The Readings Today
Jesus’ healing ministry (see gospel: Luke 7:11-17 The raising of the widow’s dead son) was a “sneak preview” of what is yet
to come when the reign of God is fully established. We see healing in our midst and people brought to life in many different
ways (see first reading: 1 Kings 17:17-24 Elijah’s faith restores the boy to life). Do we notice it? Do we expect it? What
does it mean to be restored to life? What do we hope for from God’s promises? For Paul it is the authority that comes
directly from Christ (second reading: Gal 1:11-19).
Daily Spiritual Nourishment
Mon., June 6: 1 Kings 17:1-6; Matt 5:1-12
Blessed are ... The Sermon on the Mount is three chapters long in
Matthew’s Gospel, but before a single instruction is given to the
newly gathered disciples, there is one blessing after another. The
blessings come first. If God’s blessings were given only to those
who deserve them, they would come at the end: “Do this, and then
you will be blessed.” But Jesus begins his sermon with blessings.
Tues., June 7: 1 Kings 17:7-16; Matt 5:13-16
You are the salt of the earth. Salt is an ordinary substance, but it’s
also a precious commodity because we cannot live without it. In the
ancient world, salt was used much as we use money (that’s where
we get “salary”).
Wed., June 8: 1 Kings 18:20-39; Matt 5:17-19
Do not think that I have come to abolish the law or the prophets. I
have come not to abolish but to fulfill. Jesus broke the
commandments of his faith, confronted the Pharisees and challenged
the law as it had been interpreted. Jesus’ words remind us that it’s

all too easy to become focused on the letter of the law. “To fulfill”
means moving beyond the letter of the law to discern and do the will
of God.
Thurs., June 9: 1 Kings 18:41-46; Matt 5:20-26
Whoever is angry with his brother will be liable to judgment. The
sixth commandment is clear: You shall not kill. But just as serious,
just as damaging, Jesus says, are resentment, name-calling, even
anger. Those who claim to love God cannot “kill” others with
insults, hatred and prejudice.
Fri., June 10: 1 Kings 19:9a, 11-16; Matt 5:27-32
Elijah, why are you here? In the “tiny, whispering sound,” Elijah
rose above the despair and remained faithful to his call as a prophet.
Sat., June 11: Acts 11:21b-26, 13:1-3; Matt 5:33-37
Memorial of Barnabas, apostle
Let your ‘Yes’ mean ‘Yes,’ and your ‘No’ mean ‘No.’ In the United
States, we are now about four months away from electing a new
president. As always, it is difficult to determine who is telling the

P A S T O R ’ S Corner
A
s a priest I have witnessed the
pain of many people who refuse to
accept the unexpected death of a child, a
sibling, a spouse or a parent. The truth is
that, as human beings, we will never be
sufficiently prepared to let go of those
we love. The pain many go through,
usually turns into a rebellion against life
and we blame God for the suffering.
How difficult it becomes for me to
comfort these people or help them have
peace.
In today’s Gospel reading, Jesus
meets a funeral procession on the gates
of the city of Nain (about 65 miles from
Jerusalem). The scene is very touching; a
mother is about to bury her only son.
How difficult it must have been for her!
Jesus is certainly not indifferent to her
sorrow and thus His words of
consolation were: “Do not cry, woman.”
As I stopped to meditate on His words I
thought: “why wouldn’t she cry, why
wouldn’t she mourn her son? We cannot
contain our tears… it is good to cry, it is
good to let it out! If we hold it in, it will
certainly hurt more! Those who do not
mourn a loved one but repress their
feelings, sooner or later those feelings
will come forth and create a more
difficult situation.
But Jesus was not referring to this
kind of repressiveness, what he refers to

with the expression “woman, don’t cry”
is: “woman don’t fall into the trap of
despair, don’t think of death as the end
of life, don’t give up, don’t abandon
your hope and love for your son.” And
this becomes the invitation for us as
well. We must not cry for the passing
away of a loved one, for death is not the
end. Jesus is bringing us hope; death is
the beginning of new life, the beginning
of eternity with God.
We will all come to this moment,
each of us will have our own special
time (don’t be afraid to ask God for the
date of that special moment. I have
always asked God that I don’t want to
die abruptly, I want to prepare myself

Intentional Disciples Forgive
“Father,forgivethem,theyknownotwhattheydo.”
Luke23:34
Initial Questions
Let’ssharesomethingaboutForgiveness….
What is forgiveness?
Why is forgiveness hard?
Why might forgiveness be essential to
understanding Jesus’ mission?
Why might forgiveness be essential to
understanding our mission as disciples?
When Jesus says that he came for “the
forgiveness of sins.”
He means all of this. Forgiveness is important!
SEAS
LET’S MAKE IT HAPPEN...
Jesus, let us hear your call anew.
Bless us with the courage to respond.
Clear away all barriers.
Send your Holy Spirit and
make us your disciples.
Jesus, Savior of all People… Save them!
Forgiveness is central to Jesus’ mission and
message. We pray for forgiveness every time we
pray the Lord’s Prayer. Here’s the catch: We pray
for forgiveness only to the degree we’re willing to
forgive others. That means we better get pretty
good at forgiving.
Forgiveness is hard! There are often many
different components of forgiveness:

Recognizing our own need for
forgiveness

Accepting that we are forgivable

Asking for forgiveness (from God and
others)

Accepting that we are forgiven

Forgiving others
“Forgive and you will be forgiven. Give and gifts will be
given to you; a good measure, packed together, shaken
down, and over lowing, will be poured into your lap. For
the measure with which you measure will in return be
measured out to you.”
Luke 6:37-38
MYTHS:FORGIVENESSISNOT...
PRETENDING THAT NOTHING TOOK PLACE. Don’t lie to yourself.
... FORGETTING. With forgiving, memory loses its poison, but it doesn’t change the past.
... EXCUSING THE OFFENDER. Forgiveness tries to understand, not excuse, lest we forget the offender is a
human being; don’t rob him of responsibility.
... RETURNING EVERYTHING TO “AS IT WAS.” Damage was done; repair, if possible, takes time.
... MEASURED BY THE ABSENCE OF FEELING.
... GIVEN ON COMMAND. Forgiveness is a process of healing; it takes time. It begins with prayer to be able
to forgive. Like love, forgiveness must be freely given or else it is not real.

In prayer answer the following question: Why is forgiveness central to Jesus’ mission?
KeyInsights
Forgiveness is everywhere in the
Gospels. If we allow forgiveness to
be an abstract concept, we fail to
allow it to challenge us. God wants
to forgive us. God wants us to
forgive others. Every disciple
should understand forgiveness as
central to discipleship.
Of all the Gospels, Luke places the
greatest emphasis on forgiveness
as central to Jesus mission. We get
this at the beginning through the
Canticle of Zechariah, and among
Jesus’ last words to his disciples.
Only in Luke, do we receive Jesus’
most powerful example of
forgiveness from the cross.
However, it is Matthew who places
forgiveness at the heart of the New
Covenant that Jesus establishes
through
his
death
and
resurrection. I should note that the
word “many” in Jesus’ words at the
Last Supper means the multitudes.
The Church believes that Jesus
gives his life for everyone while
still recognizing that not everyone
will accept Jesus’ offering.
WHOMDOINEEDTOFORGIVE?
When I harbor a grudge, real or imagined, fair or unfair, it shapes
me and poisons me. I need to let it go by forgiving.
Parents who disappointed you
A spouse who changed into someone else
A child who doesn’t live your dreams
The friend who let you down
The friend who abandoned you by dying or moving
The co-worker who didn’t speak up for you.
The company that does not recognize your efforts
The Church that tells you what to do, but doesn’t help you to do
it
The nation that conquered your ancestors
The perpetrators of discrimination
God who allowed your child to die.
God who doesn’t make the world better just for you
God who doesn’t give you the happiness your religiosity
deserves
God who wants you to be more than you are
Yourself
For putting yourself in a situation where you let yourself be
hurt
For putting yourself down
For enduring a bad relationship too long
For being a perfectionist and not letting yourself make
mistakes

Mensaje del Párroco
Como sacerdote he tenido oportunidad
de ver el dolor de muchas personas que
rehúsan aceptar la muerte repentina de un
hijo, hermano, cónyuge o padre. La verdad
es que, como seres humanos que somos,
nunca estaremos preparados para dejar ir a
nuestros seres queridos. El dolor que
muchos sufren con frecuencia se
transforma en rebelión contra la vida y
terminamos culpando a Dios por el
sufrimiento. Qué difícil me resulta
consolar a estas personas, o ayudarles a
encontrar paz.
En el Evangelio de hoy, Jesús se
encuentra con una procesión fúnebre a la
entrada de la población de Naím, a unas 65
millas de Jerusalén. La escena es
conmovedora; una madre está por enterrar
a su único hijo. ¡Qué difícil situación para
ella! Jesús ciertamente no es indiferente al
dolor de ella como madre y entonces le
dice estas palabras de consuelo: “No
llores”. Mientras medito en las palabras de
Jesús, pienso, ¿por qué no habría de llorar,
de expresar el duelo por su hijo? No
podemos contener las lágrimas… llorar
hace bien. ¡Nos ayuda a desahogarnos! Si
contenemos las emociones, al final dolerá
más. Las personas que no hacen duelo por
los seres queridos, sino que reprimen sus
sentimientos, tarde o temprano éstos
saldrán a flote y crearán situaciones aún
más difíciles.

represión, lo que quiere decir con “no
llores” es: “mujer, no caigas en la trampa

de la desesperación. No pienses que la
muerte es el fin de la vida, no te des por
vencida, no pierdas la esperanza y el amor
por tu hijo”. Y esta es la invitación para
nosotros también. No debemos llorar por la
muerte de un ser querido, ya que la muerte
no es el fin. Jesús nos trajo esperanza; la
muerte es el comienzo de una nueva vida,
el comienzo de la eternidad junto a Dios.
A todos nos espera este momento,

You were Created to Love and to be Holy
—————Fr. Mario Rodriguez, MSpS—————
Each one of us has been created very carefully and lovingly. God has taken the time in Eternity to imagine and
create us. In the Book of Jeremiah 1:5 “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I
dedicated you, a prophet to the nations I appointed you.” Even then God had the plan and journey to happiness for
us; it is just a matter of uncovering His plan and responding to the graces God gives us in each stage of our life. We
have been created to live, but also to be HOLY and be in full communion. Our inner being is hungry for
communion and for deep relationships. We are thirsty to be in deep relationships with others, but above all, our
being longs to be with God.
Fr. Felix Rougier invites us: “If we correspond to those graces, which are inherently OURS through the mercy
and endless generosity of God toward us, we will surely make OUR TRUE PERSONALITY bloom and grow, in
accordance with the eternal plan. Not in the sense of the SELFISH ME, which feeds on concupiscence and pride,
rather ascending ever higher, until we reach a union more and more intimate with our Creator.”
Make life bloom through communion with God. This is the mission we have by being Christian. Let it be noticed
that you have found love in Jesus Christ the Savior, and that it is Christ who gives meaning to all of our existence. In
Jesus we will find ways to see our personality mature day by day. We can all be today better than we were
yesterday, Jesus invites us to believe that, and do as much as we
can to make the transformation happen.
Take courage, believe that you have been created to
do wonders in the name of God. God makes you a
prophet of His message of Mercy and Peace for all
humanity. You are a disciple and witness of LOVE
INCARNATE.
Fuiste Creado para Amar y
Santi icarte
Cada uno de nosotros hemos sido creados con sumo cuidado
y con sumo amor. Dios se ha tomado el tiempo en la Eternidad para pensarnos y crearnos. En el libro de Jeremías 1, 5
nos dice: «A ntes de formarte en el seno de tu madre, ya te conocía; antes de que tú nacieras, yo te consagré, y te destiné a
ser profeta de las naciones.» Desde antes Dios ya tenía el plan y el camino de felicidad para nosotros; sólo es cuestión
de irlo descubriendo y respondiendo a las gracias que Dios nos va presentando en las diferentes etapas de nuestra vida.
Hemos sido creados para existir, pero también hemos sido creados para ser SANTOS y estar en plena comunión. Nuestro
interior está hambriento de comunión y de relación profunda. Estamos sedientos de estar en relación profunda con los
demás, pero sobre todo nuestro ser ansía estar con Dios.
El P. Félix de Jesús Rougier nos invitaba: “Si correspondemos a tales gracias, MUY NUESTRAS, por la
misericordia y la inagotable generosidad de Dios para con nosotros, haremos florecer y desarrollar, según el plan eterno,
NUESTRA VERDADERA PERSONALIDAD; no en el sentido del YO EGOISTA, que vive de concupiscencia y de
soberbia, sino elevándonos sin cesar, hasta una unión cada vez más íntima con nuestro Creador”.
Hacer florecer la vida en la comunión con Dios. Esta es la misión que tenemos como cristianos. Que se vea que has
encontrado el amor en Cristo Jesús, el salvador y que Cristo es quien llena de sentido toda nuestra existencia. En Jesús
vamos a ir encontrando caminos para madurar nuestra personalidad cada día más. Sabemos que no somos perfectos, pero
que estamos llamados a irnos perfeccionando día a día. Cada uno de nosotros podemos ser hoy mejores que ayer, Jesús
nos invita a creerlo y hacer lo posible para irnos transformando.
Ánimo, cree que has sido creado para hacer maravillas en el nombre de Dios. Dios te hace profeta de su mensaje de
Misericordia y Paz para toda la humanidad. Eres discípulo y testigo del AMOR ENCARNADO.

A WAITING HARVEST
Vocation Awareness
PADRE SERRA SAYS:
Jesus called each one us to a vocation, not just our priests and religious.
Our Church needs committed lay ministers to spread the Gospel in our
world.
Some of us have heard the Word of God preached by lay ministers at a
special time of year in our parishes. Some of our parishes may have lay
pastoral associates who administer the parish because there is no full-time
priest/pastor.
Most of us encounter lay ministers of the Eucharist at our Sunday
celebrations, as lectors and altar servers. Many of the homebound are
regularly visited by lay ministers of care who pray the Scriptures with them
and distribute Communion. These are but a few of the ministries that lay
people are called to. Ask yourself — how can I serve? Do you have your
“shoulder to the wheel?” Are you “pulling an oar in the ship of our Church?”
Can you befriend the lonely, visit the sick, assist the elderly, prepare and
give homilies? If so, sound off. Let us inform our pastors of the talents we
are ready to freely offer to serve our parish.
Christ said, “I came to serve, not to be served.” How about you?
