~ Pastor’s Column ~ The readings of the Thirteenth Sunday are about God’s call and man’s commitment in answer to that call. They ask for total commitment in total freedom with the spirit of patient love, saying an unconditional “Yes” to Jesus and to the Christian life as a true disciples of Christ. The first reading describes how Elisha committed himself whole-heartedly to answer God’s call to be a prophet, in spite of his initial hesitation when God called him through the prophet Elijah. The Responsorial Psalm, (Psalm 16), offers us the refrain, “You are my inheritance, O Lord". This Psalm has traditionally been used to exemplify commitment to the ordained ministry or to religious profession. But it more accurately reflects the commitment made by all Christians in their Baptism. The second reading, taken from Paul's letter to the Galatians, reinforces the commitment message of the first reading and the Responsorial Psalm; Paul warns that true freedom is not meant to be a license for self-indulgence, but as a way to show God and human beings our commitment to God and to His service. The first part of the Gospel is Jesus’ teaching on Christian tolerance, given after he had observed the angry response of two of his apostles. James and John were angry and asked Jesus to destroy the Samaritans by bringing down fire from Heaven when they refused to receive Jesus as a prophet and give him hospitality as he travelled through Samaria to Jerusalem. In the second part of the Gospel, Luke introduces three potential disciples who offered lame reasons that made Jesus’ call to ministry “impossible” for them to accept, after Jesus had told them plainly what the commitment required and the cost involved. They were found unfit and unprepared to follow Jesus as his disciples. We too, are asked to follow Jesus, totally and immediately, without any reservation both by giving priority to him and to his cause and by surrendering our lives to God in humble and dedicated service to others. As Christians, we should have the courage of our convictions to honor our commitments: marriage commitment and the priestly and religious commitment and the Christian commitment.

The people of Africa are joyous and faith-filled, but they also often face challenges due to poverty, the high incidence of disease, food shortages, and migration. The Church in Africa journeys with people gifted with a vibrant spirituality and is a source of hope and faith. The Solidarity Fund for the Church in Africa supports pastoral projects that foster lasting peace and reconciliation in a continent often marked by division and tension. Pope Francis challenges us: “Touched by Christ’s infinite mercy, may all the faithful be signs of the reconciliation, justice and peace that God wills for . . . all of Africa” (April 16, 2015). Despite the vast number of valuable natural resources, the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) is one of the world’s poorest countries. Many do not have access to clean drinking water and proper sanitation, or to basic social services, such as education or health care. The illiteracy rate in the country is high and especially affects women. In addition, many migrants and war refugees immigrate to the DRC, straining already sparse resources. Through a grant from the Solidarity Fund for the Church in Africa (SFCA), the Naomi Center in Kisantu can provide more vocational training and faith formation for young migrants and illiterate mothers. Kisantu has a high population of migrants and war refugees from bordering countries, and so the center works to create opportunities for young mothers as well as vulnerable migrants to increase literacy and develop human values that offer hope for a dignified life. With the additional funding from SFCA, the Naomi Center will offer courses in literacy, sewing, and life skills to bolster self-esteem and job expertise for 140 women. With your help, the Church in Africa can continue to play an active role in the pastoral care of migrants and refugees. Organizations like the Naomi Center care for the needs of the African people. Please give generously to the Solidarity Fund for the Church in Africa.
13er. Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario
“Elías partió luego y encontró a Eliseo”
Las lecturas de hoy nos hablan de escogencia y de seguimiento a Dios, y de la respuesta que El espera de nosotros. La primera lectura nos habla de la escogencia y consagración del Profeta Eliseo por parte del Profeta Elías. Eliseo dejó sus posesiones. Sólo pidió despedirse de sus padres e inmediatamente siguió a Elías. Notemos que los afectos familiares están presentes, pero Dios tiene derecho de pedir a cualquiera de nosotros que dejemos todo para seguir su llamado. En la segunda lectura San Pablo nos habla de la libertad. “Cristo nos ha liberado, para que seamos libres”. Sí. Cristo nos liberó del secuestro en que nos tenía el demonio. Después de la re-dención de Cristo somos libres del pecado y de la muerte en que nos tenía Satanás. Por eso San Pablo nos advierte de que no volvamos a caer en lo mismo. “No se sometan de nuevo”. Nuestra vocación, nos dice el apóstol, “es la libertad”. En el evangelio vemos a Jesús “tomando la firme determinación de emprender viaje a Jerusalén, cuando ya se acercaba el tiempo en que tenía que salir de este mundo”. Sabía que allí sería juzgado injustamente, para luego morir crucifica-do. Y, con "firme determinación”, siguió el camino hacia su inmolación en la cruz. En la ruta se presenta un inconveniente con los samaritanos, quienes no quisieron recibirlo. Para ir a Jerusalén tenía que pasar por Samaria, pero samaritanos y judíos se despreciaban mutua-mente. Santiago y Juan quieren hacer un mal uso del poder de Dios. “¿Quieres que hagamos bajar fuego del cielo para que acabe con ellos”? Jesús, por supuesto, los reprende. Y decide hospedarse en otra aldea.
La próxima semana, nuestra parroquia realizará una colecta para el Fondo de Solidaridad para la Iglesia en África. Aunque la Iglesia en África está creciendo, muchos aun no tienen acceso a recursos básicos ni a un cuidado pastoral. Muchos sufren debido a la alta tasa de pobreza y desempleo, al analfabetismo y a una educación deficiente. El Fondo de Solidaridad para la Iglesia en África apoya proyectos pastorales que promueven la paz duradera y la reconciliación en un continente que, a menudo, está marcado por divisiones y tensiones.
Tanto Amó Dios al Mundo que envió a su unigénito Hijo para que todo el que crea en él no se pierda, sino que tenga Vida eterna. (Juan 3-16)
El grupo de oración Jesús esta Vivo les invitan a la Misa de Sanación que se llevara a cabo el Sábado 2 Julio, a las 7:00 pm. Tendremos como invitado especial al Padre Antonio Astudillo.
La Parroquia San Juan Evangelista/Nuestra Señora del Monte Carmelo invitan a toda la comunidad parroquial a la venta de comida Peruana que se llevara a cabo el Domingo 10 de Julio de 11 a 3 de la tarde en el auditorio.
