A PERSONAL RESPONSE OF FAITH Today’s Gospel starts with a conversation with which Jesus begins his journey to Jerusalem—and the cross. As his followers, we strive to march with him, even to the cross. Paul’s Letter to the Galatians tells us that we who have been baptized have “clothed” ourselves with Christ. Being one with Christ, we must no longer discriminate according to nationality or race, according to social status, according to gender. The prophet Zechariah, centuries before anyone heard of Jesus, spoke of how the people find God’s message uncomfortable, and so turn against the messengers. Later, though, the people awaken to the realization of what they have done and are moved to repentance. Thus, they are always welcomed back by God, who always gives us grace to do the right thing, however difficult it may be.

SỰ TỎ BÀY ĐỨC TIN CÁ NHÂN Phúc Âm hôm nay bắt đầu với cuộc đàm đạo mà từ đó Chúa Giê-su khởi sự cuộc hành trình của Ngài lên Giêrusalem---và cây thập giá. Như các môn đệ của Chúa, chúng ta cùng đi với Ngài, ngay cả đi đến cây thập giá. Thơ của Thánh Phao-lô gởi tín hữu Ga-lát nói với chúng ta rằng chúng ta đã được chịu phép rửa tội là “đã được mặc lấy” Đức Kitô. Được nên một với Đức Kitô, chúng ta chẳng còn phải phân biệt đối xử nữa theo quốc tịch hay nòi giống, theo đẳng cấp xã hội hoặc giới tính. Tiên tri Giacaria, nhiều thế kỷ trước khi có người nghe đến Chúa Giê-su, đã nói họ thấy sứ điệp của Thiên Chúa bực bội làm sao, và do vậy quay lại chống các ngôn sứ. Sau này, dẫu vậy, họ đã nhận thức ra điều họ đã làm và đã quay lại sám hối. Vì thế, họ luôn được Thiên Chúa đón nhận họ trở về, Thiên Chúa luôn ban cho chúng ta ơn huệ hầu chúng ta làm việc lành, dù khó khăn đến mấy.

RESPUESTA PERSONAL DE FE Después de pasar la Cuaresma, la Pascua y los días posteriores a esta fiesta, entramos de nuevo en el Tiempo Ordinario. Este año las lecturas del Evangelio son tomadas de san Lucas, comenzando hoy con una conversación con la que Jesús comienza su camino a Jerusalén –y a la cruz. Como seguidores suyos, procuramos marchar con él, incuso hasta la cruz. La carta de Pablo a los gálatas nos dice que nosotros los bautizados debemos “revestirnos” de Cristo. Al ser uno con Cristo, no debemos hacer discriminaciones de raza, nacionalidad, clases social o género. El profeta Zacarías, muchos siglos antes de que nadie oyera hablar de Jesús, explicaba cómo el pueblo iba a rechazar el mensaje de Dios, encontrándolo incómodo, y se volverían contra los mensajeros. Sin embargo, luego la gente se daría cuenta de lo que habían hecho y se arrepentirían. Y Dios los acogería de nuevo, pues siempre nos concede la gracia para hacer lo correcto, sin importar lo difícil que sea.

Jesus tells us to follow Him. We must take up what is given to us, our cross, and follow. In the Eucharist we will find the strength to do good and avoid evil. Share the faith by serving the needs of others and then yourself. Be open to loving and forgiving. Avoid the temptation to stop praying; instead, pray daily. Your Faith in Jesus will be rewarded with eternal life with Him and our Heavenly Father. TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION Processions are life’s journey distilled. We move with companions, aware that Christ accompanies us, as we move to the altar for Communion or to the font for baptism, or carry a loved one to a place of rest. In Europe, the season of pilgrimage is beginning now, and tens of thousands of people are moving by foot on well-worn paths. Some take as long as six weeks to walk the last few hundred miles of the medieval pilgrimage route to the Shrine of St. James the Apostle in Compostella, in northern Spain. Those who make the journey by foot, hiking, or by bicycle, have a kind of passport stamped at villages and monasteries on the road. When they present this document at the cathedral, they are given the emblem of a pilgrim, the scallop shell of St. James. High over their heads at Mass, a huge botafumero twirls clouds of sweet incense through the cathedral. Cynics say it is to mask the odor of smelly feet. The pilgrims know better. Seeing through the clouds the happy faces of those they met along the road, they recognize a foretaste of the welcome into heaven, and the joy of meeting loved ones in the Kingdom of God. —James Field, Copyright © J.

TODAY’S READINGS First Reading — Zechariah foretells the Messiah (Zechariah 12:10-11; 13:1). Psalm — My soul is thirsting for you, O Lord my God (Psalm 63). Second Reading — There are no distinctions or divisions; we all belong to Christ (Galatians 3:26-29). Gospel — Peter proclaims Jesus as the Christ; Jesus speaks of his great suffering to come (Luke 9:18-24).

We offere a BIG THANK YOU to Norma Gallegos for returning $500 of her prize money to the parish! WHO DO YOU SAY? In today’s Gospel Jesus asks his disciples, “Who do you say that I am?” (Luke 9:20). Only Peter has the courage to state outright that Jesus is the Messiah—the anointed one—of God. Jesus’ question is one that we have to answer at some point for ourselves if we are to truly live as his disciples today. It is easy to avoid a direct answer, to rely on what someone else has said about Jesus, or just to follow the rules and say the right prayers for years on end, without ever stopping to face this question squarely. Marianne lives in a small-town parish. She says she never thought this question was for her until one day it came up in a Bible study group. “I’d read or heard this passage so many times before, but on this particular day it was as if I were hearing it for the very first time. As I drove home, I knew deep in my heart that I had to acknowledge Jesus as the one whom God had sent into this world for me.” And, she continued, “I knew that if I accepted Jesus as the Lord of my life, there would be consequences!” This started Marianne on a new path. She found a wise and experienced spiritual director and began reviewing her life. “I used to tease one of my friends who wore a ‘What would Jesus do?’ bracelet,” she said, “but suddenly I knew that this is a question that I’ll be asking myself all the time now.” Her life’s challenges haven’t vanished overnight: Marianne cares for her elderly mother and copes with diabetes, but she says, “I trust in God much more these days, and God’s blessing is that I’m so much more openhearted and openhanded with other people than ever before.” Copyright © 2009, World Library Publications.

XII Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario Jesús nos dice que debemos seguirlo. Debemos tomar lo que se nos ha dado, nuestra cruz y seguirlo. En la Eucaristía encontramos la fuerza para hacer el bien y evitar el mal. Comparta la fe sirviendo a las necesidades de los demás y uno mismo. Esté abierto a amar y perdonar. Evite la tentación de dejar de orar, sino ore diariamente. Su fe en Jesús será recompensada con la vida eterna con Él y con nuestro Padre Celestial. SEGÚN USTEDES, ¿QUIÉN SOY YO? Jesús le pregunta a sus discípulos: “Según ustedes, ¿quién soy yo?” (Lucas 9:20). Pedro responde que Jesús es el Mesías, el ungido de Dios. La pregunta de Jesús también la debemos contestar nosotros si hemos de vivir como discípulos suyos. Es fácil evadir una respuesta directa, conformarnos con cumplir las reglas y decir las oraciones correctas sin confrontar esa pregunta. Mariana vive en un pueblo pequeño. “He oído este pasaje muchas veces, pero un día durante un estudio bíblico en la parroquia fue como si lo escuchara por primera vez. Manejando de regreso a casa, caí en cuenta de que Jesús es el enviado de Dios para mí. ¡Y sabía que esto me iba a traer consecuencias! Ya no me iba a reír más de mi amiga con su brazalete con la inscripción, ‘¿Qué haría Jesús?’, pues yo misma me estaré haciendo esa pregunta todo el tiempo”, dice Mariana. Los desafíos continúan para Mariana, ya que aparte de sufrir de diabetes cuida también de su mamá anciana. Pero dice ella: “Ahora confío más en Dios y estoy más abierta que nunca a los demás”.

Evangelio — Los que quieren seguir a Cristo tendrán que negarse a sí mismos y tomar su Cruz (Lucas 9:1824).

23 de junio de 2013 TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE Según san Mateo, una noche mientras los discípulos estaban en la barca de Pedro, Jesús vino hacía ellos caminando sobre el mar. Ellos se espantaron creyendo que era un fantasma de algún pescador pero él los calmó diciendo “¡Ánimo!, que soy yo; no teman”. Debió ser impactante ver al Señor caminar sobre las aguas, especialmente en una época donde las aguas venían consideradas como el caos. En varias partes de latinoamérica los fieles celebran a distintos santos con procesiones de barcos sobre ríos o mares. En el Puerto de Paita, Perú se llevan a los santos Pedro y Pablo en una procesión acuática. San Pedro, que fue pescador, está en casa sobre la barca, ya que normalmente son barcas de pescadores las que forman la procesión. Esta procesión reconoce el caos del mar reconociendo a los pescadores, que durante el año perdieron sus vidas en el mar, con guirnaldas lanzadas a la bahía. Pero, esta procesión no se espanta del mar ya que es una fiesta en honor de dos siervos de aquel que camina sobre las aguas, dominando el mar. —Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, © Copyright, J. S.
