"Ask and you will receive; seek and you will find; knock and the door will
be opened to you." This is a promise that anyone would love to hear.
With these words Jesus comforts and reassures us. He suggests that we
will be satisfied and welcomed and fulfilled. His message in today's Gospel assures us that our heavenly Father loves us even more than earthly
parents love their children. So we can enjoy the security of knowing that
God will take good care of us.
But God's care may not always look exactly the way we expect it to. His
care for us is based on knowing what is best for us and what will make
us flourish. And, sometimes, what we
think we need isn't really best. It's important to keep this context in mind.
This prevents us from understanding
Jesus' words today in a selfish way. As
the end of the passage makes clear,
this asking and seeking that Jesus refers to is ultimately fulfilled in the gift
of the Holy Spirit. Jesus is promising us that if we ask God for his Spirit,
he will certainly give it to us, his children.
For most of us, we actually received this gift at our baptism. But have we
taken full advantage of this? Although we may not realize it at first, in
receiving the Holy Spirit we actually receive a whole host of gifts. With
God's Spirit come the sevenfold gifts of wisdom, understanding, counsel, knowledge, fortitude, piety, and fear of the Lord. And the fruits of
the Spirit as St. Paul lists them in Galatians 5 include love, joy, peace,
patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.
God knows that all of these gifts and fruits make us very well equipped
for life on earth, and for eternal life in heaven! What more do we really
need to ask for?
Are You Interested in Spending an Hour Each
Week in Eucharistic Adoration?
Each moment you spend in Christ’s Eucharistic Presence will increase His
Divine Presence within you. Come to adoration.
The Adoration Chapel has an urgent need for one or more committed
adorers for the following hour: Monday at 1:00 a.m. If you can give one
hour a week to be present to Christ in the Eucharistic Chapel, please call
Joyce Schumacher at 612-860-3830.
Baptisms
We welcomed the following children into our faith community through
the Sacrament of Baptism July 17:

Two Workshops Scheduled for All Extraordinary
Ministers of Holy Communion
There are now two workshops scheduled for all Extraordinary Ministers of
Holy Communion Saturday, August 20 from 9:00 a.m. until 10:30 a.m.
and Thursday, August 25 from 7:30 p.m. until 9:00 p.m. At these workshops procedures will be reviewed and questions answered. These workshops are for all Ministers who are currently serving here at St. Stephen’s.
Attendance at only one of the two workshops is required. Please RSVP to
Amanda Lutes: [email protected]; 763-712-7458.
Those who might be considering the ministry of Extraordinary Minister
of Holy Communion are encouraged to contact Amanda as well. Ministers are always needed for all Masses here. Anyone interested in serving will be put in touch with one of the priests for a meeting. If that
person discerns that they are ready to serve after this meeting, one of
the priests will have a formal commissioning session for them. This commissioning session usually takes place after one of the weekend Masses.
Then the new minister will be paired with an experienced minister for
some mentoring and training. New ministers will be encouraged to attend the trainings in August as well.
Persons who have been appointed to be Extraordinary Ministers of Holy
Communion are necessarily to be duly instructed and should distinguish
themselves by their Christian life, faith and morals. Let them strive to be worthy of this great office; let them cultivate devotion to the Holy Eucharist and
show themselves as an example of piety and reverence for this Most Holy
Sacrament of the altar. (Pope Paul VI – Immensae Caritatits)

Pastoral Care
Please Pray for...
Needy, Greedy or Ready for Relationship?
Sr. Mary Anne Schaenzer
Some people are needy and they ask for basics of food, clothing and
shelter.
Others are greedy and just want more and so ask for more.
For others asking may be based on a formed relationship.
In Genesis 18, we read about how Abraham pleaded with God for the
sake of others.
God could have just said, “They deserve it!” But he knew that there
were also people who produced good fruit.
The psalmist acknowledges the response of God to asking by praying,
“Lord, on the day I called for help, you answered me.”
In the Gospel reading (Luke 11) we read Jesus’ parable of the persistent
friend. Jesus reaches deep into the heart of his listeners to evoke a
response of shame at not responding and yet the confidence that the
friend will respond.
Jesus goes on to say, “If you then, who are wicked, know how to give
good gifts to your children, how much more will the Father in heaven
give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him?”
The good gift that we are given by God is the Holy Spirit, “ultimately a
communication of the sense of being enfolded by God’s love… that
convinces disciples that they enjoy here and now the relationship with
God characteristic of the kingdom” (The Hospitality of God, by Brendan Byrne, p. 107).
Be Renewed By God's Mercy
Pope Francis said, "Let's not forget that God forgives and God forgives
always." If you or someone you love is grieving the loss of a child or
children to abortion, come and experience the healing mercy of Jesus
Christ on our weekend retreat. The next Rachel’s Vineyard Twin Cities'
retreat is August 5-7. For more information contact Nancy at rachels@
rvineyardmn.org, call 763-250-9313, or see www.rvineyardmn.org.
With Sympathy
The prayers and sympathy of the parish are offered to the family and friends
of Harold Gab and Anthony Petsuch.

Stewardship Reflection
“Ask and you will receive; seek and you will find; knock and the door will
be opened to you.” Luke 11:9
Jesus assures
us that if we
ask Him, God
will take care of
what we need.
The problem
is that in our
culture we often
confuse
what we really
need with what we simply want. Many people need very little. However,
we usually want so much more. A good steward only asks God for what
he needs.

El Sacramento de La Reconciliación
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:
miércoles, 3 de agosto, 7:00 p.m.
miércoles, 10 de agosto, 3:30-4:30 p.m.
sábado, 20 de agosto, 3:30-4:30 p.m.
miércoles, 24 de agosto, 3:30-4:30 p.m.
Una Reflexión para el 17o Domingo del Tiempo
Ordinario © Liturgical Publications Inc
“Pide, y recibirás; busca y encontrarás, toca y se te abrirá la puerta.” Es
una promesa que cualquiera persona le gustaría escuchar.
Con estas palabras, Jesús nos consuela y nos reasegura. Nos sugiere
que vamos a ser satisfechos y recibiremos la bienvenida. Su mensaje
en el Evangelio de hoy nos reasegura que nuestro Padre Celestial nos
ama más que los padres terrenales aman a sus hijos. Podemos
disfrutar de la seguridad de saber
que Dios nos va a cuidar. Pero el
cuidado de Dios tal vez no parezca
exactamente lo que esperábamos.
Su cuidado de nosotros se basa en
saber que es mejor para nosotros,
y que nos va a hacer crecer.
Y, a veces, lo que pensamos nosotros no es lo mejor. Es importante mantener este contexto en la mente. Así, evitamos el malentendido egoísta
de las palabras de Jesús. Como dice al final del texto, el buscar y recibir
que habla Jesús se realiza por medio del don del Espíritu Santo. Jesús
nos está prometiendo que si pidamos a Dios su espíritu, el nos lo va a
dar, somos sus hijos.
Para la mayoría de nosotros, hemos recibido este don en nuestro bautismo. ¿Pero hemos aprovechado de esto? Aunque no nos demos cuenta
al principio, al recibir al Espíritu Santo, estamos recibiendo una multitud
de dones. Con el Espíritu de Dios vienen los siete dones de sabiduría,
entendimiento, ciencia, consejo, fortitud, piedad y temor de Dios. Y los
frutos del Espíritu como San Pablo los escribe en el capitulo 5 de Gálatas
incluyen el amor, la alegría, la paz, la paciencia, la bondad, la generosidad, la fidelidad, y el autocontrol.
Dios sabe que todos estos dones y frutos nos hacen bien preparados
para la vida terrenal, y para la vida eterna en el cielo. ¿Qué más le tenemos que pedir a El, de verdad?

Una Visita de La Virgen

con el Diácono Ramón al 763-712-7482, para ponerse
de acuerdo. Es una bendición para la familia tenerla en
el hogar, y tener una visita de unos miembros de la comunidad, para orar con tu familia.

Una Reflexión De La
Corresponsabilidad
17° domingo del tiempo ordinario
“Pidan y recibirán; Busquen y
encontrarán; llamen y se les
abrirá la puerta.” Lucas 11: 9.
Jesús nos asegura que si le
pedimos, Dios se encargará de
lo que necesitamos. El problema es que en nuestra cultura a menudo confundimos
lo que realmente necesitamos con lo que simplemente
queremos. Muchas personas
necesitan muy poco. Sin embargo, por lo general queremos mucho más. Un buen
administrador sólo pide a Dios
por lo que él necesita.
Sean Renovados por La
Misericordia de Dios
El Papa Francisco dijo, “Que no
olvidemos que Dios perdona, y
siempre perdona.” Si tú, o alguien
que amas esta de sufriendo por
la pérdida de un hijo o hijos por
el aborto provocado, vengan a
experimentar la misericordia y
compasión de Jesús, en un retiro
de un fin de semana. Rachel’s
Vineyard Twin Cities' retreats
son para todos afectados por
el aborto provocado: mujeres,
hombres, abuelos, hermanos y
personas que trabajan en el área
de salud. El próximo retiro es el
5-7 de agosto, en el área de Las
Ciudades Gemelas.
