Last week we started to read from St. Paul’s Letter to the Ephesians; we will continue to hear from Ephesians until the end of August. Ephesians is the great Pauline letter about the church. It deals, however, not so much with a congregation in the city of Ephesus in Asia Minor as with the worldwide church, the head of which is Christ, the purpose of which is to be the instrument for making God’s plan of salvation known throughout the universe. The language is often that of doxology and prayer, indeed of liturgy and hymns. In Today’s reading, St. Paul discusses that the salvation brought by Christ is meant not only for God’s chosen people, but for all people. Even the Old Testament prophets pointed to God’s intent for universal salvation. Guided by the Mosaic Law and by privileged knowledge of the one, true God, the people of Israel anticipated from ancient days the promised messiah. Now, Gentiles who were once far removed from these truths have been brought “near by the blood of Christ.” It was always God’s intent that salvation would be universally available; now, in Christ, the grace of salvation is, in fact, available to all, without consideration of race, gender, or even adherence to the Law of the old covenant. Christ came as the embodiment of “peace,” breaking down divisions and reconciling factions so we might become “one new person” – or better, one new humanity, rather than two. In his body, through his willing sacrifice, Christ reconciled Jews and non-Jew to God, the Father. The “enmity” that previously divided us was crucified with Christ on the cross. His death and Resurrection were a living sermon on peace for both Jew and Gentile. Christ preached less in word than in deed, and his sacrifice has given all who seek him equal access through the Spirit to our almighty and loving Father.
Removing the Dividing Wall (taken from Commentary On Today’s Second Reading)
Liturgy Corner by: Deborah Ferry
¡AMA CUANDO RECES, TRABAJES Y DESCANSES!
Los apóstoles volvieron a reunirse con Jesús y le contaron todo lo que habían hecho y enseñado. Entonces Jesús les dijo: “vengan conmigo a un hogar solitario, para que descansen un poco”, porque eran tantos los que iban y venían, que no les dejaban tiempo ni para comer. Jesús y sus apóstoles se dirigieron en una barca hacia un lugar apartado y tranquilo. La gente los vio irse y los reconoció; entonces de todos los poblados fueron corriendo por tierra a aquel sitio y se les adelantaron. Cuando Jesús desembarcó, vio una numerosa multitud que lo estaba esperando y se compadeció de ellos, porque andaban como ovejas sin pastor; y se puso a enseñarles con calma. (Mc. 6: 30-34)
¿Qué mérito tiene eso de enseñar con calma, cuando te encuentras agotado? Jesús afronta ese imprevisto con calma. Vemos la capacidad que tenia de no dejar de amar nunca. Y también vemos un gran equilibrio. Podemos darnos cuenta de lo importante que cada uno de nosotros somos para Dios. Y lo mucho que el Señor, ama respeta y protege.
¿Qué lección tenemos que sacar de aquí?:
Se me ocurre esa frase que se le atribuye a San Benito, Ora et Labora. Es decir, trabaja intensamente pero no descuides la oración, no descuides la espiritualidad, no descuides la motivación por la cual tienes que trabajar y no descuides tampoco el descanso.
Cuida tu alma con la oración, cuida tu cuerpo con el descanso y pon esas energías que has encontrado para el alma y para el cuerpo a funcionar, es decir, rinde, rinde con el trabajo. Ora et labora. ¡Reza y trabaja! Reza trabaja y descansa. Y siempre, siempre ama, ¡Ama cuando rezas!, ¡Ama cuando descansas!, y ¡Ama especialmente cuando trabajas! porque esa es la plasmación del amor. Lo que has recibido con la oración y con el descanso transmítelo a los demás como Amor a través del trabajo.
Propósito: Siempre AMA, cuando reces, trabajes y descanses. Pbro. Santiago Martin

Note From the Pastor:
Hello St. Lawrence Community! I have a request for you to look at and see if you might be able to assist one of our St. Lawrence School teachers with a request for the upcoming school year. Tim or Mr. Pingel as he is known, has been a pleasant add to our school and has become one of the students favorite teachers. If anyone is able to assist, please contact Tim directly or me at the parish office.
“My name is Tim Pingel and I will be a second year teacher at St. Lawrence Elementary and Middle School. I am currently halfway through a 2 year teaching program earning my Masters in Education at the University of Notre Dame under the ACE (Alliance for Catholic Education) program which specializes in forming teachers for Catholic Education. As a student in this program, I am not payed a regular salary for my work at St. Lawrence as I receive a stipend for food and utilities and am provided housing with four other ACE teachers as a community. My current predicament is my lack of a car to get to work next school as I am unable to buy one without a regular paycheck and my house mates work at schools in the opposite side of the diocese. I am looking to use a car for next school year whether that be through a loan/gift or sold for cheap. If you are able to help, please email me at [email protected]”

Sweet Summer Learning at SLEMS By: Kelly Flores
SLEMS has been filled with fun and learning all summer long! The classrooms have been vibrant, filled with colorful student work and descriptive essays, and the blacktops bouncing with physical education. Students entering 4th grade in Fall, have been spending their summer in a very sweet way. Led by teacher Miss Jacowitz, the class has been reading “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” by Roald Dahl, in a group setting. This timeless piece has been a fun adventure for the students, allowing a world of imagination and creativity to enhance their classroom. Student, Kyle Yumul said “The best part about this story is hearing the cool ideas! There is a chocolate fountain and a Candy forest!” The class will be ending their story excursion with a movie watch party at the end of Summer School next week.
