July 5, 2015 Fourteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time

Jesus is met with misgivings and rejection by his own relations. Like them, we often resist the prophetic word because of an obstinacy of heart,

rooted in a self-pride which must give way to weakness and powerlessness.

Forming our Faith

Any adult interested in receiving instruction in preparation for Confirmation or initiation

into the Catholic Church. please call Maryellen

at the Rectory.

July 5, 2015 Fourteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time

The Pope is coming! The Pope is coming! Not a day goes by that we don’t hear some-thing about the upcoming World Meeting of Families and the arrival of Pope Francis to the City of Brother-ly Love. It is exciting for the City and the Catholic Church. But with all of the planning, we cannot overlook the focus of the event. Families are gather-ing from around the world to celebrate who they are and to deepen their relationship with Jesus Christ, the Son of God and Prince of Peace and bask in God’s Divine Mercy. In today’s Responsorial Psalm, we hear “Our eyes are fixed on the Lord, pleading for his mercy. “ It is this mercy that allows us to make mistakes and seek solace in our Lord. It is this mercy that we seek when we sin. When we focus on the love and com-passion of God—Father, Son and Holy Spirit, it is easy to seek God’s mercy. In the Gospel Acclamation, we hear “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, for he sent me to bring glad tidings to the poor.” It is the Holy Spirit, the third person in the Holy Trinity, that gives us the power to be authentic disciples of Jesus Christ. It is the Holy Spirit that allows us to take the teachings of Jesus Christ and put them into practice by

reaching out to those in need; to undo the knots of our own lives and the lives of oth-ers. We only have to look at the Mother of God for assistance in living a Christian life.

El Papa viene! El Papa viene! No pasa un día en que no se oye algo sobre el próximo Encuentro Mundial de las familias y la llegada del Papa San Francisco, a la Ciudad del Amor fraternal. Es emocionante para la ciudad y la Iglesia Católica. Pero con todo de la planificación, no podemos pasar por alto el objetivo del evento. Las familias se han dado cita en todo el mundo para celebrar lo que son y a profundizar su relación con Jesucristo, el Hijo de Dios y el Príncipe de la paz y disfrutar de la Divina Misericordia de Dios. En Salmo responsorial de hoy escuchamos, "nuestros ojos están fijos en el Señor, implorando por su misericordia. " Esta es la misericordia que nos permite cometer errores y buscar consuelo en nuestro Señor. Es-ta es la misericordia que nos buscan cuando pecamos. Cuando nos centramos en el amor y la compasión de Di-os-Padre, Hijo y Espíritu Santo, que es muy fácil de buscar la misericordia de Dios. En la aclamación al Evangelio escuchamos, "El Espíritu del Señor está sobre mí, porque él me ha envia-do para dar la buena noticia a los pobres." es el Espíritu Santo, la tercera persona de la Santísima Trinidad, que nos da el poder de ser auténticos discípulos de Jesucristo. Es el Espíritu Santo que nos permite tomar las ense-ñanzas de Jesucristo y que los ponen en práctica al llegar a aquellos que los necesitan; para deshacer los nudos de nuestras propias vidas y las vidas de los demás. No tenemos más que echar un vistazo a la Madre de Dios ayuda a vivir una vida cristiana.

Baptism/Bautismos Call the Rectory to make arrangements. Parents and sponsors must attend an instruction class. Llame la rectoría para hacer arreglos. Padres y padrinos deben asistir clases de instrucción.

Marriage/Matrimonio Arrangements must be made six months in advance in order to fulfill Diocesan requirements. Debe hacer arreglos seis meses de antemano para cumplir los requisitos diocesanos.

Care for the Sick/Cuido para los enfermos In the occasion of an emergency call the rectory im-mediately. Call the rectory for visits at home to the elderly and infirm or when someone enters the hospi-tal and wishes a visit from the parish priest. En caso de una emergencia llame la rectoría inme-diatamente. Para visitas en casa de las personas ma-yores y enfermas o cuando alguien este en el hospital y desee una visita del sacerdote llame la rectoría.

July 5, 2015 Fourteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time Mary, Undoer of Knots, has drawn global adoration and devo-tion, especially in the time of Pope Francis’s election. The Mother of God miraculously conceived Jesus after being visited by the angel Ga-briel who told her she would have a child. As the Mother of God, Mary is loved and honored more than any other Saint, known as the ulti-mate mother and leader of family. Mary Undoer of Knots is revered for her love and devotion to her son Jesus. She is known for her ability to “undo” the knots, the challenges, in our lives. Her love and compassion for us as the children of God shows us just how much she is the mother of the Holy Family and our Mother. The Novena to Mary, Undoer of Knots was inspired by this Icon in which the Blessed Virgin Mary is shown undoing knots. The icon and the de-votion can be sourced to the writing of Saint Iranae-us of Lyons, “The knot of Eve’s disobedience was loosened by the obedience of Mary.”

The family which experiences the joy of faith communicates it naturally. That family is the salt of the earth and the light of the world;

it is the leaven of society. Pope Francis, October 27, 2013

La familia que experimenta la alegría de la fe se comunica de forma natural.

Esa familia es la sal de la tierra y la luz del mundo; es la levadura

de la sociedad. Papa Francisco, 27 de octubre 2013

Oración Querida Santa Madre, María Santísima, deshacer los nudos que sofocan a sus hijos, extienda sus manos mis-ericordiosas para mí. Me encomiendo a Ti hoy este nudo y todas las consecuencias negativas que provoca en mi vida. Te doy este nudo que me atormenta y me hace infeliz y por lo que me impide unirme a usted y su hijo Jesús, mi Salvador. Corro a Ti, María, Desatadora de Nudos porque confío en usted y sé que Nunca desprecias un niño pecador que viene a pedirte ayuda. Creo que se puede deshacer este nudo porque Jesús le concede todo. Creo que ust-ed desea deshacer este nudo, porque tú eres mi madre. Yo creo que usted va a hacer esto porque me amas con amor eterno. Gracias, Madre querida. María, Desatadora de nudos, ruega por mí. Amén. Prayer Dearest Holy Mother, Most Holy Mary, You undo the knots that suffocate your children, extend Your merciful hands to me. I entrust to You today this knot and all the negative consequences that it provokes in my life. I give You this knot that torments me and makes me unhappy and so impedes me from uniting myself to You and Your Son Jesus, my Savior. I run to You, Mary, Undoer of Knots because I trust You and I know that You never despise a sinning child who comes to ask you for help. I believe that You can undo this knot because Jesus grants You everything. I believe that You want to undo this knot because you are my Mother. I believe that You will do this because you love me with eternal love. Thank you, Dear Mother. Mary, Undoer of Knots, pray for me. Amen.

María, Desatadora de Nudos, ha llamado la adoración mundial y devoción, sobre todo en el momento de la elección del Papa Francisco. La Madre de Dios mil-agrosamente concibió a Jesús después de haber sido visitada por el ángel Gabriel, quien le dijo que iba a tener un hijo. A me-dida que la Madre de Dios, María es amado y honrado más que cualquier otro santo, conocida como la madre definitiva y líder de la familia. María Desatadora de nudos es venerado por su amor y devoción a su hijo Jesús. Ella es conocida por su capacidad de "deshacer" los nudos, los desafíos, en nuestras vidas. Su amor y

compasión por nosotros como hijos de Dios nos mues-tra lo mucho que ella es la madre de la Sagrada Familia y Madre nuestra. La Novena a María, Desatadora de nudos se inspiró en este icono en el que la Virgen María se muestra nudos deshacer. El icono y la devoción pueden proceder a la redacción de san Ireneo de Lyon, "El nudo de la desobediencia de Eva fue soltado por la obediencia de María."

A SUMMER BLESSING May you walk with God this summer In whatever you do wherever you go

Walking with God means... Walking with honesty & with courage,

Walking with love & respect And concern for the feelings of others

May you talk to God this summer And every day and in every situation
