Monica, whose feast we celebrate in August, is often known as the persistent mother. he watched her oldest son, Augustine, turn his back on his Christian faith. Monica was exasperated. For years she gave up talking directly to her son on the advice of a local bishop, who told her that it was better to talk to God about Augustine then to Augustine about God. he mother never gave up praying for her son. Eventually Augustine gave up his wild ways, was baptized, and later ordained and named bishop of Hippo. t. Augustine went on to become one of the Church s greatest scholars. oday s readings address the importance of persistent prayer. Abraham, in spite of trepidation that he is bothering the Lord, continues to ask about the fate of odom and Gomorrah. Jesus, in Luke s Gospel, tells his disciples to ask and you will receive; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you (Luke 11:9). his is our charge: keep praying. Copyright J.. Paluch Co. NFP AWARENE WEEK N atural Family Planning. Love, Mercy, Life. Opening the Heart of Marriage is the theme of this year s Natural Family Planning Awareness Week, a national educational campaign of the United tates Conference of Catholic Bishops (UCCB) to celebrate God s design for married love and the gift of life and to raise awareness of Natural Family Planning (NFP) methods. NFP, as the U.. bishops have written, is supportive of Catholic beliefs about married love because it respects the God-given power to love a new human life into being (see, U.. Bishops, Married Love and the Gift of Life). he slogan for this year s NFP Awareness Week was inspired by the Holy Father s call for a Jubilee Year of Mercy, a special time of grace in the Church wherein all, including married couples and families, are invited to open their hearts more fully to the unconditional love, mercy and life Christ and the Church offer us. he dates of Natural Family Planning Awareness Week (July 24th 30th, 2016) highlight the anniversary of the papal encyclical Humanae Vitae (July 25) which articulates Catholic beliefs about human sexuality, conjugal love and responsible parenthood. he dates also mark the feast of aints Joachim and Anne (July 26), the parents of the Blessed Mother. UCCB National Family Planning Awareness Week. For more information see index.cfm.

2 REAURE FROM OUR RADIION ometimes when bishops are consecrated, they are not given the care of a diocese as an ordinary. A very old tradition, however, assures that they are invested with a see, a link with a local church. Many hundreds of places around the world were dioceses at one time, but are no longer. In England, for example, some of the historic dioceses such as London, alisbury, and Manchester ceased to be Catholic at the Reformation and their cathedrals passed to the Church of England. he reestablishment of the Catholic Church in the nineteenth century meant that new dioceses had to be created, such as at Liverpool and Westminster. imilarly, in candinavia the ancient Catholic dioceses vanished under Lutheranism. In North Africa, tiny dioceses disappeared under the sands or were swept away by Islam. In the United tates, some original dioceses never really developed as population centers, such as the old dioceses of Bardstown, Vincennes, ault te. Marie, or Walla Walla. he tradition of titular sees assures that the ancient churches are always held in prayer, as the bishop celebrates Mass in its memory a few times a year. Rev. James Field, Copyright J.. Paluch Co. ODAY READING First Reading Abraham bargains with God to spare the city (Genesis 18:20-32).

5 IGLEIA CAÓLICA DE ANA CLARA Decimoséptimo Domingo del iempo Ordinario Julio 24, 2016 IGUE REZANDO anta Mónica, cuya fiesta celebramos en agosto, se conoce generalmente como la madre persistente. Ella vio como su hijo mayor, Agustín, le daba la espalda a su fe cristiana. Mónica estaba exasperada. Durante años se dio por vencida de hablar directamente a su hijo siguiendo el consejo de un obispo de la región que le dijo que era mejor hablar con Dios sobre Agustín que con Agustín sobre Dios. La madre nunca dejó de rezar por su hijo. Finalmente, Agustín abandonó su rebeldía, fue bautizado y luego ordenado y nombrado obispo de Hipona. an Agustín se convirtió en uno de los eruditos más importantes de la Iglesia. Las lecturas de hoy destacan la importancia de la oración persistente. Abraham, a pesar de temer molestar al eñor, continúa preguntándole sobre el destino de odoma y Gomorra. Jesús, en el Evangelio según san Lucas, le dice a sus discípulos pidan y se les dará, busquen y encontrarán, toquen y se les abrirá (Lucas 11:9). Esta es nuestra tarea: seguir rezando. Copyright J.. Paluch Co. RADICIONE DE NUERA FE P or siglos, Latinoamérica ha desarrollado una larga tradición religiosa con mitología espléndida. La palabra religión del verbo latín religere significa atar o enlazar. u función es unir seres humanos, los unos con los otros, con lazos de caridad y justicia. Una vez enlazados en comunidad, la religión los une al poder divino que rige el universo. Entre las culturas andinas se encuentran mitos religiosos que muestran la importancia de este enlazamiento. egún la mitología Inca el universo esta compuesto por tres mundos: el cielo (Janan pacha), la tierra (Cay pacha) y el bajo tierra (Ucu pacha). Estos tres mundos están unidos por dos grandes serpientes, Yacú-mama (ríos) y acha-mama (árboles), símbolos de la fecundidad. Muchos piensan que los mitos son leyendas cuya función es el entretenimiento. En realidad los mitos no son fábulas, son historias que explican la verdad profunda del universo. Nos muestran como unirnos y enlazarnos para vivir una vida fecunda. En esta época de secularización, los cristianos no podemos olvidar ni la religión ni la mitología si queremos dar fruto como Jesús nos lo pide. Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright J.. Paluch Co.

U n estudio sobre victimización en línea encontró que aproximadamente uno de cada cinco niños recibe solicitudes sexuales de un extraño a través de Internet. Dada la dependencia actual en contactos en línea, imagínese cuánto ha crecido esa cantidad de solicitudes en los últimos años. Los niños que usan Internet no pueden estar totalmente seguros ante algunos peligros, porque la Internet está abierta para todos, pero los padres de familia deben moni- 5
