TAKE UP YOUR CROSS DAILY, AND
BEAR ONE ANOTHER’S BURDENS
T
oday, as he often does, Luke
portrays Jesus “praying in
solitude” (Luke 9:18). The Jubilee
Year of Mercy invites us to rediscover the
value of silence as the prayerful setting in
which to reflect on the ways in which God’s
mercy transforms our lives, in order to
make mercy the heart of our own lifestyle.
But in a line that sounds odd, Jesus “rebuked” his
disciples “and directed them not to tell anyone”
(9:20–21) after they professed their faith in Jesus as
“the Christ of God” (9:20). Jesus challenges us also to
profess our faith not by what we say, but by what we
do: take up our own cross daily (9:23) and “bear one
another’s burdens” (Galatians 6:2). Our gratitude for
God’s mercy toward us should make us instruments of
God’s mercy toward all. Then, as Zechariah prophesies
in today’s first reading, the fountain of God’s mercy
will open to purify the whole world from the sin and
selfishness that cause suffering and sorrow to so many
(Zechariah 13:1).

Blessed is the Father,
Who lets the Lord
Be his guiding hand,
Whose faith brings
His family courage,
Whose wisdom comes from God,
And whose children still stand
And honor him.
May God Bless our Fathers!
Bienaventurado el Padre,
Que deja que el Señor
Sea su mano guía,
Cuya fe le trae
Valentía a su familia,
Cuya sabiduría viene de Dios,
Y cuyos hijos se ponen de pie
Para honrarlo.
¡Dios Bendiga a Nuestros Padres!
TOMA TU CRUZ DIARIAMENTE, Y AYUDA
A LOS OTROS A LLEVAR SUS CARGAS
H
oy, como frecuentemente lo hace,
Lucas presenta a Jesús “orando en
un lugar solitario” (Lucas 9:18). El
Año Jubilar de la Misericordia nos invita a
redescubrir el valor del silencio como una
manera de rezar para reflexionar en qué
manera la misericordia de Dios transforma
nuestras vidas, para hacer que la
misericordia reine en nuestro corazón y estilo de vida. Pero en
un momento Jesús dice algo que suena “extraño”, cuando
“ordena a sus discípulos a no decirle a nadie” (9:20–21)
después de que profesan su fe en Jesús como “El Mesías de
Dios” (9:20). Jesús también nos desafía a profesar nuestra fe
no por lo que decimos, sino por lo que hacemos: “tome su
cruz de cada día” (9:23) y “ayúdense unos a los otros a llevar
sus cargas”. Nuestro agradecimiento por la misericordia de
Dios hacia nosotros debe hacernos instrumentos de la
misericordia de Dios hacia todos. Sigue con el mensaje del
profeta Zacarías en la primera lectura, la fuente de la
misericordia de Dios brotará para purificar al mundo de los
pecados y de las inmundicias que causan sufrimiento y dolor a
muchos (Zacarías 13:1). —Peter Scagnelli, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

DAY!

WITH ALL YOUR HEART • CON TODO NUESTRO CORAZÓN
HEART TO SHARE PRESENTS…
“CHRISTMAS IN JULY”
In our “Heart to Share” season,
“Christmas in July” is an acknowledgement that
hunger never takes a holiday; needs don’t go
away when we go on vacation or when our
routines slow down. “Christmas in July” is a
three-part event taking place this summer to
help remind us of our Christian responsibilities to
care for one another.
In June, we are working with our parish Food Pantry
ministry to solicit donations for children who are home from
school and missing meals provided by their schools.
In July, we will work with Fr. Ennis Village, a ministry that
helps reintegrate recently-released prisoners back into
society.
In August, we will seek donations of school supplies, books
and learning games for our parish ESOL ministry.
In a spirit of selfless love for God and others, with how much
of your heart do you share your resources, energy and
financial gifts, freely, sacrificially, and joyfully?
HEART TO SHARE  CORAZON PARA COMPARTIR
CORAZON PARA COMPARTIR PRESENTA,
“NAVIDAD EN JULIO”
En nuestra serie de "Corazón para compartir”,
el evento de "Navidad en julio" nos recuerda que
el hambre nunca toma vacaciones; las necesidades
no desaparecen cuando nos vamos de vacaciones
o cuando nuestras rutinas cambian. "Navidad en
julio" es un evento cual se llevará a cabo este
verano para ayudar a mantenernos consientes de
nuestras responsabilidad cristiana de cuidarnos unos as los
otros.
En junio, estamos trabajando con el ministerio de la Despensa
de Alimentos de nuestra parroquia solicitando donaciones
para los niños que se encuentran en sus casas durante el
verano y no están recibiendo la comida que le provee su
escuela durante el año escolar.
En julio, trabajaremos en conjunto con el ‘Fr. Ennis Village’, un
ministerio que ayuda a los presos que han sido librados
recientemente a reintegrarse a la sociedad.
En agosto, solicitaremos donaciones de artículos escolares,
como libros y juegos de aprendizaje para nuestro ministerio
parroquial de ESOL.
En un espíritu de amor desinteresado a Dios y a los demás,
¿qué porción de tu corazón usas para compartir tus recursos,
energía y regalos financieros, libremente, con sacrificio, y con
alegría?

We welcome those who are gifted with the ability to play an instrument. Various instrumentalists minister at designated

Share your talents with all of God’s people! If you are interested in the Music Ministry, we would love to have you.
