A STEWARDSHIP PARISH My parish is composed of people just like me. I help make it what it is. It will be friendly, if I am. It will be holy, if I am. Its pews will be filled, if I help fill them. It will do great work, if I work. It will be prayerful, if I pray. It will make generous gifts to many causes, if I am a generous giver. It will bring others into its worship, if I invite and bring them. It will be a parish of loyalty and love, of fearlessness and faith, of compassion, charity and mercy, if I, who will make it what it is, am filled with these same things. Therefore, with the help of God, I now dedicate myself to the task of being all the things that I want my parish to be. Amen.

True Freedom

Verdadera Libertad

Decimotercero Domingo De Tiempo Ordinario (1 Reyes 19:16b, 19-21; Gálatas 5:1, 13-18; Lucas 9:51-62) Cuando somos jóvenes todos tenemos suenas de hacer muchas cosas, quizás de viajar a países lejanos. A veces nos molesta lo que vemos como ataduras de familia, de restricciones económicas, de obligaciones familiares. No nos sentimos libres para hacer aquello que deseamos; pero, ¿qué es, en realidad, la libertad? Según alguna interpretación adolescente, la libertas es algo así como hacer lo que nos venga en gana. Luego se dicen cosas como: la libertad acaba donde empieza el derecho del otro; esto es ciertamente laudable, pero quizá no suficiente. Mas bien se podría decir: la verdadera libertad empieza donde empieza el amor por otro y el derecho del otro, y termina en el momento en que el capricho, el egoísmo, el todo vales, nos convierten en marionetas. Ese parece ser el yugo del que habla Pablo; esos son los yugos también, de los que habla Jesús cuando dice que dejemos a los muertos enterrar a los muertos. No parece el estilo de Jesús impedir a la gente que entierre a sus seres queridos; mas bien parece decir que a menudo las personas se atan a cosas que ni siquiera tienen vida ni ofrecen futuro. Mas que referirse a los padres, podríamos interpretar las palabras de Jesús como un dejar atrás todo lo que nos ata y nos impide entregar nuestra vida a lo que de verdad vale la pena, es decir, al servicio de Dios y de los demás. Pueden ser preocupaciones materiales, presiones de los amigos o compañeros o incluso de la familia, hábitos de pereza o de adicción a los que ya nos hemos acostumbrado. Cualquier cosa que sea, se no somos capaces de desatarnos y seguir a Jesús, no podemos decir verdaderamente que somos libres, aunque sintamos que de la noche a la mañana estamos haciendo lo que se nos pega la gana. Hay una gran diferencia entre hacer lo que en cada momento da la gana y ser libre. Quien hace todo lo que se le ocurre parece mas bien sujeto a los caprichos del momento, a la tendencia de la hora, a casi lo que dicen los demás que es la moda y hay que hacer; no hay nada mas lejano a una verdadera libertad. Quien sigue a Cristo entregando todo lo que es y tiene es verdaderamente libre, porque esta creando vida. Para la reflexión ~ ¿Qué cosas me parece que me atan y no me dejan llevar a cabo mis sueños? ¿Se corresponden mis sueños personales a lo que quiere Dios de mi? ¿Qué cosas parece que me impiden seguir a Cristo y cumplir su voluntad sirviéndole y sirviendo a otros? ¿Me considero verdaderamente libre? Nuestra Parroquia

Thirteenth Sunday In Ordinary Time (1 Kings 19:16b, 19-21; Galatians 5:1, 13-18; Luke 9:51-62) When we are young we dream of doing a lot of things, perhaps even travel to faraway countries. At times, we are bothered by what we perceive to be family binds, economic restrictions, and family obligations. We do not feel free to do whatever we want; yet is this really freedom? According to the opinion of teenagers, freedom is doing whatever you want. Then we hear things like: your freedom ends where the rights of others begin. This is certainly commendable but perhaps not enough. It is better to say: true freedom begins where the love for others and their right begins and ends at the moment when impulse, selfishness, and everything’s fair, turns us into puppets. This seems to be the yoke Paul speaks about; these are also the yokes that Jesus refers to when he says let the dead bury the dead. It does not seem to be Jesus’ style to prevent people from burying their loved ones. Sometimes people become tied to things that do not have life nor offer a future. In other words, more than referring to the parents, we could interpret the words of Jesus as leaving behind all that binds us and prevents us from devoting our life to what is truly worthwhile: the service to God and others. It may be the concern over material things, pressures from friends, companions or even family, laziness, or an addiction to things we have become accustomed to having. No matter what it may be, if we are incapable of letting go and following Jesus, we cannot say that we are truly free even if we are doing whatever we want 24 hours a day. There is a great difference between doing whatever we want and being free. Whoever does whatever he or she desires seems to be subjected to the whims of the moment, the trends of today and to what others decide are what and how things must be done. This could not be further from true freedom. The one who follows Christ giving up all he or she is and has, becomes truly free, since they are creating life. For Reflection ~ What are the things that seem to bind me and do not allow me to pursue my dreams? Do my personal dreams seem to correspond with what God wants from me? What things seem to prevent me from following Christ and fulfilling his will to serve him and others? Do I consider myself to be truly free? Nuestra Parroquia

IFMF 2016 Raffle Ticket Committee Meeting Tuesday, June 28, 2016 at 7pm in the Education Building Room 2 I would like to offer my sincere gratitude to the returning members of this Committee as well as those who will be ‘retiring’ this year. Our members enjoy the interaction with other parishioners as they try their luck in purchasing and selling IFMF Raffle tickets after all masses. Our members commit to about 15 minutes after each Saturday and Sunday mass to distribute raffle tickets beginning mid-July through mid-September. This is a rotating schedule dependent upon the number of members. Please consider joining our team! We welcome all parishioners interested in assisting with Raffle ticket sales. New & returning members will meet 6/28 at 7pm. If you are interested, please contact me at [email protected] or call 919-879-4688. Thank you! Dawn Jones
