LUKE: 10: 40-42

40 Martha, burdened with much service, came to him And said, “Lord, do you not care that my sister has le me by myself to do the servings? Tell her to help me.”

41 The Lord said to her in reply, “Martha,

Martha, You are anxious and worried about many things.

42 There is need of only one thing. Mary has chosen the be er part and it will not

be taken from her.”

Pastor’s Note It seems terribly unfair, doesn’t it? Even a child can see that it is not right to sit making pleasant conversation with a guest while your sister works all alone in the kitch-en. How can we make sense of the story? We can never make sense of it if we read it as a lesson in the duties of hospitality. It immediately follows Jesus’ parable of the Good Samaritan, which we heard last Sunday. In that story, Jesus contrasts the behavior of two members of the Jewish clergy, a priest and a Levite, with the behavior of a despised outsider, the Samaritan. Though he lacked the knowledge of God’s law available to the priest and the Levite, the Samaritan fulfilled the law’s spirit better than the legal experts. The parable shows the futility of a religion which has no application to daily life. Today’s story of Mary and Martha turns that les-son around. It shows the futility of active service which, because it is not based on attentive listening to God’s word and nourished by such listening, becomes mere bus-yness. When Jesus says to Martha, “You are anxious and worried about many things”, he is not criticizing her for performing the duties of hospitality, but for doing so without first attending to his word. Martha, we might say, is the kind of person who likes to go about doing good, especially the kind of good that requires a lot of going about. The story in today’s Gospel does not ask us to choose between being a Mary or a Martha. The true disciple of Jesus must be both. Mark’s Gospel tells us that when Jesus called his Twelve Apostles, he called them for a dual pur-pose: to be with him, and to be sent out to proclaim the message. Which is more important: to be with Jesus, or to proclaim his message to others? Our relationship with the Lord must come first. Being with the Lord and listening to his word must be the basis of all we do for him. When we act without listening we are assuming that we already know what must be done, and need no guidance. Act-ing without first attending to God’s word can mean doing what we want to do, not what God, or the situation, requires of us. The remedy is to sit at the Lord’s feet, like Mary of Bethany in today’s Gospel, and listen to his word. How can we do this? We can spend time praying and reflecting upon sacred Scripture. We can set aside

Sacramental Information

a part of our daily prayer time for listening to the Lord, who speaks in the silence of our hearts. And we can listen attentively to the word of God preached and proclaimed here at Mass. When we do these things, we are like Mary of Bethany choosing the better part, as Jesus calls it in today’s Gospel, which will not be taken from us. In short, opening our hearts and minds to Jesus and his words leads us to choose the better part, and helps us in the fruitful work of sharing the Gospel message with others and helping to build up God’s kingdom on earth. It is also one of the primary ways to grow in our faith and love for Jesus, and come to experience the blessings of peace, joy and fulfillment that God wishes to give us. As we say it, nothing comes easy. Growing in our faith is also not easy but

with a little effort the rewards are tremendous! Let us not forget to grow in our faith during these months of vacation. Fr. Tad

July 17th, 2016 Saint of the Day

St. Francis Solano (1549-1610)

Francis came from a leading family in Andalusia, Spain. Per-haps it was his popularity as a student that enabled Francis in his teens to stop two duelists. He entered the Friars Minor in 1570, and a er ordina on enthusias -cally sacrificed himself for others. His care for the sick during an epidemic drew so much admira-

on that he became embarrassed and asked to be sent to the African missions. Instead he was sent to South America in 1589. While working in what is now Argen na, Bolivia and Par-aguay, Francis quickly learned the local languages and was well received by the indigenous peoples. His visits to the sick o en included playing a song on his violin. Around 1601 he was called to Lima, Peru, where he tried to recall the Spanish colonists to their bap smal integrity. Francis also worked to defend the indigenous peoples from oppression. He died in Lima and was canonized in 1726. Francis of Solano knew from experience that the lives of Chris ans some mes greatly hinder the spread of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Francis lived an exemplary life himself, and urged his fellow Spaniards to make their lives worthy of their Bap sm. Quote: "When Francis Solano was about to die, one of the friars asked him, 'Father, when God takes you to heaven remember me when you enter the everlas ng kingdom.' With joy Francis answered, 'It is true, I am going to heaven but this is so be-cause of the merits of the passion and death of Christ; I am the greatest of sinners. When I reach our homeland, I will be your good friend'" (contemporary biography of St. Francis Solano).

Sunday Children’s Programs

“Finding God” Continuous Faith Formation Program

Religious Education here at St.Clare is more than just a

Sacramental preparation program. .

Serenity Prayer, Reinhold Niebuhr (1892-1971)

God grant me the serenity

to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can; and wisdom to know the difference.

Living one day at a time; enjoying one moment at a time;

accepting hardships as the pathway to peace; taking, as He did, this sinful world

as it is, not as I would have it; trusting that He will make all things right

if I surrender to His Will; that I may be reasonably happy in this life

and supremely happy with Him forever in the next.

Amen.

The Office of Faith Formation at Saint Clare Parish provides religious instruction for children who attend pub-lic schools. Through our Finding God program, we seek to increase children’s awareness of the presence of God in their everyday lives. The program intertwines experiences in prayer, scripture, Catholic Social Teaching, and liturgy for children and adults as individuals, as families, and as learners on a faith journey. Our goal is to provide a comprehensive under-standing of the Catholic faith. We share the message of Christ, build community through our time together, wor-ship with fellow parishioners, and serve our neighbors who are less fortunate. Our program partners with parents in strengthening Catholic identity through regular religious instruction and participation in the life of our Catholic community of faith. The Catechetical Office will be closed during the months of June and July, returning to regular office hours on Tuesday August 2nd. During that time inquiries can be directed to the Parish office at 408-248-7786

Father, Son, and Holy Spirit

May the love of our Father Be in all our hearts today;

May the love of the Lord Jesus Keep our hearts and minds always;

May His loving Holy Spirit Guide and bless us all.

SAINTS AND SPECIAL OBSERVANCES Sunday: 16th Sunday in Ordinary Time Monday: St. Camillus de Lellis Wednesday: St. Apollinaris Thursday: St. Lawrence of Brindisi Friday: St. Mary Magdalene Saturday: St. Bridget of Sweden; Blessed Virgin Mary TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION The French Revolution is hardly a “treasure” in our story, yet in 1789 it began to dismantle the way the world was organized: feudalism. The collapsed society had three basic divisions: those who work, those who fight, and those who pray. There wasn’t a great deal of movement among the ranks, yet one way to move out of the workers and the fighters was in the direction of the folks who prayed. These were the First Estate, the cler-gy. One of the key persons in any manor or village was the priest. He could read, at least a bit, and so was the source for pronouncements and news from government and Church. He was assigned to celebrate the sacra-ments frequently and in conformance with certain rules. Seminaries did not exist before the Reformation. Astute Protestant reformers then forced the Catholic world toward a more educated and able clergy. Before that, young men apprenticed with a priest to learn the essentials, and would be presented to the bishop for ordination. Other priests emerged from the university system, where students were required to be invested as clerics. Still others were monks, ordained not so much for ministry outside the monastic walls, but to offer Mass only for the intentions of the community’s benefactors. —Rev. James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

THE KNIGHTS CORNER "Snapple says, 'Baby bunnies are called kittens.' Baby Knights aren’t called anything because there are no baby Knights, but if you are a Catholic man eighteen years or older you can become

a Knight and then you can be called Sir."

WATCH YOUR POSTURE Our posture is often a tip-off to our hospitality and rever-ence for the Lord. Note the actions of Abraham as he greeted the Lord in the presence of three men who appeared near his tent. He ran from the entrance of the tent to greet them. He bowed to the ground as he met them. He and Sarah, his wife, hastened to prepare a meal and bring food and water to their guests. In the Gospel story, Jesus’ friend Mary sat at his feet in order to listen to him speak. How do we welcome and reverence the Lord? What do our actions show? Do we remember the Lord’s presence in the Blessed Sacrament? How do we welcome the Lord in the scripture readings? How do we acknowledge his presence in our brothers and sisters, both at Mass and afterwards? Whether we kneel, stand, or sit in the Lord’s presence, may our hearts and minds always be attuned to him.

Tradiciones de Nuestra Fe América es un continente nacido del mestizaje que tomó a los europeos, los indígenas y los africanos para engendrar algo nuevo. Normalmente pensamos en el mestizaje de sangre que produjo nuevas razas latinoamericanas. Pero también existe el mestizaje cultural que produce nuevos elementos latinoameri-canos. Uno de estos es el sarape, hijo de la tilma pre-colombina y el manto español. Este mestizaje en tela tiene sus principios en el siglo XVIII con una proliferación de talleres en Zacatecas, Saltillo y otros lugares. Esta cobija colorida, de algodón o lana, fue desarrollada para añadir color y belleza a los charros de siglos pasados. A través de la historia el sarape ha sido usado por vaqueros, jinetes, soldados y revolucionarios. Hoy día el sarape, jorongo, frazada, gabán o cobija se ha convertido en símbolo de tradi-ción mexicana y se encuentra decorando hogares, restauran-tes e iglesias. México no es el único país que ha desarrollado un mestizaje en tela, también Guatemala, Colombia, El Salva-dor y otros más tienen sus telas y tapetes particulares que mezclan los colores y los diseños para celebrar el talento y la creatividad del mestizaje latinoamericano. — Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright © J.

Reflexão por: João Pereira Arruda

Neste Domingo a minha reflexão centra-se nas figuras principais que o Evangelho nos fala; Maria e Marta. Mais ainda, do comportamento das duase sobretudo da intervenção de Jesus. Á primeira vista {para quem lê o Evangelho sem o reflectir) dá a impressão de Jesus favorecer Maria pela escolha desta em O contemplar e estar com Ele e de ser severo com Marta que se atarefava para que tudo estivesse pronto para O receber, É necessário que se compreenda que a raspidez de Jesus por mais severa que nos pareça não implica que Jesus o tenha dito por Marta ser hospitaleira e O receber bem mas por Marta se deixar levar pelo trabalho ao ponto de se esquecer que Jesus era a razão principal. Por outro lado a extrema com que Jesus tratou Maria, não quer dizer que contemplar Jesus é o melhor, sem a açcão de amor. Muito menos Jesus quiz dizer a Maria que não trabalhasse ou ajuda-se Marta, simplesmente Jesus estava a favorecer Maria da sua decisão de estar aos seus pés a escutar-Lo e dar-Lhe a atenção que Ele quer de cada um de nós. Estar aos pés de Jesus é a decisão formal de querer-mos ser seus discípulos. A comtemplação em excesso sem a devida açcão como deixar-se absorver por inúmeras tarefas que nos afastam de uma vida de paz e alegria de Deus são prejudiciais e Jesus faz-nos saber isso mesmo no Evangelho de hoje. Podemos entender que deixarmos levar por devoções, jaculatórias, missas, etc. sem estas nos levar uma vida activa que dá sinal aos outros que temos Deus nas nossas vidas pelo modo que as vivemos em amar o que é bom. Por outro lado o mesmo Evangelho nos acautela de não nos deixarmos levar por inúmeras actividades ou tarefas que se centram no eu sem dar espaço para Jesus estar nas nossas vidas. Tal como as leituras do Domingo do Santíssimo Corpo e Sangue de Jesus me inspira para falar dos nossos Ministros Eucarísticos que servem a nossa comunidade; o Evangelho de hoje faz-me reflectir sobre Marta e os “USHERS” que muito bem servem a nossa comunidade. Aqui quero realçar as mulheres que se esmeram para que as suas casas estejam limpas e acolhedoras prontas para receber seja quem seja, assim também os nossos ushers se esmeram para que as nossas missas estejam bem preparadas para as nossas missas ou serviços litúrgicos serem celebradas em ambiente digno e apropriado. Tal como Marta os nossos ushers nem por isso são reconhecidos e a atitude dos ushers portugueses e louvável porque eles sabem que o importante é fazer do lugar da celebração suficientemente acolhedor para os membros da comunidade serem como Maria (discípulos) terem Jesus como o centro das suas vidas. Neste dia sejamos pois agradecidos; estendemos pois as nossas mãos e os abençoemos, pois também eles com a sua generosa dedicação ao seu ministério dão-nos a oportunidade de melhor estar-mos com o Senhor.

Estamos a menos de um mês do Piquenique anual da

nossa comunidade; façamos dele um evento que sirva para nos unir-mos cada vez mais como comunidade.

Um Santo e Alegre Domingo para todos
