A Note From Fr. Tony Thank you to Fr. David Schatz who was available at the last moment and everyone else who helped carry the load when I was sick last weekend. I appreciate all of your help. Thank you also for all the birthday cards, well wishes, and gifts. I was not planning on spending my birthday this past Monday feeling sick but you made the day special. I appreciate the love and kindness that you have given me. As I was lying on the couch feeling miserable, I continued to think about renewing our parishes, families, communities, and including ourselves after reading the Gospel from last weekend (Matthew 13:1-23). The Gospel reading was about the parable of the sower. The first step of renewal and turning the soil of our soul from rocky to rich is through openness to God in prayer. Prayer is a personal communication between God and his people. This notion of communication between God and us seems obvious in which we talk and God listens and vice versa. But, this does not accurately sum up prayer. Prayer is more than a communication between us and God. Prayer is something deep, interior, personal, and special that leaves the heart hungry for something more. The more we dive deep into prayer, the more springs of living water will flow from us. Prayer nurtures and strengthens us and sets us on a strong foundation. Once we set our foundation firmly on prayer, the more we hear the voice of God and have a deeper desire to do his will. It is no longer about me but about thee. I pray that as we continue our renewal we will not just be in communication with God but grow into a deeper relationship with God which turns the soil of our soul from rocky to rich. It is the seed planted in rich soil that allows us to grow into a vibrant plant that touches the lives of others. It is through the richness of faith that will sustain us even through the most difficult times. That is the beauty and wonder of our God and we have no reason to fear. Also, please take advantage of Eucharist Exposition that each parish is setting up to pray for renewal. God bless you and have a great week! ~Fr. Tony

“Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened,
and I will give you rest” (Mt 11:28). Although our culture
does not always support it, scripture tells us that Sundays
are a day of rest. Take time to recreate and relax with
your beloved today.

Una nota del P. Tony
Gracias a Fr. David Schatz que estaba disponible en el último momento y todos los demás que ayudaron a llevar la
carga cuando yo estaba enfermo el pasado fin de semana. Agradezco toda tu ayuda. Gracias también por todas las
tarjetas de cumpleaños, deseos de bien, y regalos. Yo no estaba planeando pasar mi cumpleaños enfermo este pasado
lunes, pero ustedes hicieron el día especial. Aprecio el amor y la gentileza que me han brindado.
Mientras estaba acostado en el sofá sintiéndome miserable, seguí pensando en renovar nuestras parroquias, familias, y
comunidades--incluyendo a nosotros, después de leer el Evangelio del pasado fin de semana (Mateo 13: 1-23). La
lectura del Evangelio trataba de la parábola del sembrador. El primer paso de la renovación es convertir el suelo de
nuestra alma de tierra pedregosa a rico suelo, que ocurre como resultado de la apertura a Dios en la oración. La
oración es una comunicación personal entre Dios y su pueblo. Esta noción de comunicación entre Dios y nosotros
parece obvia en la que hablamos a Dios y Dios nos escucha y viceversa. Pero, esto no resume exactamente la oración.
La oración es más que una comunicación entre nosotros y Dios. La oración es algo profundo, interior, personal y
especial que deja al corazón hambriento por algo más. Cuanto más nos sumergimos profundamente en la oración, más
manantiales de agua viva chorrearán de nosotros. La oración nos consolida y fortalece y nos pone sobre una base
sólida. Una vez que establecemos nuestra fundación firmemente en la oración, más escuchamos la voz de Dios y
tenemos un deseo más profundo de hacer su voluntad. Ya no se trata de mí, sino de ti. Rezo para que mientras
continuemos nuestra renovación no sólo estaremos en comunicación con Dios, sino que crezcamos en una relación
más profunda con Dios, que convierta el suelo de nuestra alma de rocoso en rico. Es la semilla plantada en tierra rica
que nos permite crecer en una planta vibrante que toca la vida de otros. Es a través de la riqueza de la fe que nos
sustentará incluso durante los tiempos más difíciles. Esa es la belleza y maravilla de nuestro Dios y no tenemos razón
para temer. También, aprovechen la Exposición Eucarística que cada parroquia está organizando para orar por la
renovación. ¡Que Dios les bendiga y que tengan una gran semana! Fr. Tony
La Luz Hispana y Iowa State Extension les invita a una tarde descubridora a aprender con Barbara Ristau como
preparar refrigerios o meriendas para los niños y jóvenes después de las clases y durante las vacaciones. Muchos buscan
algo que comer entre las comidas de la familia. Estos refrigerios pueden ser beneficiosos en vez de aumentar el peso y
tienden hacia la diabetes. Vengan a La Luz Hispana el 26 de julio, a las 5:30 de la tarde.
AMRT Retreat: Theme: "Our Lady of Fatima-100 Years Later" In 1917, the Blessed Virgin Mary appeared six times to three young children in Fatima, Portugal. She gave them a number of messages and urged them to pray for the conversion of sinners. During this retreat we will review the story of Fatima and what Mary showed the children and what she told them. We will also see how the message of Fatima is still very timely and relevant for us 100 years later. Retreat Director: Fr. Jerry Kopacek Fr. Kopacek grew up on a farm near Britt in north-central Iowa and graduated from Britt High School in 1973. He graduated from Iowa State University in 1977 with a B.A. in political science and history, and then graduated from the University of Iowa Law School in 1980. He worked for four years in Des Moines, mostly as a law clerk for the Iowa Court of Appeals. While working in Des Moines he began thinking more and more about the priesthood and began theological studies at St. Mary’s Seminary in Baltimore MD in 1984 and was ordained as a Catholic priest for the Archdiocese of Dubuque in May of 1988. Fr. Kopacek has served as an associate pastor in Dyersville, Mason City, Marion and Springville. He also served as principal of Newman High School in Mason City. He has served as pastor in three Catholic parishes in Winnebago County, in Marshalltown, Waterloo, Dyersville, Worthington. He currently is the spiritual director for St. Pius X Seminary, for the young men at Loras College in Dubuque who are in college-level discernment and formation for priesthood. This retreat begins at 8:00 p.m. Friday and concludes after lunch on Sunday.
