Fifteenth Sunday in Ordinary TimeJuly 15, 2018

Truth shall spring out of the earth,and justice shall look down from heaven.

— Psalm 85:12

CALLED BY GODToday’s scriptures invite us to listen to two calls.

The first is the call issued by the LORD to the prophet Amos, the “shepherd and a dresser of sycamores” (Amos 7:14). The second is the call the Lord Jesus issued to the Twelve, whom he sent out “two by two” (Mark 6:7). These faithful people responded to the call, prophesying and preaching to the people to whom they had been sent. Each of us received a call when we were baptized. The second reading invites us to ponder that call as we are reminded that we are chosen in Christ and that, in love, God “destined us for adoption” (Ephesians 1:5). As adopted daughters and sons of God we are called to bring the presence of Christ into our marriages, families, schools, and places of work. Let us be inspired today to say yes to the call we hear once again through God’s living word.

Question of the WeekWhen I feel ill-equipped for the journey, do I trust

that God will provide what I need?

A MAGICAL EFFECT

Patience and perseverance have a magical effect before which difficulties disappear and obstacles vanish.

Pastor’s Note 15th Sunday in Ordinary Time Yr. B

July 15, 2018

This Sunday’s reading are three rules of the Lord for our spiritual journey. These rules apply to the missionary works of the Lord’s disicples but they apply really to every Christian’s journey and to every Christian’s life. First, we have “only” the walking stick, no food, no traveling bag, and not even money. The Lord knows we would need something to lean on. The walking stick would help us keep the balance. That balance is a trust in God’s providence. We all need to trust in God’s will. Secondly, the Lord is sending us two by two. We could go alone and we can reach more places alone but he tells us to go two by two for obvious reason, that they need each other. We need each other either in our team works, such as husband and wife, friends,partners, associates and companions. Our missionary tasks are done better with the help of other people We cannot live alone. Thirdly, is to shake the dust from our feet of a town that will not accept our good intentions and to move on. We must never be paralyzed by failures. Nobody has a 100% success rate in his or her missionary work. In our daily life , if we let dust accumulate, in can get into the pores of our skin, make us sick, immobilize us, fill our lungs. If we let the dust accumulate in the corners of our life it can color everything we do, sooner or later it can immobilize us when we say, “what’s the use?” As missionaries of God’s goodness, we need to trust God, we must never be discouraged by failures, and we must work with others and not alone. Let us reflect of this questions:

Who am I?What am I here for?What matters most?What matters least?

God bless us.

Arnold Helping HandsWe want to thank many parishioners who generously contribute their time, talent and treasure to Our Lady of the Sierra Helping Hands program. We are open every Tuesday (weather permitting) 9:30am to 10:00am. We serve several homeless individuals, many families, and seniors from our food pantry. We also have a closet with clothes for infants, children of all sizes and adults (men and women) of all sizes. We gratefully accept donations of non-perishable foods (especially cereal and peanut butter), personal items, and cleaning products.

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITIONAt the time of the Reformation, although

England broke away from papal authority under Henry VIII, a silent majority clung to the Catholic faith. Henry’s eldest daughter, Mary, restored the “old religion” in a fierce persecution of Protestants (she is called “Bloody Mary” for good reason.) His youngest daughter, Elizabeth, rejected papal ties. Under her reign, beginning with legislation in 1593, Catholics were persecuted again, and only the very wealthy could afford the fines for not attending Anglican services on Sunday. They were called “recusants,” from a Latin word meaning “refuse,” since they refused to attend the liturgy of the Church of England. Many families maintained Catholic tradition in secret, and today their descendants claim “Recusancy” as a mark of family pride. For generations they sent their young people abroad to be educated in convents and monasteries. It is not surprising that the first monastery in colonial America springs from Holland with the daughters of patrician English recusant families. Port Tobacco, Maryland, proved fruitful soil for the Carmelite

tradition.

SacramentEvery Friday

8:30am - 4:00pmEvening Prayer/Benediction 4:00 p.m. "Our communal worship at Mass must go together
