Prayer Chain: To place your request on the prayer chain, please call the Parish Office or Charlene Herzig at 330-343-1063.

Spiritual Notes:Just as last week’s Gospel illustrated the importance of faith, today’s Gospel shows the consequence of a lack of faith. When Jesus comes to “his native place,” Nazareth, He encounters rejection. His teaching in the synagogue on the Sabbath is met with astonishment. “Where did this man get all this?” the people ask. In our English translation, the term “this man” does not convey the negative connotation it carried in the original Greek. For them, this carpenter, the son of Mary, does not have the qualifications to be a spokesperson for God, and they took offense at Him. Their lack of faith is presented as an obstacle to Jesus’ miracle working; “He was not able to perform any mighty deed there, apart from curing a few sick.” Jesus’ early followers also met rejection when they began to preach in synagogues; Mark’s text provides encouragement in the face of rejection. Like Jesus in today’s Gospel, the prophet Ezekiel also encounters a hostile audience. God sends him to the Israelites, “rebels who have rebelled against me. In commanding the prophet to speak to them, God says, “You shall say to them: Thus says the Lord God!” These are not the prophet’s words but God’s. “The spirit entered into me,” Ezekiel says, and so the words he speaks bear the authority of God. Like Ezekiel, Paul writes knowing that the words he speaks and writes are not his own but those of God. The mysterious “thorn in the flesh” he was given keeps him humble and reminds him of his need for God’s grace.

For reflection: Am I discouraged when I meet rejection in my work for the gospel? Am I aware of times when God works through me to influence the lives of others?

Welcome20 Ways to welcome new parishioners or guests to our parish… Hospitality is not a given among Christians, it’s a calling which requires a specific skill set.

1. Every church member is a host and not a guest. Making visitors feel welcome is primarily the responsibility of members, not the nebulous “church.”

2. The most important person for a visitor to talk to in order to feel at home in a new church is you. It is not the pastor, or the greeter, but a regular attendee.

3. Treat first-time visitors as guests of God, not strangers.

4. Smile at everyone and offer your hand.5. Look people in the eye and smile.

To be continued…

Spring is a time of renewal; Why not renew your marriage? The person you have chosen to love for a lifetime deserves the very best. Say “I love you” by taking time for the two of you at a Worldwide Marriage Encounter Weekend. Celebrate the gift of love GOD has given you in one another and learn more communication techniques of a Christ-centered marriage filled with romance and intimacy. Upcoming weekends are June 26-28 in Hudson, Ohio, and October 16-18 in Green, Ohio. For more information, call 330-305-9963.

Decimocuarto Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario4 y 5 de Julio del 2015

Notas Espirituales:Así como el Evangelio de la semana pasada ilustra la importancia de la fe, el Evangelio de hoy muestra la consecuencia de una falta de fe. Cuando Jesús viene a “su lugar natal,” Nazaret, se encuentra con el rechazo. Su enseñanza en la sinagoga en sábado se reunió con asombro. “¿De dónde tiene éste todo esto?,” La gente pregunta. En nuestra traducción Inglés, el término “este hombre” no transmite la relación negativa que lleve en el griego original. Para ellos, este “carpintero, hijo de María,” no posee las cualificaciones para ser un portavoz de Dios ,” y se escandalizan a causa de él.” Su “falta de fe” se presenta como un obstáculo de milagros de Jesús: “Él no era capaz de realizar cualquier acto o fuerza allí, sólo curó algunos enfermos.” Los primeros seguidores de Jesús se reunieron también el rechazo cuando comenzaron a predicar en las sinagogas; Texto de Marcos ofrece aliento ante este rechazo. Al igual que Jesús en el Evangelio de hoy, el profeta Ezequiel también se encuentra con gente no amistosa. Dios lo envía “a los israelitas, los rebeldes que se rebelaron contra mí.” Ordenando al profeta para hablar con ellos, Dios dice: “Tú les dirás: Así ha dicho el SEÑOR Dios!.” Estas no son las palabras del profeta, sino de Dios. “El espíritu entró en mí,” dice Ezequiel, y así las palabras que dice soportar la autoridad de Dios. Al igual que Ezequiel, Pablo escribe a sabiendas de que las palabras que él habla y escribe no son suyos, sino los de Dios. El misterioso “aguijón en la carne” que le dieron lo mantiene humilde y le recuerda la necesidad de la gracia de Dios. “El poder de Cristo,” que habita en nosotros se manifiesta a través de nuestra debilidad.

Para reflexionar: ¿Estoy desanimado cuando me encuentro con el rechazo en mi trabajo por el Evangelio? ¿Soy consciente a veces, cuando Dios obra a través de mí para tocar las vidas de los demás?
