They are offered for the seven moments in life when He knew we would need the help of special grace. In Baptism, we are cleansed of original sin, become members of the Body of Christ the Church & heirs to the promises of God. In Confirmation, we are confirmed in the gifts of the Holy Spirit first given in Baptism. In the Eucharist, we receive the Body of Christ, the food we need for our journey through life to the Father. In Reconciliation, we are forgiven our trespasses against God in all the ways we fail to love. In the sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick, we receive the grace of healing, forgiveness and strength at a time when our own resources often fail. In Matrimony, God seals the love of a man and a woman with a grace so that their marriage can mirror the relationship between Christ and his Church; a relationship that is faithful, fruitful and permanent. In the Sacrament of Holy Orders, the grace is given for men to become another Christ offering himself and others as a sacrifice to the Father. Preparation is offered for the celebration of all these essential encounters with God. Please call the Rectory for further information so that your celebration of the sacraments can more fully bear witness to a living, explicit and fruitful faith.

SIXTEENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME As an agricultural society, the people of Israel would have been very familiar with the image of the shepherd and his sheep. The shepherd protects and provides security, but he is also tender and loving. He knows each of his sheep their personalities and quirks, and he lays down his life for his sheep. So, we can take great comfort in the revelation to Jeremiah that it is the Lord himself who will shepherd his people. God gathers us up as his flock through his son Jesus Christ who is the righteous shoot to David who shall reign and govern wisely. It is Christ who leads us to verdant pastures, that place of rest where even in the harsh deserts of Israel (or the deserts in our lives), we still have everything we need because we have the Lord. So, where do we find rest in the Lord in church, at mass, in prayer, in quiet meditation, in nature? In our very busy lives, we must find these places of rest in the Lord because he personally invites us there. The world cannot provide the peace that our hearts truly desire, and as long as we seek pleasure and enjoyment in material and worldly things, we will always come away unsatisfied. That deep longing in our heart can only be satisfied by the one who created us in his own image the one who truly knows us and gives us true peace. The crowd in the Gospel realized this as well, which is precisely why, upon realizing where Jesus and his disciples were going, they hastened there on foot from all the towns. They wanted to be with him. It is only in Jesus Christ, who is our peace, where we find the rest that only God can provide. This is the place where God wants to meet us, to encounter us, to remove the heavy burdens of life that weigh us down. These readings also give us an opportunity to reflect on the shepherds among us and the importance of praying for those who lead and guide us along in our faith journeys. We should pray often for Pope Francis, as the shepherd of the universal church; for Cardinal Wuerl, as the shepherd of our local diocese; and the shepherds here at St. Michael s, our pastor Msgr. Tolentino and associate Fr. Saulo. We pray that they all may be shepherds after the heart of Christ. Finally, we must pray for seminarians and vocations to the priesthood and for men and women to respond to God s call by asking the master of the harvest to send out laborers for his harvest. Seminarian Robert Boxie WEEKLY VERSE When he disembarked and saw the vast crowd, his heart was moved with pity for them, for they were like sheep without a shepherd; and he began to teach them many things. - Mk 6:34 Page 1

When He saw the people gathered, however, He put His needs aside to meet the needs of others. Sometimes, as good stewards, we are called to do the same. Christian Stewardship and the Need for Recreation Is there such a thing as a stewardship of recreation? Some people might dismiss the thought. But they d be wrong. In his book, The Gift of the Jews, author Thomas Cahill observes that, in re-ceiving the Ten Commandments, the ancient Hebrews did something no other ancient society had ever done: they established a day of rest. The God who made the universe and rested bids us to do the same, calling us to a weekly restoration of prayer, study, and recreation (or recreation). For those of us in the Northern Hemisphere at least, probably no other month bids us to relax as the month of July does. Backyard barbecues, days at the pool or the beach, a recreational outing or simply the lazy idleness of a mid-year Sunday afternoon invite us to slow down. And this invitation should be heeded. Sometimes, our society induces in us a sense of guilt if we re not doing. But turning off the computer and the phone and spending quality time with those around us, or finding time for our own interior lives, is stewardship of our time which leads to the place where God dwells. It s a good example for our kids as well: July presents a wonderful time to rest from all the electronic screens and busyness that dominate their young lives. July is also the month when U.S. citizens celebrate the proclamation of their freedom. When the Hebrew people first received the Ten Commandments, they too had just received their freedom from the Egyptians after a sojourn in the wil-derness. Cahill thinks it s no coincidence that a people recently liberated were in need of a directive to rest and reflect. Leisure, he writes, is the necessary ground of creativity, and a free people are free to imitate the creativity of God. So, the next time you feel guilty about a quiet, reflective time of doing nothing remember that recreation also means re-creation and that to be a truly creative person, a steward of our interior resources, we must honor our need to rest, relax, be with others, read and play. Stewardship Saint for July - Saint Martha Just before Jesus final entry into Jerusalem, his close friends, Martha, her sister, Mary, and brother, Lazarus, entertained Jesus at their home in Bethany (John 12:1-8). Martha served, while Mary anointed his feet. It is in the simple statement, Martha served, that we recognize Martha for her witness to stewardship. She isn t a prolific evangelist, she doesn t work miracles. She simply serves Jesus. Jesus may have been a frequent visitor to Martha s home and perhaps this is one of the reasons the Gospel of John reveals to us that Jesus loved Martha, and her sister Mary, and Lazarus (11:5). This unique statement in the Gospel informs us of the special relationship Jesus had with Martha and her siblings. And, as another one of Jesus visits to Martha s home affirms, Martha continues to be concerned that Jesus be served. Like any good steward, hospitality was very important to Martha (Luke 10:38-42). What is most revealing about Martha is on the occasion of the death of Lazarus (John 11:1-44). Martha takes an active role, going out to meet Jesus to let him know what happened to her brother while Mary stays at home. Jesus as-sures her that Lazarus will be raised from the dead. With courage and conviction, Martha confesses her deep faith in Jesus Christ: I know he will rise, in the resurrection on the last day. Then Jesus said to her: I am the resurrection and the life; whoever believes in me, even if he dies, will live, and everyone who lives and believes in me will never die. When he asked Martha if she believed this, she replied: Yes, Lord. I have come to believe that you are the Messiah, the Son of God, the one who is coming into the world. (John 11:24-27). The feast of Saint Martha, a witness to service who confessed her faith in Jesus, is July 29. She is the patron saint of homemakers, cooks, domestic workers, waiters and waitresses, and hotel employees.

5 DECIMO SEXTO DOMINGO DEL TIEMPO ORDINARIO Como una sociedad agrícola, el pueblo de Israel habría estado muy familiarizado con la imagen del pastor y sus ovejas. El pastor protege y proporciona seguridad, pero también es tierno y amoroso. Él conoce cada una de sus ovejas y sus personalidades y peculiaridades, y él da su vida por sus ovejas. Así, podemos tomar una gran comodidad en la revelación a Jeremías que es el Señor mismo quien apacentará a su pueblo. Dios nos reúne como su rebaño por medio de su hijo Jesucristo, que es el "vástago legítimo de David... que reinará y gobernará sabiamente." Cristo es el que nos lleva a "verdes praderas", ese lugar de descanso donde incluso en los duros desiertos de Israel (o los desiertos en nuestras vidas), todavía tenemos todo lo que necesitamos porque tenemos el Señor. Así que, dónde encontramos descanso en el Señor? En la iglesia, en la misa, en la oración, en la meditación tranquila, en la naturaleza. En nuestras vidas muy ocupadas, tenemos que encontrar estos lugares de descanso en el Señor porque él personalmente nos invita allí. El mundo no puede dar la paz que nuestros corazones verdaderamente desean, y siempre y cuando buscamos el placer y el disfrute de las cosas materiales y "mundanas", siempre nos encontraremos insatisfechos. Ese profundo anhelo en nuestro corazón sólo puede ser satisfecho por el que nos creó a su imagen, el que realmente nos conoce y nos da la verdadera paz. La multitud en el Evangelio se dio cuenta de esto también, que es precisamente por qué, al darse cuenta de dónde iban Jesús y sus discípulos, "se apresuraron a pie desde todos los pueblos." Ellos querían estar con él. Es sólo en Jesucristo, que "es nuestra paz", donde nos encontramos con el resto que sólo Dios puede dar. Este es el lugar donde Dios quiere reunirse con nosotros, para encontrarnos, para eliminarnos las pesadas cargas de la vida que nos agobian. Estas lecturas también nos dan la oportunidad de reflexionar sobre los "pastores" entre nosotros y la importancia de orar por aquellos que nos guían a lo largo de nuestros caminos de fe. Debemos orar a menudo para el Papa Francisco, como el pastor de la Iglesia universal; por el cardenal Wuerl, como el pastor de nuestra diócesis local; y los pastores aquí en San Miguel, nuestro párroco Mons. Tolentino y su asociado, Padre Saulo. Oramos para que todos sean pastores según el corazón de Cristo. Por último, debemos orar por los seminaristas y las vocaciones al sacerdocio y para los hombres y mujeres para responder al llamado de Dios por "pedir al dueño de la mies que envíe obreros a su mies." VERSO BIBLICO Cuando Jesús desembarcó, vio una numerosa multitud que lo estaba esperando y se compadeció de ellos, porque andaban como ovejas sin pastor, y se puso a enseñarles muchas cosas. - Mc 6, 34 Lecturas para la semana del 19 de julio de 2015 Domingo: Jr 23, 1-6/Ef 2, 13-18/Mc 6, Lunes: Ex 14, 5-18/Mt 12, Martes: Ex 14, , 1/Mt 12, Miércoles: Ex 16, /Jn 20, Jueves: Ex 19, /Mt 13, Viernes: Ex 20, 1-17/Mt 13, Sábado: 2 Cor 4, 7-15/Mt 20, Domingo siguiente: 2 Re 4, 42-44/Ef 4, 1-6/Jn 6, 1-15 Ofrenda Semanal: Para ver los detalles de la ofrenda, Por favor vaya a la página dos del boletín. ACTIVIDADES JUVENILES Seminarista Robert Boxie Le invitamos a todos los jóvenes a Cub Scouts: Tropa # 23 que se reúne en el primer y tercer viernes de cada mes a las 7:00 pm en Inglés, en el Centro Parroquial. También, el Grupo Juvenil en español (edades años) se reúne todos los viernes a las 7:30pm en el Centro Parroquial. Todos los jóvenes adultos (19-33 años) se reúnen el sábado a las 7:30pm en el Centro Parroquial. La Corresponsabilidad Cristiana y la necesidad para la Recreación Existe tal cosa como una corresponsabilidad de recreación? Algunas personas podrían descartar el pensamiento. Pero harían mal. En su libro, El don de los Judios, autor Thomas Cahill observa que, en la recepción de los Diez Mandamientos, los antiguos hebreos hicieron algo que ninguna otra sociedad antigua había hecho nunca: se estableció un día de descanso. "El Dios que hizo el universo nos invita a nosotros para hacer lo mismo, que nos llama a una restauración semanal de oración, estudio y recreación (o re-creación)." Para aquellos de nosotros en el hemisferio norte, al menos, probablemente ningún otro mes nos invita a relajarnos más que el mes de julio. Barbacoas, día en la piscina o en la playa, una excursión de recreo o simplemente la recreación de un domingo de descanso en la tarde del domingo a mediados de año que nos invita a reducir la velocidad. Y esta invitación debe ser escuchada. A veces, nuestra sociedad induce en nosotros un sentimiento de culpa si no estamos "haciendo algo". Pero apagar el ordenador y el teléfono y pasar tiempo de calidad con los que nos rodean, o encontrar tiempo para nuestra propia vida interior, es la administración de nuestra vida, el tiempo que lleva al lugar donde Dios habita. Es un buen ejemplo para nuestros niños, así que: julio presenta un momento maravilloso para "descansar" de todas las pantallas electrónicas y ajetreos que dominan sus jóvenes vidas. Julio es también el mes en EE.UU. que ciudadanos celebran la proclamación de su libertad. Cuando el pueblo hebreo primero recibió los Diez Mandamientos, también habían acabado de recibir su libertad de los egipcios después de una estancia en el desierto. Cahill cree que no es coincidencia que un pueblo recientemente liberado estaban en necesidad de una directiva para descansar y reflexionar. "El descanso", escribe, "es la base necesaria de la creatividad, y un pueblo libre es libre de imitar la creatividad de Dios." Así que, la próxima vez que se siente culpable por un momento tranquilo, reflexivo de hacer "nada" recuerde que recreación también significa "re-creación" y que sea una persona verdaderamente creativa, un corresponsable de nuestra recursos interiores, debemos honrar a nuestra necesidad de descansar, relajarnos, estar con los demás, leer y jugar.
