Eighteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time
HITTING IT BIG
It seems to be commonly accepted nowadays that everyone wants to win the lottery, hit the slots big at the casino, or
be a millionaire. This attitude is akin to what the first hearers of the parable of the successful farmer would have thought:
Why, of course he’d want to find a way to preserve his good fortune for the future, to secure for himself a life of leisure,
eating, drinking, and merriment. It’s exactly the kind of life that the right ticket, hand of cards, or quiz show answer
might bring us today. Being surrounded by this “common wisdom” makes the words of Qoheleth, the psalmist, Paul, and
Jesus all that much harder to hear today. Perhaps good fortune will be ours, perhaps it will not be. But if we make that
fortune or the quest for it the heart, the very center, of our lives, then we will live to regret it. We will not achieve the
future security we pursue, and we will lose the present moment in the chase.

TODAY’S READINGS
First Reading — Do not spend your life toiling for material gain (Ecclesiastes 1:2; 2:21-23).
Psalm — If today you hear his voice, harden not your hearts (Psalm 90).
Second Reading — Christ has raised you to new life, so seek now what is above (Colossians 3:1-5, 9-11).
Gospel — Be on guard against all greed, for your life does not consist of earthly possessions, but of the riches of the
reign of God (Luke 12:13-21).

EL PREMIO MAYOR
Parece cosa comúnmente aceptada hoy día que todo el mundo quiere ganarse la lotería, ganar en el casino o ser
millonario. Esta actitud es similar a la de los primeros oyentes de la parábola del agricultor próspero que pensarían:
Por supuesto. Él tenía que buscar la manera de preservar su buena fortuna para el futuro, para asegurarse una vida
muelle, comiendo, bebiendo y gozando. Es exactamente la clase de vida que nos brindaría hoy el billete premiado, una
buena mano de cartas o la respuesta correcta en el programa de TV. Estar rodeados por este “sentido común” hace
mucho más difícil escuchar hoy las palabras de Cohélet, del salmista, de Pedro y de Jesús. Quizás nos sonría la buena
fortuna, quizás no. Pero si hacemos que esa fortuna o su búsqueda sea el corazón, el centro mismo de nuestra vida, viviremos para lamentarlo. No adquiriremos la seguridad futura que perseguimos y perderemos el momento presente por
estar persiguiéndola. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
LECTURAS DE HOY
Primera lectura — No pases la vida luchando por las ventajas materiales (Eclesiastés 1:2; 2:21-23).
Salmo — Señor, ten compasión de nosotros (Salmo 90 [89]).
Segunda lectura — Cristo te ha resucitado a una nueva vida (Colosenses 3:1-5, 9-11).
Evangelio — Esté alerta en contra de toda ambición, porque tu vida no consiste en las posesiones materiales, sino en
las riquezas del Reino de Dios (Lucas 12:13-21).

News From Our Vocations Committee…
On June 4th at the Co-Cathedral of the Sacred
Heart, 5 men were ordained to the priesthood.
We would like to use these Sundays in July to
introduce you to them. Today we will meet
Fr. Clark Sample, 33.
Born and raised in Houston, Fr Sample attended Archdiocesan Catholic schools, graduating from St. Thomas Catholic High School.
He said the one thing he looks forward to most as a priest is
simply to be a servant to the people of God.
“When I was about 24, I was at Mass and when I looked at the
priest on the altar, for the first time in my life, I thought, ‘I can
do that.’ “
This article was taken from the Texas Catholic Herald, May 24,
2016, “The Road Less Traveled’ by Rebecca Torrellas.

Saint John Paul II states in his encyclical letter ECCLESIA DE EUCHARISTIA, "The Church draws her life

rightly proclaimed that the Eucharistic sacrifice is 'the
source and summit of the Christian life...the most holy
Eucharist contains the Church's entire spiritual wealth:
Christ himself, our passover and living bread. Through
his own flesh, now made living and life-giving by the Holy Spirit, he offers life to men." and "from this 'living
bread' she [the Church] draws her nourishment." If you
are a parishioner in full communion with the church,
please prayerfully consider this ministry. Call the parish
office for an interview with one of the clergy.
If you wish to make an announcement, such as birthdays, anniversaries,

New Parish App Coming Soon! In the coming weeks Holy Family Church will launch our

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION
Sometimes the treasures of art can provide us with
clues about traditions. Take, for example, the miter, the
conical hat with lappets, or back-flaps that fall to the
shoulders. This cap is worn by bishops in the Catholic
West. Eastern Catholics favor a crown, but we have this
curious headpiece. In Greek, the word means “turban.”
Old paintings and mosaics provide clues about headgear
for bishops, and there is very little artistic evidence for
the miter before the year 1000. Before then, some kind of
head covering might have been worn to offset the damp
and chill of unheated churches. The pope, as far back as
the seventh century, often wore a cap called a camelaucum. Around that time, artists painting St. Peter began to
portray their subject wearing this hat. By the year 1000 or
so, the pope began to grant similar helmet-shaped headgear as gifts to visiting abbots and bishops. They returned
home with these new chapeaus, and before long everybody wanted one!
Today, miters are granted not only to bishops, but to
certain favored abbots and occasionally abbesses. Pope
Benedict XVI set aside the tradition of the papal tiara in
favor of the miter, even on his coat of arms. Pope Paul VI
was the last pope to have a coronation. As recently as the
1960s, miters were towering skyscrapers of jewels and
rich silks, but now a simplicity of style is favored by bishops. Miters are here to stay, and experienced altar servers
know how to await the bishop’s removing of the miter,
since he does not wear it when he is saying the presidential prayers or the Eucharistic Prayer.

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE
Del 1o al 5 de agosto los capitalinos en El Salvador
celebran la fiesta del Salvador del Mundo, cuando recuerdan la Transfiguración de Jesús en el Monte Tabor.
Como muchas fiestas patronales en Latinoamérica esta
semana está llena de carnavales y desfiles. La celebración principal es una procesión religiosa con la imagen
de Jesús, el Divino Salvador del mundo. La estatua de
Jesús con sus brazos extendidos en bendición es llevada
desde la Basílica del Sagrado Corazón hasta la Catedral
Metropolitana. Vestida de un rojo que recuerda su pasión, la imagen es cargada sobre los hombros de una
veintena de fieles. Al llegar a la catedral la imagen patronal es puesta en una torre de más de 20 metros de alto.
Eventualmente la estatua revestida de blanco aparece de
una esfera encima de la torre en medio de gritos, aplausos y cantos. Esta esfera azul representa el mundo entero,
mundo salvado por Cristo. La transfiguración de esta
imagen en San Salvador recuerda la pasión y resurrección de Jesús, eventos claves que han hecho de él, el Salvador del Mundo entero.
