From the Desk of Father Jonathan
It's impossible even to imagine the degree of suffering
among the families of the victims in last week's
massacre in Orlando. Let us pray, pray, pray....for their
comfort and that this may never happen again.
Tuesday,June21st|SaintAloysiusGonzaga
We should also use our intellect to understand the
causes and motives of the shooting. Until we have all of
the facts, we can't know with certainty all of what was
in the mind of the killer. But we do know he was filled
with hatred toward his victims. Based on his own
statement of allegiance to the Islamic State, we know he
justified his action with an ideology that says God
blesses the killing of infidels.

12:00pm

This is a lie. God never commands us to kill the innocent. As Pope Francis says often, "the name of God is
mercy".

You and I can't stop every hateful action, but we can
work together to build a civilization of love. We begin
by rejecting every form of hatred. In this case, the killer
targeted people at a gay club. We know he also
expressed previously his hatred toward black people,
Jews, and Christians. None of this is acceptable.
8:30am Carmine Navarra
12:00pm Maria, Michael and Mario Campanelli
6:30pm Richard Pizzonia
Our children need to hear, over and over again, in our
families and in our churches, that we reject every type
of violence, bigotry, and prejudice. And we treat people
with respect, even people with whom we disagree.

REFLECTING ON GOD’S WORD
Sunday Gospel: Luke 9, 18-24
RIFLESSIONE SULLA PAROLA DI DIO
Vangelo della Domenica: Luca 9, 18-24
asks his disciples “Who do you say that I
am?” (Luke 9:20). Peter replies that Jesus is the
Messiah, the anointed one of God. Jesus’ question is one
that we have to answer for ourselves if we are to live as
his disciples today. It is easy to avoid a direct answer,
just following the rules and saying the right prayers,
without ever facing this question. Marianne lives in a
small town. “I’d heard this passage many times before,
but one day in parish Bible study it was as if I were
hearing it for the first time. Driving home, I knew Jesus
was the one whom God had sent into this world for me.
Is Jesus the center of your life? If not, why not?
La confessione di Pietro, l’annuncio della passione di
Gesù e l’invito a seguire il suo esempio costituiscono
un’unità organica. Gesù è il Messia, ma non come
quello di cui fantasticavano gli uomini. Egli segue il
cammino tracciato da Dio, che è il cammino della croce.
Chiunque vuole essere con lui, deve seguirlo in questo
cammino. Rispetto agli altri evangelisti, Luca introduce
alcuni cambiamenti ed accenti caratteristici. Non cita il
luogo della conversazione di Gesù con i discepoli, lega
questa conversazione alla preghiera di Gesù e,
soprattutto, rivolge a tutti l’invito ad imitare Cristo. È
un invito importante, che non è rivolto solo agli eletti, ai
santi e agli uomini pronti all’eroismo. Tutti i credenti
sono discepoli di Cristo. Egli non li tratta come
mercenari, ma come amici, vuole che lo accompagnino
nel suo cammino e prendano parte alle sue sofferenze. Il
suo destino deve essere anche il loro. Che essi portino
ogni giorno la loro croce. Gesù non parla del martirio,
che può capitare una sola volta, ma delle sofferenze che
ognuno incontra nell’adempimento serio del proprio
dovere e delle difficoltà quotidiane che devono essere
sopportate pazientemente grazie all’amore per lui.

MEMORIALS OFFERED THIS WEEK
Jesus
I knew there would be consequences! No more teasing
my friend about her ‘What would Jesus do?’ bracelet!”
she said. “I’ll be asking myself this question all the
time.” Challenges remain for Marianne: she cares for her
elderly mother and copes with diabetes, but she says, “I
trust in God more and I’m more open with other people
than ever before.”

REFLEXIONEMOS LA PALABRA DE DIOS
Evangelio del Domingo: Lucas 9, 18-24
Jesús
le pregunta a sus discípulos: “Según ustedes,
¿quién soy yo?” (Lucas 9:20). Pedro responde que Jesús
es el Mesías, el ungido de Dios. La pregunta de Jesús
también la debemos contestar nosotros si hemos de vivir
como discípulos suyos. Es fácil evadir una respuesta
directa, conformarnos con cumplir las reglas y decir las
oraciones correctas sin confrontar esa pregunta. Mariana
vive en un pueblo pequeño. “He oído este pasaje muchas
veces, pero un día durante un estudio bíblico en la
parroquia fue como si lo escuchara por primera vez.
Manejando de regreso a casa, caí en cuenta de que Jesús
es el enviado de Dios para mí. ¡Y sabía que esto me iba a
traer consecuencias!
Ya no me iba a reír más de mi amiga con su brazalete
con la inscripción, ‘¿Qué haría Jesús?’, pues yo misma
me estaré haciendo esa pregunta todo el tiempo”, dice
Mariana. Los desafíos continúan para Mariana, ya que
aparte de sufrir de diabetes cuida también de su mamá
anciana. Pero dice ella: “Ahora confío más en Dios y
estoy más abierta que nunca a los demás”.
Viviendo la Palabra de Dios
¿Es Jesús el centro de tu vida? Si no es así, ¿por qué no?

The Nativity of Saint John the Baptist
Friday, June 24
Saint John was great before God because in complete
forgetfulness of himself he lived only for Jesus Christ, who
is the source of all greatness. Sacrifice every day some of
your natural inclinations to the Sacred Heart of Our Lord,
and learn little by little to lose yourself in Him.
