Many years ago, there was a very popular Christian poster that did nothing but list names for God from the scriptures. While it included powerful names like “Lion of Judah” and “Wonderful Counselor,” as a whole it was a sharp contrast to the simple and beautiful images present in our scriptures today. The prophet Zechariah prefigures the Christ coming in meekly and mildly on an ass—the vision we might have of Palm Sunday. In Romans Saint Paul reveals to us our truer selves, calling us to embrace the Spirit of Christ, put aside our fleshly beings, and live more fully in Christ. In the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus bypasses the learned, and God reveals things to the childlike. We are presented with a simple, straightforward approach to God, and to finding God. OUR COMPLICATED LIVES We live in an age and a society that has never been more educated or had a higher standard of living, yet never have we carried as much debt. Many are living beyond their means. We have so many resources and time-saving devices at our hands, yet our lives are more complex than ever. While many people may not engage in extreme manual labor we rarely escape our jobs. Many are connected through phones and constantly receive calls, texts, and emails. Others spend hours in traffic on their daily commutes or pack on the frequent flyer miles. We spend hours binge-watching our favorite shows. Many children are accustomed to being in front of a screen all the time and no longer know how to play creatively. The statistics for those who continue to leave the Church and all forms of organized religion also continue to rise. While there is no such thing as a “good old days” to return to, there was something to be said for sleeping soundly after putting in a good day’s work, and for a family gathering around the table for a shared meal. For many, this model for Eucharist rarely exists. Jesus knows and feels our pains, and calls out, “Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest.” IT’S NOT ROCKET SCIENCE So how do we declutter? Downsize? Devote ourselves again to Christ and live out our gospel calling? Sign up for a liturgical ministry, or volunteer to help with a religion program. Join a small faith group. Volunteer at a food pantry or Habitat for Humanity. Become involved as an individual, or a family. Meanwhile, back at the house, make a commitment to go through one drawer a day, and take things to your local St. Vinnie’s or secondhand store. Remember meal and bedtime prayers. Find a minute to read the daily scriptures. Take many baby steps. It’s not rocket science. It is a continual commitment to bring ourselves as we are, and to respond to Jesus’ call to “Come.” Today’s Readings: Zec 9:9–10; Ps 145:1–2, 8–9, 10–11, 13–14; Rom 8:9, 11–13; Mt 11:25–30 Copyright © J.

A note about next school year At this time, it is not clear what format of school will open on August 19. At SJC we are preparing for three scenarios. It is very likely that we might not know which scenario to implement until

August. One option is that we return to school with minor modifications to include social distancing protocols that don’t interrupt with the flow of the school day. That is, pick up time and drop off times would remain the same and we would not be limited to the number of students in the classroom from the Santa Clara County Public Health Department (SCCPHD). This scenario is unlikely, but we hope it’s a possibility as we return to normal. The second option is to continue the distance learning protocol that we started on March 13. In reviewing our current distance learning protocol, we have identified opportunities to further enhance distance learning for the fall and plan to make those changes this summer. Our final option is a modified school structure to meet the requirements of the SCCPHD. This might include staggered start times, staggered days, class size limitations, hybrid in-person and distance learning curriculum. We are also planning for this scenario, not only as a school, but as a diocese. We realize that there is a lot of uncertainty, but as we get more information, we will share that information. . For the families with preschool students, please note that we also have the additional requirements from the Community Care Licensing that we will comply with which might supersede some of the requirements for the elementary school. With any option, SJC remains committed to providing a safe and positive learning environment for our students!

ST. JOSEPH OF CUPERTINO PARISH SCHOOL BACK TO SCHOOL UPDATE

PRAYER FOR SPIRITUAL COMMUNION Prayer for Spiritual Communion is used in preparation for Communion or

when you cannot receive Communion. My Jesus, I believe that You are present in the Most Holy Sacrament. I love You above all things, and desire to receive You into my soul. Since I cannot at this moment receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace You as if You were already there and unite myself wholly to You. Never permit me to be separated from You. Amen FOOD FOR THOUGHT: What does “freedom” mean to you? How is it related to “responsibility”? SCRIPTURE VERSE: As a prisoner for the Lord, then I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received. Be completely humble and gentle, be patient, bearing with one another in love. Ephesians 4:1-2 POPE FRANCIS: “Real understanding encompasses multiple dimensions of faith, spirituality, and values.”

Stewardship at St. Joseph of Cuper no

“Let all your works give You thanks, O Lord, and let Your faithful ones bless You,” says the psalmist. Stewardship is this “attitude of gratitude” for the many gifts God has given us. How do we show our gratitude?

Stewardship Prayer

Rev. Gregory Kimm, 2009 God rich in kindness and generous in love, You call us to be your people, a church, a community of faith. You have entrusted St. Joseph of Cuper no Parish to our care. Help us to be good stewards, always worthy of your trust. As you are a en ve to the needs of each of us, Enable us to be a en ve to the needs of our parish, using the gi s you have given us not just for our own good, but for the good of all. We ask this in the name of Jesus, our Brother, and in the Spirit, who makes us one. Amen!

SAINT MARIA GORETTI (1890-1902)- July 6 Does anything match a mother’s pride in her children? First Communions, confirmations, graduations, weddings: how these delight a mother’s heart! Imagine, then, Assunta Goretti, the only mother ever to attend her child’s canonization! In poverty-stricken rural Italy, widowed Assunta tended fields for the Serenelli family, whose eighteen-year-old son, Alessandro, propositioned her barely twelve-year-old Maria; then, when she resisted, crying, “It is a sin! God forbids it!” he stabbed her fourteen times. As she lay dying, Maria assured the attending priest, “Yes, I forgive Alessandro! I want him to be in Paradise with me someday.” Imprisoned, unrepentant, Alessandro changed after dreaming that a radiant Maria had offered him fourteen lilies. “I’ve kept my promise,” she smiled. “You’ll be here with me someday.” Upon release, he rushed to beg Assunta’s forgiveness. “Jesus has forgiven you,” she replied, “my Maria, too. How can I refuse?” Next morning, mother and murderer walked arm in arm to church and knelt side by side for Communion. —Peter Scagnelli, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
