Thoughts From this Sunday’s Readings by Fr. John
Previous reflections can be found on his blog at
FrJohnMurphy.blogspot.com
Today’s readings focus on the stories of two widows whose only
sons are dying or are dead and how Elijah and Jesus in their
compassion restored them to life. Most of the gospel commentaries for today emphasize Jesus as the source of life and his power
over death. But what struck me as I reflected on these readings
was the response of the widow of Zarephath in the first reading
and the people of Nain in the gospel to the miracles they
witnessed. The phrase that popped into my head was “seeing is
believing.”
Elijah had already performed one miracle for the widow of
Zarephath when he provided her with a jar of flour that would
never go empty and a jug of oil that would never run dry. We
don’t know what she thought about that. I hope she was appreciative. However, when Elijah restored her son to life she declared

Reflexiones sobre las lecturas de este domingo del Padre Rico.
5 de junio del 2016
Décimo Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario
La muerte en la flor de la vida.
Toda muerte impacta pero no cabe duda que la muerte de los
jóvenes resulta particularmente dolorosa porque contradice el curso
más natural de las cosas. La mujer viuda de la Primera Lectura se
estrella contra el absurdo de una muerte así, la de su hijo, y trata de
encontrar sentido relacionando lo que Dios le hace con lo que ella
le ha hecho a Dios. La imagen de Dios que ella tiene es la de un
vengador, o por lo menos, la de uno que paga con la misma
moneda. El profeta no discute con el dolor de ella. No le corrige
la teología vengativa con palabras sino con un acto de ternura y de
poder. No sólo se restaura la vida en aquel niño o joven, sino que
se restaura y purifica la fe de la madre. A veces la mejor respuesta
no es una teoría sino un acto, un hecho.
Sin defensa y sin sustento
El cuadro que nos presenta el Evangelio es aún más doloroso en la
escena inicial. Esta vez no sólo se trata de un joven que ha
fallecido sino que es el único hijo, y la madre es viuda. En una
sociedad como aquella, eso significa que en esa mujer se juntaban
todas las pérdidas y desastres: sin sustento, sin defensa, sin futuro,
sin alegría, sin amor. El milagro que realiza Cristo, al resucitar a
este joven de Naím, es entonces mucho más que un portento
inmenso. Es además un acto de compasión entrañable y sobre todo:
una señal de lo que significa su oferta de salvación. En efecto,
sin Cristo la humanidad se vuelve como esa mujer: infecunda,
indefensa, sin esperanza ni amor. Por eso también nosotros
necesitamos que la recia voz del Nazareno levante a la nueva
generación, que a veces parece estar ya en brazos de la muerte.
Amén.

Fortnight for Freedom
June 5, 2016
Come Give Catholic Schools a Try!
Excerpt From the USCCB, Ad Hoc Committee for Religious Liberty
Our First, Most Cherished Liberty
A Statement on Religious Liberty
We are Catholics. We are Americans. We are proud to be both, grateful for the gift of faith which is ours as Christian disciples, and grateful
for the gift of liberty which is ours as American citizens. To be Catholic and American should mean not having to choose one over the other.
Our allegiances are distinct, but they need not be contradictory, and
should instead be complementary. That is the teaching of our Catholic
faith, which obliges us to work together with fellow citizens for the
common good of all who live in this land. That is the vision of our
founding and our Constitution, which guarantees citizens of all religious faiths the right to contribute to our common life together.
Freedom is not only for Americans, but we think of it as something of
our special inheritance, fought for at a great price, and a heritage to be
guarded now. We are stewards of this gift, not only for ourselves but
for all nations and peoples who yearn to be free. Catholics in America
have discharged this duty of guarding freedom admirably for many
generations.
In 1887, when the archbishop of Baltimore, James Gibbons, was made
the second American cardinal, he defended the American heritage of
religious liberty during his visit to Rome to receive the red hat. Speaking of the great progress the Catholic Church had made in the United
States, he attributed it to the "civil liberty we enjoy in our enlightened
republic." Indeed, he made a bolder claim, namely that "in the genial
atmosphere of liberty [the Church] blossoms like a rose."
From well before Cardinal Gibbons, Catholics in America have been
advocates for religious liberty, and the landmark teaching of the
Second Vatican Council on religious liberty was influenced by the
American experience. It is among the proudest boasts of the Church on
these shores. We have been staunch defenders of religious liberty in
the past. We have a solemn duty to discharge that duty today.
We need, therefore, to speak frankly with each other when our freedoms are threatened. Now is such a time. As Catholic bishops and
American citizens, we address an urgent summons to our fellow
Catholics and fellow Americans to be on guard, for religious liberty is
under attack, both at home and abroad.
This has been noticed both near and far. Pope Benedict XVI recently
spoke about his worry that religious liberty in the United States is
being weakened. He called it the "most cherished of American freedoms"—and indeed it is. All the more reason to heed the warning of
the Holy Father, a friend of America and an ally in the defense of freedom, in his recent address to American bishops:
Of particular concern are certain attempts being made to limit that
most cherished of American freedoms, the freedom of religion.
Many of you have pointed out that concerted efforts have been
made to deny the right of conscientious objection on the part of
Catholic individuals and institutions with regard to cooperation in
intrinsically evil practices. Others have spoken to me of a worrying tendency to reduce religious freedom to mere freedom of
worship without guarantees of respect for freedom of conscience.
Here once more we see the need for an engaged, articulate and
well-formed Catholic laity endowed with a strong critical sense
vis-à-vis the dominant culture and with the courage to counter a
reductive secularism which would delegitimize the Church's participation in public debate about the issues which are determining
the future of American society.

RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults): Helping you to live a Gospel inspired life in an increasingly secular world
Have you been coming to Mass for awhile and think, “what does it mean to be Catholic?”
Are you interested in finding out what Catholics really believe? Join us for Inquiry.
Now might be the perfect time to join us. Wednesdays, 6:30-8pm.
All sessions are informal and completely commitment free.
After the excitement of the Easter Season and the Feasts celebrated
on the Sunday’s that followed, today marks the Church’s return to
Ordinary time.
The Sundays and weeks of Ordinary Time take us through the life of
Christ. It is a time of conversion and of living the life of Christ.
The color of the Season is green, reflecting its purpose as a time
for growth and a deepening of our faith.

For the 2015/16 Faith Formation year 1,106 total students were enrolled ( 631 families total). We need 200+ Catechists to
serve this number of students. Did you know that over 50% of our catechists did NOT have children in the 2015-16 school
year program?? We are so blessed and thankful for their service.
As of May 15 there are 300+ students registered but only a handful of catechists have committed to volunteer. We are
asking for you to prayerfully consider donating your time to volunteer this year. There are opportunities at all skill levels
in areas such as hospitality, teacher aides, classroom and hallway monitors and office aides. Thank you for your prayerful
consideration.
Catechists Are Needed.
“Do you want to do a good deed? Teach the young!

Do you want to do a holy thing? Teach the young!
Truly, now and for the future, among holy things,
this is the holiest.”
Classes will be filled on a space available basis.
Please prayerfully consider volunteering during the
St John Bosco.
2016-17 Faith Formation year.
