MEssage from our Ministers

Twelfth Sunday in Ordinary Time

. . . for to you I have entrusted my cause. . . . - Jeremiah 20:12
 
In your great kindness answer me with your constant help. - Psalm 69:13
 
. . . how much more did the grace of God and the gracious gift of the one man Jesus Christ overflow for the many. – Romans 5:15
 
So do not be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows. – Matthew 10:31


Can we imagine or fathom or comprehend God’s tender, loving care? Can we know how great God’s love and overflowing grace are? Can we dare to desire to be in relationship with this God who has counted all the hairs on our head (Matthew 10:30)? Can we come close to the God who tells us we are “worth more than many sparrows”? Yes!

Doceavo Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario
​​
. . . "porque a ti he confiado mi defensa."
Jeremías, 20 - Bíblia Católica Online
 
"Según tu gran bondad, oh Dios, respóndeme, sálvame tú que eres fiel."
Salmos, 69 - Bíblia Católica Online
 
. . . "la gracia de Dios se multiplica más todavía cuando este don gratuito pasa de un solo hombre, Jesucristo, a toda una muchedumbre."
Carta a los Romanos, 5 - Bíblia Católica Online
 
"¿No valen ustedes más que muchos pajaritos? Por lo tanto no tengan miedo."
Evangelio según San Mateo, 10 - Bíblia Católica Online



¿Podemos imaginar, profundizar  o comprender el tierno y amoroso cuidado de Dios? ¿Podemos saber cuán grande es el amor de Dios y su gracia desbordante? ¿Podemos atrevernos a anhelar, estar en verdadera relación con este Dios que ha contado todos los cabellos de nuestra cabeza (Mateo 10:30)? ¿Podemos acercarnos al Dios que nos dice que "valemos más que muchos pajaritos"? ¡Si!

​AN ACT OF SPIRITUAL COMMUNION
 
My Jesus, I believe that You are in the Blessed Sacrament. I love You above all things, and I long for You in my soul. Since I cannot now receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. As though You have already come, I embrace You and unite myself entirely to You; never permit me to be separated from You. 
 
Sincerely,
Fr. Mark

Stewardship ReflEctions

From our Stewardship Council

12th Sunday of Ordinary Time
​“Everyone who acknowledges me before others I will acknowledge before my heavenly Father.”
MATTHEW 10:32


Would others know that you are Catholic by the way you act and speak?  Do you share your Catholic faith with others?  Do you defend your Catholic faith when the situation arises or do you remain silent?  Do you pray in public before meals?  Pray for the strength and courage to be a joyful witness of our Catholic faith when the opportunity presents itself.  Let us become the radiant light and bold witness that we are called to be!


​

12º domingo del Tiempo Ordinario
​"Al que me reconozca delante de los demás, lo reconoceré ante mi Padre celestial". MATEO 10:32

¿Sabrían otros que eres católico por la forma en que actúas y hablas? ¿Compartes tu fe católica con los demás? ¿Defiendes tu fe católica cuando surge la situación o permaneces en silencio? ¿Oras en público antes de las comidas? Ora por la fuerza y ​​el coraje para ser un testigo alegre de nuestra fe católica cuando se presente la oportunidad. ¡Convirtámonos en la luz radiante y el audaz testigo que estamos llamados a ser!

Prayer for Father's Day

Amen.

Spiritual Communion

Even if one cannot sacramentally receive the Eucharist, everyone should be aware of the practice of making a spiritual communion. The following is a daily prayer for Spiritual Communion:

O my Jesus, I believe that You are in the Blessed Sacrament.
I love you above all things, and I desire to receive you into my soul.
Since I cannot at this moment receive you sacramentally,
come at least spiritually into my heart.
I embrace you as if you were already there and
unite myself wholly to you.
Never permit me to be separated from you.
Amen.

saINT OF THE wEEK

Sts. Thomas More and John Fisher

d. 1535
Feast Day - June 22

Sts. Thomas More and John Fisher were Renaissance men. Talented and energetic, they contributed to the humanist scholarship of early modern England. More wrote theological and philosophical treatises, while making a career as a lawyer and government official. Bishop John Fisher worked as an administrator at Cambridge, confronted the challenge Martin Luther presented to Christian Europe, and most importantly served as Bishop of Rochester. As a bishop, he is notable for his dedication to preaching at a time when bishops tended to focus on politics. These men were brilliant. They both corresponded with Erasmus, who helped Bishop Fisher learn Greek and Hebrew, and who also famously referred to More as a man omnium horarium, a man of all seasons.

​Above all their accomplishments, these men bore witness to a deep faith in Christ and his Church. More considered joining religious life and was assiduous in his devotional practices. As a married man, he committed himself wholly to his vocation as a father. At the time, disciplinary practices with children tended to be severe, but More’s children testify to his warmth, patience, and generosity. St. John Fisher was a model shepherd and demonstrated remarkable humility. He remained in the small Diocese of Rochester his entire episcopal ministry, devoting himself to his local church rather than seeking promotion to a larger, more powerful diocese. 

More and Fisher are well-known for opposing King Henry’s divorce. Ultimately, it was their refusal to sign an oath of supremacy that led them to be executed. King Henry VIII claimed to be the supreme head of the Church in England, asserting sovereign power over English Christians. Neither Fisher nor More could abide this claim, and their steadfastness to their consciences put them in conflict with the king. They were convicted of treason. 

When More made his way to the gallows, he is said to have stated, “I die the King’s good servant, but God’s first.” Both More and Fisher were patriots. They never rose up to incite rebellion or foment revolution. They were not traitors. But when the law of the king came into conflict with the law of Christ, they chose Christ. These men gave their lives for the freedom of the Church and for freedom of conscience. They bear witness to the truth that no government can make a claim on a person’s soul.​

​

Santo Tomás Moro y san Juan Fisher fueron hombres del Renacimiento. Talentosos y enérgicos, contribuyeron a la erudición humanista en la Inglaterra de comienzos de la era moderna. Tomás Moro escribió tratados teológicos y filosóficos, además de ejercer como abogado y funcionario público. El obispo Fisher trabajó como administrador de Cambridge, confrontó el desafío que Martin Luther presentó a la Europa católica y, lo más importante, se desempeñó como obispo de Rochester. En su función pastoral, fue notable por su dedicación a predicar en un tiempo en el que los obispos tendían a enfocarse en política. Estos hombres eran brillantes. Ambos se comunicaban por carta con Erasmo, quien ayudó al obispo Fisher a aprender griego y hebreo, y que famosamente también se refería a Moro como un hombre omnium horarium, un hombre de todos los tiempos.

Por encima de todos sus logros, estos hombres dieron testimonio de una profunda fe en Cristo y en su Iglesia. Moro consideró unirse a la vida religiosa y era asiduo en sus devociones. Como hombre casado, se comprometió enteramente a su vocación de padre. En aquel tiempo, la disciplina de los niños tendía a ser severa, pero los hijos de Moro fueron testigos de su calidez, paciencia y generosidad.

San Juan Fisher fue un pastor modelo y demostraba una humildad notable. Permaneció en la pequeña diócesis de Rochester durante todo su ministerio episcopal, dedicándose a su iglesia local más que a buscar el ascenso a una diócesis mayor y más poderosa.

Moro y Fisher son muy conocidos por oponerse al divorcio del Rey Enrique. Finalmente, fue su negativa a firmar un juramento de supremacía lo que los llevó a ser ejecutados. El Rey Enrique VIII se autonombró cabeza suprema de la Iglesia en Inglaterra, afirmando el poder soberano sobre los cristianos de aquel país. Fisher ni Moro aceptaron esta acción ilegítima, y sus compromisos de conciencia los pusieron en conflicto con el rey. Ambos fueron condenados bajo cargos de traición.

Se dice que cuando More caminaba hacia la horca, afirmó: “Muero siendo el buen siervo del rey, pero primero de Dios”. Moro y Fisher eran patriotas. Nunca se levantaron para incitar la rebelión ni fomentar la revolución. No eran traidores. Pero, cuando la ley del rey entró en conflicto con la ley de Cristo, escogieron a Cristo. Estos hombres dieron sus vidas por la libertad de la Iglesia y por la libertad de conciencia. Hasta el día de hoy el testimonio de ellos confirma la verdad de que ningún gobierno puede reclamar el alma de una persona..​
