GOD CHOSE US

Who chose first, God or you? That is the question explored in today’s three readings. The second reading, from Paul’s Letter to the Ephesians, reads almost like a hymn. It praises God for choosing us, for calling us to serve, and for blessing us in our service. Paul makes it clear how honored we are and how special is the call to live as children of God. This is through no doing of our own. The first reading and the Gospel use prose rather than poetry to describe the same truth: God did the choosing, not us. When the prophet Amos was berated for being a prophet, he retorted that the whole thing wasn’t his idea in the first place. Neither did the twelve apostles in today’s Gospel ask for their calling. Jesus sent them forth, two by two, to do the work of his kingdom.

Weekend of July 14/15, 2012

Fifteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time

The Letter to the Ephesians relates to us that God, the Father

has established a divine plan to bring all of creation to Christ

and that He has blessed us with the divine gifts to help

implement that plan. Christian stewards know what their

gifts are and are committed to using them in the service of

the Lord. Do we know what our gifts are? Do we believe

that God has given us these gifts? Are we committed to

using our gifts to serve the Lord?

Thank you for your generous support of the essential work of the Holy Father and his charitable acts through the Peter’s Pence Collection. Our contributions will be combined with those of our brothers and sisters around the world to help Pope Benedict reach out to those in need. Your generosity will help to cast Christ’s peace upon the world.

My Dear Friends in Christ:

Through the Fortnight for Freedom (June 21 – July 4, 2012), we joined millions of

our Roman Catholic Brothers and Sisters as well as those of other faith traditions to pray to SAFEGUARD

religious rights and freedoms in our nation.

On July 4th, we celebrated the 236th year of the birth of this great nation. It was founded on the principles of

human rights which include, fundamentally, religious freedom. This nation was to be a safe haven for all to

practice every aspect of their faith traditions.

May God Bless us all with dignity, respect, freedom and love to carry his message to others.

Bishop Richard J. Garcia

THE OFFICE AT ST. PATRICK SCHOOL IS CLOSED DURING THE MONTH OF JULY

EUCHARISTIC ADORATION ~ The Blessed Sacrament is taken

out of the tabernacle and the Lord, in His Eucharistic presence, is

placed on the altar in a glass vessel called a monstrance. We then have

the opportunity to sit with Jesus, and allow ourselves to be

completely open to Him. In the silence, we feel Him all around

us, and hear His voice. Our parish has Eucharistic Adoration

in the chapel every Friday from 12:30 - 5:30 pm.

Usted puede llamar a la oficina parroquial al 489-2680 para dar el nombre de la persona que necesite oración.

DIOS NOS ELIGIÓ

¿Quién eligió primero, Dios o tú? Esa es la

pregunta que exploramos en las tres lecturas de hoy. La

segunda lectura, la carta de Pablo a los Efesios, se lee casi

como un himno. Es una alabanza a Dios por habernos

escogido, habernos llamado a servir, y por bendecirnos en

nuestro servicio. Pablo deja en claro el gran honor que

hemos recibido y lo especial que es la llamada a vivir

como hijos de Dios. Esto no es por nuestros méritos.

La primera lectura y el Evangelio usan prosa en

vez de poesía para describir la misma verdad: Dios nos

escogió, no nosotros. Cuando el profeta Amós fue

criticado por ser un profeta, respondió que, en primer

lugar, el asunto no era su idea. Tampoco los doce apóstoles

en el Evangelio de hoy pidieron su llamado. Jesús los

envió de dos en dos, para hacer el trabajo de su Reino. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

Esta semana necesitamos lo siguiente en la

alacena:

Cereal, Papel Higienico

Crema de Cacahuate y Jalea

Gracias También agradecemos que nos donen frutas y

verduras de sus casas, pueden dejarlas en la oficina.

Fin de Semana de Julio 14/15 de 2012

Décimo Quinto Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario

La Carta a los Efesios nos relata que Dios Padre ha establecido un

plan divino para llevar todo lo que existe en la creación a Cristo, y

que él nos ha bendecido con los dones divines necesarios para

ayudarnos a implementar este plan. Los corresponsables cristianos

saben cuáles son sus dones y están comprometidos a usarlos en el

servicio del Señor. ¿Sabemos nosotros cuáles son nuestros dones?

¿Creemos nosotros que Dios nos ha dado estos dones? ¿Estamos

nosotros comprometidos a usar nuestros dones para servir al

Señor?

NECESITAMOS VOLUNTARIOS PARA LA ALACENA

El Ministerio hispano necesita voluntarios para trabajar en

la alacena los Martes, Miércoles, y Jueves de 3:15 a 5:00

pm. Si quiere ser voluntario o tiene preguntas sobre el

ministerio, favor de llamar al 489-2680,

ex. 31. Gracias!

del Santo Padre y a sus obras caritativas por medio de la

Colecta Peter’s Pence. Nuestras contribuciones serán

A Stewardship Prayer

For July

Words from Mother Teresa She lived her words: “Intense love does not measure, it just

gives.” “If you can't feed a hundred people, then feed just

one.” Mother Teresa founded the Missionaries of Charity, now

over 4,500 sisters active in 133 countries who adhere to vows of

poverty, chastity, obedience, and a fourth vow, to give "wholehearted

and free service to the poorest of the poor". The Missionaries of

Charity operate hospices; homes for people with HIV/AIDS, leprosy,

and tuberculosis; soup kitchens, orphanages and more. Information
