PRAYER AND REFLECTION June 30, 2019 – 13th Sunday in Ordinary Time By Joan DeMerchant INTRODUCTION We are all called to follow Jesus is no surprise. This sacramentally-sealed call is operative for as long as we live. We also know that accepting it has implications we will only discover as we go. Today’s readings remind us that calls can be unexpected, demanding, even dangerous. But Paul assures us that freedom, love and the Spirit’s guidance are all part of it. Prayer of the Faithful Let us pray for all who are called to difficult journeys and tasks. For the church as it struggles with the meaning of discipleship in every age and especially for its call to accountability, transparency and reform at this time in history, we pray: • For those hesitant to engage in living the Gospel fully, who may be reluctant to let go of what is comfortable; and for a willingness to change, we pray: • For the courage to examine what love of neighbor really means in this divisive time, especially when we are called to love those with whom we disagree, those we fear, or those who have hurt us, we pray: • For all whose discipleship calls them into the public arena — who risk their reputations and lives or take difficult stands on behalf of the common good, we pray: • For those who follow the call to discipleship through caring for those in need, resisting injustice, or dealing kindly with difficult people, we pray: • For those in extreme poverty or danger, those with overwhelming medical or psychological problems, and those whose call to follow Jesus may consist of putting one foot before the other each day, we pray: • In gratitude for those who encourage us to look beyond ourselves and push beyond our limitations, without whom we might miss the Gospel call, we pray.

Presider Loving God, you created us for the love and freedom to

which Jesus calls us and the Spirit guides us. Grant us the desire

and courage to respond to whatever call is uniquely ours. We pray

in the name

HOLY FAMILY PARISH THIRTEENTH SUNDAY OF ORDINARY TIME

' Eu te seguirei para onde quer que fores.' 13º Dom Tempo Comum (Ano C): 1Reis 19, 16b.19-21; Sl 16(15); Gal. 5, 1.13-18; Lucas 9, 51-62 No evangelho de hoje, começa a caminhada de Jesus para Jerusalém, onde será elevado (v.51) através da morte na cruz. Jesus envia mensageiros à sua frente num povoado de samaritanos. Ele deseja que a Boa Notícia do Reino restabeleça a paz entre os povos. O seguimento a Jesus implica em viver com generosidade e entrega constante: Eu te seguirei para onde quer que fores (v.57). Como Jesus, que não tem lugar para reclinar a cabeça (v.58), é preciso confiar na graça de Deus. Quem se dispõe a seguir o projeto de Deus, recebe o convite de Jesus: Segue-me (v.59). A resposta ao chamado exige disponibilidade para servir com gratuidade. Ao dizer deixa que os mortos enterrem seus mortos (v.60), Jesus não coloca em questão os deveres da piedade familiar (cf.Tb 4,3), mas abre perspectivas novas para a missão. Os discípulos são chamados a permanecerem livres como Jesus, abertos para anunciarem o evangelho a todos os povos. Quem põe a mão no arado e olha para trás, não é apto para o Reino de Deus (v.62). Ao longo do ministério de Jesus, pessoas foram aderindo ao seu projeto de vida nova, plena. Algumas sentiram o chamado, mas deixaram-se envolver por outras preocupações. Jesus deixa claro que a prioridade maior deve ser o Reino de Deus. A adesão total à proposta de Jesus liberta e conduz a viver a lei suprema do amor.

Brazilian Confirmation Students 2019

Dear Lord,

This Independence Day, we thank you for our freedom. We thank you for the rights, opportunities, and happiness we enjoy every day as citizens of the United States.

We pray for the military men and women who serve our country, for we know that our freedom is not free. Like your son, Jesus Christ, who died to save all people from sin, these brave Americans sacrifice their lives so that all citizens of our country may live

without fear and oppression. We ask you to be with our nation's leaders. Guide them in their decision-making and empower them with the Holy Spirit's gifts of right-judgement and wisdom. May they always act in your grace, preserving the dignity of all humans

and moving this country along a path of compassion and peace. Bless this great nation, Dear God. We pray that, as citizens, we may follow the examples of the Americans who

founded this country 243 years ago and live always in courage and brotherhood. We pray this and all things, O God, in your name and in your love because we know all

things are possible with you. Amen.

<< Those who are called to the table of the Lord must glow with the brightness that comes from the good ex-ample of a praiseworthy and blameless life. Their up-right lives must make them like the salt of the earth for themselves and for the rest of humankind. >> ~ St. John of Capistrano
