FOURTEENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME

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.”

PLANNING AWARENESS

WEEK

July 19-25, 2020 Live the truth and beauty of God’s plan

for married love!!

For Sunday, July 05, 2020 • 14th Sunday Ordinary Time I remember getting the message that my godson was about to be born. Weeks previously, I was honored when my friends asked me to be the godfather for their second child, and then I was shocked that they’d also asked me to be present when that child was born.

After a stressful day, I found myself in the hospital. With her husband by her side, and the nursing staff assisting, this soon-to-be moth-er gave a few strong final pushes. After the initial excited announcement of “it’s a boy,” silence fell. There was still more activity going on, but everything seemed a lot more peaceful. After about fifteen minutes, this tiny, seven-pound, wrapped bundle of human miracu-lousness was placed in my arms for the first time.

Having been present for his birth continues to teach me an all-important life lesson. The experience of true spiritual joy comes at a price. It’s not cheap and it’s surely not free.

I’ll never forget the image of labor pains nor the relief and delight when this baby boy was first given to his mother. Oftentimes I sit in the darkness of my hermitage at night, with only a candle lit in front of my crucifix, and I think of the excruciating pains that Jesus en-dured: the misunderstandings from his closest friends, the intense grief of the death of his friend Lazarus, the heartbreaking image of seeing his mother along Calvary’s path, the vicious torture at the hands of the Roman soldiers, and the utter humiliation and indescriba-ble precision of his execution and the accompanying ridicule of the onlookers.

It is in these quiet nights of prayer when I feel perplexed by life or frustrated by my weaknesses that I have often been reminded that this is not the end of Jesus’ story nor is it the end of mine. When all hope seemed lost, God’s mysterious plan continued. After grief and confusion had settled among Jesus’ followers, Jesus did the unthinkable.

And he continues to do so with us.

When, in the first reading, the text says, “Rejoice heartily,” this is not merely the sense of family sentimentality around a holiday din-ner. It is not based on someone’s natural personality type. “Rejoicing” is the only proper response of the soul to the Father’s tender, powerful, and uniquely applied initiative in our lives, particularly in those complex realities that we face. When, in the Gospel, it says, “Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest,” the “rest” is not only a cessation of work responsibilities. This “rest” is not only a temporary relief from unresolved stress. The “rest” that is implied here is the recognition that the Father is in control. The “king shall come.” The “rest” implies, “We’re gonna get through this together. Let me show you how.”

Joy and struggle in this life are inseparable from each other. The conviction of deep personal faith remembers that “the Spirit of the one who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you … [and] will give life to your mortal bodies.” As I learn to let him resurrect me day after day from the false security of my worries, doubts, anxieties, fears, insecurities, addictive behaviors, and jealousies, the intensity of my joy increases as I follow his invitation to “Come to me” from the cave of sin and into the light of life and radiate this light towards oth-ers. The more I feel this resurrecting power active in my life through the action of the Holy Spirit, the more I want to come to this inex-haustible fountain of life and joy. Br. John Marmion Villa

PRAYER Lord, you invite the heavy-laden to come to you. We give you our sins and ask your mercy. We give you our fears and seek your courage. We give you our worries and beg your peace. May your Holy Spirit raise us from death to life. Amen.

EL SENOR HA REVELADO SUS MISTERIOS A LA GENTE SENCILLA El Señor Jesús no elogio a los “sabio y entendidos” según el mundo, sino a aquellas personas que se abren a sus enseñanzas con un corazón sencillo.. Esto no quiere decir que Jesús desee que quienes creemos en el nos quedemos en la ignorancia, sino todo lo contrario, el quiere que, guiados por el Espíritu Santo y siendo dóciles a las enseñanzas milenarias de la Iglesia, que es madre y maestra, conozcamos nuestra fe cada vez mejor. La Iglesia simplemente nos pide que acojamos lo que el Señor nos revela en la Sagrada Escritura, en la Tradición viva y en el Magisterio, sin pretender añadir ni quitar nada. Sera sencillo de corazón quien acoja el mensaje de salvación que Jesús confió a su Iglesia desde sus inicios, con la certeza de que Dios nunca abandona a su Iglesia cuando esta le es fiel. Los grandes pensadores de la Iglesia fueron dóciles a las enseñanzas de Jesús confiadas a su Iglesia. Imitemos su buen ejemplo, porque ellos han hecho mucho bien a la humanidad.
