3 A message from Fr. Tony CHRIST S PRESENCE IN THE WORLD There s a bit of a missing link in the first two sentences of today s Gospel from Mark. In the first, the apostles return from having been sent out on mission two by two ( one who is sent is the meaning of apostle ). Their instructions were to preach repentance, drive out demons, and heal the sick in Jesus name. In the second sentence, Jesus tells them to come away with him and rest a while. It would be nice for us to imagine that, between those two sentences, a look of amazed gratitude and pleasure crossed the face of Jesus as he hears of the kingdom proclaimed in his name, and how they didn t have to shake the dust off their feet anywhere. They deserved a rest! It might not be bad for us, when we gather together with Jesus as the apostles do today, to do this kind of debriefing, allowing the Lord to hear what we ve sought to do in his name, our successes, our failures, our need to get away with him for a while to be fortified for further work in God s name. For we, the baptized, are not only the flock of Jesus Christ; through water and the power of the Spirit we have also become the Body of Christ, the presence of the Shepherd for the life of the world. Un mensaje de parte de Padre Tony LA PRESENCIA DE CRISTO EN EL MUNDO Hay una cierta conexión que falta entre las dos primeras oraciones del Evangelio de hoy. En la primera los apóstoles regresan de la misión a la que habían sido enviados de dos en dos ( apóstol en griego significa enviado ). Habían sido enviados a predicar la conversión, a expulsar a los demonios, y a sanar a los enfermos en el nombre de Jesús. En la segunda oración, Jesús les dice que se vengan con él a un lugar solitario para descansar un poco. Nos gustaría pensar que, entre esas dos oraciones, una expresión de placer y gratitud cruzó el rostro de Jesús al oír como el Reino ha sido proclamado en su nombre, y como no tuvieron que sacudirse el polvo de los pies en ninguna parte. Bien se merecían un descanso! A nosotros tampoco nos vendría mal, cuando nos juntamos alrededor de Jesús como los apóstoles en el Evangelio de hoy, que nos tomáramos un descanso, para que el Señor pueda escuchar lo que hemos hecho en su nombre nuestros éxitos, nuestras decepciones, nuestra necesidad de escaparnos un rato con él para que nos fortalezca para seguir trabajando en el nombre de Dios. Ya que nosotros los bautizados no somos sólo el rebaño de Cristo; por el agua y el Espíritu hemos sido transformados en el Cuerpo mismo de Cristo, la presencia del pastor para dar vida al mundo.

Building Fund in Memory of: Martha Gourley By: Jay Pantusa TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION When Catholicism encounters a culture, it tends to approach the culture with a measure of respect for its key customs, especially those touching family life. Around the world, these longestablished customs are o en received into the liturgy, some mes with a new level of interpreta on. From Old Mexico, the custom of the lasso ( cord ) has migrated across borders, and is now firmly established in the marriage liturgy of Spanish speaking Catholics in the United States. It s a large cord, some mes resembling rosary beads, looped around the necks of the newlyweds in a figure eight shape. It is a great honor for a person, normally a godparent or close rela ve, to place the lasso around the shoulders of the couple, groom first. The lasso, a symbol of profound unity, remains in place throughout the liturgy un l removed, usually by the priest. The bride keeps the lasso as a memento of the day, a sign of her es of love to her husband in heart and home. The tender ministry of the godparent in this ceremony clearly links this sacrament of voca on with bap sm. It s not unusual to see the lasso made of fragrant orange blossoms, harking back to very ancient pre-chris an rituals seeking the blessings of fer lity and happiness. Rev. James Field, Copyright J.
