Jack Long 16th Sunday in Ordinary Time Parish Directory © Liturgical Publications Inc PARISH OFFICE 763-421-2471 "Martha, Martha, you are anxious and worried about many things. There is need of only one thing." Martha was caught up in a whirlwind of her own making. She stressed herself out with all the tasks and chores she thought she had to do to host Jesus, but Jesus wasn't the one who expected all of that. He just wanted Martha's presence, her company and friendship. His only expectation was that Martha would prepare for him her heart, but she was fixated on preparing her home instead. How often do we create a similar whirlwind in our lives? How often do we fixate on external details, on making a good impression, on having all appearances looking just so, but forget what really matters? How often do we make ourselves "anxious and worried" about all we think we have to do? In today's Gospel Jesus calls us to stop the frenetic activity of our lives, to pause and listen, imitating Mary "who sat beside the Lord at his feet listening to him speak." This can seem impossible. We look at our calendars and our to-do lists and cannot find a single slot in which to squeeze quiet prayer or silent spiritual listening. But Jesus asks us to reorganize our priorities. He tells us, "There is need of only one thing." Really, Jesus? Have you seen our lists!? What can we possibly eliminate? Don't we need to do all of this? The Lord says no. What we need to do is to make time to be with him. The same Lord who turned water into wine and fed five thousand men with five loaves of bread and two fish can also multiply our time. So instead of being like Martha who tried to tell Jesus what to do - "Tell her to help me" - let's be like Mary who listened to what Jesus had to say.

Please RSVP to Amanda Lutes: [email protected]; 763-712-7458. Those who might be considering the ministry of Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion are encouraged to contact Amanda as well. Ministers are always needed for all Masses here. Anyone interested in serving will be put in touch with one of the priests for a meeting. If that person discerns that they are ready to serve after this meeting, one of the priests will have a formal commissioning session for them. This commissioning session usually takes place after one of the weekend Masses. Then the new minister will be paired with an experienced minister for some mentoring and training. New ministers will be encouraged to attend the trainings in August as well. Persons who have been appointed to be Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion are necessarily to be duly instructed and should distinguish themselves by their Christian life, faith and morals. Let them strive to be worthy of this great office; let them cultivate devotion to the Holy Eucharist and show themselves as an example of piety and reverence for this Most Holy Sacrament of the altar.

Kids’ Corner Luke 10:38-42 5 Pastoral Care A Reflection Please Pray for... Sr. Mary Anne Schaenzer Today’s first reading from Genesis 18:1-10A, regarding the visit of the three men to Abraham, always reminds me of an experience I had a little over 15 years ago when I was spending some time in Israel. On a Sunday I went over to Jerusalem (from Bethany where we were staying) and walked into a shop which carried beautiful art works. When I had been in the area with others in our group there was never a sense that people wanted to go in and look around, so I went over by myself. As I walked into the shop in Old Jerusalem the owner greeted me. I explained to him that I could not buy anything in his shop but that I would just like to come in and look around and would that be all right. He invited me in to look around. A few minutes later a woman came out with a tray with glasses of water. I took one. I enjoyed it as I walked around admiring the art. Then she came out again. This time she had a tray with coffee on it. I tried to explain that I did not intend to buy anything (I felt that they were encouraging me to buy by bringing these beverages to me). As it turned out she did not speak English and she left to find the owner. The owner came out and asked me if there were a problem. I repeated that I had said that I did not want to buy anything, I just wanted to look, but she kept bringing things to me. He looked at me and said, “You don’t have to buy anything. This is my hospitality. When the angels came to Abraham and he fed them, he was not asking them to buy anything. He was offering them hospitality. I am offering hospitality to you. If I come to visit you, you can offer hospitality to me.” Sometimes God is just offering hospitality to us – God doesn’t expect us to buy something. God has chosen to make known riches to us: Christ in us, the hope for glory (Col 1:27). And Jesus asks us to not only work and serve him but to be with him (Lk 10:38-42). We don’t earn the gifts God gives us. We only need to receive them. Be Renewed By God's Mercy Pope Francis said, "Let's not forget that God forgives and God forgives always." If you or someone you love is grieving the loss of a child or children to abortion, come and experience the compassionate mercy of Jesus Christ on our weekend retreat. Rachel’s Vineyard Twin Cities' retreats are open to anyone impacted by abortion - women, men, grandparents, siblings, and health care professionals. The next retreat is August 5-7 in the Twin Cities area. For more information contact Nancy at rachels@ rvineyardmn.org, call 763-250-9313, or see www.rvineyardmn.org.

Se necesita una sola cosa.” Marta se atorró en sus asuntos propios. Se estresó con todos los quehaceres que ella pensaba que tenía que hacer para ser una anfitriona para Jesús, pero Jesús no estaba esperando todo esto. El solo quería la presencia de ella, su compañía y su Amistad. Su única expectativa fue que Marta le iba a preparar su corazón de ella, pero ella se fijaba en preparar su casa. ¿Cuántas veces lo hacemos así nosotros en nuestras vidas? ¿Qué tan frecuentemente nos fijamos en los detalles externas, en hacer una buena impresión, en parecer de cierta manera, pero nos olvidamos que es importante de verdad? ¿Qué tan frecuentemente nos ponemos ansiosos y preocupados de todo lo que tenemos que hacer? En el Evangelio de hoy, Jesús nos llama a parar la actividad frenética de nuestras vidas, para pausar y escuchar, imitando a María, que se sentó a los pies del Señor, escuchando sus palabras. Esto puede parecer imposible. Miramos nuestros calendarios y nuestras listas de cosas que hay que hacer y no encontramos ningún momentito para meter oración en solitud, o para escuchar espiritualmente. Pero Jesús nos invita a reorganizar a nuestras prioridades. Nos dice que hay una sola cosa. ¿De verdad, Jesús? ¿Has visto nuestras listas? ¿Qué podemos eliminar? ¿No es que tenemos que hacer todo esto?” El Senor nos dice que no. Lo que tenemos que hacer es hacer tiempo para El. El mismo Señor que convirtió el agua en vino y dio de comer a cinco mil hombres con cinco panes y dos pescados también puede multiplicar nuestro tiempo. En lugar de ser como Marta, diciendo a Jesús lo que El tenía que hacer (cuando ella dijo “Dile a ella que me ayude”), vamos a ser como María, escuchando lo que Jesús tiene que decir.

Siempre me acuerda de una experiencia que tuve hace más de 15 años, en Israel. Un domingo, me fue a Jerusalén, caminando a una tienda donde vendía arte muy bonita. Al entrar en la tienda, el dueño me saludó, y yo le explique que no podía comprar nada en su tienda, pero simplemente me gustaría entrar y mirar el arte, si estuviera bien. Me invitó a pasar. Después de unos momentos una señora se acercó con una charola con vasos con agua. Tomé uno, mientras que veía el arte. Después se acercó de nuevo, ahora con una charola con tazas de café. Trate de explicar que no podía comprar nada, porque pensé que ella me estaba ofreciendo todo eso, para que yo comprara algo. Me di cuenta que ella no hablaba inglés y ella se fue a buscar al dueño. El dueño me preguntó si había un problema. Le dije que no iba a comprar nada, que solo quería mirar, pero que la señora seguía ofreciéndome cosas. El me miro y me dijo, “No tienes que comprar nada. Esto es mi hospitalidad. Cuando los ángeles aparecieron a Abraham, y el los dio de comer, él no estaba esperando que ellos compraran nada. Abraham estaba ofreciendo la hospitalidad. Yo estoy ofreciendo la hospitalidad. Si te voy a visitar, me puedes ofrecer la hospitalidad a mí.” A veces Dios está ofreciendo simplemente la hospitalidad a nosotros. No espera que compremos algo. Él ha escogido revelar las riquezas a nosotros. Cristo en nosotros, la esperanza de la Gloria (Col 1:27). Y Jesús no solo pide que sirvamos a él, pero que estemos con él (Lk 10:38-42). No ganamos los dones que nos da Dios. Solo tenemos que recibirlos. Sean Renovados por La Misericordia de Dios El Papa Francisco dijo, “Que no olvidemos que Dios perdona, y siempre perdona.” Si tú, o alguien que amas esta de sufriendo por la pérdida de un hijo o hijos por el aborto provocado, vengan a experimentar la misericordia y compasión de Jesús, en un retiro de un fin de semana. Rachel’s Vineyard Twin Cities' retreats son para todos afectados por el aborto provocado: mujeres, hombres, abuelos, hermanos y personas que trabajan en el área de salud. El próximo retiro es el 5-7 de agosto, en el área de Las Ciudades Gemelas. 16 ° domingo del tiempo ordinario “... Yo soy un ministro, de acuerdo con el encargo de Dios que me ha dado de anunciar la palabra de Dios.” Colosenses 1:25 Lo creas o no, todos estamos llamados a evangelizar - a crecer continuamente en nuestro conocimiento y relación con Jesús y compartirlo con otros. Podemos no ser llamados a evangelizar como San Pablo, pero deberíamos buscar oportunidades para compartir nuestra Fe con quienes tenemos más cerca, como nuestra familia y amigos. ¿Estas Buscando un Empleo Tranquilo?
