un lenguaje de amor. Y el lenguaje de amor es especial, es único, tiene su lógica, su gramática y su sintaxis. Lo entienden los
que aman. Basta un gesto, una mirada, un movimiento, una sonrisa. Dejemos que el amor hable en nosotros. Dejemos que el Amor nos hable.
Dejémonos conducir por el Espíritu Santo que es la persona de la Trinidad que es el Amor del Padre al Hijo y del Hijo al Padre.
Cuando aprendamos el lenguaje del amor que nos enseña el Espíritu
Santo, lenguaje hecho de sencillez y espontaneidad, que cualquiera que
tenga un corazón puede aprender, entonces comprenderemos que la oración no es sino un ejercicio de amor, es una expresión de amor, es un
grito de amor, es una súplica de amor.
La mística Teresa continua diciendo que el Amor que Dios tiene al alma hace que ésta se olvide de sí y "le parece está en Él". Nada la separa
de Él. La sencillez del amor logra el mejor estado de unión. Entonces el
alma orante "habla desatinos". Comienza a usar el lenguaje más elevado
y puro, el lenguaje del amor, porque, como diría San Juan de la Cruz, "ya
sólo en amar es mi ejercicio" (Cántico Espiritual, 95).

Hora Santa y Misa
¡Que hermosos detalles tiene el Señor para nosotros! ¡Como nos demuestra su amor! Esta viernes 29 de julio es un día de Fiesta Espiritual:
1. Hora Santa de Adoración—6:00 pm. Estar en adoración, ante el
Santísimo Sacramento, es una oportunidad espiritual que cambia
nuestra vida y nuestro corazón.
2. Misa de Viernes—7:00 pm. Comenzamos las Misas en español, y se
llevarán a cabo todos los viernes para comenzar. Ahora que tenemos la oportunidad de asistir a la Misa durante la semana, digamos
“Sí” a Jesús, y vengamos a participar de Su Santo Sacrificio de
Amor por nosotros. Recordemos lo que le dijo la Santísima Virgen
Maria al beato Alain de La Roche op: “Mi Hijo ama tanto a quienes
asisten al Santo Sacrificio de la Misa, que, si fuera necesario, él mo
riría por ellos tantas veces por cuantas veces han participado en la
Santa Misa.”
Invitación Especial para Adultos Jóvenes
Este fin de semana, Rhiannon Buehler esta en todas las Misas en español invitando a adultos jóvenes (de 20 y 30 años) a ser parte del equipo
de deportes de la Parroquia de la Catedral. Si gustan pueden enviarle
un correo a [email protected].
El equipo compite contra equipos de otras parroquias Católicas en la
“Liga de deportes de Lunes por la Noche.” Los juegos se llevan a cabo
en el campo de atrás del Bishop O'Connor Center. Todos los equipos son
mixtos de hombres y mujeres. ¡El 25 de julio, 1 de agosto y 8 de agosto, la
competencia será futbol!
Renovación de Votos Matrimoniales
El matrimonio es uno de los compromisos mas importantes de tu vida.
Un día tu y tu pareja se dieron el “Sí” ante Dios y los hombres. Un Sí
que dura para siempre ante toda circunstancia, hasta que la muerte los
separe. Es por ese motivo que la renovación de votos matrimoniales es
necesaria para recordar qué fue lo que unió a la pareja y cuales fueron
todas aquellas promesas que se dijeron frente al altar.
Las parejas que tengan de 1 a 50 años o mas de casados por la iglesia
comuníquense a la oficina parroquial para anotarlos y posteriormente
tendrán una charla. La Renovación matrimonial será el 10 de diciembre.
Oración a la Virgen del Carmen
Virgen santísima del Carmen; yo deseo que todos sin excepción se cobijen bajo la sombra protectora de tu santo Escapulario, que todos estén unidos a Ti, Madre mía, por los estrechos y amorosos lazos de esta
tu querida Insignia. ¡Oh hermosura del Carmelo! Míranos postrados
reverentes ante tu sagrada imagen, y concédenos benigna tu amorosa
protección. Te recomiendo las necesidades de nuestro Santísimo Padre, el Papa, y las de la Iglesia Católica, nuestra Madre, así como las de
mi nación y las de todo el mundo, las mías propias y las de mis parientes y amigos. Mira con ojos de compasión a tantos pobres pecadores,
herejes y cismáticos como ofenden a tu divino Hijo, y a tantos infieles
como gimen en las tinieblas del paganismo. Que todos se conviertan y
te amen, Madre mía, como yo deseo amarte ahora y por toda la eternidad. Así sea.
