14th Sunday in Ordinary Time
"The harvest is abundant but the laborers are few; so ask
the master of the harvest to send out laborers for his
harvest." Can we be counted among the laborers? Are
we ready and willing to work for the sake of our faith, or
are we looking for the easy way out?
Our faith is more than a personal experience. It's more
than a routine that fits into our weekly schedule. Our
faith is meant to be shared with others, even when that
requires a bit of work on our part. In today's Gospel,
Jesus calls his followers to "Go on your way," to prepare
people for the Lord. And we are called to do the same.
We are meant to go on our way-out of our homes, and
even out of our churches-to share the good news of the
Gospel and to serve those in need.
It can be tempting to think, "I believe, I go to church,
isn't that enough?" But Jesus tells us that there is an
abundant harvest out there-countless people who may
just need to know that Jesus loves them or that someone
is willing to help. If we don't step up to the task then
those people will miss out on that word of
encouragement, that personal invitation to Mass, that act
of kindness that might have made all the difference in
their life. God may be calling some of us to an even
deeper commitment-to be a lay minister in a parish or to
discern a religious vocation, for example-but there is no
doubt that God is calling all of us to labor for his
kingdom in some way.
This mission isn't for someone else. It's for us to carry
out the work of the disciples because we are today's
disciples. When we accept this mission, we will not only
enjoy seeing the benefits that others receive, we will also
rejoice with those whose "names are written in heaven."
Parish Pastoral Council
This Susan Simard has spent the past
three years actively involved in the
parish life and has been an
important voice on the Parish Pastoral
Council. For the last year and a half Susan
has served as the chairperson, leading the
monthly meetings and guiding the discussion. She has been
instrumental in organizing and bringing new and faith filled
ideas to the table for the benefit of everyone in the parish.
Every parish event, big or small, takes planning,
“marketing” and, let’s face it, hard work to make it a
success! Susan was always willing to go the extra mile and
did so with enthusiasm and a smile. We are sad to announce
that Susan has decided to step down from this committee
yet, at the same time, we know how blessed we are to have
volunteers like her who generously devote time and talent to
help our parish community continue to grow and thrive.
Susan, may God always bless you abundantly for your
devotion to His people and your service to this parish.
In Christ,
Fr. Marcos
Happy Independence Day!

Dear God,
as we celebrate today with fireworks and festivals, help us never
to forget the reason for our joy.
Help us remember that our rights to life, liberty and the pursuit
of happiness were signed into our heritage with the willing blood
of American patriots.
Most of all, help us remember that the rights of all people are
more than words on a document, and that all people have rights
because you have given us the dignity of human life.
Grant freedom to all, and give us the
strength to protect the rights of others.
Amen.

Parroquia San Luis de Gonzaga
Consejo de la Pastoral Parroquial
Bodas
Durante los últimos tres años,
Susan Simard ha participado en
la vida parroquial activamente
y ha sido una voz importante
dentro del Consejo de la Pastoral
Parroquial. Durante este último año y
medio ella ha servido como presidenta de este
consejo, dirigiendo y guiando las reuniones mensuales.
Ella ha sido un miembro clave para organizar y traer
nuevas ideas de formación para toda la comunidad
parroquial.
Cada evento parroquial, sea grande o sea pequeño,
requiere de una planificación, de buena “promoción” y
de mucho empeño para que este sea un éxito; Susan, con
una gran sonrisa y entusiasmo, siempre ha estado
dispuesta a hacer un esfuerzo adicional por que estos
eventos se realizaran perfectamente.
Hoy estamos tristes de anunciar que Susan ha tomado la
decisión de dejar su puesto dentro del Consejo de la
Pastoral Parroquial, sin embargo reconocemos que
somos afortunados de tener voluntarios como ella,
quienes dedican generosamente su tiempo y sus talentos
para que nuestra comunidad parroquial continúe
creciendo y prosperando.
Susan, que Dios te bendiga en abundancia por toda tu
dedicación y tu gran servicio a esta parroquia.
En Cristo,
P. Marcos
Favor de comunicarse a la oficina parroquial seis meses antes
de llevarse acabo el evento.
Bautismos
Las charlas pre-bautismales se ofrecen cada 3er sábado del
mes a la 1pm en Milette Manor. Los padres y padrinos deben
asistir. Los bautizos en español son el 2do y 4to domingo del
mes a las 12:30pm. La próxima charla se llevará a cabo el 16
de julio. Por favor confirme las fechas deseadas antes de hacer
planes.
14º Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario
En el Evangelio de hoy Jesús invita a sus discípulos a
trabajar en el demandante campo de la evangelización. Esta
demanda es entendida muy bien por los inmigrantes que
hacen su labor arduamente y la mayoría de las veces con
dificultades en sus labores. Diariamente hay mucho trabajo
en el campo pero pocos trabajadores comprometidos a
hacerlo bien. Jesús lo describe así. "La cosecha es mucha y
los trabajadores pocos. Rueguen, por tanto, al dueño de la
mies que envíe trabajadores a sus campos". Rogar, pedir,
llevar a cabo, con paga o sin paga los misioneros
evangelizadores se mueven de un lugar a otro para levantar la
cosecha y en cada nuevo campo seguir plantando la semilla
del Reino de Dios.
¿Qué riesgos has encontrado al compartir el Evangelio a
otros? ¿Cómo has experimentado el gozo del poder
transformativo de Dios en tu vida? Dejar a Dios el cuidado
moderador de cada uno para ser formados en su misión es un
reto de todos los días. La última parte del Evangelio muestra
los aspectos beneficiosos de un
dificultoso trabajo. Los
propios esfuerzos se notan y se ven situaciones nunca vistas
de los discípulos. "Señor, hasta los demonios se nos someten
en tu nombre". El gozo verdadero les viene del poder de
Dios, por haber confiado al llamado de llevar a cabo la
misión. Todos los bautizados que responden a la invitación
de ir a trabajar en la viña nunca van solos. ¡Señor, envía
operarios a tu mies! Así sea.
