From Fr. Michael Shanahan, our pastor
Del Padre Michael Shanahan, nuestro párroco
“Lord, teach us to pray”. This request in today’s Gospel
is perhaps the most sublime of all prayers. Essentially, the
request is that the Lord show them how to position
themselves with God to enable fruitful, mutual communication. When we pray, we are not asking God to
change in any way. Rather, we ourselves are changed by
the prayer.
It takes profound humility to even make the request
to be taught. With humility, we recognize we do not
have everything in control, as much as we may pretend
or want to be. Some people know they are not in charge
of life and life’s circumstances. Those who recognize their
own weakness and vulnerability are the ones who pray the
most. They are often the outcast and the wounded, the overlooked and disdained. They are light in the darkness of destructive pride and arrogance.
Our culture thrives on rugged individualism, personal
accomplishment and notoriety. We fiercely compete in order to be the brightest and best among them all. Today’s
Gospel offers a different way of positioning ourselves in life.
When we pray, we admit we are not the directors in life.
God is. In the Mediterranean world of Jesus, 90% of the people were peasants. The poor instinctively know they are not
in charge of anything. This condition enables a true spirit of
humble prayer. The poverty actually becomes a gift in that it
leads one to God. It is good to recognize whatever is poor in
ourselves. Lord, teach us to pray.
Our Stewards in Action committee begins every meeting with a prayer. One of our recent prayers was “Lord, allow us to hear one another more clearly”. We have been
gathering in preparation for our annual Summer Celebration,
which took place this weekend on Saturday, July 23. It is a
tremendous honor to witness the dedication and generosity
of the committee and many who have contributed to the success of our Summer Celebration and many other events
throughout the year. I will share the financial results as they
are available. In the meantime, we have already been blessed
by the kindness of hundreds of parishioners and friends of
the parish. God bless you.
I view the parish as a birthplace for virtue and goodness. One of the greatest gifts of being a priest is to witness
the special goodness of many people. This is especially
poignant in the hundreds of ministers and volunteers who
contribute every day here. God bless each of you. I also
want to mention a special honor given to one of our parishioners: Precious Deang. She has been a faithful Eucharistic
minister both in church and the hospitals. She has given hundreds of hours with the Stewards in Action committee in
planning our many fundraisers. She has also been a dedicated member of our Financial Council for years. Precious
recently received the Alumna Exemplar Award from the
College of the Holy Spirit North America Foundation. This
award goes to alumnae of that university for “making a difference in the lives of others. That is what we are all about.
Congratulations Precious and God bless.
Father Mike
“Señor, enséñanos a rezar”. Esta solicitud en el Evangelio
de hoy es quizá la más sublime de todas las peticiones. Esencialmente, la solicitud es que Dios les enseñe como posicionarse ante Dios para tener una comunicación mutua y fructífera. Cuando rezamos, no pedimos que Dios cambie en
ninguna manera. Mas bien, somos nosotros los que cambiamos con la oración.
Requiere profunda humildad para que aún esta solicitud sea
enseñada. Con la humildad reconocemos que no tenemos
todo bajo control, por más que pretendamos o queramos
que sea así. Alguna gente sabe que no están a cargo de la
vida o de las circunstancias de la vida. Hay aquellos que reconocen sus propias debilidades y vulnerabilidad y son los que
más rezan. A menudo ellos son los rechazados y los heridos, los
olvidados y desdeñados. Ellos son la luz en la oscuridad del
orgullo destructivo y la arrogancia.
Nuestra cultura se nutre de individualismo, la realización
personal y la notoriedad. Nosotros competimos ferozmente con
el fin de ser el más brillante y mejor entre todos. El Evangelio
de hoy ofrece una forma diferente de posicionarnos en la vida.
Cuando oramos, admitimos que no somos los directores de la
vida. Dios es. En el mundo mediterráneo de Jesús, el 90% de la
población era campesina. Los pobres saben por instinto que no
están a cargo de nada. Esta condición permite un verdadero
espíritu de la humilde oración. La pobreza en realidad se convierte entonces en un regalo que nos lleva a Dios. Es bueno
reconocer lo que está mal en nosotros mismos. Señor, enséñanos a orar.
Nuestros Mayordomos en Acción comienzan cada reunión
con una oración. Uno de nuestras recientes oraciones fue
"Señor, permítenos escuchar los unos a los otros con mayor
claridad". Nos hemos estado reuniendo en preparación para
nuestra Celebración anual de Verano, que se llevó a cabo este
fin de semana, el sábado, 23 de Julio Es un gran honor ser testigo de la dedicación y generosidad del comité y de los muchos
que han contribuído al éxito de nuestra Celebración de Verano
y de muchos otros eventos durante todo el año. Voy a compartir
los resultados financieros cuando estén disponibles. Mientras
tanto, ya fuimos bendecidos por la bondad de cientos de feligreses y amigos de la parroquia. Dios los bendiga.
Considero a la parroquia como el lugar de nacimiento de la
virtud y la bondad. Uno de los regalos más grandes de ser
sacerdote es ser testigo de la bondad especial de muchas personas. Esto es especialmente conmovedor en los cientos de ministros y voluntarios que contribuyen todos los días aquí. Dios
bendiga a cada uno de ustedes. También quiero mencionar un
honor especial dado a uno de nuestros feligreses: Precious
Deang. Ella ha sido un fiel ministro de la Eucaristía, tanto en la
iglesia y en los hospitales. Ella ha dado cientos de horas en el
Comité de los Mayordomos en Acción, en la planificación de
nuestros muchos eventos para recaudar fondos. También ha
sido dedicada miembro de nuestro Consejo Financiero durante
muchos años. Precious recientemente recibió el Premio de
Alumna Ejemplar de la Fundación del Colegio del Santo
Espíritu de Norte América. Este premio es para ex-alumnas de
la universidad que "hacer una diferencia en las vidas de los
demás. Esto es todo lo que se trata. Felicidades Precious y que
Dios te bendiga.

July 27—Kelley and David Dawson: “I came as a
guest and You received me” : The Christian Practice of
Hospitality
As part of his Rule for monastic life, St. Benedict ordered
that all guests should be received like Christ (Rule 53).
While our home is not a Benedictine monastery, we believe that welcoming guests into our home is one of the
most beautiful ways to share the Gospel, be led into
deeper conversion ourselves, and live out our call to service as a married couple. We will discuss how St. Benedict’s words can inform the way we approach and share
our living space in all states of life (married, single, etc).
Bio: Kelley and David have been married since 2011.
Kelley is from Phoenix and David is from Los Angeles.
They both went to Gonzaga University until moving to
CA where David studied Urban Planning at UCLA and
Kelley worked as the Director of Campus Ministry at an
all girls’ Catholic College preparatory. When Kelley began graduate school at Notre Dame in the Master of Divinity program, they made their way to the great Midwest. They love the Art Institute, Bang Bang Pie Shop in
Logan Square, and Italian ice in the summer. They are
expecting their first child in September.
