MEssage from our Ministers17th Sunday in ORdinary Time
But his servant objected, “How can I set this before a hundred people?”
- 2 Kings 4:43 The eyes of all look hopefully to you, and you give them their food in due season. . . . - Psalm 145:15 . . . as you were also called to the one hope of your call. . . . - Ephesians 4:4 Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, said to him, “There is a boy here who has five barley loaves and two fish; but what good are these for so many?” - John 6:8-9 Sometimes we are confronted with things that seem impossible. We give up because we cannot see beyond the natural. If we trust God with eyes of faith and hearts of hope, amazing things can happen. What is the food or nourishment we are seeking? Can we let go of what our natural eyes see and open our eyes of faith? Can we entrust the seemingly impossible to God, believing that “the hand of the Lord feeds us; [that God] answers all our needs” (Responsorial Psalm Refrain)? Decimoséptimo Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario
"43. Su servidor dijo: «¿Cómo voy a dar esto a cien hombres?" - II Reyes, 4 - Bíblia Católica Online " Los ojos de todos fijos en ti, esperan que les des a su tiempo el alimento;" - Salmos, 145 - Bíblia Católica Online . "4.Un solo Cuerpo y un solo Espíritu, como una es la esperanza a que habéis sido llamados." - Efesios, 4 - Bíblia Católica Online "Andrés, el hermano de Simón Pedro: 9.«Aquí hay un muchacho que tiene cinco panes de cebada y dos peces; pero ¿qué es eso para tantos?»" - Juan, 6 - Bíblia Católica Online A veces nos enfrentamos a cosas que parecen imposibles. Nos damos por vencidos porque no podemos ver más allá de lo natural. Si confiamos en Dios con ojos de fe y corazones de esperanza, pueden suceder cosas asombrosas. ¿Cuál es el alimento o la nutrición que buscamos? ¿Podemos dejar ir lo que ven nuestros ojos naturales y abrir nuestros ojos de fe? ¿Podemos confiar lo aparentemente imposible a Dios, creyendo que “la mano del Señor nos alimenta; [que Dios] responde a todas nuestras necesidades ”(Estribillo del Salmo Responsorial)? 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 PUBLIC CELEBRATION OF MASS - COVID-19

Dear parishioners,
There has been a revival of activity in our parish and all of the parishes of our local Church, the Catholic Diocese of Stockton. When we hear the word “revival” we usually think of how protestant pastors used to gather people in large tents for boisterous services called “revival meetings”. For us, however, we are happy to see an end to gathering in tents and to finally be able to go inside and to have Mass inside the church! We who are Catholics, are experiencing a true revival because we know that watching Mass virtually is not the same as attending Mass and enjoying the Real Presence of Jesus in the Holy Eucharist. It is therefore very appropriate that our bishop Myron Cotta has asked all parishes to participate in what he calls a “Eucharistic Revival”. He wants every priest and every parish to spend time re-discovering the Eucharist and re-learning the meaning of the Mass. It happens that from now until August 15, we will be hearing gospel readings at Sunday Masses from the sixth chapter of the Gospel of John, which is the “Bread of Life sermon” that Jesus gave at Capernaum. Here at Presentation Parish, the priests will explain that the Eucharist is truly the Bread from Heaven which we must eat to have life in us. There is no revival without the Eucharist. Also, for homework, all of us can spend time at home during the week learning about the Eucharist by viewing the many video catechesis which are available online. Our bishop invites everyone to go to a special page on the diocesan website where you can find links to many of these wonderful videos. The webpage is called “Re-Learning the Mass” and it can be found at https://stocktondiocese.org/relearning-the-mass. I would especially recommend the videos by a recently ordained priest from our Diocese, Fr. Larry Machado. He grew up in Turlock and studied liturgy in Rome. Also, I hope you watch the videos created by Brandt Pitre, who is a delightful young man from Louisiana who is an expert in the Old Testament Jewish roots of our faith. The diocese also gives a few documents which you can read. I would especially recommend:
Also recommended are some books to read. I would especially recommend three of them:
I hope that these resources, as well as the rousing sermons that you will hear on Sundays, will help create a true “Eucharistic Revival” at our parish! Fr. Mark 17º Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario MENSAJE DE FR. MARK: Queridos feligreses, Ha habido un resurgimiento de la actividad en nuestra parroquia y en todas las parroquias de nuestra iglesia local, la Diócesis Católica de Stockton. Los católicos estamos experimentando un verdadero resurgimiento y un gran avivamiento porque sabemos que ver la Misa virtualmente no es lo mismo que asistir a la Misa y disfrutar de la Presencia Real de Jesús en la Sagrada Eucaristía. Por lo tanto, es muy apropiado que nuestro obispo Myron Cotta haya pedido a todas las parroquias que participen en lo que él llama un “Avivamiento Eucarístico”. Quiere que cada sacerdote y cada parroquia dediquen tiempo a redescubrir la Eucaristía y a volver a aprender el significado de la Misa. Cae muy bien porque desde ahora hasta el 15 de Agosto, estaremos escuchando lecturas del evangelio en las Misas Dominicales del sexto capítulo del Evangelio de Juan, que es el “sermón del Pan de Vida” que Jesús pronunció en Capernaum. Aquí en la Iglesia Presentación, los sacerdotes explicarán que la Eucaristía es verdaderamente el Pan del Cielo que debemos comer para tener vida en nosotros. No hay avivamiento sin la Eucaristía. Además, como tarea, todos podemos pasar tiempo en casa durante la semana aprendiendo sobre la Eucaristía viendo los muchos videos de catequesis que están disponibles en línea. Nuestro obispo invita a todos a visitar un sitio web especial donde pueden encontrar enlaces a muchos de estos maravillosos videos. El sitio web se llama "Aprendiendo sobre la Misa" y se puede encontrar en el sitio web diocesano de la Diócesis de Stockton stocktondiocese.org/aprendiendo-la-misa. En español hay links en el sitio de internet para dos videos en Español: 1. Misa explicada 2. La Misa/ Lección 1: Un encuentro privilegiado por el obispo Robert Barron Para los que saben inglés, yo recomiendo especialmente los videos de un sacerdote recientemente ordenado de nuestra Diócesis, el P. Larry Machado. El fue criado en Turlock y estudió liturgia en Roma. Además, recomiendo los videos creados por Brandt Pitre, quien es un encantador joven de Louisiana que es un experto en las raíces judías del Antiguo Testamento de nuestra fe. El sitio web también ofrece algunos documentos que se pueden leer. Recomendaría especialmente: 1. La Santificación del Domingo - Dies Domini – por el Papa San Juan Pablo II - esto es un excelente explicación de la importancia del domingo que es “el Dia del Señor”. 2. La Eucaristía en su relación con la iglesia - Ecclesia de Eucharistia” por el Papa San Juan Pablo II 3. “La Eucaristía: Fuente y Culmen de la vida de la iglesia” – “Sacramentum Caritatis”, por el Papa Benedicto XVI 4. “Catequesis sobre la Santa Misa” por el Papa Francisco Para los que saben leer Inglés, el sitio de internet de la diócesis recomendó algunos libros para leer. Yo recomiendo especialmente tres de ellos: 1. “Jesus and the Jewish Roots of the Eucharist” by Brant Pitre 2. “A Biblical Walk Through the Mass,” by Edward Sri 3. “The Lamb's Supper,” by Scott Hahn ¡Espero que estos recursos, así como los sermones conmovedores que escucharán los domingos, ayuden a crear un verdadero “avivamiento eucarístico” en nuestra parroquia!

March 27, 1935 - July 28, 1981
Feast Day: July 28 An Oklahoma farm boy, Father Stanley Francis Rother was born in Okarche, Oklahoma. Ordained a priest for the Diocese of Oklahoma City and Tulsa in 1963, he served in the diocese’s Guatemala mission for fourteen years, ministering to the native Tzutuhil tribe. Fr. Stan (or Padre Francisco, as he was affectionately known), learned the Tzutuhil language and became one with his poverty-stricken flock, ministering to his parishioners in their homes, eating with them, visiting the sick, aiding with medical problems and helping on their farms. While he served in Guatemala, a civil war raged between the militarist government forces and the guerillas and hundreds of thousands of Catholics were killed due to the Church’s insistence on helping people. Eventually, Fr. Stan was targeted. For his safety, he returned to Oklahoma, but was not able to hold himself back from his people. After a short period that was akin to his own “Garden of Gethsemane” moment, he returned to his people, famously saying that “the shepherd cannot run.” Within days of his return to Santiago Atitlan, three men entered the rectory and killed him. A true imitation of the Good Shepherd who laid down his life for his flock, Fr. Stan was declared a martyr and beatified in 2017.
