"This is how it is with the kingdom of God." What is a kingdom? Is it the brick and mortar that build up the castle? Is it the expanse of land a king can reasonably defend? Our notions of kingdoms may be romanticized in the modern era, but for the
Israelites, a kingdom held deep historical meaning. Thousands of years before the birth of Christ, the Israelites had asked God for a king. After the reigns of David and Solomon, the united kingdom dissolved into factions, and the land was conquered by the Assyrians, Babylonians, and, finally, Romans. For the Israelites, a kingdom was something to build, both structurally and civilly. While this had ended in ruin for their ancestors, many of Jesus' contemporaries longed for the restoration of an earthly kingdom. Jesus' words in today's Gospel are a radical departure from this perspective. He compares the Kingdom of God to a field, but it appears that the farmer has little to do with its progress. "The seed would sprout and grow, he knows not how. Of its own accord, the land yields fruit." Jesus introduces his followers to a new sort of kingdom, a kingdom where God provides the growth. There is work to be done, of course. "When the grain is ripe, he wields the sickle at once, for the harvest has come." But for the Kingdom of God to flourish, there are certain things that are outside of our control. We sow seeds of kindness, justice, and integrity ? and then we must be patient. As shoots of faith appear, we nurture the growth with encouragement. As Christians, our task is not to build the Kingdom of God under our power alone, but to trust in the life-giving movement of God.

We recently had Father Enrique Hernandez from the Milwaukee Archdiocese Vocation Office visit our parish to discuss ways to increase vocations to the priesthood and religious life. He said to pray, talk to your children (and grandchildren), and to support vocations within the parish. There are many ways to pray for an increase to vocations. A simple prayer is the Memorare. Saint (Mother) Teresa of Calcutta, when she needed something important such as a new orphanage, would pray this prayer thousands of times. Her prayers were always answered. We have posted it here so if you wish to pray this daily for vocations, you may cut it out and place it in a prominent place. Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that any one who fled to thy protection, implored thy help or sought thy intercession, was left unaided. Inspired with this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins my Mother; to thee do I come, before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful; O Mother of thy Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer me. Amen.

XI DOMINGO DEL TIEMPO ORDINARIO (17 de Junio 2018)
¡El Reino de Dios se parece a una semilla de mostaza. Esta es la más pequeña de las semillas y, sin embargo, produce un arbusto grande.
(Mr 4:26-34) "LA MÁS PEQUEÑA DE TODAS LAS SEMILLAS…" • Es precioso ver como Jesús, busca en la vida y en los acontecimientos elementos e imágenes que puedan ayudar a la multitud a percibir y experimentar la presencia del Reino. En el evangelio de hoy
Jesús, de nuevo, cuenta dos pequeñas historias que acontecen todos los días en la vida de todos nosotros: “La historia de la semilla que crece por si sola” y “La historia del grano de mostaza que crece y se vuelve grande”. • La historia de la semilla que crece por sí sola. El agricultor que planta conoce el proceso: semilla, hilito verde, hoja, espiga, trigo. No usa la hoz antes de tiempo. Sabe esperar. Pero no sabe como la tierra, la lluvia, el sol y la semilla tienen esta fuerza de hacer crecer una planta desde la nada hasta la fruta. Así es el Reino de Dios. Sigue un proceso, tiene etapas y plazos para crecer. Va aconteciendo. Produce fruto en un tiempo determinado. Pero nadie sabe explicar su fuerza misteriosa. Nadie es dueño. ¡Solo Dios! • La historia del grano de mostaza que crece y se vuelve grande. La semilla de mostaza es pequeña, pero crece y, al final, los pajaritos hacen el nido entre sus ramas. Así es el Reino. Comienza bien pequeño, crece y alarga sus ramos para que los pajarillos hagan sus nidos. Empezó con Jesús y unos pocos discípulos. Jesús fue perseguido y calumniado, preso y crucificado. Pero creció y sus ramas se fueron extendiendo. • Jesús contaba muchas parábolas. ¡Y sacaba todo de la vida de la gente! Así ayudaba a las personas a descubrir las cosas de Dios en la vida de cada día. Volvía lo cotidiano transparente. Ya que lo extraordinario de Dios se esconde en las cosas ordinarias y comunes de la vida de cada día. La gente entendía las cosas de la vida. En las parábolas recibía la llave para abrirla y encontrar los signos de Dios. El reino de Dios está allí, escondido en esa santidad de la vida cotidiana, esa santidad de todos los días. Porque el reino de Dios no está lejos de nosotros, está cerca. El reino de Dios es humilde, como la semilla: humilde; pero se hace grande por el poder del Espíritu Santo. Y a nosotros nos toca dejarlo crecer en nosotros, sin gloriarnos. Los Santos Padre decían que la semilla era Cristo: Inmenso, se hizo "semilla” en el vientre de María; así como las semillas de mostaza deben ser tributadas para que se puedan usar, así Jesús debió ser "triturado” por nuestros pecados para ganarnos el cielo.
