Y et again in Ordinary Time, Jesus seems to de-
mand extraordinary commitment. A would-be
disciple enthusiastically volunteers to follow Je-
sus “wherever” (Luke 9:57). Jesus replies that
“wherever” means “nowhere to rest his head” (9:58).
To other candidates, Jesus brusquely denies reasonable
requests to fulfill family obligations (9:59, 61), declar-
ing that discipleship demands total commitment—now!
But Jesus also demands that we not judge how others
respond. When James and John volunteered to “call
down fire from heaven” (9:54) to destroy an unwelcom-
ing town, Jesus “turned and rebuked them” (9:55). All
violence of any kind is completely unacceptable among
Jesus’ disciples, a lesson this Jubilee Year of Mercy is
teaching the Christian community once again. Paul’s
challenge to the Galatians and us reinforces Jesus’ deci-
sive command to James and John that they express their
commitment to him through compassion for others. We
must abandon the violence of “biting and devouring
one another” (Galatians 5:15), choosing instead to
“serve one another through love” (5:13).
- Peter Scagnelli
E n este, un domingo más del Tiempo Ordinario,
parece que Jesús exige un compromiso extraor-
dinario. Un aspirante entusiasmado a ser discí-
pulo se ofrece de voluntario para seguir a Jesús “a don-
de sea” (Lucas 9:57). Jesús le contesta que “a donde
sea” significa “no tener donde recostar la cabe-
za” (9:58). A otros aspirantes, Jesús bruscamente niega
sus peticiones para seguirlo pues les antepone razona-
blemente sus responsabilidades y obligaciones familia-
res (9:59, 61), expresando que ahora ser discípulo exige
compromiso completo. Pero Jesús también exige que
no juzguemos cómo responden otras personas. Cuando
Santiago y Juan se ofrecen para “hacer caer fuego del
cielo” (9:54) para destruir una ciudad que no los reci-
bió, Jesús “los reprende” (9:55). Cualquier tipo de vio-
lencia es completamente inaceptable entre los discípu-
los de Jesús, una lección este Año Jubilar de la Miseri-
cordia es enseñar una vez más a la comunidad cristiana.
El desafío de Pablo a los gálatas y a nosotros refuerza
el mandamiento decisivo de Jesús a Santiago y Juan
que ellos expresaran su compromiso hacia los demás
con compasión. Debemos dejar de ser violentos y dejar
“comernos y devorarnos unos a otros” (Gálatas 5:15),
eligiendo en su lugar “servir uno al otro por medio del

O ur readings today talk to us of discipleship and what it means to follow Jesus. We have heard all these things before, but
maybe today Christ is saying something special to you. Does it ever strike you how we hear the same readings every three years and yet they can hear something special each time we hear them? That is the power of the WORD. Discipleship is something we choose each day. St. Francis de Sales asks us to give God "this" day, to offer God the good we will do or accept the difficulty we might encounter today. Follow Jesus resolutely. Live your commitment to him now, not "later", not "after", not "until". His Spirit will help you face any difficulty that comes your way.
Have a blessed week,
Sr. Karen Collier

L as lecturas del día de hoy nos hablan de qué significa ser discípulos de Jesús. Ya hemos escuchado esto antes, pero a lo mejor hoy
Cristo te está diciendo algo especial a ti. ¿Has pensado de cómo escuchamos las mismas lecturas cada tres años y cada vez escuchas algo especial en ellas? Ese es el poder de la PALABRA.
El discipulado es algo que elegimos cada día. San Francisco de Sales nos pide a que ofrezcamos “este” día a Dios, ofrecer cada acto bueno que hacemos y cada dificultad que podamos tener. Sigue a Jesús a toda medida. Vive tu compromiso a Jesús el día
de hoy, no lo dejas para “mañana” ni para “después,” hazlo ahora. Su Espíritu estará contigo para vencer cualquier dificultad.
Que tengan una semana bonita,
Hermana Karen Collier

EVERYTHING BUT
EVERYBODY CAN DO
SOMETHING."
Thank you for the donation of
men's clothing, shoes, sneakers
and toiletries for Father's Day.
The men were very pleased
with the special hot meal served
just to them, the gift bag filled
with tee shirts and toiletries
and clothing. We could tell they
had a wonderful day by the
smiles and heart warming facial
expressions. Your thoughtful-
ness made a huge difference for
our men guests. Amen.
Today we will be in the Placita
Area with a keepsake book and
banner for you to write Birthday
Wishes for Annie "Laura"
Banks's 100th Birthday. On July
12 20016 Annie will celebrate
her 100th Birthday. Sunday July
10, 2016 all are invited when
the church will honor and cele-
brate Annie at the 8:30 AM
mass followed by a reception in
the Placita area. (the banner will
be on display then) Annie was
born in Los Angeles California
and is a Jefferson High School
class of 1933 graduate.
( Jefferson Graduates can wear
where their school colors if they
want). Annie is still an active
participant with her sister Vergie
Fixico and Vergie's daughters
each week at the 8:30AM
mass. Yep she climbs the entry
steps on Adams and then uses
her walker to the pew.
Thank you reaching out to en-
sure that our Saturday children
have cereal and sandwich mak-
ings during the week while they
are on summer break. It is a wel-
comed blessings for our families
with children. The wagon will
be out each Sunday near the
rectory side entry to the church
for your donations of cereal,
peanut butter and jelly and any
other addition that you would
like to add. If you can catch
school supplies on sale they can
also be placed in the wagons.
Please this week attempt to let
the God in you light your path
and lead your way The God in
you can lead you to have no fear
or reluctance in reaching out to
pass on blessings to those you
meet. You will be comfortable
in greeting others with a smile,
how ya doing and kindness
maybe even a hug. You will
look through God's eyes and not
see or judge a person because
they don't look like you, speak
like you or run in the same circle
as you, they too like you are a
child of God and want not to be
judged or cast aside and looked
down on. Family the " Golden
Rule" is so important to think
about and lean on. Try , this
week as your God work
assignment to see what kind
of impact and imprints your
kindness can make on someone's
life.
Continue to be blessed and be a
blessing as you join forces
with other prayer warriors in
asking God to provide us with
unity and peace for ALL every-
where on this earth.
Blessings,
The
