3 Twelfth Sunday in Ordinary Time June 19, 2016 Page 3 At Our Parish RCIA SPONSORS NEEDED We are now blessed to have several adults who are in the RCIA process. An important part of this process is the personal touch of a sponsor from our congregation to move alongside of them during this time. Basically, a sponsor is a friend. One who is supportive and welcoming to the new candidate as they learn about the Catholic faith. A person who will be invitational and include them in their everyday lives and events. Do you recognize these gifts in yourself? If you do, we need you to share them! A sponsor is a vital part of the process and a link to the social and spiritual life of our church. The sponsor will attend the RCIA meetings after the 9am mass. They are not expected to be experts in Catholicism and know everything there is about the faith. We as a team certainly do not. What we hope to do is evangelize, which is an important part of this present period of Inquiry and Precatechumenate. We share our stories! We share about Jesus forgiveness and unconditional love. As we share, we learn more about our faith and our personal relationship with Jesus. It is a fun, interesting and vital ministry. We laugh, cry, celebrate and learn together in a social and spiritual environment. In the near future you will be hearing first hand from some of our past sponsors and their experiences. If you have any interest in learning about the ministry and hearing more about it, would you please contact me in the church office, ext Blessings, Donna Beam TICKETS ON SALE NOW Our annual fundraiser will be Tuesday, July 5th Dinner, 6:00 p.m. at Tivoli Too!

John Fisher and Thomas More Friday: The Nativity of St. John the Baptist Saturday: Blessed Virgin Mary Jubilee Year of Mercy Today, as he often does, Luke portrays Jesus praying in solitude (Luke 9:18). The Jubilee Year of Mercy invites us to rediscover the value of silence as the prayerful setting in which to reflect on the ways in which God s mercy transforms our lives, in order to make mercy the heart of our own lifestyle. But in a line that sounds odd, Jesus rebuked his disciples and directed them not to tell anyone (9:20 21) after they professed their faith in Jesus as the Christ of God (9:20). Jesus challenges us also to profess our faith not by what we say, but by what we do: take up our own cross daily (9:23) and bear one another s burdens (Galatians 6:2). Our gratitude for God s mercy toward us should make us instruments of God s mercy toward all. Then, as Zechariah prophesies in today s first reading, the fountain of God s mercy will open to purify the whole world from the sin and selfishness that cause suffering and sorrow to so many (Zechariah 13:1).

7 Twelfth Sunday in Ordinary Time June 19, 2016 Page Pastoral Services Appeal DIOCESE OF ORANGE PASTORAL SERVICES APPEAL (PSA) 2016 Dear Friends in the Lord, PROUD TO BE CATHOLIC KNOW LOVE SERVE With grateful hearts, we come together as a family of God to celebrate our 40th anniversary as a Diocese in The number forty is a sacred number as it relates to forty years for the Hebrews to travel to the Promised Land and Jesus forty days and nights in the desert. We reflect with joy on the forty years of the history of our Diocese and the generosity of all the people who have supported the life of the Church for all these many years. This year our call to action for the Proud to be Catholic Pastoral Services Appeal (PSA) is Know, Love and Serve. The Catechism of the Church teaches us that God made us to know, love and serve him in this world and to be happy with him in the next. The PSA supports the work of our Church by making us more outward focused; such as serving the poor through Catholic Charities, the scholarships we provide to so many of our students who desire to attend Catholic Schools, and by serving our incarcerated brothers and sisters through Detention Ministry. Your PSA gift also helps provide seminary education for an increasing number of candidates for our diocese, a gift of which we are truly grateful to the Lord. Having been with many of the seminarians for our Holy Father s visit, I am very impressed with their zeal for the Lord and His Gospel! In Advent, we began the Year of Mercy which was proclaimed by our Holy Father Pope Francis. As in all of the ministries of our Diocese we strive to make the gift of mercy known in all of the aspects of our faith life. Your generous response to the PSA enables us to make the gift of God s great mercy integral to our life as a Church. Thank you for your generosity which is part of this great portrait of God s love among us and a sign of your love of God which draws us all together. I invite you to join me as we continue thanking God for his generosity by giving back for all the gifts he has blessed us with and make your gift to the 2016 Pastoral Services Appeal. Together we are a family in Christ. Gratefully yours in Christ, Most Reverend Kevin W. Vann, J.C.D., D.D. Bishop of Orange ST.

FOLLOW IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF CHRIST The great fifty-day celebration of Easter has concluded, as have the feasts honoring the Holy Trinity and the Body and Blood of Christ. Last week we began a long stretch of Ordinary Time that will bring us to late November. Saint Paul tells us today that those who are baptized have clothed yourselves with Christ (Galatians 3:27). This scripture is echoed in the Church s baptism ritual when we sing, You have put on Christ, in him you have been baptized. This message is inspiring and sobering at the same time, for in today s Gospel, we get to the heart of what it means to be clothed in Christ. The Lord tells us, If anyone wishes to come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me (Luke 9:23). For the next twenty-two weeks we are called to take up the cross and, with Saint Luke as our guide, follow in the footsteps of Christ. Copyright J. S. Paluch Co. TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION It s almost midsummer day! One of the great hidden treasures of our liturgical calendar occurs this week. There are only three nativity feasts on our calendar: for the Lord, the Blessed Mother (September 8), and the Nativity of Saint John the Baptist on June 24. Friday s date is anchored by the Annunciation (March 25), when Mary learns not only of her own child s advent, but of Elizabeth s child. We are exactly half a year away from Christmas Eve. There are strong traditions around this feast. Just as the winter solstice provides a rich vocabulary for Christmas, so does the abundance of light at midsummer inform this celebration. Just as at Christmas, a religious festival spills over into culture. As summer light reaches its peak, the sun-drenched zones of northern Europe see people staying up all night, kindling St. John s Fires in the long summer twilight. Bonfires seem to be the unifying force in all these celebrations, kindled along the shores of the St. Lawrence in Quebec and Montreal, with harbor illuminations in France. You may be most interested in the custom in San Juan, Puerto Rico, the Baptist s own city. People there will leap into the sea between midnight and dawn to honor John. Why not find your way to a pool, a lake, or a sandy beach this week and plunge in to recall your baptism? It s a tradition! Rev. James Field, Copyright J. S. Paluch Co.

9 Decimosegundo Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario 19 de junio de 2016 Page 9 Lecturas y Noticias SEGUIR LOS PASOS A CRISTO La gran celebración de cincuenta días de la Pascua ha concluido, al igual que las fiestas en honor a la Santísima Trinidad y al Cuerpo y la Sangre de Cristo. La semana pasada comenzamos el largo tramo del Tiempo Ordinario que nos llevará hasta el final de noviembre. San Pablo nos dice hoy que los que han sido bautizados se han revestido de Cristo (Gálatas 3:27). Este mensaje es inspirador y al mismo tiempo nos alecciona, ya que en el Evangelio de hoy, vamos al centro de lo que significa estar revestidos de Cristo. El Señor nos dice, si alguno quiere acompañarme, que no se busque a sí mismo, que tome su cruz de cada día y me siga (Lucas 9:23). Durante las veinte y dos semanas que siguen somos llamados a tomar la cruz y, con san Lucas como guía, seguir en los pasos a Cristo. Año Jubilar de la Misericordia 19 de junio de 2016 Duodécimo Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario Hoy, como frecuentemente lo hace, Lucas presenta a Jesús alejándose para orar solo (Lucas 9:18). El Año Jubilar de la Misericordia nos invita redescubrir el valor del silencio como una manera de rezar para reflexionar de qué manera la misericordia de Dios transforma nuestras vidas, para hacer misericordia el corazón de nuestro propio estilo de vida. Pero en un momento Jesús dice algo que suena extraño, cuando ordena a sus discípulos no decirle a nadie (ver 9:20 21) después de que profesan su fe en Jesús como El Mesías de Dios (9:20). Jesús también nos desafía a profesar nuestra fe no por lo que decimos, sino por lo que hacemos: tomar nuestra cruz de cada día (9:23) y llevar las cargas los unos de los otros. Nuestro agradecimiento por la misericordia de Dios hacia nosotros debe hacernos instrumentos de la misericordia de Dios hacia con todos. Luego, como la profecía del profeta Zacarías en la primera lectura, la fuente de la misericordia de Dios brotará para purificar a todo el mundo de los pecados y el egoísmo que causa sufrimiento y dolor a muchos (Zacarías 13:1). Peter Scagnelli, Copyright J. S. Paluch Co., Inc. TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE Según san Mateo, una noche mientras los discípulos estaban en la barca de Pedro, Jesús vino hacía ellos caminando sobre el mar. Ellos se espantaron creyendo que era un fantasma de algún pescador pero él los calmó diciendo Ánimo!, que soy yo; no teman. Debió ser impactante ver al Señor caminar sobre las aguas, especialmente en una época donde las aguas venían consideradas como el caos. En varias partes de latinoamerica los fieles celebran a distintos santos con procesiones de barcos sobre ríos o mares. En el Puerto de Paita, Perú se llevan a los santos Pedro y Pablo en una procesión acuática. San Pedro, que fue pescador, está en casa sobre la barca, ya que normalmente son barcas de pescadores las que forman la procesión. Esta procesión reconoce el caos del mar reconociendo a los pescadores, que durante el año perdieron sus vidas en el mar, con guirnaldas lanzadas a la bahía. Pero, esta procesión no se espanta del mar ya que es una fiesta en honor de dos siervos de aquel que camina sobre las aguas, dominando el mar.
