THIRTEENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME JUNE 30, 2013

Dear people of St. Mary’s:

I hope and pray that you are well. As you read this, I’ll be making my way back from guiding a pilgrimage to the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Mexico City. Thank you to all who took part in our Vacation Bible School this past week.

We welcome to our parish Fr. Tony Stanonik – a priest from our Diocese who is currently a missionary in Nicaragua. You will hear a little about his ministry this week. Gracias Padre Tony!! Bienvenido y vaya con Dios!

YES! Remember how I had hoped that someone was recording Pope Francis’ daily Mass homilies at St. Martha’s chapel. They’re now online at the Vatican website: www.vatican.va – Entering the site simply click “Daily Meditations of the Holy Father” – booyah! You will find that they are titled and have the date on which they were delivered. Let’s keep Pope Francis in prayer and the upcoming World Youth Day 2013 which will take place in Rio De Janeiro, Brasil. May it be a Pentecost of New Evangelization for our youth and the whole Church.

Fortnight for Freedom We are in the heart of the Fortnight for Freedom: a time of prayer, fasting, education, and political activism. If you have not done so, download the reflections at www.usccb.org/issues-and-action/religious-liberty/fortnight-for-freedom/upload/Fortnight-Reflections-pref-statement.pdf and pray the prayer for religious freedom.

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.”

The Fortnight concludes on July 4th – we will have a bilingual Mass on July 4th at 8AM to conclude the Fortnight. I do however also want to invite you to the bilingual Mass for the Feast of Our Lady of Refuge on Friday July 5th at 8:30AM. Since it is the First Friday, there will be Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament and First Friday Confessions.

God bless you in Jesus and Mary,

Fr. Ed

THIRTEENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME JUNE 30, 2013

Queridos feligreses de Sta. María:

Espero en Dios que todos estén bien. Mientras leen esto, yo estaré ya regresando de guiar una peregrinación a la Basílica de Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe en Ciudad México. Gracias a todos los que formaron parte de nuestra Escuela Bíblica de Vacaciones esta semana.

Le damos la bienvenida a Padre Tony Stanonik a nuestra parroquia – un sacerdote de nuestro Diócesis que actualmente es misionero en Nicaragua. Escucharán un poco más sobre su ministerio esta semana. ¡Gracias Padre Tony!! ¡Bienvenido y vaya con Dios!

¡SI! ¿Recuerdan cómo estaba yo de esperanzado de que alguien estuviese grabando las homilías de las Misas diarias del Papa Francisco en la capilla de Sta. Marta? Ya están en la página web del Vaticano: www.vatican.va - Cuando entren a la página simplemente hagan clic a “Meditaciones Diarias del Santo Padre” – ¡Qué bueno! Encontrarán que están tituladas y tienen la fecha de cuando fueron enviadas. Vamos a mantener en oración al Papa Francisco y a la próxima Jornada Mundial de la Juventud 2013 que se llevará a cabo en Rio de Janeiro, Brasil próximamente. Que sea un Pentecostés de la Nueva Evangelización para nuestros jóvenes y de toda la Iglesia.

Quincena por la Libertad Estamos en el corazón de la Quincena por la Libertad: un tiempo de oración, ayuno, educación y activismo político. Si aún no lo has hecho, descarga las reflexiones por aquí: www.usccb.org/issues-and-action/religious-liberty/fortnight-for-freedom/upload/Fortnight-Reflections-pref-statement.pdf y haz esta oración por la libertad religiosa.

Oración por la Libertad Religiosa

OH SEÑOR, CREADOR NUESTRO. De tu mano bondadosa hemos recibidoel derecho a la vida, a la libertad y a la

búsqueda de la felicidad.Tú nos has hecho tu pueblo y nos has dado el derecho y el deber de venerarte a ti, único Dios

verdadero, y a tu Hijo, Jesucristo. Por el poder y la obra del Espíritu Santo, nos llamas a vivir nuestra fe en el mundollevando 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 corazón para estar siempre dispuestos a

defender nuestras libertades cuando son amenazadas. Danos valentía para que se escuchen nuestras vocesen defensa de

los derechos 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 historia de nuestra nación, y reunidos en tu Iglesia, des a todos tus hijos e hijas 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 después de nosotros— este gran país sea siempre “una nación, bajo Dios, indivisible, con libertad y justicia para todos”. Te lo pedimos por Jesucristo, Nuestro Señor. Amén.

La Quincena concluye el 4 de julio – tendremos una Misa bilingüe ese día a las 8:00 AM para concluir la Quincena. Quiero también invitarlos a la Misa Bilingüe por la Fiesta de Nuestra Señora del Refugio el viernes, 5 de julio a las 8:30 AM. Ya que es el primer viernes, tendremos también la Adoración del Santísimo Sacramento y Confesiones.

Dios los bendiga en Jesús y María,

P. Eduardo
