"...Tu fe te ha curado.

Vete en paz y queda sana de tu enfermedad”.

Marcos 5:34

Thirteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time

“...Your faith has saved you.

Go in peace and be cured of your affliction.”

Mark 5:34

WWW.OLAVENTURA.COM • (805) 642.7966 OUR LADY OF THE ASSUMPTION CATHOLIC CHURCH 2

When Jesus had crossed again in the boat to the other side, a

large crowd gathered around him, and he stayed close to the sea.

One of the synagogue officials, named Jairus, came forward.

Seeing him he fell at his feet and pleaded earnestly with him,

saying, “My daughter is at the point of death. Please, come lay

your hands on her that she may get well and live.” He went off

with him, and a large crowd followed him and pressed upon him.

There was a woman afflicted with hemorrhages for twelve years.

She had suffered greatly at the hands of many doctors and had

spent all that she had. Yet she was not helped but only grew

worse. She had heard about Jesus and came up behind him in the

crowd and touched his cloak. She said, “If I but touch his clothes, I

shall be cured.” Immediately her flow of blood dried up. She felt in

her body that she was healed of her affliction. Jesus, aware at

once that power had gone out from him, turned around in the

crowd and asked, “Who has touched my clothes?” But his disciples

said to Jesus, “You see how the crowd is pressing upon you, and

yet you ask, ‘Who touched me?’” And he looked around to see who

had done it. The woman, realizing what had happened to her,

approached in fear and trembling. She fell down before Jesus and

told him the whole truth. He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has

saved you. Go in peace and be cured of your affliction.”

While he was still speaking, people from the synagogue official’s

house arrived and said, “Your daughter has died; why trouble the

teacher any longer?” Disregarding the message that was reported,

Jesus said to the synagogue official, “Do not be afraid; just have

faith.” He did not allow anyone to accompany him inside except

Peter, James, and John, the brother of James. When they arrived at

the house of the synagogue official, he caught sight of a

commotion, people weeping and wailing loudly. So he went in and

said to them, “Why this commotion and weeping? The child is not

dead but asleep.” And they ridiculed him. Then he put them all

out. He took along the child’s father and mother and those who

were with him and entered the room where the child was. He

took the child by the hand and said to her, “Talitha koum,” which

means, “Little girl, I say to you, arise!” The girl, a child of twelve,

arose immediately and walked around. At that they were utterly

astounded. He gave strict orders that no one should know this

and said that she should be given something to eat.

The Gospel of the Lord. Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.

Mark 5:21-43 or 5:21-24, 35b-43

Brothers and sisters:

As you excel in every respect, in faith, discourse, knowledge, all

earnestness, and in the love we have for you, may you excel in

this gracious act also.

For you know the gracious act of our Lord Jesus Christ, that

though he was rich, for your sake he became poor, so that by

his poverty you might become rich.

Not that others should have relief while you are burdened, but

that as a matter of equality your abundance at the present

time should supply their needs, so that their abundance may

also supply your needs, that there may be equality.

As it is written: Whoever had much did not have more, and

whoever had little did not have less.

The Word of the Lord. Thanks be to God.

2 Corinthians 8:7, 9, 13-15

God did not make death,

nor does he rejoice in the destruction of the living.

For he fashioned all things that they might have being;

and the creatures of the world are wholesome,

and there is not a destructive drug among them

nor any domain of the netherworld on earth,

for justice is undying.

For God formed man to be imperishable;

the image of his own nature he made him.

But by the envy of the devil, death entered the world,

and they who belong to his company experience it.

The Word of the Lord. Thanks be to God.

Wisdom 1:13-15; 2:23-24

. I will praise you, Lord,

for you have rescued me.

I will extol you, O LORD, for you drew me clear

and did not let my enemies rejoice over me.

O LORD, you brought me up from the netherworld;

you preserved me from among those going down

into the pit.

. I will praise you, Lord,

for you have rescued me.

Sing praise to the LORD, you his faithful ones,

and give thanks to his holy name.

For his anger lasts but a moment;

a lifetime, his good will.

At nightfall, weeping enters in,

but with the dawn, rejoicing.

. I will praise you, Lord,

for you have rescued me.

Hear, O LORD, and have pity on me;

O LORD, be my helper.

You changed my mourning into dancing;

O LORD, my God, forever will I give you thanks.

. I will praise you, Lord,

for you have rescued me.

“...Your faith has saved you. Go in peace and be cured of your affliction.”

Glory to God in the highest,

and on earth peace to people of good will.

Lord God, heavenly King,

O God, almighty Father.

Lord Jesus Christ, Only Begotten Son,

“OUR LADY OF THE ASSUMPTION PARISH IS A WELCOMING COMMUNITY

OF DISCIPLES OF JESUS CHRIST IN THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH.

THROUGH THE GIFTS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT AND THE INTERCESSION

OF MARY, WE SERVE TO BUILD THE KINGDOM OF GOD.”

When my family

moved to

Camarillo in 1963, we were visited by

organization known as Welcome

Wagon who presented us with a variety

of gifts and information about services

in the community.

Everyone in town raved about

Welcome Wagon and their hospitality.

For a ten-year-old, I still remember the

flyswatter that advertised a local

plumbing and paint store. If something

as simple, yet significant could impress

a ten-year-old, how much more

important is feeling a sense of welcome

and hospitality for a parish community

who espouses hospitality and service in

a parish of “missionary disciples?” Pope

Francis, our Universal Shepherd has

called upon all Catholics to envision

themselves as a welcoming community

who spread the message of Jesus

Christ.

We all want to feel welcomed and

invited. Friendly people set the tone for

any gathering that wants to celebrate

significant events in life. The same goes

for our daily and weekly celebrations of

the Eucharist. During the pandemic, we

gathered a community of welcoming

parishioners and named them

Ambassadors of Our Lady. They helped

us prepare for all the Masses and

welcomed parishioners with seating,

bulletins, and other special needs. We

need you to consider being an

Ambassador. Help us welcome those

coming to Mass. Help us be a

community of hospitality and service.

Help us greet everyone who comes to

our Church door with care and

attention. This is the vocation of every

missionary disciple. This is the work of

every Christian to welcome visitors,

strangers, and those we share a bond

of friendship.

This past weekend, it was wonderful to

see friends at Mass that have not been

together for over a year. What a grand

welcome and an exciting experience.

Isn’t that what a parish community

should be? There are still too many

anonymous folks who come to Mass

who would be transformed by a

Welcome from an Ambassador of

Mary. She is the one who leads us to

her Son and that is what we can do,

too.

supplement the lessons done at home and provide community for the

children.

In today’s Gospel we see the active workings of Faith. We all talk easily about Faith; having Faith and wanting to live

our lives as Faith filled people. But what is Faith? When Jesus says to the Woman, “your Faith has saved you” and to

Jairus “just have Faith”, what does he mean?

First, I think Jesus is saying to both the Woman and Jairus: believe and trust in me because what I say to you will

happen. We know from many examples that Jesus’ words had power because what he said, happened. Why? Because

Jesus is God! Jesus said these words over two thousand years ago and we can rely upon them today.

Hebrews 11:1 tells us: “Faith is the assurance of things hoped for and conviction in things unseen.” Hope is something

that we desire to happen and faith is trusting that what we hope for, will in fact, happen. “Things unseen” doesn’t

suggest a lack of proof, but something not revealed to our senses. However, this doesn’t mean that if we have Faith,

what we want to happen will happen exactly as we desire. Why? Because sometimes God has a better plan for us

which is different than what we desire. Faith is an act of one’s will not just one’s intellect. Faith and reason are bound

together.

What did the Woman want? She wanted to be cured and she believed and trusted that by merely touching Jesus’

garments she would be cured and so she was. Jairus believed that if Jesus laid his hands on his daughter, she would

be cured. Though she had died, Jesus took her by the hand and she arose from the dead. What does this mean for us?

Believe and trust in Jesus. Have Faith, because Jesus’ words are true.

Eternal rest grant unto them,

O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them.

May the souls of all the faithful departed,

through the mercy of God, rest in peace.

Segunda Lectura

Hermanos:

Ya que ustedes se distinguen en todo: en fe, en palabra,

en sabiduría, en diligencia para todo y en amor hacia

nosotros, distínganse también ahora por su

generosidad.

Bien saben lo generoso que ha sido nuestro Señor

Jesucristo, que siendo rico, se hizo pobre por ustedes,

para que ustedes se hicieran ricos con su pobreza.

No se trata de que los demás vivan tranquilos, mientras

ustedes están sufriendo. Se trata, más bien, de aplicar

durante nuestra vida una medida justa; porque

entonces la abundancia de ustedes remediará las

carencias de ellos, y ellos, por su parte, los socorrerán a

ustedes en sus necesidades. En esa forma habrá un

justo medio, como dice la Escritura: Al que recogía

mucho, nada le sobraba; al que recogía poco, nada le

faltaba.

Palabra de Dios: Te alabamos Señor.

En aquel tiempo, cuando Jesús regresó en la barca al otro lado del lago, se quedó en la orilla y ahí se le reunió mucha gente.

Entonces se acercó uno de los jefes de la sinagoga, llamado Jairo. Al ver a Jesús, se echó a sus pies y le suplicaba con

insistencia: “Mi hija está agonizando. Ven a imponerle las manos para que se cure y viva”. Jesús se fue con él, y mucha gente lo

seguía y lo apretujaba.

Entre la gente había una mujer que padecía flujo de sangre desde hacía doce años. Había sufrido mucho a manos de los

médicos y había gastado en eso toda su fortuna, pero en vez de mejorar, había empeorado. Oyó hablar de Jesús, vino y se le

acercó por detrás entre la gente y le tocó el manto, pensando que, con sólo tocarle el vestido, se curaría. Inmediatamente se le

secó la fuente de su hemorragia y sintió en su cuerpo que estaba curada.

Jesús notó al instante que una fuerza curativa había salido de él, se volvió hacia la gente y les preguntó: “¿Quién ha tocado mi

manto?” Sus discípulos le contestaron: “Estás viendo cómo te empuja la gente y todavía preguntas: ‘¿Quién me ha tocado?’ ”

Pero él seguía mirando alrededor, para descubrir quién había sido. Entonces se acercó la mujer, asustada y temblorosa, al

comprender lo que había pasado; se postró a sus pies y le confesó la verdad. Jesús la tranquilizó, diciendo: “Hija, tu fe te ha

curado. Vete en paz y queda sana de tu enfermedad”.

Todavía estaba hablando Jesús, cuando unos criados llegaron de casa del jefe de la sinagoga para decirle a éste: “Ya se murió

tu hija. ¿Para qué sigues molestando al Maestro?” Jesús alcanzó a oír lo que hablaban y le dijo al jefe de la sinagoga: “No temas,

basta que tengas fe”. No permitió que lo acompañaran más que Pedro, Santiago y Juan, el hermano de Santiago.

Al llegar a la casa del jefe de la sinagoga, vio Jesús el alboroto de la gente y oyó los llantos y los alaridos que daban. Entró y les

dijo: “¿Qué significa tanto llanto y alboroto? La niña no está muerta, está dormida”. Y se reían de él.

Entonces Jesús echó fuera a la gente, y con los padres de la niña y sus acompañantes, entró a donde estaba la niña. La tomó

de la mano y le dijo: “¡Talitá, kum!”, que significa: “¡Óyeme, niña, levántate!” La niña, que tenía doce años, se levantó

inmediatamente y se puso a caminar. Todos se quedaron asombrados. Jesús les ordenó severamente que no lo dijeran a

nadie y les mandó que le dieran de comer a la niña.”

significante pudo impresionar a un

niño de diez años, cuan más

importante es sentir la bienvenida y la

hospitalidad dentro de una

comunidad parroquial que acoge la

hospitalidad y el servicio de ser

“discípulos misioneros.” El Papa

Francisco, nuestro Pastor Universal ha

hecho un llamado a todos los

católicos a que se vean a sí mismos

como una comunidad de bienvenida

que lleva el mensaje de Jesucristo.

Todos queremos sentirnos

bienvenidos e invitados. Las personas

amables marcan la pauta para

cualquier reunión que quiera celebrar

eventos importantes de la vida. Lo

mismo ocurre con nuestras

celebraciones eucarísticas. Durante la

pandemia, reunimos a una

comunidad de feligreses de

bienvenida y los nombramos

Embajadores de Nuestra Señora. Nos

ayudaron a prepararnos para todas

las Misas y dieron la bienvenida a los

feligreses con asientos, boletines y

otras necesidades especiales. Les

quiero hacer la invitación a considerar

ser uno de estos embajadores.

Ayudando a dar la bienvenida a los

que vienen a Misa. Ayudando a ser

una comunidad de hospitalidad y

servicio. Ayudando a saludar a todos

los que se acercan a la puerta de

nuestra Iglesia. Ésta es la vocación de

todo discípulo misionero. Este es el

trabajo de todo cristiano, dar la

bienvenida a los que visitan, a los

extraños y aquellos con quienes

compartimos un vínculo de amistad.

El fin de semana pasado, fue

maravilloso ver a amigos en la Misa

que no han estado juntos por más de

un año. Qué gran bienvenida y qué

experiencia tan emocionante. ¿No es

eso lo que debería ser una

comunidad parroquial? Aún hay

muchas personas “anónimas” que

vienen a Misa que podrían ser

transformadas por la bienvenida de

un Embajador de María. Ella es quien

nos lleva a su Hijo y eso es lo que

nosotros también podemos hacer.

La Novena del Día del Padre comenzará el domingo

20 de junio. Las intenciones de la misa para la

novena de 9 días están disponibles a través de

nuestro sitio web en www.olaventura.com o los

sobres de intención de la misa del Día del Padre

estarán disponibles este fin de semana en todas

nuestras misas en las áreas de entrada y salida. Escriba el nombre de su ser

querido en el sobre de donación y devuélvalo en las canastas de ofrendas o en la

oficina parroquial.

En el Evangelio de hoy vemos el trabajo activo de la fe. Todos hablamos fácilmente de la fe; de tener fe y de querer vivir

nuestras vidas como personas llenas de fe. Pero, ¿qué es la fe? Cuando Jesús le dice a la mujer; “tu fe te ha salvado” y a Jairo;

“solo ten fe”, ¿qué significa esto?

Primeramente, creo que Jesús les está diciendo tanto a la mujer como a Jairo: crean y confíen en mí porque lo que yo les digo

sucederá. Sabemos, a través de muchos ejemplos, que las palabras de Jesús tenían poder porque lo que dijo, sucedió. ¿Por

qué? ¡Porque Jesús es Dios! Jesús dijo estas palabras hace más de dos mil años y hoy todavía podemos confiar en ellas.

Según se nos dice en Hebreos 11: 1, “La fe es la certeza de lo que se espera y la convicción de lo que no se ve”. La esperanza es

algo que deseamos que suceda y la fe es confiar que lo que esperamos, de hecho sucederá. “Cosas que no se ven” no está

sugiriendo una falta de pruebas, sino algo que no se nos es revelado a través de nuestros sentidos. Sin embargo, esto no

significa que si tenemos fe, lo que queremos que suceda ocurrirá exactamente como deseamos. ¿Por qué? Porque a veces

Dios tiene un plan mejor para nosotros que es diferente al que deseamos. La fe es un acto de la propia voluntad, no solo del

intelecto. La fe y la razón están unidas. Entonces, ¿qué quería la mujer? Quería ser curada y creía y confiaba que con solo tocar

las vestiduras de Jesús, se curaría y así fue. Jairo creía que si Jesús ponía las manos sobre su hija, ella se curaría. Aunque había

muerto, Jesús tomó a la hija de Jairo de la mano y la levantó de entre los muertos. ¿Qué significa esto para nosotros? Cree y

confía en Jesús. Ten fe, porque las palabras de Jesús son verdaderas.

Gracias por su

continuo apoyo a la

Parroquia de Nuestra

Señora de la Asunción.

Para el mes de junio

de 2021, nuestro

presupuesto parroquial exige $19,569.00

para ser donados semanalmente en la

colecta del domingo. La colección del

domingo 13 de junio de 2021 fue de

$20,382.74. Esta colección no solo se usa

para gastos operativos cada semana, sino

también para cualquier trabajo de

reparación en curso, mejoras, etc. a nuestra

instalación parroquial. Hay varias maneras

de contribuir; tarjeta de crédito y débito

automático están disponibles. Por favor

visite https://olaventura.weshareonline.org/.

El tiempo a solas con adultos de confianza es saludable para los niños y les ayuda a desarrollar la autoestima y las

relaciones a largo plazo. Puede proteger a su hijo/hija y, al mismo tiempo, asegurarse de que él o ella tenga

tiempo y oportunidades para construir esas relaciones. Usted puede pasar inesperadamente cuando su hijo o

hija está con otro adulto, aun cuando esa persona sea un familiar de confianza. Insista en salidas observables, en

lugares públicos. Hable con su hijo después de una salida y observe su estado de ánimo o su capacidad para contarle

con seguridad lo que sucedió. Para obtener más información, visite https://www.d2l.org/education/5-steps/step-2/.

Gracias a los que ya han

contribuido a la

campaña de este año. Si aun no ha tenido la
