From the Desk of Father Jonathan
God gives us one life, and one chance to live it.
The fact that you are in this church and reading this bulletin
means you know that the way we choose to live our life
matters. Personal experience teaches us that our life choices
have consequences and by faith we know the consequences
affect our eternity and the eternity of others.
This week I was visiting someone in the hospital from the
parish. He is a relatively young man. After praying together
he said to me, "You know, Father, I'm kind of glad this
happened to me" (referring to his sudden and serious health
scare). "It has woken me up to realize that my time is short",
he continued.
His comments helped me to reflect on my own apathy and
laziness. It's easy to get stuck in a rut. I usually do the things
I have to, but sometimes I don't do the things I should. Days
go by, then weeks, and months. Those are wasted hours we
never get back.
This week I am going to review my goals and priorities for
both the Summer and the Fall. What do I want to
accomplish? What does God want me to accomplish...not
only the practical things, but also in my relationships, and
above all in my friendship with God himself?
If all of us do this kind of regular personal review, there is no
doubt that we will do wonderful things for God, our families,
our neighborhood, and our parish. Time is our most precious
gift.
God bless,

REFLECTING ON GOD’S WORD
Sunday Gospel: Luke 10, 1-9
RIFLESSIONE SULLA PAROLA DI DIO
Vangelo della Domenica: Luca 10, 1-9
The life of Saint Katharine Drexel (1858–1955) is a
“riches to rags” story—the opposite of the American
dream. Katharine was the daughter of a wealthy banker.
Her father believed their great fortune meant that God
had great expectations for its use. Katharine was
influenced to devote her life and wealth to the poor. She
founded the Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament to serve
Native and African Americans with education, material
assistance, and the Gospel. With her twenty
million–dollar fortune she founded sixty schools and
established Xavier University for African-Americans.
Katharine and her sisters ministered tirelessly. Like the
seventy disciples in today’s Gospel, they were despised
by some for their work, called vicious names, and spat
upon. Katharine embraced poverty because of her love
for Jesus Christ, gratitude for his sacrifice on the cross,
and desire to be united with him forever. Blessed
Sacrament Sisters serve today, bringing the message of
today’s Gospel: “The kingdom of God is at hand for
you” (Luke 10:9)
Non ci si fa da sé discepoli di Gesù. Si ricevono da lui la
missione e la grazia necessaria per compierla. Si è mandati.
Vi è dunque un doppio compito: ascoltare Dio per ricevere da
lui la nostra missione particolare (e ciò attraverso il ministero
della Chiesa, nella maggior parte dei casi) e pregare, pregare
senza sosta, perché Dio mandi operai nella sua messe. Ma
non bisogna mai perdere di vista il fatto che la missione è
quella di Gesù; e che noi non siamo che i suoi inviati.
È necessario che ci rendiamo trasparenti perché si possa
riconoscere, attraverso di noi, ovunque ci troviamo,
la
persona
di
Gesù.
Di qui le molteplici raccomandazioni che sono altrettanti
mezzi di conformarsi al maestro, mezzi che ci faranno
acquistare una libertà sovrana rispetto alle cose materiali e
permetteranno alle realtà spirituali di rendersi visibili in noi.
E per vivere ciò, bisognerà domandare senza sosta la grazia di
essere discepoli: pregare sempre, pregare perché Dio abiti in
noi e possa trasparire da noi, affinché altri uomini,
incontrandoci, possano incontrarlo.

REFLEXIONEMOS LA PALABRA DE DIOS
Evangelio del Domingo: Lucas 10, 1-9
La vida de santa Catalina Drexel (1858–1955) es de
millonaria a mendiga—lo opuesto al llamado sueño
americano. Catalina fue la hija de un adinerado
banquero. Su padre estaba convencido de que su gran
fortuna era para usarla según la disposición de Dios. Esto
influyó en Catalina para dedicar su vida y su fortuna a
los pobres. Fundó la congregación de las Hermanas del
Santísimo Sacramento para servir a los amerindios de
Estados Unidos y a los afro-americanos con la
educación, la asistencia material y el evangelio. Con
veinte millones de su propio dinero fundó sesenta
escuelas y la Universidad Javeriana para los
afro-americanos. Catalina y sus hermanas se entregaron
incansablemente a su ministerio. Igual que los setenta y
dos discípulos del evangelio de hoy, algunos las
despreciaron por las obras que hacían, les decían
improperios y las escupían. Catalina abrazó la pobreza
por su gran amor y gratitud a Jesucristo por su sacrificio
en la cruz, y además por el deseo que tenía de estar unida
a él para siempre. Las Hermanas del Santísimo
Sacramento ofrecen sus servicios mientras llevan el
mensaje del evangelio de hoy: “Está llegando a ustedes
el reino de Dios” (Lucas 10:9)
