Psalm Lord, it is good to give thanks to you (Psalm 92). Second Reading Whether we are at home or away, we aspire to please the Lord (2 Corinthians 5:6-10). Gospel It is the smallest of all seeds, and becomes the largest of plants (Mark 4:26-34) READINGS FOR THE WEEK Monday: 2 Cor 6:1-10; Ps 98:1, 2b, 3-4; Mt 5:38-42 Tuesday: 2 Cor 8:1-9; Ps 146:2, 5-9a; Mt 5:43-48 Wednesday: 2 Cor 9:6-11; Ps 112:1bc-4, 9; Mt 6:1-6, Thursday: Friday: 2 Cor 11:1-11; Ps 111:1b-4, 7-8; Mt 6: Cor 11:18, 21-30; Ps 34:2-7; Mt 6:19-23 Saturday: 2 Cor 12:1-10; Ps 34:8-13; Mt 6:24-34 Sunday: Jb 38:1, 8-11; Ps 107:23-26, 28-31; 2 Cor 5:14-17; Mk 4:35-41 ALL IS GRACE On Sundays in Ordinary Time, the Old Testament reading is selected for the light it sheds on the day s Gospel. Today, Ezekiel sees God lifting up the lowly tree and making the withered tree bloom. So in the second parable of today s Gospel, Jesus encourages us by promising that, as fragile seeds grow into an abundant harvest, and the tiny mustard seed into a hearty plant, so God will grow the kingdom from small beginnings to an instrument of salvation for all. In the first parable, the land yields fruit of its own accord (Mark 4:28). Not only is the initiative God s, but the parable teaches that the seed s growth, though invisible at first, is actually unstoppable! To be sure, those who depend on the impressive or dramatic in order to be convinced or encouraged will be disappointed in the slow unfolding of the kingdom that Jesus announces. But for those who do accept the kingdom, all is grace, and that grace is certain. Though the second reading is not coordinated with either the first reading or Gospel on these Sundays, today s is thematically appropriate. Saint Paul argues that our experience of God s trustworthiness thus far should make us a people of undaunted courage and unshakeable faith. But at the same time Paul warns that faith should also make us aware of our responsibility to do good. Copyright J. S. Paluch Co.

In the West, our story is more complicated by constant change and variation. As the world s structures tottered in the ninth century, bishops and priests stepped into the void left by collapsing civil structures. For the first time, marriage was referred to as a sacrament, and wedding ceremonies were to be in public (assuring the free consent of the bride) after an investigation of the couple by a priest. The custom of the blessing of the bridal room diminished, and was finally forbidden in 1012 by the Council of Rouen, although it continued for centuries. In the diocese of Perigueux in France, a ritual from 1827 had the parish priest clad in surplice and stole sprinkling the bridal couple as they stood modestly in their pajamas by the wedding bed. Next the bed and all those present were sprinkled, too! That s a tradition that few Americans, either the betrothed or the clergy, are ready to revive!

5 Eleventh Sunday in Ordinary Time Living God s Word God of all life, we thank you for the many ways life continues to flourish in our world and in our land. Bless the life you have entrusted to our care. Guide us in raising it to harvest. Remove any obstacles we place in its way. We ask this in Jesus name. Pope Francis' Prayer Intentions for June The Holy Father's universal prayer intention for June is: That immigrants and refugees may find welcome and respect in the countries to which they come. His intention for evangelization is: That the personal encounter with Jesus may arouse in many young people the desire to offer their own lives in priesthood or consecrated life. Save the Date: Vatican Organist to Perform at St. James Cathedral on August 28 Juan Paradell Solé, Vatican organist, will perform a free concert on Friday, August 28 at St. James Cathedral in Orlando beginning at 7 p.m. A native of Barcelona, Spain, Solé is the Titular Organist to the Vatican s Sistine Chapel Choir and performs regularly at all papal liturgies in St. Peter s Basilica. He is also Organist Emeritus of the Basilica of Mary Major in Rome and Professor of Organ and Gregorian chant at the Licino Refice Music Conservatory in Frosinone, Italy. A free-will offering will be taken during the concert to benefit Bishop Grady Villas, which supports persons with disabilities to use their Godgiven gifts to achieve greater independence, physical and emotional well-being, and spiritual growth. For more information, contact cthatcher@orlandodiocese.org, Reflecting on God s Word I watch most of the children in my three brothers families growing into what is called emerging adulthood. It must be very difficult at times for parents, only being able to watch, hope, and pray as their children start to move away from home and begin to make their own way into the world. Will they be safe, make the right choices, be happy? Making use of images from nature, scripture reminds us that God gives the growth, whether it is to mighty cedars springing from small shoots, ripened grain sprouting from the blade, or a fully grown mustard plant emerging from the tiniest of seeds to offer its large branches as housing for the birds. Such poetic language calls us to reflect on the mystery of the kingdom of God, whose seeds were found in the various covenants extended to Noah, Abraham, Moses, and David, and then fully enfleshed in Jesus so many millennia ago. This kingdom continues to sprout in our day, often where least expected. Sometimes it breaks through like a mighty cedar, but more often it is a quieter blossoming, suddenly emerging like stalks of grain, or the first signs of life carried in a mother s body. I am sure God has worried for all the children of every age who have filled the earth. The kingdom of life won by Christ continues to have the power to carry all God s sons and daughters into the loving arms of the God Jesus taught us to call Father.

6 Undécimo Domingo Del Tiempo Ordinario Page 6 Undécimo Domingo Del Tiempo Ordinario 14 de junio de 2015 El justo crecerá como una palmera, se alzará como un cedro del Líbano; plantado en la casa del Señor, crecerá en los atrios de nuestro Dios. Salmo 92:14 LECTURAS DE HOY Primera lectura He levantado en alto el árbol humilde (Ezequiel 17:22-24). Salmo Señor, es bueno dar gracias a ti (Salmo 92). Segunda lectura Ya estamos en casa o fuera, aspiramos a agradar al Señor (2 Corintios 5:6-10). Evangelio Es la más pequeña de todas las semillas, y se convierte en la más grande de las plantas (Marcos 4: 26-34) LECTURAS DE LA SEMANA Lunes: 2 Cor 6:1-10; S 98:1, 2b, 3-4; Mt 5:38-42 Martes: 2 Cor 8:1-9; S 146:2, 5-9a; Mt 5:43-48 Miércoles: 2 Cor 9:6-11; Ps 112:1bc-4, 9; Mt 6:1-6, Jueves: 2 Cor 11:1-11; Ps 111:1b-4, 7-8; Mt 6:7-15 Viernes: 2 Cor 11:18, 21-30; S 34:2-7; Mt 6:19-23 Sábado: 2 Cor 12:1-10; S 34:8-13; Mt 6:24-34 Domingo: Jb 38:1, 8-11; Ps 107:23-26, 28-31; 2 Cor 5:14-17; Mc 4:35-41 Vivamos la Palabra de Dios Dios de la vida, te damos gracias por las tantas maneras que la vida continúa floreciendo en nuestro mundo y en nuestra nación. Bendice la vida que has confiado bajo nuestro cuidado. Guíanos para que llegue a producir una cosecha. Quita cualquier obstáculo que pongamos en el camino. Te lo pedimos en nombre de Jesús. Reflexionemos sobre la Palabra de Dios Veo que la mayoría de los hijos en las familias de mis tres hermanos están llegando a esa etapa que algunos llaman la edad de adultos emergentes. Debe ser muy difícil a veces para los padres ver a sus hijos salir del hogar y comenzar su propio camino en el mundo; orar y esperar lo mejor para ellos es lo que hacen los padres en ese momento mientras se preguntan: estarán seguros, harán decisiones correctas, serán felices? Las Escrituras usan imágenes de la naturaleza para recordarnos que Dios da el crecimiento, ya sea a los magníficos cedros, que salen de pequeños retoños, a los granos maduros que brotan de la espiga o al arbusto que brota de una de las semillas más pequeñas y ofrece sus ramas para que los pájaros aniden en ellas. Ese lenguaje tan poético nos pide reflexionar en el misterio del reino de Dios, cuyas semillas estaban en los varios pactos que se extendieron a Noé, Abraham, Moisés y David hace muchos milenios, y que después se encarnaron plenamente en Jesús. Este reino continúa brotando en nuestro tiempo, a menudo donde menos lo esperamos. Algunas veces brota como un magnífico cedro, pero más a menudo florece de una manera más discreta y emerge de súbito como las espigas de los granos o como los primeros signos de vida en el seno de una madre. Estoy segura de que Dios se ha preocupado por todos sus hijos e hijas que han poblado la tierra en cada generación. El reino de la vida que Cristo ganó tiene el poder también hoy en día para llevar a todos los hijos e hijas de Dios hacia los brazos de este Dios que Jesús nos enseñó a llamar Padre.
