l Church Office Closed July 4

Está caliente –y, oficialmente, estamos de nuevo en condiciones de sequía, y acabamos de esquivar otra tormenta. Debbie se fue en otra dirección, pero podría haber llegado aquí. Me complace informarles que la parroquia tiene un plan de preparación para los desastres. Aunque esperamos que nunca tengamos que utilizarlo, cada

uno de nosotros tiene que saber qué acciones vamos a tomar en caso de que llegue un huracán o una tormenta. Los animo a estar preparados. Los obispos de Estados Unidos han convocado a una “Quincena de Libertad”, este fin de semana, como el anterior, estamos rezando una letanía al final de las Misas. De la página web de la Arquidiócesis: “Los obispos de Estados Unidos han dedicado los 14 días a partir del 21 de junio –la vigilia de las celebraciones de San John Fisher y San Thomas More– al 4 de julio, Día de la Independencia, a una ‘quincena por la libertad’ –un gran himno de oración por nuestro país. Nuestro calendario litúrgico celebra

una serie de grandes mártires que permanecieron fieles ante la persecución del poder político –San John Fisher y San Tomás Moro, San Juan Bautista, Santos Pedro y Pablo, y los Primeros Mártires de la Iglesia de Roma. Culminando en el Día de la Independencia, este período especial de oración, estudio, catequesis y acción pública enfatizará nuestra herencia de libertad tanto Cristiana como Americana.” El Cardenal DiNardo celebrará una misa a las 9:30 am en la Co-Catedral del Sagrado Corazón. Todos están invitados. ¡Que siempre permanezcamos fieles a todos los valores Cristianos!

It’s HOT—and, officially, we’re back in drought conditions, and have just dodged another storm. Debbie went off in another direction, but could have come here. I am happy to inform you that the parish has a disaster plan prepared. While we all hope that we never need to use this, each of us needs to know just what actions we will take if a hurricane or other severe storm hits. I encourage you to be prepared. The US Bishops have called for a “Fortnight of Freedom”; this weekend, as last, we are praying a litany at the end of Masses. From the Archdiocesan website: “The U.S. bishops have dedicated the 14 days from June 21—the vigil of the Feasts of St. John Fisher and St. Thomas More—to July 4, Independence Day, to a ‘fortnight for freedom’—a great hymn of prayer for our country. Our liturgical calendar celebrates a series of great martyrs who remained faithful in the face of persecution by political power—St. John Fisher and St. Thomas More, St. John the Baptist, SS. Peter and Paul, and the First Martyrs of the Church of Rome. Culminating on Independence Day, this special period of prayer, study, catechesis, and public action will emphasize both our Christian and American heritage of liberty.” Cardinal DiNardo will celebrate a Mass at 9:30 a.m. at the Co-cathedral of the Sacred Heart. All are invited. May we always remain faithful to all Christian values!

Thirteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time July 1, 2012 Pastor’s Weekly Message:

Decimotercer Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario 1 de Juliode 2012 Mensaje del Párroco:

Reflexión sobre el Evangelio para el Decimotercer Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario 1 de Julio de 2012

Gospel Reflection for Thirteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time July 1, 2012

Si alguien me conoce bien es mi esposa Lina. Ella sabe lo distraído que soy y siempre me ayuda a tratar de superar esta debilidad. Pero me parece que últimamente voy de mal en peor. ¿Será la edad? ¿Será que estoy abrumado con mis propias preocupaciones? (mas sobre esto al final). No sé, pero a veces paso de largo sin saludar a personas conocidas y reconozco que me hace falta ser más atento, más sensitivo hacia ellos. Si

alguien ha tenido esa experiencia conmigo les pido disculpas, nunca ha sido mi intención ignorarlos. También les pido por favor que me ayuden, haciéndome saber si hay algo a lo que debería estar más atento. El Evangelio de hoy nos ofrece una buena lección sobre ser atentos y sensitivo. Nuestro Señor Jesucristo, a pesar de estar ocupado, específicamente en esta narración, encaminado a la casa de Jairo para sanar a su hija y rodeado de mucha gente que lo apretaba, percibe el suave toque de la mujer que padecía de una hemorragia; se detiene y le ofrece palabras de alivio “…tu fe te ha salvado. Vete en paz y queda sana…”

En mi caso, no hay duda de que mis propias preocupaciones, egoísmo si así se quiere llamar, me impiden ser

más sensible a los demás. El egoísmo es un mal interior que conduce a la muerte, no necesariamente del cuerpo sino del espíritu. Para deshacerme de esta debilidad y, como dice la

primera lectura, tener una vida saludable y nunca morir, necesito acercarme a Cristo. Necesito tocarle con la humildad y la fe de la mujer del evangelio; en cada Misa, en cada Comunión. Dejar que

su poder me libre de todos los males, tales como el egoísmo, las preocupaciones, distracciones, etc. que me arrastran a esa falta de

sensibilidad. Y ya libre de estos males aspirar, como dice San Pablo en la segunda lectura, a distinguirme por la generosidad.

If anyone knows me well is my wife Lina. She knows how easily I get distracted. She always helps me to overcome this weakness. But lately it seems like I have gone from bad to worse. Could it be my age? Could it be that I am overwhelmed with my own preoccupations? (more on this at the end). I do not know, but sometimes I pass by persons that I know without acknowledging them and I realize that I need to be more attentive, more sensitive. If anyone has experienced this from me, I apologize; it has never been my intention to ignore anyone. I also ask you to please help me by making me aware if I should be more attentive to anything. Today's Gospel offers a good lesson about being sensitive and attentive. Our Lord Jesus Christ, despite being busy, on his way to Jairus’ house to heal his daughter, and surrounded by a large crowd who pressed him. He perceives the gentle touch of the woman who suffered from a hemorrhage, He stops and offers her words of comfort "... your faith has saved you. Go in peace and be cured ... " In my case, there is no doubt that my own preoccupations, selfishness if you will, prevent me from being more sensitive to others. Selfishness is an internal illness that leads to death, not necessarily of the body but of the spirit. To get rid of this weakness and, as the first reading says, to maintain a wholesome life and be imperishable, I need to get closer to Christ. I need to touch him with the humility and the faith of the woman in the gospel; in every Mass, in every Communion. Allow his power to free me from all the ills, such as selfishness, worries, distractions, etc. that drag me to that lack of sensitivity. And free from these ills aspire, as St. Paul mentions in the in the second reading, to excel in “the gracious act of our Lord Jesus Christ.”

Oración por la libertad religiosa

OH SEÑOR, CREADOR NUESTRO. De tu mano bondadosa hemos recibido el derecho a la vida, a la libertad y a la búsqueda de la felicidad. Tú nos has hecho tu pueblo y nos has dado el derecho y el deber de venerarte a ti, único Dios verdadero, y a tu Hijo, Jesucristo. Por el poder y la obra del Espíritu Santo, nos llamas a vivir nuestra fe en el mundo llevando la luz y la palabra salvadora del Evangelio a todos los confines de la sociedad. Te pedimos nos bendigas mientras cuidamos del don de la libertad religiosa. Danos fortaleza de mente y corazón para estar siempre dispuestos a defender nuestras libertades cuando son amenazadas. Danos valentía para que se escuchen nuestras voces en defensa de los derechos de tu Iglesia, y de la libertad de conciencia de todas las personas de fe. Te pedimos, Oh Padre celestial, que en esta hora decisiva de la historia de nuestra nación, y reunidos en tu Iglesia, des a todos tus hijos e hijas una voz clara y unida para que con cada prueba que encaremos, y cada peligro que superemos, por el bien de nuestros hijos, de nuestros nietos, y de todos los que vengan después de nosotros este gran país sea siempre "una nación, bajo Dios, indivisible, con libertad y justicia para todos".

Te lo pedimos por Jesucristo, Nuestro Señor.

Prayer for Religious Liberty O GOD OUR CREATOR, from your provident hand we have received our right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. You have called us as your people and given us the right and the duty to worship you, the only true God, and your Son, Jesus Christ. Through the power and working of your Holy Spirit, you call us to live out our faith in the midst of the world, bringing the light and the saving truth of the Gospel to every corner of society. We ask you to bless us in our vigilance for the gift of religious liberty. Give us the strength of mind and heart to readily defend our freedoms when they are threatened; give us courage in making our voices heard on behalf of the rights of your Church and the freedom of conscience of all people of faith. Grant, we pray, O heavenly Father, a clear and united voice to all your sons and daughters gathered in your Church in this decisive hour in the history of our nation, so that, with every trial withstood and every danger overcome for the sake of our children, our grandchildren, and all who come after us this great land will always be "one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all." We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen. Copyright © 2012, United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, Washington, DC. All rights reserved.

¿Cansado de quejas y lloriqueos? Trate de correr una carrera en su lugar. Las quejas y lloriqueos por lo general ocurren porque el niño o el padre no hace lo que ha querido. Deje que la consecuencia sea el recordatorio. Esté atento a los pasos para reducir las molestias RACE en su hogar durante los próximos cuatro puntos para padres.

** En vez de regañar, ejecutar un R-A-C-E. (Parte 2) A - DE ACUERDO. Si su hijo tiene edad suficiente para participar en la formulación de la reglas algo que se puede hacer es negociar. Por ejemplo, si USTED desea que la regla sea "no tener ropa tirada en el piso", tal vez usted podría acordar con sus hijos a "no tener ropa tirada en el piso, a la hora de dormir" . Las reglas funcionan mejor cuando ambas partes llegan a un acuerdo.

Tired of nagging and whining? Try running a RACE instead. Nagging and whining usually happen because the child or parent doesn’t do what’s wanted. Let the consequence be the reminder. Watch for the R-A-C-E steps to reduce nagging in your home over the next four Parenting Pointers.

** Instead of NAGGING, run a R-A-C-E. (Part 2) A – AGREE. If your child is old enough to participate in the making of the rule, negotiate something you can both live with. For example, if YOU want the rule to be “no clothes on the floor,” maybe you could compromise to “no clothes on the floor by bed time.” Rules work best when both parties have a say.

News from PSM: The Parish Social Ministry office will be temporarily closed from now until mid July due to Mildred’s recovery from surgery.
