Bulletin, June 14, 2015
W Y e are finally getting back to the "numbered Sundays," (what in Latin is called "Ordinary Time"--the numbered weeks--not "ordinary" as in "run of the mill," but "numbered"--and this is the 11th Sunday of the "numbered weeks;") actually this is "the Season of the Holy Spirit"--the time the silent Presence of God makes astounding things happen. And this year's "theme" of the readings is "the struggle" to comprehend and live the message. The readings open with a metaphor about tree growth--a shoot from the top (new growth area) of a Lebanon cedar--the largest of trees-and planting it Israel's Golan Heights where it will grow abundantly. BUT, does it mean that "Israel" will grow to dominate the area of Lebanon, OR that Lebanese people will ultimately make their home in Israel-AND, will either situation be one of peace? A struggle. In the second reading, Paul struggles with finding strength to go on--any you thought that was just your problem, didn't you? The Gospel provides some resolution: while all the "struggles of life" go on, Something Is At Work...and seeds grow, we don't know how, and do amazing things--a little bit of mustard can take over a field in no time. There is a Generosity all around us that aids us. We all need to "know" that in the midst of our own life's struggles. - Fr. Bill Axe a estamos de regreso a los “domingos contados,” (conocido en latín como el “Tiempo Ordinario”- las semanas contadas– no ordinario, como lo cotidiano, pero contadas– y este es el domingo 11 de los domingos contados. Estamos en el Tiempo del Espíritu Santo– el Tiempo de la Presencia de Dios que hace cosas maravillosas. Y el “tema” de las lecturas es la “lucha” de comprender y vivir el mensaje. Las lecturas empiezan con una metáfora– un brote en lo alto del Cedro Líbano– el árbol más grande– será sembrado en las tierras de Israel donde crecerá en abundancia. Pero, ¿será que Israel crecerá para reinar sobre Líbano, o que el pueblo de Líbano finalmente mirará a Israel como su patria? ¿Y tendrán paz en cualquiera de estas situaciones? Es definitivamente una lucha. En la segunda lectura, encontramos a un Pablo que lucha para seguir adelante; así vemos que no sólo somos nosotros. El Evangelio nos da esperanza: mientras que todo en la vida es una lucha para seguir, hay algo que está tomando lugar… que al sembrar la semilla crece, y aunque no sepamos cómo, da a fruto cosas maravillosas– un granito de mostaza que llenará la tierra en poco tiempo. Tenemos una abundancia en nuestras vidas que nos ayuda a seguir, y todos deberíamos de saber esto en medio de nuestras luchas. - Padre Bill Axe Countdown to Pope Francis arrival to the US: 101 days! ¡Faltan 101 días para que llegue el Papa a los Estados Unidos! -Alfio Mazzei -Allie Smith -Alicia Jimenez Bravo -Anabel Manriquez -Andres Luna -Archie Brown II -Arlasha Allen -Barbara Harvey -Barbara Viramontes -Bertha Antee -Carlos Antonio Vasquez -Charley Johnson -Christina Paul -Constantino Perez -Damacio Horta -Darwin Varela -Dulce Maria E.

The Holy Spirit always emphasizes what they’ve done right." Marianne Williamson in A Return to Love To build and foster a Christian Community that offers the opportunity to experience God’s unconditional love and acceptance to all who come into contact with it. W e live in a place that does not have a kingdom and so sometimes these readings don't make much sense to us. Yet there is still a lesson here for us. We tend to think that when God's Kingdom comes it will reflect our own values and agendas more than they do God's. Whether one is liberal or conservative or something else, we tend to imagine that God's will being done on earth would look a lot like what we and our like-minded friends would like to see happen. But the parable of the Kingdom in today's Gospel, seems to emphasize that the Kingdom arrives not through our efforts but by God's grace. Let us all try to look at our work and world through those lenses and see if we could learn to live together in peace under God's banner. Have a wonderful week, Sr. Karen Collier SAVE THE DATE: Parish Picnic Sunday, July 19th, 2015 At Veteran’s Park in Culver City Construyendo y alimentando una comunidad cristiana que ofrezca la oportunidad de experimentar el amor incondicional de Dios y la aceptación a todos con quienes nos encontremos. D ebido a que vivimos en un lugar sin reino, se nos hace difícil relacionarnos con las lecturas, pero aún así podemos ver una enseñanza. A veces pesamos que cuando llegue el Reino de Dios, lo nuestra será más importante que lo de Dios. Seguido pensamos que la voluntad de Dios será muy parecida nuestras mentalidad y de nuestros amigos en cuando a lo que queremos que pase. Pero la parábola de hoy nos dice que el Reino viene no por lo que hacemos, pero más importante, por la gracia de Dios. Vivamos sabiendo estoy e intentemos vivir mejor juntos y encontrar la paz bajo el reinado de Dios.
