Twelfth Sunday in Ordinary Time

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ Jesus.

I received a letter from Cardinal DiNardo that our vicar, Father Richard,

will soon be moving to new parish: St. Helen in Pearland. His new Paro-

chial Vicar assignment begins on July 1, 2016.

I thank God for Fr. Richard. To: Father Richard. Thank you. God Speed!!

Let us pray for Father Richard. Pray for our new priest who will come to

STM (I hope to get a new one soon). Pray for me too. Please join us after

all masses in the Servant Hall for Donuts and coffee on Sunday June 26, 2016 to Thank and wish Fr. Richard all in new assign-

ment.

Changing is constantly a part of our lives. It is not always easy. It is not always nice; and then sometimes it is not great. Here I

am reminded by the image of a sojourner, who is constantly on the move. (Next Sunday Gospel, Luke 9:51-62 we will hear that

Jesus expects us to leave everything to follow him.) As Christians, we are called to leave behind what is familiar and entering

into a new way of life, a new perspective on the gospel.

This Sunday, I want to wish all fathers a very “HAPPY & BLESSED FATHER’S DAY”. Let the Church bless our fathers

with this prayer:

“God our Father, in your wisdom and love you made all things.

Bless these men, that they may be strengthened as Christian fathers. Let the example of their faith and love shine forth.

Grant that we, their sons and daughters, may honor them always with a spirit of profound respect.

Grant this through Christ our Lord. Amen. “

Prayer Source: Book of Blessings by Prepared by International Commission on English in the Liturgy A Joint Commission My

God bless all fathers

Queridos hermanos y hermanas en Cristo Jesús.

He recibido una carta del Cardenal DiNardo que nuestro Vicario, el Padre Richard, pronto se moverá a su nueva assignacion a la Parroquia de

Santa Elena en Pearland como el nuevo Vicario parroquial de esa Parroquia que comienza su nueva jornada el 1 de Julio de 2016. Doy gracias a

Dios por el Padre Richard. Para el Padre Richard, Gracias , Dios este contigo!! Tengamos al Padre Richard en nuestras oraciones. Oremos por

nuestro nuevo sacerdote que vendrá a STM (espero que tenga un Nuevo vicario pronto). Oren también por mí. Por favor, únase a nosotros

después de las misas en el Servant Hall para donuts y café el domingo 26 de junio para agradecerle y desearle lo mejor al P. Richard en su nueva

asignación

Cambiando constantemente es parte de nuestras vidas. No siempre es fácil. No siempre es agradable; y a veces no es tan estupendo. Esto me

recuerda la imagen de un peregrino, que está constantemente en movimiento. (El próximo domingo en el Evangelio, Lucas 9:51-62 escu-

charemos que Jesús espera que dejemos todo para seguirlo.) Como cristianos, estamos llamados a dejar atrás lo que es familiar y entrar en una

nueva forma de vida, una nueva perspectiva sobre el Evangelio.

Este domingo, quiero desear a todos los padres un muy "FELIZ Y BENDECIDO DIA DEL PADRE". Que la Iglesia bendiga a nuestros pa-

dres con esta oración:

"Dios nuestro Padre, en su sabiduría y amor que hizo todas las cosas.

Bendice a estos hombres, para que sean fortalecidos como padres cristianos. Que el ejemplo de su fe y amor brille.

Concede que nosotros, sus hijos e hijas, podemos honrarlos siempre con un espíritu de profundo respeto.

Por Jesucristo, nuestro Señor. Amén.

La oración fue tomada del Libro de Bendiciones Preparado por la Comisión Internacional en Inglés de la

Liturgia de Comisión Conjunta Mi Dios bendiga a todos los Padres

La Voz del Padre

Thank you St. Thomas More for all of your support for my Eagle Scout Project. My Eagle Scout project is to renovate the garden area at Loaves and Fishes by refurbishing the wooden picnic tables that the homeless use every day when lunch is served. Your generosity bought the materials neces-sary to complete the project. Your generosity also bought a freezer to help with food storage. Together, we raised thousands of needed dollars for Loaves and Fishes. Loaves and Fishes couldn’t believe how much we raised for them, and they were ecstatic and thanked God for the support from the many generous and compassionate people of St. Thomas More. Together, we have made a lasting, positive impact on the lives of countless homeless people, and have also helped the fantastic organization that has already helped so many, Loaves and Fishes. Thank you so much, my family of families, Joseph McConnell

Twelfth Sunday in Ordinary Time

From June 21 to July 4, the Catholic Church in the United States will again celebrate a "Fortnight for Freedom." It is an observance to remind us of our gift of freedom in Christ, of our civic freedom and religious liberty in the United States, and of the threat to religious freedom occurring with such alarming regularity in many parts of the world. Even in our own country there are disquieting signs of an erosion of the religious freedom that we cherish.

St. Thomas More—Prayer for Religious Liberty

O God our Creator, From your provident hand we have received our right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. You have called us as your people and given us the right and the duty to worship you, the only true God, and your Son, Jesus Christ. Through the power and working of your Holy Spirit, you call

us to live out our faith in the midst of the world, bringing the light and the saving truth of the Gospel to every corner of society.

We ask you to bless us in our vigilance for the gift of religious liberty. Give us the strength of mind and heart to readily defend our freedoms when they are threatened; give us courage in making our voices heard on behalf of the rights of your Church and the freedom of conscience of all

people of faith.

Grant, we pray, O heavenly Father, a clear and united voice to all your sons and daughters gathered in your Church in this decisive hour in the history of our nation, so that, with every trial withstood and every danger overcome-for the sake of our children, our grandchildren, and all who

come after us-this great land will always be “one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all”

We ask this through Christ our Lord Amen

St. Thomas More, Patron of Religious Freedom, Pray for us. Amen

Oh Senor, Creador Nuestro, De tu mano bondadosa hemos recibido el derecho a la vida, a la libertad y a la busqueda de la felicidad.

Tu nos has hecho tu pueblo y nos has dado el derecho y el deber de venerarte a ti, unico Dios verdadero, y a tu Hijo, Jesucristo. Por el poder y la obra del Espiritu Santo, nos llamas a vivir nuestra fe en el mundo llevando la luz y la

palabra salvadora del Evangelio a todos los confines de la sociedad.

Te pedimos nos bendigas mientras cuidamos del don de la libertad religiosa. Danos fortaleza de mente y corazon para estar siempre dispuestos a defender nuestras libertades cuando son amenazadas. Danos valentia para que se escuchen nuestras voces en defensa de los derachos de tu Iglesia, y de la libertad de

conciencia de todas las personas de fe.

Te pedimos, Oh Padre celestial, que en esta hora decisiva de la histsoria de nuestra nacion, y reuniendose tu Iglesia des a todos tus hijos e higas una voz clara y unida para que con cada prueba que encaremos, y cada peligro que superemos-por el bien de nuestros hijos, de nuestros nietos, y de todos

los que vengan despues do nosotros- este gran pais sea siempre “una nacion, bajo Dios, indivisible, con libertad y justicia para todos”.

Te lo pedimos por Jesucristo, Nuestro Senor Amen

Santo Tomas Moro, Patron de la Libertad Religiosa, ruega por nosotros. Amen.
