FROM FATHER CHUCK Happy Independence Day! This is such an important
day for our nation to step back and give thanks for the freedom we
enjoy as a people. It is a freedom that is, first and foremost,
granted to every human being by God. Sadly, we know that there are
millions of people in the world who do not live in the freedom
given to them by God. That is true even within parts of our own
country as human beings are trafficked, oppressed, and abused into
a fear that can paralyze them. Thus, we have lots of work to do,
within our country and throughout the world, to ensure that all
people can enjoy the same freedom. I believe it is also crucial for
us to remember on Independence Day that others lost their land and
freedom as our nation was being built. The indigenous peoples of
what would be called America were mostly overrun and Africans were
stolen and brought to the “New World” which often suspend- ed basic
human rights and thus, the law of God, in ignorance and in the name
of “progress.” I do not raise these things to make us feel guilty
or even responsible, but simply for us to be mindful that the
formation of our country was not without grave sin and that, as a
country, we owe a debt to remedy any remnant of the abuses that
occurred or that still hang on today. As a people of faith, we
ought to do our part to strive for this. As is said in one of our
Eucharistic Prayers, that the Church may “stand as a living witness
to truth and freedom, to peace and justice, that all people may be
raised up to a new hope.” Very importantly, this day we also lift
up in prayer all those who have given their lives to protect the
freedoms enshrined in our Constitution, from the Revolutionary War
to the present day and we seek to protect and preserve those in
military service by keeping our country’s motives and actions pure
and unblemished by blind power, self-interest or greed. May we
strive for and experience a deep healing in our nation that we may
be united in our gratitude for the independence and protec- tions
we know. “America, America, God mend thine every flaw, confirm they
soul in self-control, thy liberty in law.” I’m happy that we are
able to open up more of our pews this weekend. It’ll be nice to
accommo- date more people and will be less complicated for everyone
to find a seat. I want to stress once more the importance of
everyone being vaccinated. It is the only way we will be able to
remain opened. There are still people contracting COVID and it
appears, even with the variant, that the vast majority of people
getting sick have not been vaccinated. In Washoe County we are
still averaging about 20 cases a day. Those who are not vaccinated
can transmit the virus without knowing it. That is why we ask all
those not vaccinated to wear a mask, both for their own health and
the safety and health of our children under 12 and others who are
not able to be vaccinated. Also, we are maintain- ing the side
sections of the church at 6-feet social distancing, except for
those in the same house- hold. Thanks very much for your
cooperation. Let us all continue to pray for an end to this virus
among us and in our world, especially in those countries that are
still struggling terribly. Finally, I want to be sure to welcome
all our visitors on this holiday weekend. It is a joy to be able to
welcome visitors to our city and especially to our church again.
May your time among us be prayerful and visit to our area restful
and rejuvenating. BLESSINGS TO ALL THIS 14TH WEEK IN ORDINARY
TIME!
DEL PADRE CHUCK
¡Feliz Día de la Independencia! Este es un día muy importante para
nuestra nación, tomemos pues un momento para dar gracias por la
libertad que disfrutamos. Es una libertad que, ante todo, es
concedida a todo ser humano por Dios. Tristemente, sabemos que hay
millones de personas en el mundo que no viven en la libertad que
Dios les ha dado. Esto es cierto, incluso en algunas partes de
nuestro propio país, ya que seres humanos son objeto del tratado de
blancas, opresión y abuso hasta ser inculcados un miedo que los
paraliza. Por lo tanto, tenemos mucho trabajo por hacer, dentro de
nuestro país y en todo el mundo, para garantizar que todos podamos
disfrutar de la misma libertad.
Creo que también es crucial que recordemos en el Día de la
Independencia que otros perdieron su tierra y su libertad mientras
se construía nuestra nación. Los pueblos indígenas de lo que se
llamaría América, en su mayoría fueron invadidos, y los africanos
fueron robados y llevados al "Nuevo Mundo", que a menudo suspendía
sus derechos básicos y, por lo tanto, la ley de Dios, en la
ignorancia y en nom- bre del "progreso". No planteo estas cosas
para hacernos sentir culpables o incluso responsables, sino
simplemente para que seamos conscientes de que la formación de
nuestro país no estuvo exenta de graves pecados y que, como país,
tenemos una deuda para remediar cualquier remanente de los abu- sos
que ocurrieron o que aún se ciernen hoy en día. Como pueblo de fe
debemos hacer nuestra parte para luchar por esto. Como se dice en
una de nuestras oraciones Eucarísticas, para que la Iglesia pue- da
"ser testigo vivo de la verdad y la libertad, de la paz y la
justicia, para que todas las personas puedan ser elevadas a una
nueva esperanza".
Muy importante, este día también levantamos en oración a todos
aquellos que han dado su vida para proteger las libertades
consagradas en nuestra Constitución, desde la Guerra revolucionaria
hasta nuestros días y buscamos proteger y preservar a los que están
en el servicio militar, manteniendo los motivos y acciones de
nuestro país puros e intachables por el poder ciego, interés propio
o avaricia. Que nos esforcemos y experimentemos una sanación
profunda en nuestra nación para que podamos estar unidos en nuestra
gratitud por la independencia y las protecciones que conocemos.
"América, América, Dios repara cada defecto, confirma que tienen
alma en autocontrol, tu libertad en la ley".
Me complace que podamos abrir más de bancas este fin de semana.
Será agradable acomodar a más personas y será menos complicado
encontrar un asiento. Quiero subrayar una vez más la impor- tancia
de que todos se vacunen. Es la única manera de que podremos
permanecer abiertos. Todavía hay personas que contraen COVID y
parece, incluso con la variante, que la gran mayoría de las perso-
nas que se enferman no han sido vacunadas. En el condado de Washoe
se reportan en promedio unos 20 casos al día. Quienes no están
vacunados pueden transmitir el virus sin saberlo. Por eso pedimos a
todos los que no están vacunados que usen la mascarilla, tanto por
su propia salud como por la seguri- dad y salud de nuestros niños
menores de 12 años y de otros que no pueden vacunarse. Además, es-
tamos manteniendo las secciones laterales de la iglesia en 6-pies
de distanciamiento social, excepto para quienes viven en el mismo
hogar. Muchas gracias por su cooperación. Sigamos orando por el fin
de este virus, especialmente en aquellos países que todavía están
luchando terriblemente.
Por último, quiero asegurarme de dar la bienvenida a todos nuestros
visitantes en este fin de sema- na feriado. Es una alegría darles
la bienvenida a nuestra ciudad y especialmente a nuestra iglesia de
nuevo. Que su tiempo entre nosotros sea orante y puedan disfrutar
de un descanso y rejuvenecedor.
¡BENDICIONES A TODOS EN ESTA XIV SEMANA EN EL TIEMPO
ORDINARIO!

CESSATION OF DISPENSATION Brothers and sisters in Christ,
At the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic, I granted to all Catholics
in the Diocese of Reno a general dispensation from the obligation
of attending Sunday Mass. Since there has been a significant
decline in the number of cases, hospitalizations, and deaths due to
the novel Coronavirus in our region, and given the lifting of
mitigation re- strictions, this dispensation will cease on July 1,
2021.
I encourage all Catholics to return to the practice of in-person
participation in the Sunday Eucharist. The ex- perience of the
pandemic underscores the need for us to gather together physically
for worship and the sacra- ments.
The safety of all continues to be a priority as we gather. For this
reason, I encourage all to get vaccinated if they have not already
done so.
Some of the faithful cannot attend Mass in person due to illness or
other health issues. Obviously, they are not obligated to attend
Mass for this reason. They are asked to engage in appropriate
prayer in honor of the Lord’s Day.
In Christ,
Bishop Randolph R. Calvo
