2 Tenth Sunday in Ordinary June 5, 2016 HOPE AND LIFE Today s readings tell the story of two widows. The first reading relates the plight of the widow with whom the prophet Elijah stayed; the Gospel tells about the widow of Nain. In each story, the widow s only son had died. For people who lived in those cultures, the son was the only support of a widow, and the carrying on of the family name by the son was equal to immortality. A widow whole only son has died could lose all hope. Elijah and Jesus are the restorers of hope; they bring the sons back to life. We Christians may not be able to raise the dead, but perhaps we can rekindle hope for a single parent. - Copyright J.S.Paluch Co. Next Sunday s Scripture Readings Eleventh Sunday in Ordinary June 12, 2016 First Reading: 2 Samuel 12:7-10, 13 The Lord God forgave your sin; you will not die. Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 32:1-2, 5, 7, 11 Lord, forgive the wrong I have done. Second Reading: Galatians 2:16, I live now, not with my own life but with the life of Christ who lives in me. Gospel: Luke 36:50 Her many sins were forgiven her, because she has shown great love. Mother of Mercy Mission Statement The parish of Mother of Mercy calls together its people to hear the Word of God and to worship God the Father through the offering of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, the coming together for prayer, and works of charity to spread the truth of the Catholic Faith to our brothers and sisters. June 3 Feast of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus St. Margaret Mary Alacoque, a French nun, whom he called the Beloved Disciple of the Sacred Heart and the Heiress of all Its treasures, in the 1670 s. They show us how much he cherishes this devotion. Considering that the blood that redeemed us at Calvary came from His Sacred Heart and that so much love and light still exude from it, we can easily understand why! These promises were revealed in one of many private revelations that Jesus gave St. Margaret Mary. Listed below are the 12 Promises of the Sacred Heart of Jesus to St. Margaret Mary to encourage all Catholics to know and understand the benefit of practicing the Devotion and to encourage all to take up its immediate practice. 1. I will give them all the graces necessary in their state of life. 2. I will give peace in their families and will unite families that are divided. 3. I will console them in all their troubles. 4. I will be their refuge during life and above all in death. 5. I will bestow the blessings of Heaven on all their enterprises. 6. Sinners shall find in my Heart the source and infinite ocean of mercy. 7. Tepid souls shall become fervent. 8. Fervent souls shall rise quickly to great perfection. 9. I will bless those places wherein the image of My Heart shall be exposed and honored and will imprint My love on the hearts of those who would wear this image on their person. I will also destroy in them all disordered movements. 10. I will give to priests who are animated by a tender devotion to my Divine Heart the gift of touching the most hardened hearts. 11. Those who promote this devotion shall have their names written in my Heart, never to be effaced. 12. I promise you in the excessive mercy of my Heart that my all-powerful love will grant to all those who communicate on the First Friday in nine consecutive months, the grace of final penitence: they will not die in my disgrace, nor without receiving their Sacraments. My Divine Heart shall be their safe refuge in this last moment. Sub Tuum Praesidium, Fr. Buckler

Saints and Special Observances We always find that those who walked closest to Christ were those who had to bear the greatest trials June 6-Saint Norbert, bishop Norbert died in the year 1134.

3 Saints and Special Observances We always find that those who walked closest to Christ were those who had to bear the greatest trials June 6-Saint Norbert, bishop Norbert died in the year He founded (1120) the Premonstratensians or Norbertines, today numbering about 1,350 members. He was the archbishop of Magdeburg. He was a strong supporter of Church reform and evangelization. He was devoted to the Holy Eucharist. June 9-Ephrem, deacon, doctor of the Church Enthronement of the Sacred Heart Father Mateo Crawley-Boevey, a South American priest of the Congregation of the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary, was inspired by God, after his instantaneous cure at Paray-le-Monial, to preach everywhere the Enthronement of the Sacred Heart to verify this promise of the Saviour given to St. Margaret Mary: "I will bless every dwelling where an image of My Heart is both exposed and honoured." Enthronement of the Sacred Heart is a solemn act of a family giving formal recognition of the kingship of Christ over their family and home and the official, ceremonial beginning of a family's commitment to live out the effects of their recognition of Christ's Kingship. During the Enthronement ceremony, a blessed image of the Sacred Heart is hung in the most prominent place in the house and Sacred Scripture is placed before it. Formal prayers are prayed and then each member of the household signs a certificate of the Covenant. Contact Fr. Buckler about getting your home enthroned to the Sacred Heart. Ephrem died in the year 373. He was a Syrian theologian and poet who authored biblical commentaries, homilies and composed hymns. Ephrem founded a theological school at Nisbis; he lived in Edessa (in Mesopotamia). June 11-Saint Barnabas, apostle Barnabas died in the 1st century; preached the gospel in Antioch; companion of Paul. Barnabas attended the Council of Jerusalem; he was martyred on, and patron of, the island of his birth, Cyprus.

4 Décimo Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario 5 de Junio de 2016 ESPERANZA Y VIDA Las Escrituras del hoy nos cuentan la historía de dos viudas. La primera lectura relata la difícil situación en la que vivía la viuda con la que el profeta Elías se quedó y el Evangelio cuenta la historia de la viuda de Naín, en cada una de estas historias cada viuda el hijo único de ellas murió. En la cultura de esos países en ese tiempo, el hijo era el sustento para la viuda y quien además continuaba la descendencia familiar que era igual a la inmortalidad. La viuda cuyo único hijo hubiera muerto perdía toda esperanza. Elías y Jesús son los restauradores de esperanza; ellos devuelven la vida a sus hijos. Quizá no podemos revivir de la muerte, pero quizá podemos reanimar la esperanza de un padre o una madre soltera. -Copyright J.S.Paluch Co. Lecturas Bíblicas Undécimo Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario 12 de Junio de 2016 Primera Lectura: 2 Samuel 12:7-10m 13 El Señor perdona tu pecado: no morirás. Salmo Responsorial: Salmo 31:1-2, 5, 7, 11 Perdona, Señor, mi culpa y mi pecado. Segunda Lectura: Gálatas 2:16, No soy yo el que vive, sino que es Cristo el que vive en mí. Evangelio: Lucas 7: Sus numerosos pecados le quedan perdonados, por el mucho amor que demostró. TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE El día 9 de junio del año 1597, falleció el jesuita José de Anchieta proveniente de las Islas Canarias, España. Este santo apóstol de Brasil fue beatificado en 1980 gracias a sus grandes esfuerzos humanitarios, literarios y evangelizadores en Brasil. Llegó a Brasil en 1553 donde aprendió Tupí, el idioma de los nativos. Enseñaba a los indígenas, evangelizándolos con la doctrina cristiana y educándolos en historia, filosofía y medicina. Eventualmente fundó el Colegio Jesuita de São Paulo de Piratininga donde tuvo la audacia de educar, junto a los hijos de los nativos, los hijos de los portugueses. Para este esfuerzo escribió muchos libros y manuales, cosa que le mereció ser el primer escritor en Brasil. Además de ser un escritor prolífico, este misionero dedicó su vida a predicar el Evangelio en Brasil, país que cruzó a pie, fundando pueblos y escuelas para los indígenas cristianos. Estos le llamaban el santo volador por la velocidad con que caminaba. Su celo por el Evangelio lo motivaba a seguir caminando. Como dice el profeta Isaías: Que hermosos son los pies del que trae buena nuevas (Isaías 52:7). Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright J. S. Paluch Co.
