1 SAINT ANTHONY CATHOLIC CHURCH 971 O Hara Avenue, Oakley, CA Rectory Office/Oficina Parroquial (925) Fax: (925) Monday-Thursday (Lunes-Jueves) 9AM 5:30PM Friday (Viernes) 12PM 7:30PM July 1, 2018 Thirteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time O LORD, BE MY HELP Today we encounter readings that draw us into the mystery of suffering and death. In the past few years we have witnessed the devastation of life and property through earthquakes and hurricanes. So many lifted their lament to God, simply asking, Why? This is an honest expression of anger toward a God who we believe is the giver of life. When we lose a loved one, we can wonder why the presence of Christ is not enough to make that person rise, even from death, as did the little girl in today s Gospel passage. Again we raise our voices and ask, Why? At moments such as these, let us make the prayer of the psalmist our own: Hear, O Lord, and have pity on me; O Lord, be my helper. Let us pray that our mourning will one day be turned into dancing. TODAY S READINGS First Reading God did not make death, nor does God rejoice in the destruction of the living (Wisdom 1:13-15; 2:23-24). Psalm I will praise you, Lord, for you have rescued me (Psalm 30). Second Reading Your abundance should supply the needs of the others (2 Corinthians 8:7, 9, 13-15). Gospel Your faith has saved you (Mark 5:21-43 [21-24, 35b- 43]).

Welcome / Bienvenidos 1o de julio de 2018 AYÚDAME, SEÑOR Hoy escuchamos lecturas que nos acercan al misterio de sufrimiento y muerte. En los últimos años hemos sido testigos de la devastación de vidas y propiedades a manos de tsunamis y huracanes. Muchos elevaron su lamento a Dios y preguntaron: Por qué? Esta es una expresión sincera de ira hacia un Dios que creemos da la vida. Cuando perdemos a un ser querido, puede que nos preguntemos por qué la presencia de Cristo no es suficiente para hacer que esa persona resucite, incluso de entre los muertos, como la pequeña niña del pasaje del Evangelio de hoy. Entonces alzamos la voz y preguntamos: Por qué? En momentos como estos, debemos acudir a la oración del salmista: Escucha Señor y ten piedad de mí; Señor, socórreme. Recemos para que nuestro luto algún día se convierta en danza. LECTURAS DE HOY Primera lectura Por envidia del diablo entró la muerte en el mundo (Sabiduría 1:13-15; 2:23-24). Salmo Te ensalzaré, Señor, porque me has librado (Salmo 30 [29]). Segunda lectura Que la abundancia de ustedes remedie la necesidad de sus hermanos pobres (2 Corintios 8:7, 9, 13-15). Evangelio Oyeme, niña, levántate! (Marcos 5:21-43 [5:21-24, 35b-43]). PASTORAL STAFF Fr. Rafael Hinojosa, Parochial Administrator Fr.

Like the woman with the hemorrhage and Jairus, whose daughter had died, we often turn to God in times of crisis, relying on faith to see us through the darkness.

3 Thirteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time What does faith mean to you? The people whose stories we hear in today s Gospel had deep faith, and their faith led them to experience powerful encounters with the healing love of Christ. Like the woman with the hemorrhage and Jairus, whose daughter had died, we often turn to God in times of crisis, relying on faith to see us through the darkness. As Saint Paul encouraged the people in Corinth in today s second reading, we are also called to live differently as a result of our Christian faith. Like Jesus, we are to share the love, mercy, healing, and forgiveness of God with others. Faith is to believe Placing our faith and trust in God, whom we cannot see, is not always easy. We wonder why suffering exists and question the meaning of life and our purpose in the world. We wonder if God is really present during the most challenging of life circumstances; we sometimes experience spiritual dryness, in which God seems distant or absent. At times, we may feel strong in faith, until a situation at home or work requires us to act as a person of faith, and suddenly faith is no longer easy, convenient, or comfortable. These moments are so common that we speak of taking a leap of faith, when we act out of faith, even when the result of doing so is uncertain. Such a leap is often a turning point in our lives, as we find strength, healing and peace in turning our burdens and anxieties over to God in trust. Saint Augustine said, Faith is to believe what you do not see. The result of this faith is to see what you believe. The result of faith As we grow in faith, we come to believe that God is always with us, through the indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit and the sacramental life of the Church, especially the Eucharist. We are assured of God s presence in quiet moments of prayer and experiences of the kindness, care, and compassion of others. We see what we believe through all of these encounters with Christ s love. These experiences lead us to praise and thank God for our many blessings, and to reach out to others so that, through us, they may also encounter Christ s undying love. Through all of this, we grow in our willingness to share our many gifts with others, especially the faith that makes such a difference in our lives. You changed my mourning into dancing; O Lord, my God, forever will I give you thanks.

5 Decimotercer Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario FE ES CREER Poner nuestra fe y confianza en Dios, a quien no podemos ver, no siempre es fácil. Nos preguntamos por qué el sufrimiento existe y preguntamos cuál es el sentido de la vida y nuestro propósito en el mundo. Nos preguntamos si Dios está realmente presente durante las circunstancias más desafiantes de nuestra vida; algunas veces experimentamos un desierto espiritual, en el que Dios parece estar distante o ausente. Otras veces, nos podemos sentir fuertes en la fe, hasta que una situación en la casa o el trabajo requiere de nosotros actuar como una persona de fe, y de repente la fe ya no es algo fácil, conveniente o cómoda. Estos momentos son tan comunes que hablamos de hacer un salto de fe, cuando lo que hacemos lo hacemos por fe, aun cuando el resultado de hacerlo es incierto. Ese salto a menudo es un punto de inflexión a nuestras vidas, pues encontramos fortaleza, sanación y paz al poner nuestras cargas y ansiedades con confianza en Dios. San Agustín dijo la fe es creer aquello que no ves. El resultado de esta fe es ver aquello que crees. EL RESULTADO DE LA FE Al ir creciendo nuestra fe, llegamos a creer que Dios siempre está con nosotros, a través de la presencia interna del Espíritu Santo y la vida sacramental de la Iglesia, especialmente la Eucaristía. Estamos seguros de la presencia de Dios en momentos tranquilos de oración y experimentamos la bondad, el cuidado y la compasión por nuestros prójimos. Vemos lo que creemos por medio de todos esos encuentros con el amor de Cristo. Estas experiencias nos guían a alabar y a agradecer a Dios por nuestras bendiciones, y para llegar a otras personas para que, por medio de nosotros, ellas también puedan tener un encuentro con el amor eterno de Cristo. Por medio de todo esto, crecemos en nuestro disposición para compartir nuestros muchos dones con los demás, especialmente la fe que hace una diferencia en nuestras vidas. Convertiste mi duelo en alegría te alabaré por eso eternamente. Salmo 30 (29):13 Segunda Colecta 1 de julio Peter s Pence 8 de julio Impuestos A La Diocesis 15 de julio Mantenimiento modular 22 de julio Agua/Luz/Gas 29 de julio asistencia de San Antonio LOS INVITAMOS A que no deje de pasar al vestibulo a revisar los flyers que temenos con informacion importante para toda nuestra comunidad. Iluminando El Camino Campana Del Obispo 2018 San Antonio ha alcanzado el 63% de los obispos Objetivo de apelación de $21,100. Hacer una donación. Cómo participar. Se le pide a cada familia que asuma un compromiso o haga una donación a la Campaña del Obispo completando una tarjeta de compromiso. Este compromiso puede pagarse a lo largo de los proximos 10 meses. Sabemos que no todos pueden hacer donaciones del mismo tamaño, pero si podemos todos hacer un sacrificio del mismo tamaño. Si usted elige asumir un compromiso mensual o hacer una sola donación, le agradecemos profundamente su generosidad. TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE Esta semana conmemoramos al apóstol santo Tomás, el cual es normalmente recordado por haber dudado de la resurrección de Jesucristo. La incredulidad de este santo es explicada en el Evangelio según san Juan (20:19 31) con la famosa frase: Si no veo en sus manos la señal de los clavos y no meto mi dedo en el agujero de los clavos y no meto mi mano en su costado, no creeré. Los latinos somos de culturas religiosas que consideran la incredulidad como algo pecaminoso y camino al ateísmo. Hay que aceptar que la duda es algo normal en el ser humano. Dudo que exista alguien que nunca haya dudado de su fe. Sólo al aceptar esta duda estaremos abiertos a la invitación de Jesús: Acerca aquí tu dedo y mira mis manos; trae tu mano y métela en mi costado, y no seas incrédulo sino creyente. Santo Tomás aceptó esta invitación y llegó a su gran proclamación de fe: Señor mío, y Dios mío. La duda no es mala, para muchos es el camino a una fe más profunda y a un compromiso mayor.
