3 June Page 3 FATHER ANTHONY S FAITH FORMATION CORNER Our second reading for this Sunday from the second letter of St. Paul to the Corinthians offers us a great oneliner: For we walk by faith, not by sight, (5:7). What Paul means to say is that we are like people in exile, away from our true homeland. The Lord is that homeland, to be believed in but not seen. I think this one-liner is a good summary of our Christian understanding of faith Here I have to mention the famous [Protestant] hymn Amazing Grace: I once was lost but now am found; was blind but now I see. Perhaps one presumes too much when one claims to see. Even for people of faith, much darkness remains. That is because faith is not clear knowledge. St. Paul writes in his first letter to the Corinthians: At present we see indistinctly, as in a mirror, but then face to face, (13:12). Even Paul himself did not claim that he was able to see clearly. It was very fitting that medieval thinkers situated faith between science (or knowledge) and opinion. Faith is superior to opinion, but inferior to science because in science, the object is known to the subject. The ultimate object/objective of all our believing is God, and God cannot be known to us completely in a manifest manner (as in science), but only in a veiled manner. Therefore, like Paul, we can only see dimly, as in a mirror. St. Thomas Aquinas, the greatest medieval theologian, taught that people of faith do not have full, but only partial, understanding of the truths about God. They are like the patient who, in a sense, knows what ails him and he accepts his doctor s diagnosis as true, but he lacks the doctor s proper understanding of medicine; and thus, his knowledge is only partial. According to Thomas, our understanding/knowledge of God is never complete, at least in this life, since we are still pilgrims on the way (in via) and not yet at the Father s home (et non in patria). Things will only become clear when we finally arrive at our true homeland (patria) when, to use the traditional Christian language, we shall be able to see God face to face In the last analysis, faith is kind of a dark journey into the unknown. Biblical figures such as Abraham and the Blessed Mother went on this journey of faith without any clear sight. And yet they trusted in the Lord s promise. And because of that trust, they were able get through the darkness All in all, as long as we are pilgrims on this journey, we are still walking by faith and not by sight.

Lord Jesus Christ, Redeemer of the world, you have shouldered the burden of our weakness and borne our sufferings in your own passion and death. Hear this prayer for our sick brothers and sister whom you have redeemed. Strengthen their hope of salvation and sustain them in body and soul, for you live and reign for ever and ever. Amen.

God, our shelter and our strength, you listen in love to the cry of your people: hear the prayers we offer for our departed brothers and sisters. Cleanse them of their sins and grant them the fullness of redemption. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.

5 June Page 5 COÄNG ÑOAØN THAÙNH GIUSE Chúc Mừng Ngày Hiền Phụ ến với các Cụ, Ông, Bác, Chú, Anh trong Cộng Đoàn. Xin Chúa luôn gìn giữ và ồng hành với các Ông mọi ngày trong cuộc sống. CHÚC MƯǸG! CHÚC MƯǸG! Chúa Nhật XI - Thường Niên - Năm B Hạt giống được gieo xuống đất từ từ phát triển mỗi ngày. Đất tự nó làm trổ sinh hoa trái. Cho dù con người không cần vun xới hay chăm sóc. Chúa Giêsu nói với dân chúng về Nước Thiên Chúa cũng giống như người kia gieo hạt giống xuống đất, dù người đó ngủ hay thức, đêm hay ngày, hạt giống cứ nẩy mầm và mọc lên. Chúa Giêsu dùng dụ ngôn để diễn tả về nước trời. Hạt giống lời Chúa cứ tiếp tục được gieo vãi trong lòng người từ thời này qua thời kia. Hạt giống âm thầm nẩy nở và phát triển. Chúng ta quan sát sự phát triển của Giáo Hội qua các thời đại. Từ một nhóm nhỏ các tông đồ mà Chúa Giêsu đã kêu gọi và trao ban sứ mệnh. Hạt giống đầu tiên đã gieo vào lòng các ngài và hạt giống được nhân lên qua các thế hệ. Đã có biết bao nhiêu người được lắng nghe lời Chúa qua sách vở, truyền thanh, truyền hình, điện thư, sự giảng dạy và đời sống chứng nhân. Đây là một sự cố gắng liên tục của Giáo Hội qua mọi thời đại. Lời Chúa được lắng nghe, suy niệm và sinh hoa trái trong đời sống. Hạt giống ngoài đồng nội cần có đủ môi trường sinh sống là hạt giống phát triển nhưng hạt giống lời Chúa cần được gieo vãi và chăm sóc. Lạy Chúa, lời Chúa là hạt giống sống động. Lời Chúa có nguồn sinh lực nội tại phát triển không ngừng. Xin Chúa cho lời Chúa thấm nhập tâm hồn của chúng con để sinh hoa quả. Trích từ Tinmung.net Lm Giuse Trần Việt Hùng Thánh Thomas More là một tấm gương sinh động cho đời sống tín hữu. Thánh nhân là một hạt giống bình an và hân hoan qua cuộc đời trần gian, trong gia đình cũng như nơi bạn hữu, nơi tòa án, diễn đàn, trên giảng đường đại học, trong triều đình, tại quốc hội, và trong chính phủ. Thánh Thomas More là quan thày âm thầm của nước Anh. Ngài đã đổ máu để bảo toàn sự hợp nhất của Giáo Hội và quyền bính thiêng liêng của vị đại diện Chúa Kitô. Và vì máu các tín hữu là hạt giống đức tin, nên máu của thánh Thomas More cũng từ từ ngấm vào các linh hồn tìm đến với ngài vì uy tín, vì đức tính hiền dịu và can đảm của ngài. Thánh Thomas More sẽ là vị tông đồ thầm lặng cho cả một dân tộc hoán cải về với đức tin. Chúng ta nài xin thánh John Fisher giám mục và thánh Thomas More tử đạo dạy cho chúng ta noi gương các ngài trong đời sống kiên trung yêu mến Chúa trong mọi sự, trong mọi hoàn cảnh cuộc đời. Lạy Chúa, trong cái chết của các vị tử đạo của Chúa, chúng con nhìn thấy những chứng từ cao quí nhất đối với đức tin chân thật: chúng con cầu xin Chúa cho chúng con được mạnh sức nhờ lời cầu bầu của thánh Thomas More và thánh John Fisher, để trong đời sống, chúng con biết làm chứng cho đức tin mà chúng con tuyên xưng ngoài môi miệng.

6 June Page 6 COMUNIDAD HISPANA LECTURAS DE HOY Primera lectura -- Elevaré los árboles pequeños (Ezequiel 17:22-24). Salmo -- Es bueno dar gracias al Señor (Salmo 92 [91]). Segunda lectura -- En el destierro o en la patria, nos esforzamos por agradar al Señor (2 Corintios 5:6-10). Evangelio -- El hombre siembra su campo, y sin que él sepa cómo, la semilla germina y crece (Marcos 4:26-34). UN EXCELENTE CUENTISTA En el Evangelio de hoy, se nos presenta a Jesús como un excelente cuentista. A él le gustaba contar parábolas como una forma para comparar esto de aquello. En muchas de las parábolas, Jesús revela quien es Dios al comparar la naturaleza o acciones de Dios con alguna situación conocida de su audiencia. En la parábola de la semilla de mostaza, Jesús proclama una verdad maravillosa e irrefutable. Su pequeño grupo de discípulos, tan insignificantes como ellos se hubieran sentido, un día producirán un reinado poderoso cuyo crecimiento lo comenzó Dios. Las semillas de este reino fueron plantadas por Dios y es Dios quien cosechará el fruto producido por esas semillas. No se puede predecir que tanto crecerá el Reino de Dios. Debemos confiar el trabajo de las manos del dueño, así como nosotros, al igual que la semilla de mostaza, crece y crece. LECTURAS DE LA SEMANA Lunes: 1 Re 21:1-16; Sal 5:2-3ab, 4b-7; Mt 5:38-42 Martes: 1 Re 21:17-29; Sal 51 (50):3-6ab, 11, 16; Mt 5:43-48 Miércoles: 2 Re 2:1, 6-14; Sal 31 (30):20, 21, 24; Mt 6:1-6, Jueves: Sir 48:1-14; Sal 97 (96):1-7; Mt 6:7-15 Viernes: 2 Re 11:1-4, 9-18, 20; Sal 132 (131):11-14, 17-18; Mt 6:19-23 Sábado: 2 Cr 24:17-25; Sal 89 (88):4-5, 29-34; Mt 6:24-34 Domingo: Vigilia: Jer 1:4-10; Sal 71 (70):1-6ab, 15ab, 17; 1 Pe 1:8-12; Lc 1:5-17 Día: Is 49:1-6; Sal 139 (138):1-3, 13-15; Hch 13:22-26; Lc 1:57-66, 80 TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE Muchas parejas se casan durante este mes. Las bodas son ritos religiosos y culturales que celebran el inicio de un matrimonio. En 1215 el matrimonio se convirtió en sacramento cristiano. Este sacramento tiene un rito simple por el cual la pareja se casa proclamando en público su mutuo consentimiento. En Latinoamérica varios ritos culturales han sido incorporados al rito cristiano para embellecerlo con simbolismo y folclor. Uno de estos ritos es el de las arras y es mencionado por Jesús en la parábola de la mujer que encuentra su moneda perdida. Según tradiciones judías y árabes la familia del novio entregaba una cantidad de dinero al padre de la novia. Algunas de estas monedas eran dadas a la novia como recuerdo del día de su boda. Esta costumbre llega a España durante la invasión de los Moros. Pero luego los españoles la trajeron a América. Arras significan "garantía" y son las primicias del sostenimiento económico que el novio dará a la nueva familia que se establece en el matrimonio de la pareja. Normalmente son 13 monedas representando a Jesús y a los doce apóstoles. --Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM
