St. Anthony of Padua Church www.sapparish.org 12th Sunday in Ordinary Time ~ June 19, 2016

Twelfth Sunday in Ordinary Time Weekend of June 18/19, 2016

In today’s Gospel Jesus tells his disciples that if they wish to follow him

they must deny themselves and take up his cross daily. In Jesus’ time the cross

was not something nice or cool that one could hang

on the wall or around one’s neck. It was an instru-

ment of torture and execution. His point: We are to

lay down our lives and let him take control. Good

stewards hand over their lives to Jesus no matter the

cost. They realize that all they take with them into the

next life is their relationship with Christ Jesus. What

are we pursuing? A life that tries to bring fulfillment

to ourselves or a life that brings us closer to Jesus?

UPCOMING EVENTS

XII Domingo Ordinario ~ 19 de Junio de 2016

Décimo Segundo Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario

Fin de Semana del 18/19 de Junio de 2016

En el Evangelio de hoy, Jesús dice a sus discípulos que si ellos desean seguirle,

deben negarse a sí mismos y cargar diariamente su cruz. En tiempos de Jesús la

cruz no era algo agradable o bello que pudiera colgarse sobre una

pared o en el cuello de alguien. Era un instrumento de tortura y

ejecución. Su punto es que: nosotros debemos poner de lado nues-

tras vidas y dejarle a él tomar el control. Los buenos corre-

sponsables entregan sus vidas a Jesús sin importar el costo. Ellos

están conscientes de que todo lo que llevan con ellos a la próxima

vida es su relación con Cristo Jesús. ¿Qué es lo que nosotros

perseguimos? ¿Una vida que nos lleva a la satisfacción de no-

sotros mismos? O, ¿una vida que nos lleva más cerca de Jesús?
