FIFTEENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
A FEW THOUGHTS ON
DEACON JOHN CUNNEEN
For many years, Deacon John enthusiastically shared his
faith, love and knowledge of Scripture (passed on to him
from his mother) to the parents of the children who were
preparing to receive their First Reconciliation and First
Eucharist. Deacon John brought joy and smiles to many
Saint Linus School students when he blessed their pets on
the annual feast of Saint Francis of Assisi.
Sister Catherine Casey
What a great servant of God! John toiled to the end, good
and faithful servant that he was. John came to my home a
little over two months ago, on fire with an evangelical
Catholic message - to set regular Catholics on fire for love
of Jesus and their faith. John saw that there were small
embers of faith that were dying in the hearts of many of our
Catholic people. He saw that there was a great need to
breathe new life into these embers that they may blaze into
a great fire of love for God and service to His Holy Name.
John came preaching to help him to set this fire ablaze.
And it is true what he was saying. John is right. Although
in every parish there is a core of parishioners who live out
the Gospel at church and in their lives, who are already set
ablaze in fire for love of God and His Only Begotten Son
Our Lord Jesus Christ, John wanted to reach out to these
dying embers. John saw that regular Catholic folks needed
evangelizing. Indeed, this is the New Evangelization that
Pope Saint John Paul II began during his Pontificate and that is spreading and increasing now. When I first
met them, way back in 1995, before John was a deacon, he and his wife Susan were already on fire for the
faith. I can see them clearly in my mind's eye, sitting or standing side by side in the pews, near the front left if
you face the altar, smiling and singing and rejoicing in prayer. Indeed, John was telling me that he and his wife
centered their lives in ministry in the church as far back as the 1970s. And they never stopped. What a great
treasure and gift not only to St. Linus and the many thousands of people they touched, but also a great treasure
and gift to the universal Church, as all these lives have gone out to the world in greater faith in Jesus Christ.
Thank you John, and thank you Sue, for your extraordinary witness to Jesus, to love, and to service. Our prayers are with John in quiet confidence in God's great mercy for all, especially to his dear friends. Our prayers
are with you Sue and your family to provide consolation and the joy of our faith whose end is everlasting life
with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Mike Mikulski
We first met John and Sue in the early 1970's. There was a group of us that had our children at St. Linus
School and we all became good friends. We all worked together at school and in our parish. We had home
masses, potlucks, Las Posadas, etc., together with our children. It was in those early days that John taught
Clem the fine art of filling your plate at a buffet or potluck - a skill Clem utilizes to this day! When our
children grew up we continued our friendship, working together at church, going on group vacations, and
getting together for coffee in each other's homes or the Town Center. I served on many committees with John
over the years, and we didn't always agree on things, but we could always agree to disagree. John was a true
visionary and like Robert Kennedy said, (quoting George Bernard Shaw), "Some men see things as they are
and ask why. I see things that never were and ask why not." That quote always reminded me so much of John
– he was always exploding with ideas and visions of how things could be! John was also a great example of a
Christian husband, father, friend, and man of God. His joy in becoming a deacon and serving the people of
God seemed boundless. "Well done good and faithful servant. Enter now into the joy of the Lord." Mt.25:21.
We will all miss you John!

Deacon John – the Master Teacher. I have wonderful
memories of Deacon John but the one that comes to
mind is how much he loved to teach people about the
Catholic Faith. He had a deep love for his Church and
was so good at teaching us, whether it be by a short
homily, a workshop, confirmation class, parent meeting,
or in simple conversation. Deacon John took seriously
Saint Pope John Paul II’s call to Christian Unity and he
made Ecumenism and emphasis in his ministry. This
was always very inspiring to me. BUT nothing inspired
me more than to hear Deacon John sing. He beautifully
chanted the Exultet for many years at our Easter Vigils.
He would lift his voice to heaven every Sunday during
mass with such enthusiasm and joyful praise. I was
glad to be able to sing for him and with him just days
before his death. We have another angel in the angel
choir, singing God’s praises for all eternity. Deacon
John, pray for us.
Anna Betancourt
When I enrolled in the St. Linus R.C.I.A., which was
led then by John, he revealed to us that we must accept
our responsibility to show Christ to the world. Be Christ
to all we encounter, to know God intimately and to
understand the Sacramental gifts that makes it possible.
It was clear that I was not here to, merely, learn the
mechanics necessary to get through the Mass. We were
being challenged to accept a new life, a new way of
loving, to become “A New Creation, in Christ”. To step
outside my Comfort Zone and do what-ever I could to
be Christ to others, in Dn. John’s words “You’re not
being trained to sit on the side-lines, you’re being
prepared to get in the game, you must serve” and after my Baptism the fire he prayed for me to receive was
ignited and continues to grow.
I would have to write a book to tell you of everything that Dn. John has done, or said, that has inspired me to
go beyond my human frailty, embrace the power of the Holy Spirit, and know the Peace that can, only be
found in Christ-Jesus. The greatest example of this came when I was given the privilege, and blessing, of
taking Holy Communion to him the Sunday before Jesus came for him. His condition would, only, allow him
to receive the “Precious Blood”. After entering the house and being greeted by the entire family, Sue spoke to
him and told him that I was there to bring him Communion. He opened his eyes, looked into my eyes and
smiled. My heart filled with Joy. We all sang, prayed, shared Scripture, and prepared to receive Communion.
During prayer, I heard him say once “Lord hear our prayer”. When we were prepared, Sue told him that I was
giving him Communion. When I proclaimed “The Blood of Christ, Amen” he responded “Amen!”. After
receiving, he closed his eyes, and on his face was the most incredible expression. I saw Peace, Love, Joy and
Power all at the same time, and I remember thinking to myself, “I Want That!” I have thought about those
“Miraculous” moments a lot since then. I realize that, as Dn. John would say “God is WOW!” I stand in Awe
of God’s greatness that He has shown me this, through my Big Brother John, Teacher, Life-Preacher, Friend,
and Brother-In-Christ. Sue and Family, from me and my family, Dn. John has always been a Lamp on a
Lampstand, giving Light to everyone in the house and has inspired us to be the same. Thank You, for sharing
with us your great Blessing, in John for over 28 years. Know that we will continue to pray for you, and with
you, and be here for you.
With Gratitude, to the Father, Son, Holy Spirit, Amen.

FIFTEENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
Treasures From Our Tradition
Tradiciones de Nuestra Fe
Many marriage customs stand in tension with
modern American attitudes and values, notably
“giving away the bride,” which is no longer in the
Catholic liturgy, and reminds us of a time when marriage was a contract between men (the groom and the
bride’s father). A Mexican custom, now approved for
use in the United States, has a very different message.
An ancient Roman custom called for smashing
pieces of gold and silver so that bride and groom
could each keep half. This is the origin of today’s
Mexican practice of the groom giving thirteen gold
coins to the bride, symbolically placing all his worldly goods into her care, and a sign of his unconditional trust. The coins are often given in beautiful gift
boxes and are retained as an heirloom. Why thirteen?
The standard explanation is that they represent Jesus
and the apostles. The priest blesses the coins and
pours them into the bride’s cupped hands. Then she
entrusts them to the groom, who later pours them
back into her hands. This enduring ritual is in such
harmony with our tradition’s view of marriage that it
is now increasingly performed by English speaking
Hispanic Catholics at weddings in the United States.
Los evangelios relatan que Jesús envió a los
Doce apóstoles y también a otros setenta y dos discípulos (Marcos 6:7; Lucas 10:1) “de dos en dos” a “todos
los pueblos y lugares”. De esta manera le preparaban el
camino. El libro del Eclesiastés (4:9-12) subraya lo
sabio que es andar de dos en dos a fin de ayudarse y
protegerse mutuamente. El autor lamenta: “¡Pobre del
que está solo, cuando se cae, no tiene quien lo levante!”.
Los cristianos nunca podemos ser cristianos a solas. A Jesús le gustan los grupos. No tenemos el lujo de
ser individualistas o autosuficientes. Nuestra misión
requiere que vayamos por el mundo de dos en dos, porque donde están dos o tres reunidos en el nombre de
Jesús, allí estará él (Mateo 18:20). En el Génesis (7:2)
Noé se lleva los animales de dos en dos, así las especies se volverán numerosas comenzando de dos en dos.
Jesús envía sus discípulos de dos en dos para que nos
amemos y ayudemos los unos a los otros y de esta manera los que vienen después de nosotros, sean tan numerosos como las estrellas del firmamento (Génesis
15:5).

God’s Word Today
Today we hear three stories about people being chosen by God: Amos the prophet, the Twelve, and all
those who are baptized into Christ—which means us!
So often when we think about people such as prophets and apostles who were chosen by God to fulfill a
special task, we think about old bearded men who
seem so far off and remote. Yet these were people
like us, who chose to respond to God’s call within
the context of their everyday lives. Perhaps today’s
scriptures are inviting us to remember the call that
was issued by God at the moment of our baptism.
Listen to the words of Saint Paul in today’s second
reading to discover just what that call entails. Our
world is still in desperate need of prophets and apostles. Peace and justice seem so elusive in our time.
Perhaps today’s word of God will inspire us to respond to God’s call to bring the gospel of salvation
to those we meet in our everyday lives.

La Palabra de Dios Hoy
Hoy escuchamos tres historias acerca de personas
que fueron escogidas por Dios: Amós el profeta, los
Doce y todos los que han sido bautizados en Cristo, o
sea ¡nosotros! Con frecuencia pensamos que los
profetas y apóstoles que fueron escogidos por Dios
para una tarea especial eran hombres viejos y
barbudos que nos parecen muy remotos. Sin
embargo, éstas fueron personas como nosotros, que
decidieron responder al llamado de Dios dentro del
contexto de su vida cotidiana. Tal vez las Escrituras
de hoy nos invitan a recordar el llamado que nos hizo
Dios en el momento de nuestro bautismo.
Escuchemos las palabras de san Pablo en la segunda
lectura de hoy para descubrir lo que ese llamado
conlleva. Nuestro mundo aún está desesperadamente
necesitado de profetas y apóstoles. La paz y la
justicia parecen tan elusivas en nuestra época. Quizás
la palabra de Dios hoy nos inspire a responder al
llamado de Dios de llevar el Evangelio de la
salvación a aquellos que encontramos diariamente en
el camino de nuestra vida.

A MASS WITH HEALING SERVICE
Monday, July 20, 2015 at 7:30 pm
Presider: Father Ismael Robles
Fr. Ismael was born in Zacatecas, Mexico, and
attended Westchester High School, UCLA, and
Cal State Dominguez Hills. He graduated from
St. John’s Seminary in Camarillo and was ordained in June 2013 at the Cathedral of Angels. His inspiration to enter the priesthood is to
be a conduit of God’s peace and love by being a
healer and a prophetic voice of the Lord’s unconditional love and goodness to His people.
While attending a retreat in a rather young age, he
had a meaningful encounter and experienced the
reality of God’s love and caused him to want to
change his way of life. He entered the priesthood
with much hesitation but with God’s grace, his
priestly ministry is now encouraging others to
grow in holiness and develop a close relationship
with the Lord.
Fr. Ismael is an Associate Pastor as St. Pius X
Church in Santa Fe Springs, CA. He conducts
monthly healing masses at St. Pius X Church and
is a speaker at the annual SCRC Charismatic Convention. Come and receive the risen Lord’s healing touch.

ProLife Ministry
Free acupuncture treatment
by local university students!
When I was hungry and
you fed me, thirsty and
you gave me a drink; I
was a stranger and you
received me into your
homes, naked and you
clothed me; I was sick
and you took care of
me, in prison and you
visited me.
I will tell you, whenever you did this for one of the
least of mine, you did it for me.~ Matt 25:35-36, 40
Treatments will be held at St. Linus Church, Room
10 from 12 PM- 4 PM on June 28th & July 25th.
Acupuncture is successful in treating all pain conditions (knee, low back, shoulder, neck); fibromyalgia; insomnia; neuropathy; women’s health; stress;
general wellness; and much much more!
Frequently Asked Questions
What is acupuncture?
It is an ancient medicine, dating back 4000 years, to
use the body’s energy or “qi” to restore health. Sterile, single use needles are placed into specific locations on the body or scalp depending on the condition to manipulate the body’s energy.
Does acupuncture hurt and are there side effects?
Typically it does not cause pain but occasionally
there is a slight pricking sensation upon initial insertion. There are no side effects of acupuncture but
infrequently there is slight bruising or swelling.
Most patient feel very relaxed and energized after
treatments. If you are uncomfortable at any point
during the treatment you should advise your practitioner.
Table of Blessings Meal Ministry
As part of our Pro Life Ministry, we must always
endeavor to minister to the needs of our sick and elderly friends. There are many families within our
community who are caring for loved ones who are in
the late to final stages of life. Although it is a difficult and overwhelming task, it is also a great blessing to be able to spend those final precious moments
with that special person. We often feel helpless in
knowing what we can do to help our friends during
such difficult times. In addition to our compassion
and prayers, we can also offer practical and immediate help. This is where our St. Linus family comes
in! With the blessing of our Pastor, we are gathering
a list of friends who would be willing to provide a
hot meal for a family facing this challenge. If you
would like more information or to sign up to be a
part of this beautiful and loving ministry, please contact Mary Ratanasurakarn at 951/500-0787 or send
an email to our Pro Life address below. Thank You!
A Pro Life Rosary for the Unborn
Our next scheduled Pro Life Rosary will be Thursday, July 16th at 6pm at the Hope Memorial Garden,
(between the church and parish center). Please come
out and join us in praying for the lives of the unborn.
Immediately following the rosary, we will meet in
the Parish Center Conference room to plan future
projects, activities, and events. Come join us! Many
lives depend on us advocating for them! Please call
