June 13, 2021 - Eleventh Sunday in Ordinary Time“It is good to give thanks to the LORD, to sing praise to your name, Most High.” Ps 92:2

Building Together the “LEGACY” of Holy Family - The Journey of our FaithBuilding Together the “LEGACY” of Holy Family - The Journey of our Faith

“This is how it is with the kingdom of God.” Mark 4:26

“El reino de Dios es como un hombre que echa semilla en la tierra…” Marcos 4:26

GOD WILL DO THE GROWINGEven in Israel it would be a bit odd to find a cedar tree on a lofty mountaintop: the climate just wouldn't permit it. So, the

reference in today’s first reading is intentional — when God takes the youngest part of the cedar tree and puts it somewhere that one does not find cedars, it is doubly clear that something new is happening. God is breaking rules in our favor. It is an interesting paradox. God made the world perfect, with no cedars on mountaintops, but God is willing to let even these rules bend if it means that the people of God will come to their senses. The reference to fruit and the birds of every kind coming to nest there serves the same purpose. Cedars don't bear fruit and no tree would bear the presence of birds of every kind, even if limited to the kinds known to the people of Israel. So, what is going on? God is promising to Israel a new life, impossible as it may seem. God is going the extra mile to make little insignificant conquered-in-a-day Israel the envy of nations everywhere, with a richness of resources and security from all its neighbors. All the other nations, the other trees that are big and powerful, all of these will be laid low. What God does for Israel, God also does for us. If we are open to hear the word, God will plant us and give us all the resources we need to meet the challenges of any new day. And as for those of us who feel blessed, this should not make us nervous, as if our days of joy are numbered. Blessings from God should make us generous and thankful.

Today’s responsorial psalm is designated as a Sabbath Psalm in the Bible and remains to this day part of the Jewish Sabbath tradition. In one sense it is a bit odd to have a prayer about praying, but the first verses of the Psalm are exactly about that, which is probably why they have been included in worship for all these centuries. It is also classified as a psalm of thanksgiving, because worship is itself a gift from God, something for which we should give thanks. The reason this psalm is chosen for today, though, has little to do with this gift of praise. Rather what we are dealing with here is the reference, once again, to trees. People are compared to trees, to trees that flourish because they have been planted by God. Notice, too, the insistence that those planted by the LORD will bear fruit even into old age. One cannot help but see this as a reference to God's love of the aged and the barren. As those who seek God's wisdom in these words, there is something there to hope for. God is truly not finished with us yet - there are new challenges and new life to be found at every stage of our existence. Another reason to give thanks. There are two parables in today's Gospel, so let's take them each in turn. The first deals with growth. Farmers, gardeners, anyone who keeps plants know this parable to be true. Seeding and growing plants is something that requires our attention, but the actual growing is beyond our power. Growing up on the farm we planted an extensive garden, and on planting day my sister had a tradition. Once the last seed was covered, she would stare at the garden very seriously and say in a loud voice, "GROW!" We all laughed, because even though we worked to ensure that our plants bore the most beautiful flowers or the best produce, or even just the greenest green on our lawn, the actual growing is beyond our control. It happens without our permission.

The second parable of the mustard seed comes at growth from another direction. Here, Jesus is reminding us that the end is not predicted by the start. If it is not an inborn trait, it certainly is a common flaw that people are quick to judge. We want to peek ahead, read the last chapter and see how the story ends. But the parable of the mustard seed shows us that this is not possible. Everyone can grow in surprising ways, everyone can change.

Taken together, these parables should both give us hope and take away our excuses. It is God who makes all things grow, sometimes in new and surprising ways, so our current problems should never be an excuse for embracing the future and all of its possibilities. People say that tomorrow is another day—but so is today! Each day we can make things better, we can accept God's call and grow. Even if what we think is God's way forward seems blocked, we can trust that God has a hundred ways. Today it is only for us to seek and to find—to discern. God will do the growing.

FATHER'S DAY IS NEXT SUNDAY

Fatherhood has its origins in God, who chose to reveal Himself to us as Our Father, sending his only Son for the sake of our salvation. Fathers therefore have a special role “in revealing and in reliving on earth the very fatherhood of God” (Familiaris consortio 25). Father’s Day is an appropriate time to recall the essential role of fathers in the life of the family and in building a culture of life. It is also an opportunity to highlight spiritual fatherhood, which all men are called to embrace.

PRAYER TO SAINT JOSEPHTo you, O blessed Joseph,

do we come in our tribulation,and having implored the help of your most holy Spouse,

we confidently invoke your patronage also.Through that charity which bound you

to the Immaculate Virgin Mother of Godand through the paternal love

with which you embraced the Child Jesus,we humbly beg you graciously to regard the inheritance

which Jesus Christ has purchased by his Blood,and with your power and strength

to aid us in our necessities.

O most watchful guardian of the Holy Family,defend the chosen children of Jesus Christ;

O most loving father, ward off from usevery contagion of error and corrupting influence;

O our most mighty protector, be kind to usand from heaven assist us in our struggle

with the power of darkness.As once you rescued the Child Jesus from deadly peril,

so now protect God's Holy Churchfrom the snares of the enemy and from all adversity;

shield, too, each one of us by your constant protection,so that, supported by your example and your aid,we may be able to live piously, to die in holiness,

and to obtain eternal happiness in heaven.Amen.

Breaking Open the Word – 11th Sunday in Ordinary TimeReadings: Ezekiel 17:22-24 • Psalm 92:2-3, 13-16 • 2 Corinthians 5:6-10 • Mark 4:26-34

SYNOPSIS:

The magnificent cedars of Lebanon, rare now due to extensive deforestation, can be compared to our own coast Redwoods or Giant Sequoias of the Sierra Nevada mountains. These majestic trees, towering above everything else, are an apt symbol of grandeur and might. The prophet Isaiah used the cedar as symbol of the pride of the nations. The cedar also had spiritual significance as its wood adorned the interior of the Temple and its bark was used as part of the cleansing ceremony for those afflicted with leprosy (Lev. 14:1-14). In this week’s first reading Ezekiel uses the cedar to represent the re-establishment of Israel, which had been decimated by the Babylonians. The “tender shoot” taken from its topmost branches is reminiscent of Isaiah 11:1 which alludes to the restoration of the Davidic monarchy. “Birds of every kind” that will dwell in its branches represents the nations of the world. Thus the restoration of Israel would not simply be a return to the status quo before the Exile, but the establishment of the Messianic kingdom. The Psalm echoes the first reading only here it is an individual – the “just one” – who shall “flourish like a palm tree and grow like a cedar of Lebanon.” The “just one” is an allusion to Christ. The second reading doesn’t seem to have any direct connection with the first reading or with the Gospel, except for the fact that “all must appear before the great judgment seat of Christ.” While the first reading refers to God’s kingdom, the second reading refers to the King, who rules over heaven and earth. For what is a king without a kingdom? And what is a kingdom with a king? Despite his sufferings and danger of death, Paul is hopeful about his ultimate destiny. He uses the word “courageous” twice indicating the confidence he has in the Lord’s goodness. For Paul the main thing is to be faithful, always aspiring to please the Lord. This week’s Gospel is the parable of the mustard seed which illustrates how, though the smallest of seeds, it grows to become the largest of plants where the birds of all kinds can dwell in its branches. When Jesus first told this parable his audience would’ve immediately recognized the allusion to Ezekiel. What Jesus was saying, in effect, was that the Messianic kingdom foretold by the prophets is now at hand. Which is, of course, exactly what he said at the beginning of the Gospel: “Behold, the kingdom of God is at hand, repent and believe in the Gospel” (Mark 1:15).

Key verse: “The seed is the word of God, Christ is the sower. All who come to him will live forever.” (Gospel acclamation)

CATECHISM OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH:

“As Lord, Christ is also head of the Church, which is his Body Taken up to heaven and glorified after he had thus fully accomplished his mission, Christ dwells on earth in his Church. The redemption is the source of the authority that Christ, by virtue of the Holy Spirit, exercises over the Church. “The kingdom of Christ [is] already present in mystery,” “on earth, the seed and the beginning of the kingdom.” [669]

POPE FRANCIS:

“The Kingdom of God is humble, like a seed. But it becomes big by the power of the Holy Spirit. We have to let it grow within us, without boasting. May the Spirit come, change our soul and lead us forth in silence, in peace, in quiet, in closeness to God, to others, in adoration of God without pageantry.” [Daily Meditation, Nov. 13, 2014]

LIFE APPLICATION:

The mustard seed that becomes a large plant with many branches which can accommodate a multitude of creatures is an apt image of the Church whose mission it is to gather all the peoples of the earth. Like the parable of the net, which gathers all kinds of fish, or the parable of the wheat and tares in which the good and bad seed grow together, the Church is composed of all kinds of people, good and bad, saints and sinners. God will sort everything out in the end. In the meantime, we should, like Paul, do everything we can to please the Lord in thought, word and deed so that we will be numbered among those who the Lord chooses to be with him forever. There are only two possible outcomes for each and every individual: heaven or hell, and each person (not just Catholics!) will “receive recompense, according to what he did in the body, whether good or evil.” So always strive to please the Lord in everything you do.

Domingo 13 de junio, 2021REFLEXIÓN SOBRE EL MENSAJE DE HOY

La Iglesia, en cuanto comunidad de creyentes, tiene la misión de ser «sacramento» del Reino de Dios aquí, en la tierra: ha sido convocada para ser, con sus palabras y sus acciones, «signo eficaz» de este Reino que, como la pequeña simiente echada en tierra, puede crecer sin límites.

En efecto, esta experiencia, en cuanto experiencia de comunión y de justicia, no es algo individual, sino que liga a las personas entre sí y, uniéndolas en torno a la persona de Cristo, constituye su Iglesia: así, la realidad histórica de la Iglesia se convierte en manifestación de la reconciliación querida y otorgada por Dios en Jesús, el gran acontecimiento de reconciliación que marca la historia de los hombres a partir de Jesús y hasta su consumación final. Por eso la Iglesia no se identifica nunca con el Reino de Dios, ni puede considerarse nunca, de una manera triunfalista, como el Reino de Dios realizado en el mundo, sino que es siempre y únicamente un signo, un camino a través de la historia humana, que gradualmente se vuelve, en Jesús, por Jesús y con Jesús, «historia de salvación».

Esta experiencia interesa a toda la humanidad: «por nosotros los hombres y por nuestra salvación...», profesamos en el credo. Toda persona, en el presente de su existencia, se siente interpelada por esta exigencia, se siente llamada a entrar en el Reino de Dios, en el sentido de que mediante una continua «conversión» (originariamente, «seguir a Jesús» significaba unirse a él, vivir con él) se ofrece realmente esta posibilidad: en todo momento en que el hombre intenta dar un sentido a su propia vida, comprometiendo de manera concreta su libertad en la historia, le es posible comprometerse por un camino que no es manifestación del mal, sino manifestación del Reino de Dios. En esta dimensión «sacramental» de la vida cristiana se resuelve la tensión entre el ya y el todavía-no de la esperanza: este continuo tender es el signo y la actitud que distingue al cristiano.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ PREGUNTA DE LA SEMANA

Pregunta para los niños: ¿Han tenido que caminar alguna vez en la oscuridad sin luz? ¿Cómo comparan eso con caminar guiándose por la fe y no por lo que ven? ¿Qué tuvieron que hacer para seguir caminando en la oscuridad?

Pregunta para los jóvenes: ¿Ustedes rezan y piden por la fe? ¿Cómo trabajan para desarrollar su fe?

Pregunta para los adultos: ¿Cuándo les es más difícil mantener la fe? ¿Tienen que “ver” la respuesta a sus oraciones o pueden aceptar el deseo de Dios pacíficamente? LECTURAS DE LA PRÓXIMA

EN EL CAMINO HACIA LA RECUPERACIÓN A medida que comenzamos a salir de las restricciones impuestas por la pandemia y esperamos volver a una cierta sensación de normalidad en nuestras vidas, recordemos ser respetuosos con nuestros compañeros feligreses mientras nos reunimos para la celebración de la Liturgia Eucarística.

El virus sigue con nosotros y puede permanecer con nosotros en el futuro previsible. Somos conscientes de que muchos de nuestros hermanos y hermanas aún no han sido vacunados y siguen siendo vulnerables. Por respeto a la salud y seguridad de todos, la Sagrada Familia continuará siguiendo la guía de los obispos Soto y requerirá que todos los que asistan a la Misa usen una cubre boca durante toda la celebración de la Misa.

Como siempre, estamos agradecidos por su paciencia y comprensión. Hemos recorrido un largo camino este último año, ya que juntos hemos soportado pacientemente las pruebas y tribulaciones de esta pandemia. Deseamos expresar nuestra sincera gratitud por sus oraciones y su apoyo financiero, no habríamos superado esta dura experiencia sin ellos. Que nuestro Señor de misericordia y compasión bendiga tu bondad y generosidad.

RESUMEN DE LA CARTA DEL OBISPO JAIME SOTO A TODOS LOS FELIGRESES DE LA DIÓCESIS

A partir del viernes 18 de junio de 2021, los párrocos podrán acomodar a los fieles para la celebración del Sacrificio de la Misa, así como otros servicios sacramentales y de adoración al 100% de la capacidad de asientos en las iglesias parroquiales. Oficialmente estoy terminando la dispensa general de la obligación de asistir a la misa dominical. A partir del domingo 20 de junio de 2021, todos los fieles católicos de la Diócesis de Sacramento están obligados a asistir personalmente y participar activamente en la celebración dominical del Sacrificio de la Misa (Canon 1247). Se aconseja a los párrocos y a los fieles, que si las personas están enfermas, tienen una condición de salud vulnerable, están cuidando a alguien con una condición de salud vulnerable o tienen otras razones graves; no estén obligadas a asistir a la Eucaristía el domingo u otras solemnidades obligatorias (Canon 1245; Catecismo de la Iglesia Católica, 2181).

A todos los fieles se les recuerda la obligación perenne de mantener santo el Día del Señor observando el domingo con oración, reflexión espiritual, obras de misericordia, compañerismo y descanso.

Los párrocos y los feligreses deben continuar observando las precauciones sensatas de salud pública: Lávese las manos frecuente y use desinfectante de manos. Absténgase de estrechar las manos y otras formas de contacto físico con otras personas fuera del hogar. Continúe limpiando las bancas al menos dos veces los domingos y otros días cuando haya varios servicios. Se recomiendan seguir usando las máscaras o tapabocas faciales. Sacerdotes, diáconos y ministros extraordinarios deben seguir usando máscaras faciales para la distribución de la comunión.

Durante la distribución de la comunión, los sacerdotes, diáconos y ministros extraordinarios deben tener desinfectante disponible para su uso cuando sea necesario.

Para la comunión, la distribución de la copa sigue suspendida. El intercambio del signo de paz durante la Misa puede reanudarse. Los fieles no deben tocarse. Se alienta un saludo moviendo la

mano o un saludo moviendo la cabeza. El canto puede reanudarse. Los músicos y coros deben observar las precauciones sensatas de salud pública.

Las procesiones litúrgicas pueden reanudarse

Se recomienda que las cestas de la colecta sean manejadas solo por los ujieres en lugar de pasar de persona a persona. El agua bendita se puede poner a disposición de los fieles en las fuentes tradicionales en la entrada de la iglesia. Se sugiere continuar con la transmisión en vivo de las celebraciones dominicales del Sacrificio de la Misa, para el beneficio de

aquellos que no pueden asistir en persona Se anima a todos los fieles a recibir la vacuna contra el COVID-19 cuando esté disponible. Consulte con su médico con respecto a cualquier problema de salud personal.

Otras reuniones ministeriales, catequéticas y sociales pueden reanudarse, siempre y cuando se sigan las precauciones necesarias.

BOTELLAS DE CUARESMA DE SAN VICENTE DE PAÚL Muchas gracias a todos los que han devuelto sus botellas de Cuaresma. El dinero que recolectamos ayudará a los necesitados en nuestra parroquia. Y a aquellos que aún no han entregado sus botellas, también pueden entregarlas en la oficina parroquial. También le pedimos orar por aquellos a quien se les ayudara con el dinero recaudado. Que Dios los siga bendiciendo, a usted y a su familia en estos tiempos en los que las necesidades serán enormes debido a la pandemia.

ACTUALIZACIÓN DE ARIZONA CYPRESS Raul's Tree Care comenzó a retirar el ciprés de Arizona el martes por la mañana. La mayoría del árbol fue astillado y fue puesto en el patio de atrás de la escuela. Las astillas de madera se utilizarán alrededor de la propiedad de la parroquia. Raúl y su equipo fueron impresionantes y nos ofrecieron el mejor precio. Si necesita cualquier tipo de servicio de árbol, lo recomendamos. (Ver fotos)

Sólo un pequeño recordatorio de que podríamos comenzar a trabajar en el Jardín de Guadalupe y la renovación de la parte delantera de la iglesia, así como la valla de seguridad en las próximas semanas. Nuestro arquitecto está desarrollando actualmente planos de permisos para la ciudad. Una vez que recibamos los permisos, podremos empezar a trabajar.

Todo este trabajo es posible gracias a sus generosas donaciones en apoyo de su fondo legado para la reparación y renovación de su iglesia.
