From the Pastor
The readings on this Thirteenth
Sunday in Ordinary Time speak to the
challenges, the possible sacrifices,
and the attitudes needed to follow
Christ as His disciple. Each of us
through Baptism is called to be the
Lord’s Disciple, and many of us
intellectually understand that. However, making the
commitment necessary to fulfill that goal can be
difficult in today’s world.
We find Elijah in the First Reading from First Kings. To
put Elijah’s situation in context he has been called by
God and he, Elijah, has responded. Nevertheless, he is
lonely and feels somewhat burdened by the tasks at
hand. God announces that He will provide him relief by
having him recruit a companion and a successor to his
ministry. God says, “You shall anoint Elisha, son of
Shaphat of Abelmeholah, as prophet to succeed you.”
Elijah discovers Elisha plowing with “twelve yoke of
oxen.” Clearly Elisha was a man of means; any farmer
who could afford twelve oxen to assist him with his
work was well off indeed. Elisha responds to the call by
saying, “…let me kiss my father and mother goodbye
and I will follow you.” He does not reject the
invitation, but he places some qualifications on it. God
invites us to take up His Cross, to take up our own
crosses, and follow him. It is natural for us to inwardly
think to ourselves that we will as soon as we are ready,
as soon as we have accomplished other things. When
Jesus called His Apostles, they literally gave everything
up and followed Him. We may not have to make that
heavy a sacrifice, but we do have to be prepared to
change and to adjust to being a disciple.
In St. Paul’s letter to the Galatians, our Second
Reading, Paul again addresses the whole issue of Jewish
Law. It is a common theme in Paul’s letters, and it is
complicated for most of us, who have no Jewish
tradition, to understand Paul’s continued mention and
evaluation of it. However, it might be simplified in this
way. The Jewish Law was exterior — that is, it was a
standard of living that required the person following it
to act in a particular way in terms of what people saw
and perceived.
As Paul is converted to following Jesus Christ, Paul
realizes that following the Lord is perhaps more of an
internal experience and activity than an external one.
Paul’s basic point is that we must internalize the Lord;
we must make His presence and His teachings a part of
our very being internally. The external actions, as
exemplified by the Law, are secondary, if not
completely non factors. Paul realized that salvation is
not found by fulfilling the external commitment to the
Law, but by becoming committed to the internal action
of belief and faith and service and love.
Stewardship requires action, but prior to acts of
stewardship, one must be converted in both mind and
heart, and that is internal. Our Gospel Reading from
Luke finds Jesus in a Samaritan village. That in itself is
unique and unusual. We have commented in the past
about the conflicts between the Samaritans and the
Jews, and Jesus and His followers were indeed Jews.
They might expect no hospitality from the Samaritans.
What Jesus says and does very well reflects the lesson
provided in the First Reading about Elijah and Elisha.
The Lord’s final comment after people indicate to Him
that they will follow Him, but they have to take care of
some earthly matters first, is “No one who sets a hand
to the plow and looks to what was left behind is fit for
the kingdom of God.” Jesus grew up in an agrarian
society. This reading may have meant more to people
100 years ago than it does now as our own society was
largely agricultural then.
There are two conclusions to be drawn from Jesus’
statement about plowing and the Kingdom of God: first,
the focus has to be forward always, never backwards;
second, whoever is guiding the animals (or even the
tractor today) must have a firm and consistent grip on
the reins or the steering wheel. For us to be disciples
and for us to be successful servants of God, like the
plower, we must look forward to Christ and to eternity;
then we must be committed and seek the strength to
follow through with the commitment and the
stewardship it requires to accomplish our goal.
Blessings,
Father John

Sharing Our Gifts - Consistent and
Generous Giving
Our deepest reason for giving is not because our parish has
needs, but because we have a spiritual need to give. Our
gifts to God should be out of faith and gratitude for what
God has done for us. Just like the apostles who laid down
their nets the moment that Jesus called them, we too should lay down
everything, even something as important to us as our finances, to follow
Christ. We are called to give to God from our first fruits, and to recognize
that everything comes from Him.

Pray about the best use of your financial resources and ask God to show
you where you need to give Him priority in them.

Evaluate your regular offertory gift and increase it based on what you
think God is calling you to give until you reach the scriptural tithe.

Make a commitment to give regularly to God through the parish
offertory, and be faithful to your tithing commitment, even if you attend
Mass elsewhere.
It is difficult to give God any percentage of our time, talent or treasure if we
do not first give Him 100% of our hearts. How will you turn more readily to
Him with your whole heart?

Anuncios Semanales del Ministerio Hispano
29 de Junio: Solemnidad de San Pedro y San Pablo
San Pedro y San Pablo son las dos columnas
del edificio de la fe cristiana. Dieron su vida
por Jesús y gracias a ellos el cristianismo se
extendió por todo el mundo.
Esta solemnidad nos permite contemplar la
estrecha amistad establecida entre
Jesucristo y estos dos hombres elegidos para
misiones muy importantes: “San Pedro,
escogido por Jesús desde el comienzo de su
vida pública, la "piedra" sobre la que Cristo
fundó su Iglesia. San Pablo, llamado después
de su Resurrección y la Ascensión, el
"instrumento elegido" para llevar el
Evangelio a los gentiles. Caminando por senderos distintos hacia el Señor,
unieron las comunidades judía y pagana en la única Iglesia fundada por
Cristo.
Las fiestas de San Pedro y San Pablo se celebran en un mismo día porque
ambos, después de haber santificado a Roma con su presencia y predicación,
allí mismo padecieron el martirio y son sus gloriosos protectores. Ambos
fueron fieles a su vocación y nos invitan también a nosotros a ser valientes
en nuestro testimonio de fe.
No murieron juntos: Pedro fue mártir del circo de la colina del Vaticano en
tiempos de Nerón. Pidió ser crucificado de cabeza, porque no se sentía digno
de morir como su Maestro. Treinta y siete años duró su seguimiento fiel a
Jesús. Fue sepultado en la Colina Vaticana, cerca del lugar de su martirio.
Ahí se construyó la Basílica de San Pedro, centro de la cristiandad.
La vida de San Pedro nos enseña que el Espíritu Santo puede obrar maravillas
en un hombre común y corriente. Lo puede hacer capaz de superar los más
grandes obstáculos. Nos enseña que, a pesar de la debilidad humana, Dios
nos ama y nos llama a la santidad. A pesar de todos los defectos que tenía,
Pedro logró cumplir con su misión.
San Pablo murió un poco más tarde en la Vía Ostiense camino del mar. Le
cortaron la cabeza con una espada pues, como era ciudadano romano, no
podían condenarlo a morir en una cruz, ya que era una muerte reservada
para los esclavos.
La vida de San Pablo nos enseña la importancia de la labor apostólica de los
cristianos. Todos los cristianos debemos ser apóstoles, anunciar a Cristo
comunicando su mensaje con la palabra y el ejemplo, cada uno en el lugar
donde viva, y de diferentes maneras. Nos enseña el valor de la conversión.
Nos enseña a hacer caso a Jesús dejando nuestra vida antigua de pecado
para comenzar una vida dedicada a la santidad, a las buenas obras y al
apostolado.
Estudio de Doctrina Católica
