THE LORD OF LIFE
EL SEÑOR DE LA VIDA
At this bountiful time of year, our Sunday
readings teem with life and abundance. Both the first
reading, from the book of Wisdom, and the Gospel
passage from Mark assure us that God did not make
death or even will us to be ill. Illness and death entered the world through the presence of evil, the Wisdom author tells us. Mark’s stories of Jesus healing a
hemorrhaging woman and resuscitating a dead little
girl make it clear that Jesus is from God. As the Son
of God he does not will that anyone suffer illness or
death. In the face of such power, the second reading,
from Paul’s Second Letter to the Corinthians, provides a stark contrast. Jesus, who could raise the dead
to new life, “though he was rich, for your sake he
became poor” (2 Corinthians 8:9). Our gift of new life
from Christ demands our response in charity.
En este tiempo tan fecundo del año nuestras lecturas
dominicales rebosan con vida y abundancia. Tanto
la primera lectura, del libro de la Sabiduría, como la
tercera del Evangelio de san Marcos nos aseguran
que Dios no creó la muerte, ni quiere que suframos
de ninguna enfermedad. Fue por la envidia del diablo
que la muerte entró al mundo, según nos dice el Sabio. Y lo que san Marcos nos cuenta sobre la curación
de la hemorroisa y cómo revivió la hija de Jairo nos
muestran claramente que Jesús viene de Dios. Como
Hijo de Dios, Jesús no quiere que nadie sufra enfermedad ni muerte. Pero en el contexto de tanto poder, la
segunda lectura, de la segunda carta de san Pablo a los
corintios, nos presenta un fuerte contraste. Jesús, que
puede levantar a los muertos a una nueva vida, “siendo rico se hizo pobre por ustedes” (2 Corintios 8:9).
Así pues, la nueva vida que recibimos como regalo de
Cristo exige una respuesta: nuestra caridad.

In the second collection today, we are supporting Pope Francis
in his charitable works. The Peter’s Pence Collection is taken up
worldwide to support the most disadvantaged: victims of war, oppression, and natural disasters. This is an opportunity to join with
our Holy Father, Pope Francis, and be a witness of charity to our
suffering brothers and sisters. Please be generous in today’s collection.
En la segunda colecta de hoy, estaremos ayudando al papa Francisco en sus obras de caridad. La Colecta Peter’s Pence se realiza
en el mundo entero para ayudar a los más desfavorecidos: a las
víctimas de la guerra, de la opresión y de los desastres naturales.
Esta es una oportunidad para unirnos con nuestro Santo Padre,
el papa Francisco, y ser un testigo de la caridad para nuestros
hermanos y hermanas que sufren. Por favor, contribuya generosamente a la colecta de hoy.
“There is much we can do to benefit the poor, the needy and those who suffer,
and to favor justice, promote reconciliation and build peace.”
Pope Francis

Dear Lord,
There is no greater feeling of liberation than to experience this freedom from sin and death that you have
provided for me through Jesus Christ. Today my heart
and my soul are free to praise you. For this I am very
thankful.
The Food Pantry will be open on Thursday, July 2
from 11 am to 1 pm. Volunteers will be at the doors
of church to take a money collection this weekend.
On this Independence Day I am reminded of all those
who have sacrificed for my freedom, following the
example of your Son, Jesus Christ. Let me not take my
freedom, both physical and spiritual, for granted.

Lord, today, bless those who have served and continue
to give their lives for my freedom. With favor and bounty
meet their needs and watch over their families.
Help me to live my life in a way that glorifies you, Lord.
Give me the strength to be a blessing in someone else’s
life today, and grant me the opportunity to lead others
into the freedom that can be found in knowing Christ.
Amen

PRAYER SERVICE
&
BENEDICTION
in the Church
from 7:00 PM to 8:00 PM
“Blessed be God!
Blessed be His holy Name!”
Benediction is a beautiful word. It means a blessing, a greeting, an expression of kindness and love.
Benediction is also a beautiful service of the church.
It is a service that makes real to us in an impressive way the fact that God is always reaching out to
us, to bless, to strengthen, to assure us of his loving
kindness toward us. Please come and pray with us.
