Our Faithful Departed

May God’s grace be with the family of our recently deceased.

Joseph DiLallo Father of Annie Newell


In today’s Gospel from Matthew, our Lord shares the Parable of the Sower who scatters seed on many different kinds of land. This is a wonderful analogy for the stewardship way of life, demonstrating the slow and steady, yet powerful effect this lifestyle will have on those who fully embrace it.

In this parable, some of the seeds land on a path where birds carry them off before

they can begin to take root. Other seeds land on rocky ground with little soil. As soon as things begin to heat up, they get scorched and die. Then there are seeds that land on soil cluttered with thorns which choke the seeds just as they are beginning to grow strong.

Finally, there are seeds that land on deep and healthy soil. These seeds produce abundant fruit.

This is where the stewardship way of life comes in. When we give the best of our time, talent and treasure to serve God and others, we create lives filled with that rare “good soil” needed for the Kingdom of God to thrive.

How does this happen? Stewardship living removes the “rocks” of mistrust from our lives as we develop an unshakable faith that God will always provide for our needs. It clears away the “thorns” of worldly ambition that make us self-centered, fill us with needless anxiety and stifle our focus on God. Stewardship living requires a deep reliance on the Word of God and the sacraments which continuously nourish and fertilize the soil of our lives.

Let us deepen our commitment to this way of life, allowing the Sower to do His work in us, slowly and steadily. The Master Gardner will surely produce miraculous fruits through us. © Catholic Stewardship Consultants, 2020 Pastoral Pondering or Masks, Tyranny and Dark Chocolate At this point we are already at the second Sunday in July. Mid-summer (July 24 this year) is almost upon us. Still for me, it doesn’t really seem like summer. Except for the

warm temperatures, things are pretty much the same as they were a month ago. More people are wearing masks, because that is what the Governor said people should do and many folks are still afraid to wander too far from their homes.

With my background in the natural sciences, I always want to see concrete data that supports decision making and recommendations. However, because this COVID was previously unknown the data has been scarce, and the recommendations have been all over the place. It’s hard then to know what one should do or, as a pastor, to know what to do for the whole. We are observing the Diocesan recommendations based on the CDC recommendations and the Governor’s executive orders, but I am more and more becoming skeptical of the data upon which these things are based. Swiss Policy Research (swprs.org) has some interesting facts about COVID-19 that are worth considering. For example, According to the latest immunological and serological studies, the overall lethality of Covid-19 (IFR) is about 0.1% and thus in the range of a strong seasonal influenza (flu). The risk of death from a car ride is greater than the threat posed by the virus. And the list goes on. I share this because I do not believe we can always trust the information that we have been given, especially when many are still being told (outside of NC thankfully) that it’s not safe to go to church but completely safe to attend a protest or a Pride parade.

We Christians should never allow ourselves to become lemmings. We need to push back when there are contradictions in what we are hearing. Prudence and wisdom are always called for, but when the authorities lose credibility because of their own words and actions, it’s incumbent up each of us to start asking “what gives?” I’m not saying we shouldn’t wash our hands and take precautions, but we do need to start getting back to normal and opposing the tyranny of popular opinion and political narrative. Rather than turning to dark chocolate (my preference) and letting anxiety and fear rule our lives, we need to once again learn to live in the freedom that belongs to us in Christ Jesus (cf. Galatians 5:1).

From the pastor

While we are offering all of our regularly scheduled Masses now, we know that many are still unable to come to Mass. Take comfort in the words of St. John Vianney and take peace in the ability to make a Spiritual Communion today and everyday: “If we are deprived of Sacramental Communion, let us replace it, as far as we can, by Spiritual Communion, which we can make every moment; for we ought to have always a burning desire to receive the good God. Communion is to the soul like blowing a fire that is beginning to go out, but that still has plenty of hot embers; we blow, and the fire burns again. After the reception of the Sacraments, when we feel ourselves slacken in the love of God, let us have recourse at once to Spiritual Communion. When we cannot come to church, let us turn towards the tabernacle: a wall cannot separate us from the good God; let us ... make a Spiritual Communion. We can receive the good God only once a day; a soul on fire with love supplies for this by the desire to receive Him every moment." — St. John Vianney Prayer of Spiritual Communion:

My Jesus, I believe that You are present in the Most Holy Sacrament. I love You above all things, and I desire to receive You into my soul. Since I cannot at this moment receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace You as if You were already there and unite myself wholly to You. Never permit me to be separated from You.

Amen.


Just a reminder... the Saturday 5 pm Mass is now a mask-only Mass. Masks are required to attend. This is meant for the most vulnerable and those who are uncomfortable being around others who are not masked.

Physical distancing is also still in place. In the event the church reaches capacity, you may still hear the Mass on the outside sound system (in the covered walkways.) You can still come forward to receive Holy Communion at the conclusion of Mass.

Masks are recommended for all attending Sunday Mass. Communion will continue to be offered after all Masses.

Remember that the Bishop's dispensation regarding weekly Mass attendance is still in effect. If you are not comfortable attending or not well, please keep the Lord's Day holy by watching Mass on our Livestream at stmarknc.org/Livestream.

Thank you for your prayers and understanding.

STEWARDSHIP


Faith formation

Lord, make me a channel of your peace, that where there is hatred, I may bring love; that where there is wrong, I may bring the spirit of forgiveness; that where there is discord, I may bring harmony; that where there is error, I may bring truth; that where there is doubt, I may bring faith; that where there is despair, I may bring hope; that where there are shadows, I may bring light; that where there is sadness, I may bring joy. Lord, grant that I may seek rather to comfort than to be comforted; to understand, than to be understood; to love, than to be loved. For it is by self-forgetting that one finds. It is by forgiving that one is forgiven. It is by dying that one awakens to Eternal Life.

— Prayer of St. Francis of Assisi

Anuncios Semanales | Del Párroco En el evangelio de hoy de San Mateo, nuestro Señor comparte la parábola del sembrador que tira la semilla en diferentes tipos de tierra. Esta es una maravillosa analogía para el estilo de vida de un administrador de los bienes de Dios, mostrando el lento y firme, pero sobre todo poderoso efecto que este estilo de vida tendrá en los que la acojan completamente. En esta parábola, algunas de las

semillas caen en un camino en donde los pájaros las sacan antes de que empiecen a echar raíces. Otras semillas caen en terreno pedregoso con muy poca tierra. Tan pronto como todo empieza a calentar se queman y mueren. Luego hay semillas que caen en donde hay espinas y estas las ahogan justo cuando iban a empezar a crecer fuertes. Al final, hay semillas que caen en tierra profunda y sana. Estas producen abundante fruto. Aquí es en donde el estilo de vida de los corresponsales entra. Cuando damos lo mejor de nuestro tiempo, talento y tesoro para servir a Dios y a otros, creamos vidas llenas de esa extraña “tierra buena” necesaria para que el Reino de Dios florezca. ¿Como sucede esto? El estilo de vida de los corresponsales remueve las “rocas” de desconfianza de nuestra vida mientras vamos desarrollando una fe inmovible de que Dios siempre proveerá por nuestras necesidades. Retira las “espinas” de la ambición mundana que nos hace egocéntricos, y que nos llena con ansiedad innecesaria y sofoca nuestro enfoque en Dios. El vivir la corresponsabilidad requiere de una profunda dependencia en la Palabra de Dios y en los sacramentos los cuales nos alimentan continuamente y fertilizan la tierra de nuestra vida. Profundicemos nuestro compromiso en este estilo de vida, permitiendo al sembrador hacer su trabajo en nosotros, lento pero firme. El jardinero maestro con seguridad producirá frutos milagrosos a través de nosotros. © Catholic Stewardship Consultants, 2020 Reflexión Pastoral, Mascarillas, Tiranía y Chocolate Negro A este punto ya estamos en el segundo domingo de julio. La mitad del verano (24 de junio este año) ya está sobre nosotros. Todavía para mí, no se siente como verano. A excepción de las altas temperaturas, las cosas están casi

igual que hace un mes atrás. Mas personas están usando mascarillas, porque es lo que el gobernador dijo es lo que la gente debe hacer y muchos aún tienen miedo de ir lejos de sus casas. Con mis antecedentes en ciencias naturales, siempre quiero ver datos concretos que apoyan las decisiones y recomendaciones que se hacen. Sin embargo, porque el VOCID era desconocido, los datos han sido escasos y las recomendaciones han sido de todo tipo. Es difícil entonces saber lo que uno debe hacer, o como párroco, que hacer en general. Estamos observando las recomendaciones diocesanas basados en las recomendaciones del CDC y de las ordenes ejecutivas del gobernador, pero cada vez estoy más y más escéptico de los datos e información sobre los que estas cosas están basadas. Las investigaciones de políticas suizas (swprs.org) tiene algunos factores interesantes sobre el COVID-19 que vale la pena considerar. Por ejemplo, según los últimos estudios inmunológicos y serológicos, la letalidad total del COVID-19 (IFR) es de cerca del 0.1% y así es el promedio del tiempo de una fuerte influenza (flu). El riesgo de muerte de un accidente automovilístico es mucho mayor que la amenaza representada por el virus. Y la lista continua. Les comparto esto porque creo que no siempre podemos confiar en la información que se nos ha dado, especialmente cuando a muchos se les ha dicho (afortunadamente fuera de NC) que no es seguro ir a la iglesia, pero es completamente seguro ir a una protesta o a un desfile de Orgullo. Nosotros los cristianos no debemos permitir volvernos simples seguidores. Necesitamos rechazar cuando hay contradicciones en lo que estamos escuchando. La prudencia y la sabiduría siempre son necesarias. Pero cuando las autoridades pierden credibilidad por sus propias palabras y acciones, nos incumbe a todos nosotros el empezar a preguntar “¿con que derecho?” no estoy diciendo que no debamos lavarnos las manos y tomar precauciones, pero si necesitamos empezar a volver a nuestra normalidad y oponer la tiranía de opinión popular y narrativa política. En lugar de volver al chocolate negro (mi favorito) y dejar que la ansiedad y el miedo dominen nuestra vida, debemos una vez más aprender a vivir en la libertad que nos pertenece en Cristo Jesús (Gálatas 5:1).
