Pastor’s Letter June 13/14 Dear Parish Family, This weekend at our 9:30 Mass, we keep an annual tradition of blessing our graduates. Although we focus on our local public and Catholic high school students, it is also a time for us to honor graduates of every kind. So whether you are taking that big step from pre-school to kindergarten or stepping up to receive your PhD, we bless and honor you this weekend. There is something wonderful about education. As a teacher, I have always enjoyed the fact that each semester has a beginning and an end. We teachers pass our students on to the next level and are happy to receive the incoming class. It gives us a chance to celebrate accomplishment and also the chance to start over with new hope and another opportunity to learn. Of course, the great truth of education, and the most important one, is that it is never done. We should never feel or say that our education is complete. People who know this are called lifelong learners. My grandfather was a great example of a lifelong learner. He read Popular Science and National Geographic magazines well into his 90’s. Unlike some of his peers, he had no contempt for new things; he always wanted to be in the know about inventions, ideas, and discoveries. What a great example he was to me! Faith itself is a process of lifelong learning. More than just facts about God and the Church, faith means the effort to keep understanding what the mystery of God is about. The new things of this world, its history, its trials and sorrows, can all challenge us to keep asking and seeking a deeper understanding of our faith. I hope that our graduates and each one of us never give up our lifelong learning. And most especially, that we never stop asking and learning about our faith. Happy graduation and congratulations to all our graduates this year! Sincerely yours in Christ,

Rev. Michael A. Vetrano, Pastor

Did you know... about Bernard Nathanson, MD, abortion proponent turned Pro-Life? Dr. Nathanson was a New York City

Obstetrician-Gynecologist who, in the 1960's, ran the largest freestanding abortion clinic in the world, and was a

founding member of the National Abortion Rights Action League, or NARAL. He presided over more than 60,000

abortions, doing thousands himself. In the late 1970's, in part because of the availability of improved ultrasound imaging,

he began to question the morality of his actions, and completely changed his mind, becoming an outspoken opponent of

abortion. He wrote extensively on the subject, including a book titled "The Hand of God: A Journey from Death to Life". In

1996, he converted from Judaism, and became Catholic, being Baptized by John Cardinal O'Connor. He always

emphasized that he came to Catholicism after he became convinced that abortion was wrong -- not because the Church

said so; he was attracted in great part because one could find forgiveness in the Catholic church. Dr. Nathanson died at

the age of 84, and was buried from St. Patrick's Cathedral, in New York City.

4th Annual Fortnight For Freedom: Freedom to Bear Witness

In 1953, Pope Pius XII stated, “We belong to the Church militant; and She is militant because on earth the powers of darkness are ever restless to encompass Her destruction.”

Sunday’s readings may remind us of the adage, “Don’t judge a book by its cover.” Who would ex-pect a tiny mustard seed to grow into “the largest of plants”? Or a tender shoot to become “a majes-tic cedar”? St. Paul puts it a bit differently: “We walk by faith and not by sight,” but the point is similar. God “bring[s] low the high tree” and “lift[s] high the lowly tree.” Nothing is what it seems; it’s even better. Every one of us, no matter how insignificant in a world of celebrity, has the poten-tial to be great. Be sure to tap that potential and nurture it in others. We are all equal in the eyes of God, and we all have equal capacity to serve one another according to the gifts God has given us. Rejoice and be glad!

Catecismo de la Iglesia Católica: El Reino - “El Reino de Dios… [es] justicia y paz y gozo en el Espíritu Santo” (Rm 14, 17). Los últimos tiempos en los que estamos son los de la efusión del Espíritu Santo. Desde entonces está entablado un combate decisivo entre “la carne” y el Espíritu (cf Ga 5, 16-25). «Solo un corazón puro puede decir con seguridad: “¡Venga a nosotros tu Reino!” Es necesario haber estado en la escuela de Pablo para decir: “Que el pecado no reine ya en nuestro cuerpo mortal” (Rm 6, 12). El que se conserva puro en sus acciones, sus pensamientos y sus palabras, puede decir a Dios: “¡Venga tu Reino!”» (San Cirilo de Jerusalén, Catecheses mystagogicae 5, 13). Discerniendo según el Espíritu, los cristianos deben distinguir entre el crecimiento del Reino de Dios y el progreso de la cultura y la promoción de la sociedad en las que están implicados. Esta distinción no es una separación. La vocación del hombre a la vida eterna no suprime, sino que refuerza su deber de poner en práctica las energías y los medios recibidos del Creador para servir en este mundo a la justicia y a la paz (cf GS 22; 32; 39; 45; EN 31). (CCE, §2819-2820)

El Reino de Dios - Leyendo las Escrituras queda por demás claro que la propuesta del Evangelio no es sólo la de una relación personal con Dios. Nuestra respuesta de amor tampoco debería entenderse como una mera suma de pequeños gestos personales dirigidos a algunos individuos necesitados, lo cual podría constituir una “caridad a la carta”, una serie de acciones tendentes sólo a tranquilizar la propia conciencia. La propuesta es el Reino de Dios (cf. Lc 4,43); se trata de amar a Dios que reina en el mundo. En la medida en que Él logre reinar entre nosotros, la vida social será ámbito de fraternidad, de justicia, de paz, de dignidad para todos. Entonces, tanto el anuncio como la experiencia cristiana tienden a provocar consecuencias sociales. Buscamos su Reino: “Buscad ante todo el Reino de Dios y su justicia, y todo lo demás vendrá por añadidura” (Mt 6,33). El proyecto de Jesús es instaurar el Reino de su Padre; Él pide a sus discípulos: “¡Proclamad que está llegando el Reino de los cielos!” (Mt 10,7). Tomado de Evangelii Gaudium, el 24 de noviembre del año 2013, §180

Seguro de Salud para Niños - La representante de Fidelis Care, Konny Tapias, estará en el Apostolado Hispano los miércoles de las 10 AM hasta la 1:00 PM, para ayudar con seguro de salud para los niños.

Intenciones del Papa para Junio Universal: Para que los inmigrantes y los refugiados encuentren acogida y respeto en los países a donde llegan. Por la Evangelización: Para que el encuentro personal con Jesús suscite en muchos jóvenes el deseo de ofrecerle la propia vida en el sacerdocio o en la vida consagrada.
