Theodore Roosevelt ext 101 TREASURE As a child I use to ponder the ext 172 ext 120 FOR THE WEEKEND OF JULY 20, 2014 This week’s plate income: $22,935.00 Last year’s plate income: $20,140.61 Difference: JACKPOT In our lottery- and sweepstakes-obsessed culture, it is common to ask ourselves or others what they would do if they won. In today’s first reading, Solomon certainly hits the jackpot. What prize could be greater than having God Almighty agree to give you whatever you ask for? Out of all the things he could have asked for, Solomon chose to ask for understanding, and was rewarded with it. We would do well to wonder what we would ask for if God made us the same offer. Actually God does make us the same offer each and every day, by granting us another day of life, a bit of the earth’s goods, some gift or ability, some call to goodness, some portion of the divine will. Each of these is a “prize.” We should stop and examine what we are going to do with our prize: keep it or use it selfishly, or put it at the service of the spread of the gospel? Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co. $2,794.39 following scenario: What if I encountered a genie that granted me one wish? What would be my one request of the genie? Should I ask for a $1,000,000? But before long I might spend it all and then what? I would be back to where I started! After years of pondering this scenario I came up with the perfect answer: I would wish, “that every request that I make for all time would be granted.” As far-fetched as that scenario appears to be, the Scriptures are filled with “genie” moments today. In the Book of Kings, we hear of how God appears to Solomon in a dream and then says to him, “Ask something of me and I will grant it.” Here is Solomon’s big chance to tell God his request is that God will grant all of his requests for all time. Instead, Solomon asks for a wise and an understanding heart so that he can distinguish between right and wrong in his role as king of the people of Israel. What would we do in Solomon’s situation? How many of us would ask to receive the reign of God? The treasure of knowing that we belong to God, that we are cherished and cared for. A treasure that feeds our hungers and satisfies our thirsts. A treasure that excites us like a child at Christmas or a bride on the morning of her wedding. A treasure that is the fulfillment of our deepest desires and our fondest hopes. Like the person in the Gospel story who just happens to come upon the treasure buried in a field and then with great joy sacrifices everything to attain it, the reign of God is not something that we earn, rather it is a gift from God given for all time. It is ours for the finding. YEAR TO DATE PLATE COLLECTION 7/1/12 – 6/30/2013 $ 1,301,985.16 7/1/13 – 6/30/2014 $ 1,297,251.66 Difference: - $ 4,733.50 WE GREATLY APPRECIATE YOUR CONTINUED GENEROSITY! As each one has received a gift, use it to serve one another as good stewards of God's varied grace. 1 Peter 4:10 A profound stewardship prayer is offered by the young king Solomon in today’s first reading. He asks the Lord to give him an understanding heart, compassion towards God’s people and the insight to distinguish right from wrong. An understanding heart, or wisdom, is a gift from God. It is a gift that enables us to make good decisions and prudent choices. Cultivating and sharing this gift is essential, especially when poor decisions and lack of compassion have consequences that affect the lives of others. Do we exercise good stewardship over the gift of wisdom? Do we share our compassionate hearts with others? 27 DE JULIO, 2014 - XVII DOMINGO DEL TIEMPO ORDINARIO PAGE 3 Statement of California Bishops on the Transport of Displaced Migrant Children and Families to California In recent days, the people of our state have witnessed the arrival of hundreds of displaced people, mostly women and children, to various locations in Southern California. The Bishops of California wish to express our solidarity with these immigrant brothers and sisters who are coming to our state and to offer our prayer that God will deliver them to the safe environment they seek. We also recognize our responsibility as a Church of compassion to come to their aid and help provide them with the practical and pastoral support they so need. These children and families have journeyed to our country, fleeing violence and destitution in Central America. Sadly, their experience in California has thus far been marked by hostility and near chaos. They are exhausted, afraid and clinging to hope. The gravity of this situation transcends politics; it is truly a humanitarian crisis that calls all of us, Catholics and others of good will, to respond with compassion and with urgent action. The response of Catholic agencies and other community-based groups has already begun. Catholic Charities, working in collaboration with directly affected dioceses and other service organizations, is mobilizing to help these immigrants in centers of hospitality and assistance. Many individuals have contacted our parishes and social service agencies asking how they can help. This reflects the best of the American spirit. We are particularly concerned about the safety and security of the thousands of unaccompanied children that have crossed our border, without a parent or guardian and without family ties to the US. They desperately need our help. Federal officials believe that groups of migrants will continue to arrive throughout the summer. The most affected dioceses will be asking parishioners and others for donations of time and money. We ask you to respond to this call. In this critical moment, Jesus’ parable of the Good Samaritan reminds us of what we are called to do. Federal, state and local government agencies also have a role to play in responding to this heartbreaking situation. We urge Congress to appropriate the resources necessary to care for unaccompanied children. We also urge opposition to the “fast track authority” requested by the Administration that could send children back to the violence they attempted to flee without a proper hearing—and in violation of their rights. We recognize the passion surrounding this issue. We call on all Californians of good will to express themselves with civility and respect, and to refrain from violence. We ask the Catholic community to join together in solidarity with these children of God, our brothers and sisters, to provide help and give them hope. Most Reverend Bishop Armando X. Ochoa’s Statement It is of the most importance to understand the difference between the political agendas and the challenges associated with migration in general and the urgent needs of this particular movement of unattended refugee children and families. This is a “humanitarian crisis” As people of faith, we need to create a bridge of compassion for these children and families who are “exhausted, afraid and clinging to hope.” A designated account has been established by our Diocese to receive funds contributed by our faithful. These funds will be sent to the most affected dioceses that are bearing the financial responsibility in caring for our vulnerable brothers and sisters. Please make checks payable to the Diocese of Fresno: Emergency Relief for Displaces Children and Minors. Thank you for your attention to this great need. “ The gravity of this situation transcends politics; it is truly a humanitarian crisis that calls all of us, Catholics and others of good will, to respond with compassion and with urgent action.” Most Reverend A rmando X .

If you have questions regarding RCIA or English Adult Confirmation call Martha for more details: 439-0124, ext. 114 or email: When I read today’s Gospel, the thing that stands out to me most is finding “treasure.” The treasure is so good and complete that the finder doesn’t need anything else. If the treasure is the kingdom of heaven – it makes me question if I value heaven that much. Sometimes I am focused on what I have now, like the latest basketball sneakers or cell phone. This Gospel reminds me that as long as I have the promise of heaven, I have everything I need. The other thing from this Gospel that stands out to me is that when these people find this treasure their first thought is not to tell the world and share the gift but they hide it and then buy the land so that it is theirs and theirs only. It makes me think, am I sharing the gifts that I’ve been given or am I actively trying to keep them to myself?

GRUPO DE JÓVENES ADULTOS EL GRAN PREMIO En nuestra lotería – y en las muchas rifas de nuestra cultura – se tiene la costumbre de preguntarnos a nosotros mismos y de preguntarles a los demás qué haríamos si ganamos. En la primera lectura de hoy, Salomón ciertamente se gana el premio mayor. ¿Qué premio podrá ser más grande que tener a Dios todopoderoso ofrecerte lo que quieras? De todas las cosas que podemos pedir, Salomón escogió pedir sabiduría y le fue concedida. ¿No sería bueno preguntarnos que pediríamos si Dios nos hiciera esa oferta? En realidad Dios nos hace esa misma oferta cada día, al darnos otro día de vida, un poco de los bienes de la tierra, algún don o talento, un llamado a la bondad, algo de la voluntad divina. Cada uno de esos bienes es un “premio”. Debemos detenernos y examinar lo que vamos a hacer con nuestro premio: ¿guardarlo o usarlo con egoísmo, o ponerlo al servicio de la proclamación del Evangelio?

Los obispos de California brindamos nuestra solidaridad con nuestros hermanos y hermanas migrantes quienes están llegando a nuestro estado y ofrecemos una oración que Dios los hará llegar al ambiente seguro que ellos buscan. También reconocemos nuestra responsabilidad como iglesia de compasión para asistirles y proveerles el apoyo práctico y pastoral que tanto necesitan. Estos niños y familias han tenido una larga jornada a nuestro país, huyendo de la violencia y destitución en Centro América. Desgraciadamente, su experiencia aquí en California hasta el momento ha sido marcada por hostilidad y caos. Ellos están cansados, asustados, y aferrados a la esperanza. La gravedad de esta situación sobrepasa a la política; es realmente una crisis humanitaria que nos llama a todos nosotros, Católicos y personas de buena voluntad, a responder con compasión y con acción inmediata. La respuesta de las agencias Católicas y otros grupos comunitarios ya ha empezado. Caridades Católicas, en colaboración con esas diócesis directamente afectadas y otras organizaciones serviciales, está movilizando para ayudar a estos inmigrantes en los centros de hospitalidad y asistencia. Muchos individuos han contactado a nuestras parroquias y agencias de servicios sociales ofreciendo su ayuda. Esto refleja lo mejor del espíritu Americano. Estamos sumamente preocupados sobre el bienestar y la seguridad de miles de niños desacompañados quienes han cruzado la frontera, sin un padre o guardián y sin ningún familiar aquí en los EE.UU. Ellos necesitan desesperadamente de nuestra ayuda. Los oficiales federales creen que grupos de migrantes continuarán a llegar a lo largo del verano. Las diócesis más afectadas les pedirán a los feligreses y a otros que donen su tiempo y dinero hacia esta causa. Les pedimos a Uds. que respondan a este llamado. En este momento crítico, la parábola de Jesús que habla sobre el Buen Samaritano nos recuerda de los que estamos llamados a hacer. Las agencias federales, estatales, y locales también desarrollan un papel en responder a esta situación dolorosa. Le urgimos al Congreso que provea los recursos necesarios para cuidar de los niños desacompañados. También le pedimos oposición al pedido de la Administración que aprueba la autoridad de trayectoria rápida (referido en inglés como “fast track authority”), la cual podría mandar a los niños de regreso a la violencia de la que ellos mismos huían sin una audiencia apropiada – y que está en violación de sus derechos humanos. Reconocemos la pasión que rodea este tema. Le pedimos a todo californiano de buena voluntad que se exprese con civilidad y respeto, y que se abstenga de violencia. Le pedimos a la comunidad Católica que se una en solidaridad con estos niños de Dios, nuestros hermanos y hermanas, y que les brinden su ayuda y esperanza. Declaración de nuestro Obispo Armando X. Ochoa Es de mayor importancia entender la diferencia entre las agendas políticas y los desafíos asociados con la migración particular y en general las necesidades urgentes de este movimiento de los niños refugiados desatendidos y familias. Esto es una "crisis humanitaria" como personas de fe, necesitamos crear un puente de compasión por estos niños y las familias que están "agotadas, con miedo y aferrados a la esperanza". Se ha establecido una cuenta designada por nuestra diócesis para recibir fondos aportados por los fieles. Estos fondos se enviarán a las diócesis más afectadas que están dando la responsabilidad financiera en el cuidado de nuestros hermanos y hermanas vulnerables. Por favor haga los cheques pagaderos a la diócesis de Fresno: Emergency Relief for Displaces Children and Minors. Gracias por su atención a esta gran necesidad. "La gravedad de esta situación trasciende la política; realmente es una crisis humanitaria que llama a todos nosotros, los católicos y otros de buena voluntad, para responder con compasión y con medidas urgentes".

She was the daughter of the king and queen of Aragon, a land now part of Spain. One grandfather was the king of Sicily, and the other was an emperor. She was named after her great-aunt, Saint Elizabeth of Hungary, another queen who was a saint. These connections did not guarantee that she would be a great queen or a saint. She became both. Elizabeth married Dinis, the king of Portugal. The couple ruled wisely and well. They worked to improve the lives of their subjects. They provided education, justice, and protection for the people in their kingdom. Elizabeth supervised the building of hospitals, orphanages and churches. She also worked among the poor and sick, often feeding or caring for them. As a result, the people dearly loved their king and queen. Saint Elizabeth of Portugal devoted her life to maintaining peace in her kingdom. She tried to change the minds and hearts of others by showing the joy she received from serving God. She saw her role as queen as an opportunity to share the love and care of God with others. $ PAID $ FUN in the SUN Fig Garden/Bullard Soccer League is Recrui ng a few more applicants for Paid Soccer REFEREES for Sept – Nov Class and Field Tes ng this Summer required.
