Dear Parishioners,
Patiently, Awaiting Judgment
Matthew, more than any other evangelist, talks about Jesus leaving and
returning home. Often Jesus leaves the house because crowds have assembled
outside and want to be taught. Today, after having taught and dismissed the
crowds, his disciples follow him home, seeking further explanation of what
seem to be, at least to us today, pretty straightforward parables.
For both Matthew and Mark, when Jesus is in the house with his disciples it signals a special teaching moment, and it should cause us today to perk
up our ears. Usually it is Jesus giving commonsense advice about what it will
mean to follow him. Today is no different. To follow Jesus means to be ready to
encounter the followers of evil, to have to live and work and preach among
them. It means patiently awaiting the judgment that can only come from God,
the judgment of justly deciding who will be thrown into the flame and who
will live to be a brightly shining saint. Let us heed this house-teaching, for it
will be the same for us who follow Jesus Christ today.
Fr. Wilfredo Contreras

Christian Prayer:
Talk About God
• •Society and the pressures of today
offer little opportunity for us to stop
and reflect on our spiritual life. Small
Christian Communities give us
the time, the space, and the direction to reflect on
our relationship with God and others and become
more aware of the times when God touched our
lives, challenged us or spoke to us. Watch for more
announcements about Why Catholic? and when
asked to join, say "Yes!"
Sister Rena Condron of the Franciscan Missionary
Sisters for Africa is visiting us the weekend of, July
26-27.
The Franciscan Missionary Sisters for Africa
work in six countries in Africa--Kenya, South Africa,
South Sudan, Uganda, Zambia and Zimbabwe. Their
work focuses on the needs of the most marginalized
in cities and remote areas, where they provide health
care, food and medicines for the poor as well as
programs and projects addressing all aspects of
poverty. During this Annual Mission Appeal, Sr.
Rena will speak about the Congregation's current
ministries and her mission experience. Since we are
all missionaries of the Church, this is an opportunity
to actively share in mission work in other lands with
financial and personal assistance and our prayers.
Thanks

effort to our recent Vacation Bible School !!!

Prayer For Protection From Storms
God our Father, Creator of the Universe and Lord
over all creation, we humbly stand
before you as your children in thanksgiving for
your loving care and protection. We ask that you
keep us safe from all hurricanes which may
threaten us in the coming seasons.
Protect us from all fear and anxiety of storms and
give us an ardent trust and hope in your love and
mercy. You alone have the power to command the
sea, the wind and the rain. You alone bring peace,
calm, and safety. Father, we thank you in advance
for you are our only refuge. We ask this through
Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with
you and the Holy Spirit,
one God, forever
and ever.
Amen.

Virtus Monthly Training Bulletins
Summer time is a great time to catch up with your
Virtus monthly bulletins:
Where the Virtus live training is an awareness and
prevention program on Child Sex Abuse, the
monthly bulletins allow the education of child
protection to continue in a timely and topical
manner, it is a valuable and necessary tool.
Education is the best resource in changing the
culture with regard to this crime. Everyone with a
Virtus account is expected to read the bulletins.
This way, the Catholic Church continues to be a
leader in protecting those most vulnerable.

Estimados Feligreses
Esperemos Pacientemente El Juicio
Mateo, más que los otros evangelistas, habla sobre Jesús que sale de su
hogar y regresa. Muchas veces sale de su casa porque las multitudes se reúnen
afuera y quieren que les enseñe. Hoy, después de haber enseñado y despachado
a las multitudes, sus discípulos lo siguen hasta su casa buscando más explicación
a lo que parece ser, al menos a nosotros hoy, parábolas muy directas.
Tanto para Mateo como para Marcos, cuando Jesús está en la casa con
sus discípulos siempre significa un momento especial para enseñar y nos debe
hacer prestar atención. Usualmente es Jesús quien nos da consejos sensatos sobre
lo que significa ser sus seguidores. Hoy no es diferente: seguir a Cristo significa
estar listo a encontrarse con los seguidores del mal, tener que vivir y trabajar y
predicar entre ellos, esperando pacientemente ese juicio que sólo puede venir de
Dios, el juicio de decidir justamente quién será arrojado a las llamas y quién vivirá para ser un santo ejemplar. Escuchemos esta enseñanza casera para que
significa lo mismo para nosotros que seguimos a Cristo hoy.

Oración para protección de las Tormentas
Dios Padre, Creador del Universo y
La hermana Rena Condron de las Hermanas Franciscanas Misioneras de África nos visitara el fin de semana de julio 26-27.
Las Hermanas Franciscanas Misioneras de África
trabajan en seis países de África - Kenia, Sudáfrica,
Sudán del Sur, Uganda, Zambia y Zimbabwe. Su trabajo se centra en las necesidades de los más marginados en las ciudades y zonas remotas, en las que proporcionan servicios de salud, alimentos y medicinas
para los pobres, así como los programas y proyectos
que tratan todos los aspectos de la pobreza. Durante
este Llamado Misionero anual, Sr. Rena hablará de
los ministerios actuales de la Congregación y de su
experiencia misionera. Dado que todos somos misioneros de la Iglesia, esta es una oportunidad para compartir de forma activa en el trabajo de misión en otras
tierras con asistencia financiera y personal y nuestras
oraciones.
Señor de la creación, humildemente delante de ti
como hijos tuyos que somos y en agradecimiento
por tu amor y protección
te pedimos que nos cuides
y nos guardes de todo huracán que pueda
amenazarnos en las temporadas que vienen.
Protégenos de todo miedo y de la ansiedad que
viene con estas tormentas
Danos plena confianza y la esperanza
de tu amor y misericordia.
Solo tu tienes el poder y el mando sobre
el mar, el viento y la lluvia.
Solo Tu traes paz, calma y seguridad.
Padre, te agradecemos por adelantado
Porque tu eres nuestro único refugio.
Te pedimos esto en nombre de
Tu hijo Jesucristo
Que vive y reina contigo
y el Espíritu Santo,
Un Dios,
por siempre
Amen.
