Fifteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time July 15, 2018
Truth shall spring out of the earth, and justice shall look down from heaven.
— Psalm 85:12
CALLED BY GOD Today’s scriptures invite us to listen to two calls. The first is the call issued by the LORD to the prophet Amos, the “shepherd and a dresser of sycamores” (Amos 7:14). The second is the call the Lord Jesus issued to the Twelve, whom he sent out “two by two” (Mark 6:7). These faithful people responded to the call, prophesying and preaching to the people to whom they had been sent. Each of us received a call when we were baptized. The second reading invites us to ponder that call as we are reminded that we are chosen in Christ and that, in love, God “destined us for adoption” (Ephesians 1:5). As adopted daughters and sons of God we are called to bring the presence of Christ into our marriages, families, schools, and places of work. Let us be inspired today to say yes to the call we hear once again through God’s living word. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.
TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION At the time of the Reformation, although England broke away from papal authority under Henry VIII, a silent majority clung to the Catholic faith. Henry’s eldest daughter, Mary, restored the “old religion” in a fierce persecution of Protestants (she is called “Bloody Mary” for good reason.) His youngest daughter, Elizabeth, rejected papal ties. Under her reign, beginning with legislation in 1593, Catholics were persecuted again, and only the very wealthy could afford the fines for not attending Anglican services on Sunday. They were called “recusants,” from a Latin word meaning “refuse,” since they refused to attend the liturgy of the Church of England. Many families maintained Catholic tradition in secret, and today their descendants claim “Recusancy” as a mark of family pride. For generations they sent their young people abroad to be educated in convents and monasteries. It is not surprising that the first monastery in colonial America springs from Holland with the daughters of patrician English recusant families. Port Tobacco, Maryland, proved fruitful soil for the Carmelite tradition. —Rev. James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

TODAY’S READINGS First Reading — Amos said, “The LORD took me from following the flock, and said to me, Go, prophe-sy to my people” (Amos 7:12-15). Psalm — Lord, let us see your kindness, and grant us your salvation (Psalm 85). Second Reading — The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ has blessed us in Christ with eve-ry spiritual blessing (Ephesians 1:3-14 [3-10]). Gospel — Jesus summoned the Twelve and began to send them out two by two (Mark 6:7-13).

4. GRATEFUL RESPONSE (30 Days on STEWARDSHIP)
by Leisa Anslinger
Have you ever received a gift that left you speechless? Perhaps this was because you knew what went into the gift, the care with which the giver selected it, that conveyed the giver’s love for you. Maybe it was a simple moments of presence, a visit with a loved one in which time stood still. How do you express gratitude for gifts that are ultimately priceless? This is the question that is at the heart of stewardship. When we reflect on the love behind the many gifts and blessings that fill our lives—love that is God—we may be struck speech-less. How can we possibly say “thank you” to God for all we are, have, and will be? We express gratitude for the many gifts and blessings in our lives by giving in return. Knowing that all we are and have is gift, we appreciate that it is given in order to be shared. When you share time and attention, talents and skills, money and resources, you are using those gifts in the way God desires. This is faithful stewardship.
A THANKFUL HEART

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE Mañana celebramos la fiesta de Nuestra Señora del Carmen, reconocida en Chile como Maipú. Chile es un país con mucha industria marinera y la Virgen del Carmen es la patrona de los marineros por el peligro al cual se exponen en el mar. Los frailes Carmelitas han difundido la devoción a la Virgen del monte Carmelo desde el siglo XIII. En aquella época María regaló el escapulario al general de los Carmelitas, Simón Stock, prometiendo que todos los que lo usasen serían recibidos por ella en el cielo, evitando así el infierno. Con el tiempo el escapulario Carmelitano se modificó para uso de todo cristiano. Por esto ella es patrona de todo oficio que tiene peligro de muerte como el de los soldados, camioneros, pilotos, troqueros, etc. Por entender el escapulario como algo mágico, Nuestra Señora del Carmen ha sido tomada como patrona de los pandilleros porque viven en peligro de ser matados en sus riñas callejeras. Piensan que llevar puesto el escapulario es lo necesario para evitar el infierno e ignoran que usar el escapulario es vivir como María, en paz y al servicio de los demás. —Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.
