JESUS’ EXAMPLE OF HELPING OTHERS In today’s second reading Paul offers a wonderful argument to his converts at Corinth for seeking to help those in need. He is dealing with a practical problem, arranging a collection for the poor of the church of Jerusalem; but as he often does, he develops an important teaching about Jesus to make his point. After asking that they show their faith by generous gifts, he reminds them of the “gracious act of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, for your sake he became poor, so that by his poverty you might become rich” (2 Corinthians 8:9). In the Incarnation our Lord assumed our human nature, certainly becom-ing poor for one who is God. The ultimate gracious act of this poverty was going to the cross with all its terrible sufferings. By this act of poverty we definitely become rich. Now our sins can be forgiven; we can share in the very life of God through the sacraments; we can attain eternal salvation! Copyright © J. S.

Mass Intentions for the Week

EL EJEMPLO DE JESÚS DE AYUDAR A OTROS En la segunda lectura de hoy Pablo ofrece un argu-mento maravilloso a sus convertidos en Corinto para tratar de ayudar a los necesitados. Está tratando con un problema práctico, la organización de una colecta para los pobres de la iglesia de Jerusalén; pero, como hace a menudo, saca una importante lección acerca de Jesús para resaltar un punto. Después de pedirles que demostraran su fe con gener-osos donativos, les recuerda lo “generoso que ha sido nuestro Señor Jesucristo, que siendo rico, se hizo pobre por ustedes, para que ustedes se hicieran ricos con su pobreza” (2 Corintios 8:9). Con su encarnación nuestro Señor asumió nuestra naturaleza humana, sin duda haciéndose pobre para uno que es Dios. El últi-mo acto de gracia de esta pobreza fue subir a la cruz y sus terribles sufrimientos. Con este acto de pobreza sin duda nos hemos hecho ricos. Ahora nuestros pe-cados pueden ser perdonados; podemos compartir la vida de Dios por medio de los sacramentos; ¡podemos alcanzar la salvación eterna! Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

YEAR OF SAINT JOSEPH Dec.8, 2020 - Dec.8, 2021

“We wonder why the Gospel makes so little mention of St. Joseph. But did it not say everything when it taught us that he was the husband of Mary?” Blessed William Joseph Chaminade

GROW AS A DISCIPLE | PRAY, STUDY, ENGAGE, SERVE Thirteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time Wis 1:13-15; 2:23-24, 2 Cor 8:7, 9, 13-15, Mk 5:21-43 or 5:21-24, 35b-43 GROW: “Do not be afraid; just have faith.” It’s likely we’ve heard and seen Jesus’ reassuring words or even shared them with others. When I read the story of Jairus and his daughter, I thought of a man with whom I spoke recently. As his lungs failed him during a bout with coronavirus, doctors advised him to say good-bye to his wife and daughters before they placed him on a ventilator. “I was expecting to wake up in heaven,” he said, recalling the moment not as one of fear or panic, but of deep peace. In today’s Gospel passage, Jairus had that kind of “fearless faith” as well, placing his daughter’s life wholly in Jesus’ hands even as others in the crowd ridiculed him. When we pray or ask for God’s healing, we can’t know the outcome. But we can pray for the gifts of faith and courage, placing our lives in God’s loving hands. GO: When I was a child, my aunt would always encourage us to make the sign of the cross when we passed an ambulance or accident scene. In her concern for the strangers at the side of the road, my aunt was giving us a lesson in compassion, which stands in marked contrast to the crowds who ridiculed Jairus as he desperately sought help for his daughter. The Church has a rich tradition of intercessory prayer, encouraging us to pray for the needs of others. Today’s readings remind me that we can share our faith by praying for others who are sick, dying, griev-ing, or struggling in some way. Likewise, we can ask others to pray for us, trusting that God will hear our prayers. PRAY: Do you ever offer to pray for someone and then com-pletely forget? Try writing each person’s name on a Post-it and placing it on your bedside table. Other ideas: Pray the Rosary while driving or exercising, devoting a decade to each person; include prayers for others when you say Grace before meals; as soon as you offer to pray for someone, drop everything and do it!

We especially pray every Wednesday after the evening Mass during the Novena of Our Mother of Perpetual Help. Let us pray also for those whom God has called home recently especially Esther M. Peralta. As we mourn their passing, let us rejoice at their birth to eternal life. Please Note: This list will be updated on June 30th and every 90 days thereafter. We ask that you contact the Parish Office at 722-1231 if you would like for the name of your family member to remain on the “Pray for Sick List.“
