July 3, 2016, Fourteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time

Dear Parishioners:

We are progressing through the Fortnight for Freedom, program designed by the

United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (www.usccg.ord) to bring attention to and

action for religious freedom both here in the U.S. and around the world. One need not look

far for examples of the abuse and outright denial of religious freedom.

The example of the Little Sisters of the Poor demonstrates the aggressiveness of

government to further an agenda irrespective of the practice of religious freedom. A radical

agenda of providing drugs that are classified as carcinogenic (World Health Organization),

increase chances of triple-negative breast cancer (National Institutes of Health), which often do not prevent

conception, and other effects is fostered on those who hold for the sacredness of human life. California has just

ruled that insurers must provide elective abortions regardless of conscience.

Pregnancy is a natural possible result from sexual relations. It is not a disease or something wrong. Children

are gifts God gives to us. The fact that there is a method of spacing children that is natural and 99.5% method

effective makes no difference. The fact that virtue is needed to act properly in sexual matters, becomes a

non-issue because it is a matter of religious thinking and should be ignored by public policy.

Our government has little worry when we talk of freedom of worship — because worship is conducted inside

the church and does not get involved with the public square. “Keep your faith inside the church walls and all will

be fine.” God tells us to go out into the world and society tells us to stay in our own back yard. Out of this

privatization of religion, we are seeing a rise in radical individualism.

Indeed, we are individuals, made in the image and likeness of God, but not merely individual persons. Each of

us is in fact, a son, daughter, sibling, friend, spouse, etc. We are connected and accountable to others. We are

more than mere individuals. To focus too much on our individuality and separateness, we end up traveling down

the road of nihilism in a universe made up of me. I may let in [on my terms of course] and just as easily “kick you

out” when I weary of your novelty Eventually, I have my own universe, rule over my own loneliness, and

perversely wonder why no one wants to be like me or even like me.

I fear in part that we have developed a false compassion for others. We see some of that in the self-esteem

movement of giving everyone a trophy so some will not feel bad. Officials at the University of North Carolina

recently released online guidelines to employees on issues ranging from gender-neutral dress codes to casual

conversations about women’s shoes – in hopes of staving off the spread of this heinous disease. There are other

such examples and the list is growing.

I think some of this goes back several years when much was being said about the growth of the therapeutic

society. It is a loose term but descriptive. “Let’s help everyone feel good,” and all will be well. Religion teaches us

that even when things don’t go splendidly, all will be well because we do not focus on the immediate but far

horizon at the end of our lives.

Religious foci point to purpose, direction, commitment, true compassion, generosity, beauty, goodness,

respect for human nature, and so many of the goods that build up society. When we chop away at this freedom,

we lessen society little by little. Some may object that we are making a big deal out of some rather small stuff. I

would answer sometimes small matters are a big deal when they chew at the foundation of true liberty.

This July 4th, let’s celebrate the birth of the Constitutional Republic. Our founders put together a tremendous

framework of liberty and responsibility, perhaps the best ever written. Let us treasure our religious liberty, cherish

a country willing to protect this right and by our lives show how much we love our country by exercising active

citizenship. The rest of the world recognizes just what a treasure we possess.

Let’s keep her strong.

Msgr. Bill

Mass Intentions for the Week

Society of St. Vincent de Paul’s Annual

Black Bag Collection Next Weekend, July 9-10 In next Sunday’s Gospel, when Jesus asks

“which of these three, in your opinion, was

neighbor to the robbers’ victim?” the scholar

of the law answered, “the one who treated

him with mercy.” Jesus then said, “Go and do

likewise.” You can also treat the poor with mercy by sup-

porting the Society or St. Vincent de Paul Black Bag Col-

lection. Your donations have a direct impact on the Hou-

ston community. In the past, your generosity provided over

$5.7 million in food, rent & utility assistance, clothing and

furniture to your neighbors in need. Help the Society con-

tinue our mission of Charity. Please Donate.

The Annual Black Bag collection is the only Annual Fund

Raiser for the Archdiocesan Office of the Society of St.

Vincent de Paul. Funds go directly to provide services for

the Archdiocesan Food Pantry, Archdiocesan Vincentian

Service Center Furniture Distribution Program, Archdioce-

san Natural Disaster and Flood Relief Efforts, Archdioce-

san Thrift Store for Clothing and Household Items and

Archdiocesan Home Visit Program to help with rent,

electric and medical needs to families throughout the

Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston.

Our Lady of

Mount Carmel Mass for the Feast of Our Lady of

Mount Carmel will be celebrated

Thursday, July 14, 7:00 pm with

the international rosary beginning

at 6:30 pm. Following the Mass

there will be an opportunity to be

invested in the Brown Scapular of

Our Lady of Mount Carmel. The

Blessed Virgin appeared to St.

Simon Stock in 1251, gave him

the Brown Scapular and promised

privileges and protection to all persons who would

wear the Scapular and lead a consistent Christian

life. Pope Leo XIII in 1888 prescribed the

investiture prayer used by the priest in giving the

Brown Scapular.

A big thank you to the 36 donors who gave at the Parish Blood Drive last Sunday, June 26. A total of 44 blood products were provided. 52 people tried to give blood. 8 people gave through the automated method which counts as 2 units and 28 people gave

whole blood. 16 people tried to give but were de-ferred; please try again. We also had 21 people who made appointments. Thank you so much for that. We had some wait after the 9:00 Mass because of many people coming in at that time. Even donors with ap-pointments had to wait a while since there are already people in the screening stations and on the tables. We will review your feedback and make every effort to respond to your suggestions. Thank you for respond-ing to the call of love and mercy and thank you for your efforts to help the blood drive run smoothly.

Next blood drive is August 28th Mark your Calendars!

PEACE

The greeting of peace at Mass adds substance to a message

of today’s readings: peace is relational. When we greet in

peace the person near us at Mass, we share the touch of a

handshake or embrace, sincere eye contact, and friendly

words. The scriptures speak of a similar peace. The first

reading from Isaiah describes the peace of the holy city,

Jerusalem, a place of prosperity and comfort where the

“Lord’s power shall be known to his servants” (Isaiah

66:14c). The Christian understanding of peace changes

slightly. Paul writes of the “peace and mercy” on all who

are created anew. Jesus describes a feeling of peace that

will rest on those who accept his disciples and their mes-

sage. Peace is both an absence of strife and a personal

blessing. May we always and sincerely bring peace to our

own lives as we share it with others. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

Parish Information

Sometimes life shifts in unexpected ways. When a ca-reer path comes to an unexpected dead end, when loved ones die or leave us, when our health fails, when our poor choices bring us low, when aging hinders our ability to contribute our time and treasure in our accustomed way: these are all turning points when the choice of a new vo-cation may present itself. Our religious history is full of turning point stories: Saul recanting Pharisaism on the road to Damascus; Thomas a Becket choosing service to the Church over service to the King; Carol Wojtyla struggling under Nazi oppression; Mary bravely facing unexpected parenthood, certain scandal and heartbreak. A story that may make you think of choices made when life seems against you, is the enjoyable and vocations relevant movie (especially for Independence Day!), Saint of 9/11. Saint of 9/11 is the remarkable story of Fr. Mychal Judge, NYC Fire Department chaplain, who perished in the Twin Towers tragedy. Fr. Mychal’s early life was framed by his father’s death, his depression-era childhood, and his alcoholism and sex-ual orientation, yet he determined on a course marked by extraordinary works of charity and deep spirituality, and became well known for ministering to the homeless, the addicted, those suffering from AIDS and those alienated by the Church and society. See Saint of 9/11 on Netflix or Amazon Video. Brought to you

Décimocuarto Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario

3 de julio de 2016

ENCONTRARSE CON CRISTO Una vez un amigo me dijo que él vive cada día de su vida en busca de alguna oportunidad de encontrarse

con el Señor. Yo le contesté que así era como yo también vivía mi vida. Pero un día descubrí lo que él quería de-

cir exactamente con esa frase. Un buen día mi amigo tenía algo que hacer en mi vecindario y se había topado con

un muchacho descalzo, que estaba pidiendo limosna a las personas que salían del supermercado. Mi amigo le dijo

al muchacho que iba a hacer lo que pudiera para conseguirle un par de zapatos y una muda de ropa limpia. Y, ¿a

dónde piensan que se le ocurrió llevar al muchacho para buscarle zapatos y ropa? ¡A mi casa! Yo me quedé

desconcertado al verlos llegar a mi casa y oír a mi amigo explicándome la situación. Me dijo que estaba encan-

tado de haber hallado una oportunidad en este día de encontrarse con Cristo. Yo no sabía ni qué decir, pero a la

vez sentí una gran humildad al sentir la presencia de Cristo en mi casa. Fui a mi gavetero y vacilé unos momentos

mientras miraba algunas prendas de vestir que no había usado en

algún tiempo. Pero algo dentro de mí me dijo que fuera a mi ar-

mario. Allí saqué mis jeans favoritos, una camisa bastante nueva

con un buen suéter, alguna ropa interior nueva, un par de zapatos

y calcetines. El muchacho entró al baño a cambiarse, y cuando

salió su cara estaba radiante de alegría. Mientras tanto, mi amigo

había ido a mi refrigerador y le había preparado una comida para

llevarse. Luego lo llevó a un lugar donde podría pasar la noche.

EL LLAMADO SURGE DEL ENCUENTRO Esta experiencia me enseñó mucho sobre lo que significa ser una

persona que procura seguir a Cristo. Descubrí que para llegar a

conocer a Cristo más y más, tenemos que ser nosotros los que lo

busquemos en las personas con quienes nos encontramos cada

día de nuestras vidas. Hoy el Señor Jesús nos pide que recemos para que su Padre envíe más trabajadores a su

cosecha. Roguemos para que cada vez más hombres y mujeres tengan el valor de buscar a Cristo en su vida di-

aria. Y tal vez algunas de esas personas oirán la voz del Señor que les llama al ministerio del sacerdocio o del

diaconado.

Lecturas de hoy: Isaías 66:10–14c; Salmo 66:1–7, 16, 20; Gálatas 6:14–18; Lucas 10:1–12, 17–20 [1–9] Copyright © 2006, World Library Publications. All rights reserved.

La Bienaventurada Virgen María del Monte Carmelo

El Padre Witold Kania celebrará la Santa Misa en honor a Nuestra Señora del Carmen

el jueves 14 de julio a las 7:00 p.m. El rezo del rosario internacional comienza a las

6:30 p.m. Después de la misa seguirá el rito de la bendición y la imposición del

Escapulario. El Escapulario es un símbolo de la protección de la Madre de Dios a sus

devotos y un signo de su consagración a María. Nos lo dio La Santísima Virgen

entregándoselo al General de la Orden del Carmen, San Simón Stock, según la

tradición, el 16 de julio de 1251, con estas palabras: «Toma este hábito, el que muera

con él no padecerá el fuego eterno». Prometió su protección a todas las personas que

vistieran habitualmente con el Escapulario y llevaran una vida cristiana coherente. El

Papa León XIII en 1888 prescribió la oración de investidura utilizada por el sacerdote

al imponer el escapulario del Carmen.

LA PAZ El saludo de la paz en la Misa fundamenta un mensaje de las lecturas de hoy: la paz es relacional. Cuan-do le damos la paz a la persona que está cerca de nosotros en la Misa, compartimos el roce de un apretón de manos o un abrazo, el contacto visual sincero y palabras amistosas. Las Escrituras hablan de una paz similar. La primera lectura de Isaías describe la paz como la ciudad sagrada, Jerusalén, un lugar de prosperidad y de consuelo donde “Los siervos del Señor conocerán su poder”. El entendimiento cristiano de la paz cambia ligera-mente. San Pablo escribe sobre “la paz y la misericordia” para todos los que son nuevas criaturas. Jesús describe un sentimiento de paz que se posará sobre los que aceptan a sus discípulos y a su mensaje. La paz es tanto la ausencia de conflictos como una bendición personal. Que siempre y sinceramente traiga-mos paz a nuestras propias vidas mientras la compartimos con los demás. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE En muchos santua-rios de latinoamerica y Europa se pueden encontrar diver-sas ofrendas que han dejado los fieles a través de los siglos. Entre estas ofrendas es de particular relieve el exvoto. Ex-voto (una frase en latín que se traduce “del voto”) es el regalo que se le presenta al santo o a la santa en reconoci-miento del favor recibido. Esto también se llama “manda”. Los exvotos o mandas toman varias formas desde pequeñas medallas en forma de la parte del cuerpo que fue sanado hasta pinturas del milagro concedido. El exvoto más anti-guo en América es de una pintura mandada a hacer por Hernán Cortés en honor de Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe de Extremadura (España). Esta imagen reconocía el hecho de ser salvado del piquete de un alacrán mientras estaba en México. Lamentablemente esta pintura se extravió en el siglo XIX. En realidad el santo o la santa no necesita el exvoto pero los creyentes sí. Estas mandas nos recuerdan el poder de la intercesión divina en la vida humana. Tam-bién nos invitan al agradecimiento de los favores que Dios nos hace. —Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
