Our Liturgical Spirituality
Kristopher W. Seaman
More than sixty people gathered in the day chapel of a parish up the road
from where I ministered. I was their seventh speaker, as they had been gathering for over two months. Standing before them after giving a presentation
on the Sacrament of Penance, I asked if there were any questions. A gentleman inquired, “Who is this ‘Jesus’ you keep mentioning?” After the initial
shock of the question, I asked myself: how do I respond briefly to his question? A second hand went up, she likewise asked, “Yeah, who is this ‘Jesus’?”
I then asked the entire group of inquirers, those seeking more knowledge
about Christianity in general and Catholicism in particular as part of the Rite
of Christian Initiation of Adults, “How many people are wondering who Jesus is?” Over a third of the hands went up. So, instead of breaking them into
small groups to reflect on the Sacrament of Penance, I began to tell them
that we come to know not only about Jesus, but who Jesus is especially during liturgy, as well as in daily life as we encounter other human persons and
in the events that speak of God’s love and graciousness.
The principal focus of liturgy is the life of Christ, the one sent by God to bring
salvation (which comes from salvus, meaning healing) to all of God’s people.
We come to know who Christ is through the liturgy. Pope Francis expresses
this well: “Jesus’ whole life, his way of dealing with the poor, his actions, his
integrity, his simple daily acts of generosity, and finally his complete selfgiving, is precious and reveals the mystery of his divine life” (The Joy of the
Gospel, 265). When the Scriptures are proclaimed during the liturgy, it is, as
the Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy states, Christ who speaks (article 7).
Christ is present in his proclaimed Word, inviting us to know him and his
mission for us. We also come to know Christ in the very symbols of liturgy:
bread transformed into Christ’s Body, wine turned into Christ’s Blood, water blessed, and so forth. The prayers, songs, gestures, all communicate who
Christ is in our midst, and his desires for us. Christ’s life is larger than any one
liturgical service could convey. Rather, the power of the liturgical year is that
we enter into “moments” or specific events within Christ’s life or that these
events of Christ enter into us, through our hearing, through our communing,
through our singing, and through our praying. For example, at Christmas
we come to know of the Son of God who became human and dwells in our
midst, who enters into us through his words and his Eucharist. At Easter we
come to know that God will bring life out of death, pain, and betrayal. Over
the course of the liturgical year, we grow in not only knowledge of Christ,
but we grow more Christlike. And to know what Christ is like is principally
through liturgy. He models for us God’s very desires for us.
Once we begin to grow in our knowledge of Christ over the course of the
liturgical year, when we celebrate the liturgical seasons and feast days, we
begin to develop a liturgical spirituality. Pope Francis alludes to this type of
spirituality: “Christ’s resurrection is not an event of the past; it contains a vital
power which has permeated this world. Where all seems to be dead, signs of
the resurrection suddenly spring up. It is an irresistible force” (The Joy of the
Gospel, 276). Because of Christ’s Resurrection, and his presence to us in the
liturgy through the power of the Holy Spirit, Christ’s entire life, his mission,
begins to take hold of us. This fruit of transformation begins to allow us to
see and act how God desires us to on a daily basis.

Stewardship Reflection
“He said to them, ‘The harvest is abundant, but the laborers are few…’”
LUKE 10:2
As Catholics we are
all called to serve
in ministry. However, many of us
are unsure how to
use our talents and
gifts to build God’s
Church. Talk to
God and ask Him
what He wants you to do. The next time one of your fellow parishioners
asks you to help or join a committee, it may be the answer to your prayer.
Reflection and Prayer for Independence Day
from Liturgical Publications Inc
There is a saying, "To those whom much is given, much is expected."
That saying is from Uncommon Wisdom of John F. Kennedy: A Portrait in
His Own Words. That saying should sum up our thoughts as we celebrate
the founding of our country. As we look at our history, we may easily see
that much has been given to this country, and many have sacrificed to
make sure we have kept those gifts. However, our faith informs us that a
gift reaches its ultimate good only when it is given away freely.
We have many gifts, and our country has a long tradition of giving many
gifts to other nations. Let us pray for this great country of the United
States of America:
Heavenly Father,
You have given us the gifts of life and liberty and entrust to your people
the duty to guard these gifts wherever they are threatened.
Help us to protect the freedom of all to follow the Gospel of your Son,
Jesus Christ, and to bring his light and truth to the ends of the earth.
Guide all who play a role in enacting legislation to uphold the freedom
of conscience of all citizens.
Send us your Spirit to inspire in us the wisdom and courage needed to
witness to the truth and to stand up for all whose religious liberty is endangered.
We ask this through Christ, our Lord. Amen.

El sacramento de la Reconciliación es uno de los tesoros más grandes de
nuestra fe católica, porque es por medio de la confesión que experimentamos la sanación y la misericordia de nuestro Señor, por todos nuestros
pecados. Es por esta razón que la Iglesia pide a todos los católicos que
nos confesemos por lo menos una vez al año, y nos invita a frecuentar el
sacramento aún más.
Las confesiones en español:
sábado, 9 de julio, 3:30-4:30 p.m.
miércoles, 13 de julio, 7:00 p.m.
sábado, 16 de julio, 3:30-4:30 p.m.
miércoles, 20 de julio, 7:00 p.m.
sábado, 23 de julio, 3:30-4:30 p.m.
Una Reflexión y Una Oración para El Día de
Independencia Liturgical Publications Inc
Hay un refrán que dice, “A los que han recibido mucho, se les espera
mucho.” Este refrán viene del libro La Sabiduría No-común de John F. Kennedy: Imágenes En Sus Propias Palabras. Para nosotros, este refrán puede resumir los pensamientos, mientras celebramos el establecimiento
de nuestro país. Al mirar nuestra historia, podemos ver que este país
ha recibido mucho, y muchos sacrificaron para que guardemos estos
regalos. Sin embargo, nuestra fe nos informa que un regalo llega a su
bien final solamente cuando se regala libremente. Tenemos muchos regalos, y nuestro país tiene una tradición larga de regalar regalos a otras
naciones. Oremos por nuestro país maravilloso, Los Estados Unidos de
América:
Querido Dios,
Mientras celebramos hoy con cohetes y festivales, ayúdanos a nunca
olvidar la razón de nuestra alegría.
Ayúdanos a acordar que nuestros derechos a la vida, la libertad y la
búsqueda de la alegría fueron firmados con la sangre dada libremente
de los patriotas americanos.
Sobre todo, ayúdanos a acordar que los derechos de todas las personas son
más que solamente palabras en un documento, y que todas las personas
tienen derechos porque Tú nos has dado la dignidad de la vida humana.
Da la libertad a todos y danos la fuerza a proteger los derechos de los demás.
Amén.

¡Regocijen!
Una Reflexión De La
Corresponsabilidad
14 ° domingo del tiempo ordinario
“Él les dijo:” La cosecha es abundante, pero los trabajadores son
pocos ... “” Lucas 10:2
Como católicos estamos llamados a
servir en el ministerio. Sin embargo,
muchos de nosotros no estamos
seguros de cómo utilizar nuestros
talentos y dones para construir la
Iglesia de Dios. Habla con Dios y
pregúntale lo que Él quiere que hagas. La próxima vez que alguien de
tu parroquia te pida que ayudes o
te unas a un comité, esa podría ser
la respuesta a su oración..
¡Que estén consolados!
¡Griten de alegría!
¡Canten alabanzas!
¡Proclamen sus alabanzas gloriosas!
¡Que toda la tierra grite con alegría a Dios!
Tengan orgullo de la cruz de nuestro Señor Jesucristo.
¡Sean una creación nueva!
Reciban paz y misericordia.
Que la paz de Cristo controle sus corazones.
Que la palabra de Cristo more en ustedes.
La cosecha es abundante, hay pocos trabajadores.
¿Cómo están siendo llamados a su cosecha?
“El reino de Dios está aqui para ustedes.”

San Esteban
