Finally, I received a letter of thanks from the Little Sisters of
the Poor for your contribution of $5,250.00 to their annual door
contribution for their work with the elderly. Thanks for your
generosity!
Thanks for a great week and best wishes for a great one to come!
Dear Friends,
May the Lord give you peace!
Pace e Bene,
This weekend we celebrate the greatest of American holidays—
Independence Day! Happy 4th of July to everyone! I really learned
to love the 4th of July as a kid. That was the day that the extended
Sevola Family got together for its family reunion. After a great day
of parades, picnicking, swimming and just hanging out with my
cousins, we would make our way to the other end of the lake to
watch the fireworks. Who doesn’t love fireworks?!?
I loved every minute of the 4th of July then and I still do today.
But as an adult I know that the 4th of July is about a lot more than
family reunions and fireworks. Today I’m aware of our American
heritage, our freedoms, our rights and our responsibilities. Our
American heritage is taken up with so many wonderful things,
from celebrating our history to welcoming the newest immigrants
to our shores. We are proud of what we have accomplished, we are
proud of our historical heroes and we look forward to what lies
ahead and place great hope in our young people. Let us always and
everywhere give thanks for our freedoms and for the brave men
and women who defend these freedoms. Let us do all we can to
protect all our rights and freedoms enshrined in the Bill of Rights.
On this Independence Day let us also remind ourselves of the
responsibilities and duties we have as Americans. We have a
responsibility to be good citizens, to take care of ourselves and to
take care of the neediest in our society. We have the responsibility
to seek peace, care for the earth and defend our country. We have
a responsibility to welcome the stranger and give comfort to the
alienated.
We employ many symbols when we celebrate our American
heritage. Perhaps one of the most enduring symbols is the Statue of
Liberty. She stands in New York Harbor as a symbol of our freedom
and as a sure sign of hope for all who gaze upon her majesty. Let’s
always remember the profound words of Emma Lazarus found
on the base of Lady Liberty: Give me your tired, your poor, your
huddled masses, yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of
your teeming shore, send these, the homeless, tempest tossed to
me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door. Someone in each of
our histories knew those words intimately; let us be sure that the
new immigrants who come to our shores will celebrate them for
generations to come!
As the 4th of July weekend comes to a close and you’re wondering
what to do with yourself for the next week, I give you the
St. Mary’s Carnival! This great week-long event begins Monday,
July 6, and runs through Saturday, July 11. This is a great night out
for the family, a great way to see friends and a great way to support
St. Mary’s! Come on out and have a good time. Many thanks to
everyone who works so hard to make this event a success!

Grace is not part of consciousness; it is the amount of light
in our souls, not knowledge nor reason.
Pope Francis
As people alive today, we must consider future generations:
a clean environment is a human right like any other. It is
therefore part of our responsibility toward others to ensure
that the world we pass on is as healthy, if not healthier, than
we found it.
The Dalhi Lama
We have to work harder to develop a profound theology of
women within the church. The feminine genius is needed
wherever we make important decisions.
Pope Francis
Because we all share this planet earth, we have to learn to
live in harmony and peace with each other and with nature.
This is not just a dream, but a necessity.
The Dahli Lama

por la falta de interés de los demás. Las actitudes que obstruyen
los caminos de solución, aun entre los creyentes, van de la
negación del problema a la indiferencia, la resignación cómoda
o la confianza ciega en las soluciones técnicas”…”Necesitamos
una solidaridad universal nueva”…”La tecnología que, ligada
a las finanzas, pretende ser la única solución de los problemas,
de hecho suele ser incapaz de ver el misterio de las múltiples
relaciones que existen entre las cosas, y por eso a veces resuelve
un problema creando otros”.

5 DE JULIO 2015- XIV Domingo Ordinario
Jesús les dijo: “Todos honran a un profeta, menos los de su tierra,
sus parientes y los de su casa” (Marcos 6:4)
Predicar a las personas conocidas es una tarea muy complicada.
Sin embargo estamos llamados a comenzar nuestra labor misionera
por nuestra propia casa. Es allí donde se hace real el anuncio que
tenemos que llevar al mundo. Comenzar a ser cristianos en nuestra
propia casa nos ayuda a realizar nuestra labor desde la humildad y
la sencillez del que se siente enviado y no dueño de la salvación.
SÁBADO 11 DE JULIO 2015-Memorial de san Benito,
abad
Dotado de una profunda sensibilidad humana, San Benito en su
proyecto de reforma de la sociedad miró sobre todo al hombre,
siguiendo tres líneas directivas: 1) el valor del hombre individual,
como persona; 2) la dignidad del trabajo, entendido como servicio
a Dios y a los hermanos; 3) la necesidad de la contemplación, o
sea, de la oración: habiendo comprendido que Dios es el Absoluto,
y que vivimos en el Absoluto, el alma de todo debe ser la oración:
Ut in omnibus glorificetur Deus (Regla).
Encíclica Papal “Laudato Si”
Estos son algunos de los principales puntos de la encíclica del
papa Francisco “’Laudato si’ (Alabado seas) sobre el cuidado de

“La humanidad aún posee la capacidad de colaborar para construir
nuestra casa común”… “Lamentablemente, muchos esfuerzos
para buscar soluciones concretas a la crisis ambiental suelen ser
frustrados no sólo por el rechazo de los poderosos, sino también

RICA
El Rito de Iniciación Cristiana para Adultos (RICA) es el proceso en el
cual los adultos se preparan para recibir los Sacramentos de Iniciación
(Bautismo, Confirmación y 1ra Santa Comunión). RICA consiste

y el Periodo Post-bautismal de catequesis / Mistagogia. El propósito
primario de RICA es la iniciación de los adultos y niños no bautizados
que han llegado a la edad de la razón, sin embargo el Rito también
se extienda a los adultos bautizados pero no catequizados. Las
clases, en español, comienzan en el mes de septiembre. Los
Sacramentos se reciben durante la Vigilia Pascual, en la noche del
Sábado Santo. Información: Milagros Anto, o Padre Gonzalo. Los

Bendito seas, Señor
Dios de toda la creación.
En tu bondad
nos has creado.
En tu misericordia
nos has redimido,
y en tu siempre amorosa sabiduría
nos sostienes con tu Espíritu.
Nos has dado el don de la fe,
el don de la comunidad de Santa María
y el don de la vocación a
ser tus discípulos.
Te rogamos que ahora nos des los dones de:
la iluminación, para que
a través de nuestras oraciones
podamos conocer
tu santo y verdadero mandamiento;
el discipulado,
para que podamos responder
a las necesidades de la comunidad
y no sólo a nuestras propias necesidades, y
la gratitud, para que, por el bien común,
podamos entregarnos a los demás.
¡Que descubramos lo que nos
corresponde hacer a cada uno, y que
hagamos buenas obras cada día
por el bien de tu Reino!
Amén.
