A MINDSET OF SERVICE There’s a lot of traveling, delivering, and visiting going on in our readings today. In Genesis Abra-ham cares for the needs of three mysterious trav-elers. The psalm responds, celebrating the kind of righteousness that Abraham practices. Then, in his letter to the Colossians, Saint Paul describes his own ministry as almost like a delivery service: he, God’s steward, brings the word of God to their community. Finally, Luke’s Gospel shares the well-known story of Mary and Martha, and the different ways they welcome Jesus into their home. Amid all this coming and going, we are in-vited to pay attention to the ways we tend to the needs of others. Each of us can ask, How am I present to God and others in my life?

Psalm 15 describes the life of justice and the re-ward of joy in God’s presence. We know that jus-tice always involves service. Can we find joy in service, perhaps even in suffering? Saint Paul writes to the Colossians that his life of suffering service to them and to the other churches is a source of joy to him. His relation-ship with them, although filled with affliction, is its own reward, as he brings people into relation-ship with Jesus Christ. Abraham and Sarah, the righteous elderly couple of the Old Testament, are emblematic of this kind of relationship. Abraham welcomes “strangers” with eager hospitality, not knowing that his visitors are divine messengers, even the Holy One of Israel! His spouse, Sarah, does all she can to aid Abraham in making their guests comfortable and welcome. In return for their generous hospitality, the childless aged couple are rewarded with a blessing—a son, Isaac. How do they differ from Martha, though? Mar-tha allows her duties and service to overwhelm her with anxiety. Abraham fairly leaps for joy to be of service to his guests. If you are a Martha, the lesson is to keep serving but find the joy that gives true meaning to your service.

PARISH ANNOUNCEMENTS
St. Thomas is preparing food for the “Table” at the Presbyterian Church every third Thursday of each month. We hope you will use the sign-up sheet so we know what food you bring and who the volunteer helpers will be on that Thursday. We need potatoes, carrots, ham, green beans, and milk. The sign-up sheet for the food is on the “Table” board and a half barrel marked “Table” underneath where you can put food the Sunday before. This is on the NW corner of the Hall.
THE TABLE
We will resume the Adora-tion of the Blessed Sacra-ment on Friday, August 2nd, from 9am to 9pm. Mass will be celebrated at 12pm. Please come and join us for Adoration on this First Fri-
day. We invite you to sign up for an hour of ado-ration during the 12 hours. The sign-up sheet is on the parish bulletin board in the church hall. Please consider signing up for an hour to ensure we have every hour covered, and hopefully more than one person per hour can come.
BLESSED SACRAMENT ADORATION
Lately, I have noticed that people continue to park in areas that are designated to be always open spaces because of hazards that are associated with those spaces. We have plenty of parking spaces in the church parking lot. Please do not park along the fence and/or the space in front of the stairs, in the corner of the back of the hall/church. By parking there, the vehicles are creating a dangerous sit-uation. Also, please help us to keep the doors closed. During the summer, we have the air condition-ing and the heater during the winter on a schedule so that it will be comfortable during the church services. Unfortunately, when people leave the doors open, the church will never cool down during the summer or be warm during the winter. Please help us by having all the doors of the church and hall closed. Thank you in advance for your support in these very important issues. May God continue to bless our parish of St. Thomas Aquinas, Fr. Abel

ANUNCIOS DE LA PARROQUIA
En la Iglesia de Santo Tomás tenemos la Adoración del Santísimo Sacramento el viernes 2 de agosto de 9am a 9pm. El Santísimo Sacramento estará expuesto en la custodia en el altar para Adoración y oración hasta las 10pm y la misa se ce-lebrará a las 12pm en Ingles. Por favor venga y acompáñenos para la Adoración en este primer viernes. Invitamos que
personas se registren para una Hora Santa. La hoja de inscripción está en el tablero de anuncios en el salón de la iglesia. Considere inscribirse durante una hora para asegurarse de que tengamos por lo menos un adorador por hora, y si es posible más de una persona por hora.
Últimamente, he notado que las personas continúan estacionándose en áreas designadas para estar siempre libres debido a los peligros que están asociados con esos espacios. Tenemos muchos espa-cios en el estacionamiento de la iglesia. Por favor, no se estacione a lo largo de la cerca y/o el espacio enfrente de las escaleras, en la esquina de la parte posterior del salón. Al estacionarse allí, se produce una situación peligrosa. Además, por favor ayúdenos a mantener las puertas cerradas. Durante el ve-rano, tenemos el aire acondicionado y el calentador durante el invierno en un horario para que sea cómodo durante las misas de la iglesia. Desafortunadamente, cuando la gente deja las puertas abier-tas, la iglesia nunca se enfriará durante el verano ni se calentará durante el invierno. Por favor ayú-denos cerrando todas las puertas de la iglesia y el salón. Gracias de antemano por su apoyo en estos temas tan importantes. Que Dios continúe bendiciendo nuestra parroquia de Santo Tomás de Aquino, P. Abel
ADORACIÓN AL SANTÍSIMO
Te invitamos todos los martes a las 7pm en el salón de la parroquia de Santo Tomas de Aquino a la Ultreya, donde por medio del testi-monio personal hablamos de los retos de la vida y el crecimiento en nuestra relación "Cristo Cuenta Contigo".
EL GRUPO DE CURSILLO
Por favor, asegúrese de revisar todos los discos, folletos y libros católicos en nuestro estante de medios en el salón de la Iglesia. ¡Con una buena variedad de artículos hay algo inspi-
rador e informativo sobre la Fe para todos! Solo deposite una donación en la abertura.
ESTANTE DE MATERIAL RELIGIOSO (LIGHTHOUSE)
St. Thomas de Aquino te invita a su grupo de oración. Nos reunimos todos los Sábados des-pués de misa de 4pm en la iglesia.
GRUPO DE ORACIÓN
Los papás y padrinos son los educa-dores principales en la fe del niño o niña. Por esta razón, los papás y pa-drinos deben asistir a UNA PLATI-CA para aprender de las responsabi-lidades que tienen hacia el creci-miento espiritual del niño o niña. Estas platicas se llevan acabo el
cuarto Jueves de cada mes a las 7:00pm en la iglesia. Les pedimos que por favor lleguen a las 6:45pm para registrarse para que su asistencia sea valida. Para mas información y requisitos por favor de llamar a la oficina parroquial al (707) 255-2949. Es muy importante que los pa-drinos cumplan con los requisitos para poder participar como padrinos. Las personas que cali-fican para participar como padrinos deben de estar casados por la iglesia o solteros completa-mente. En el mes de julio la plática se ofre-cerá el jueves 25 a las 7:00pm.
CLASE DE BAUTISMO
Se les pide a todos los que estén enfermos, en silla de ruedas, o que no puedan caminar fácil-mente y quieran recibir la comunión en la Misa, favor de sentarse en las primeras bancas de la iglesia y darnos a saber, antes de la misa, que les gustaría recibir la comunión para estar seguros de que vayan a recibir la comunión. Muchas gra-cias por su ayuda y entendimiento.

Gospel: Lk 10:38-42
R. Alleluia, alleluia. Blessed are they who have kept the word with a generous heart and yield a harvest through perse-
verance. R. Alleluia, alleluia.
R. Aleluya, aleluya. Dichosos los que cumplen la palabra del Señor
con un corazón bueno y sincero, y perseveran hasta dar fruto. R. Aleluya.
Jesus entered a village where a woman whose name was Mar-tha welcomed him. She had a sister named Mary who sat be-side the Lord at his feet listen-ing to him speak. Martha, bur-dened with much serving, came to him and said, "Lord, do you not care that my sister has left me by myself to do the serving? Tell her to help me." The Lord said to her in reply, "Martha, Martha, you are anxious and worried about many things. There is need of only one thing. Mary has chosen the better part and it will not be taken from her."

En aquel tiempo, entró Jesús en un poblado, y una mujer, llamada Marta, lo recibió en su casa. Ella tenía una hermana, llamada María, la cual se sentó a los pies de Jesús y se puso a escuchar su palabra. Marta, entre tanto, se afanaba en di-
versos quehaceres, hasta que, acercándose a Jesús, le dijo: “Señor, ¿no te has dado cuenta de que mi hermana me ha dejado sola con todo el quehacer? Dile que me ayude”. El Señor le respondió: “Marta, Marta, muchas cosas te preocupan y te inquietan, siendo así que una sola es necesaria. María escogió la me-jor parte y nadie se la quitará”.
