We have exciting news

for Resurrection Parish:

Fr. Greg Corrigan will be our pastor

effective July 8, 2020.

“Let us rise up and build. Then they encouraged each other for this good work.” Nehemiah 2:18 _______________________________________________________________________________________ A Partial Farewell from Fr. Bill Graney I have felt that the value of term limits for pastors was good since we all have different gifts put in service to the People of God and the Gospel. In my formation, my teachers and professors were not ego trips, but by example they taught me to use gifts in service to others. The same can be said for most of the parishioners of Resurrection. In 1967 thru Spring of 1971, I found myself in a seminary system that separated academic training from formation for ministry. Those years were revolutionary since Vatican documents had been written and were to implement those realities. Resurrection was being gestated in those years and born in 1969. By the grace of God, I have been part of this parish community. I hesitated writing “parish” since we have always seen ourselves in service to a larger community chiefly through its social concerns/justice ministry.

13th Sunday of Ordinary Time

310 https://resurrectionde.org/ www.facebook.com/resurrectionde 2

In our past musicians’ concert, we enjoyed the radical touch of Res. Opening with the children singing: “Our hearts are restless until they rest in you,” did they we all realize they were quoting St. Augustine of North Africa of the early 5th century! Don’t we all pray that they will treasure that lyric throughout their lives. “City of God” was sung and the same Augustine wrote a book of the same title. “Rain down” reminded me of Pentecost experience. A favorite prayerful expression: Spirit of the Living God fall afresh on me (us).

I came to Res in 2004, so, so many memories! One striking radical moment was when as part of the opening prayer, a prophetic member delivered a reading from Gustavo Gutierrez. In my controlled way, I recall internally “pinching myself” and asking self: is this really happening? Yesterday’s radical may be accused of living in the past. But again: don’t throw the baby out with the bath water. By the grace of God, Fr. Gene Walsh was with us in Washington, DC, for three years of my formation.

His sentiments: “The central energy of all ministry is seen no longer as only “doing things” for people, but rather making yourself “present to” them. It is the very personal energy of going out of your way to “pay attention” to everyone else. This shift in point of view is revolutionary.” Ergo, we don’t say Mass for you but celebrate with you. Enough for now, with joy, Fr. Bill Graney ____________________________________________________________________________________________________ Outdoor Mass 9:30 a.m. on Sunday Virtual Mass on Our Website

Prayer to Overcome Racism

Mary, friend and mother to all, through your Son, God has found a way to unite himself to every human being, called to be one people, sisters and brothers to each other. We ask for your help in calling on your Son, seeking forgiveness for the times when we have failed to love and respect one another. We ask for your help in obtaining from your Son the grace we need to overcome the evil of racism and to build a just society. We ask for your help in following your Son, so that prejudice and animosity will no longer infect our minds or hearts but will be replaced with a love that respects the dignity of each person. Mother of the Church, the Spirit of your Son Jesus warms our hearts: pray for us. Amen.

Taking it Home by Deacon John

In the gospel today, Jesus tells his disciples that “whoever loves father, mother, son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.” This seems to be a rather harsh judgment and a pretty radical statement. How can something so good not be worthy of God? But the issue is not that love of father, mother, son or daughter is unimportant. Such love is good. It is only when we make it of ultimate importance that we begin to distort our relationship with God and make our family relationships compete with our God drive for God’s love. This is not meant to be a putdown of our family relationships. When placed in their proper perspective, they can become symbols of our love for God; those loved by God love others as well. Our love of father, mother, son and daughter flows from our love of God. In fact, all our loving relationships and our whole being flow from this relationship between us and God because it is only God who can give us ultimate meaning and worth and love us so unconditionally.

GOSPEL REFLECTION When we hear the term, yoke, we tend to think about the yoke that is used to harness oxen together or the yoke that someone might carry on their shoulder to balance a heavy load. This yoke across the shoulder was adopted into tailoring and so the shoulder piece set into a shirt is also called a yoke. However, in the Jewish tradition there is a completely different meaning to the term. The yoke of a rabbi was his particular interpretation of Torah (the Law); his particular teaching. Disciples who followed a particular rabbi sought to take on his yoke; his particular interpretation. The yoke of any rabbi was best identified by asking him, ‘Which is the greatest commandment?’ A rabbi’s answer to this question revealed his interpretation of Torah. When Jesus is asked that question, he answers, ‘Love God and love your neighbor,’ and goes on to say that all of the rest of the Law and the prophets flows on from these two commandments. This is the yoke – the interpretation of Torah – that Jesus taught. In today’s gospel, Jesus calls to him all those who labor and are overburdened. It is the Pharisaic interpretation of the Law that burdens these people. Trying to maintain the Law was burdensome and complicated for the everyday person. Jesus says, ‘Shoulder my yoke and learn from me … my yoke is easy.’ The yoke of Jesus was easy: Love God and love your neighbor. Compared to the 613 mitzvot (commands) set out in the Torah and strictly maintained by the Pharisees, the yoke of Jesus was incredibly easy to understand and adopt. So simple, in fact, that it required a child-like simplicity to accept this yoke.

ORDINARY TIME 14TH SUNDAY

GOSPEL – MATTHEW 11: 25-30 At that time Jesus exclaimed: “I give praise to you, Father,

Lord of heaven and earth, for although you have hidden these things from the wise and the learned you have revealed them to little ones.

Yes, Father, such has been your gracious will.

All things have been handed over to me by my Father.

No one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and anyone to whom the Son wishes to reveal him.

“Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest.

Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am meek and humble of heart; and you will find rest for yourselves.

For my yoke is easy, and my burden light.”

Jewish education: Education in Galilee at the time of Jesus was highly valued. From the age of five, all boys and girls studied to memorize in totality the five books of the Torah (the first five books of the Bible). This period of study was called Beth Sefer. From about 10-14 they continued studying and memorizing the remaining books of scripture (Beth Talmud). From about 14 or 15, only the very best students would enter Beth Midrash and apply to a rabbi to become his talmid – disciple – and seek to take on that rabbi’s yoke.

Shoulder my yoke: Jesus invites us to shoulder his yoke and learn from him for he is gentle and humble in heart. The yoke he invites us to shoulder is the deceptively simple teaching: love God and love your neighbor. To love God is to consciously make a place in our lives for God. The busy spin that tends to be characteristic of so many people’s lives today does not allow room for God; does not allow room for prayer and quiet; does not allow room for compassionate response to others. To love God and love our neighbor we must first make room for them.

Have you thought? Thank God! Jesus’ quite intimate words to the Father in today’s passage carry with them an enormous amount of relief and perhaps released frustration. It is almost a cry of ‘Thank God!’ for his disciples have finally ‘got it’. Jesus blesses the Father for revealing the truth to these simple men whom Jesus had chosen to follow him. The men Jesus chose as disciples were not following another rabbi and so had not been the very best students from their village. They had the education of most children but nothing more – otherwise they would have been following someone else!

Q. In what ways do the two halves of today’s reading complement each other? Q. Why might God have hidden things from ‘the learned and the clever’? Q. How might we find rest for our souls if we take up the yoke of Jesus? Q. What message do you take from today’s gospel and reflection?
