Before you read this take a deep breath and exhale slowly. Inhale and exhale, breathing in and out multiple times each minute is an automatic activity essential to life. How ridiculous it would be for someone to ask us, "which is more important: inhaling or exhaling?" We would immediately recognize that without both activities we cease to exist. Inhale too frequently and we hyperventilate, eventually passing out. Hold our breath refusing to exhale the same UHDOLW\EHVWVXVZHSDVVRXW,QKDOLQJGHHSO\DQGH[KDOLQJ completely is the optimal response for our bodies. We are created for this balanced, rhythmic activity. Such a basic movement enables our existence and enhances all we do. Elite athletes often travel to high altitude training centers to use this basic breathing in and out to work out and improve their athletic abilities. The high altitude training enhances the capacity to perform through the basic act of inhaling and exhaling. As the athlete trains, the body trains as well, modifying itself to later carry more oxygen through the blood to all parts of the body. Prayer and service are the inhaling and exhaling of the spiritual life. Neither has a priority and each aids the other in strengthening our service to the Lord. Contemplation is the high altitude training of the spiritual life. Through meditation, our prayer enables us to receive God's grace throughout every aspect of our life. Mary and Martha are the supporting characters in this week's gospel reading as we continue with another "on the road story" with Jesus heading towards Jerusalem. The women in this story are too often portrayed as squabbling siblings. T heirs is not a story about a bossy, demanding hostess and her lazy sister. Rather they are living examples of the necessary pairing of prayer and service. Disciples of Jesus are not excused from service nor are we called to a life of private contemplation. The gospel story does not ask us to pick a winner, either Martha or Mary. It asks us to listen to the breathing of Jesus -- inhaling, exhaling-calling us to prayer and to service, balanced in our life, enriching our days, and keeping us on the road with Jesus, journeying towards the Father, living in the Kingdom of God. Summer offers us the opportunity to examine our breathing. Is there a measured, steady balance in our faith life? Have we been running too hard for too long, gasping for air? Have we been sedentary, needing some deep breathing exercises? The choice is not Martha or Mary, prayer or service, but rather setting our breath in harmony with God's, sending life and love to the world. Breathe in deeply the love of God. Let that breath be exhaled in love and service to others.

Classes will run from 7:30 – 9:15 p.m. In the beginning … That’s what Genesis is, the beginning of the world and all living things and God created it all. In this book, one will also discover the answer to those age-old questions: Where did I come from? Why am I here? What is the purpose of my life? The answers to these questions and many more are found in this in-depth study. Genesis also sets the stage for God’s plan of redemption and plants the seeds of many important doctrines and Christian teachings that unfold in the rest of the Bible. Without Genesis, the Bble is incomprehensible, which makes this a “must” study!

It is the story of one who pursues fame and fo rtune without a moral compass – and the changes that occur when ev ents lead him to see the light. It also chronicles the collapse o f the Roman world and how Augustine laid the intellectual found ations of what became Europe. Filmed in Europe, this new epic film is the first full -length feature movie about St. Augustine. 3HULPHWHU)OXWHVLQ&RQFHUWDW +RO\&URVV Join us August 3rd at 1pm in the Holy Cross Church Sanctuary for a free Perimeter Flutes concert.

La conducta de Martha -que también es amiga de Jesús- ignora los grandes beneficios que se alcanzan al poner a Jesús como centro de nuestra vida. Los quehaceres cotidianos la absorben y difícilmente puede sentarse a escuchar al Maestro. Es como la semilla que cae en tierra estéril. La gran diferencia es que María se sienta a los pies del Maestro a escuchar de la palabra de Dios. Ya el trabajo se hará después. ¿Cuál es tu opinión de estas dos mujeres? ¿Qué actitudes de ambas debemos de imitar? Todo es cuestión de fe y de darnos cuenta de que Jesús ofrece a sus discípulos el saber discernir y actuar tomando la mejor parte en cada momento de nuestras vidas. Los papeles de Martha y de María son esenciales. No debemos de estar rezando cuando tenemos alguna responsabilidad que cumplir, ni debemos de trabajar cuando es el tiempo de estar con el Maestro. 7HQHUODVSULRULGDGHVGH-HV~VHVHVHQFLDOODVQXHVWUDVQRVRQLPSRUWDQWHV$YHFHVWHQHPRVWDQWD actividad que no tenemos tiempo de entrar a alguna iglesia para visitar al Santísimo. Ojalá que la palabra de Dios no quede sofocada en nuestro activismo. No olvidemos que en Cristo nosotros somos la revelación de Dios para otros. Nuestra meta debe saber tener balance en la vida. El personaje de María es el modelo a seguir y ella le invita a Martha a hacer lo mismo.

Eso no significa que no se le da el lugar que merece con sencillez, respeto, y devoción. Así como se participa de la fiesta es IMPORTANTE que se viva la fe como debe de ser con sinceridad y amor.
