Today’s Readings

AMEN

Take a look around the walls of your church. Even if it’s only a year or two old, the word “Amen” has resounded off those walls countless times at the conclusion of the Eucharistic Prayer and as the faithful have come forward to receive the Body and Blood of Christ. Today’s feast is about those “Amens” offered in faith, offered in times of trouble or doubt, spoken in joy, spoken mindlessly, but all given to God in a multitude of ways. It is our very lives that lie behind our “Amens” and are touched by the presence of Christ, the presence we celebrate today. More importantly, we celebrate the love of Christ for us shown in the sacrifice on Calvary and that he continues to give to us in every celebration of the Eucharist. What can we do but rejoice in that great love, and then go out into the world and live that love in sacrificing for others?

Amén

Mira alrededor de las paredes de tu iglesia. No importa si sólo tiene uno o dos años de construida, la palabra “Amén” ha resonado en sus paredes un número incontable de veces al concluir la Oración Eucarística y cuando los fieles se acercan a recibir el Cuerpo y la Sangre de Cristo. La fiesta de hoy es sobre esos “Amenes” ofrecidos en fe, en momentos de dificultad o duda, pronunciados con alegría, o distraídamente, pero todos entregados a Dios de alguna manera. Nuestra vida misma está detrás de esos “Amenes” que han sido afectados por la presencia de Cristo, la presencia que celebramos hoy. Más importante aún, celebramos el amor de Cristo que nos lo dio en su entrega total en el Calvario y que continúa dándonos en su auto sacrificio de cada Eucaristía. ¿Podemos hacer otra cosa que no sea alegrarnos por ese gran amor, y luego salir al mundo a vivir ese amor en nuestro auto sacrificio por otros?

Una Palabra de P. Ray El proyecto acera de la nueva banqueta no ha comenzado, ya que simplemente no tenemos los fondos en este momento para completar el proyecto. Hemos recibido varios cheques, pero aún estamos bastante corto en las finanzas en este momento. Cualquier persona que desee ayudar a financiar el proyecto de la acera, por favor Todos tenemos que estar atentos a nuestros vehículos en el estacionamiento de nuestra Iglesia, ya que estamos teniendo algunos problemas con los robos de coches en durante la Santa Misa. Si su vehículo es violado, por favor haga todo lo posible por llamar al 311 y hacer un reporte de inmediato a fin de que "Metro" haga un reporte del evento y abastecer a más de patrulla en nuestra cuadra. La Diócesis no es responsable de los robos, por lo tanto, tenemos que hacer todo lo posible para no dejar nada de valor en el interior de nuestros vehículos que llamar la atención sobre un robo potencial. Como nota adicional, por favor no se estacione en Torrey Pines Road a ambos lados de la calle, porque "Metro" esta dando infracciones rutinariamente a los vehículos en violación de la obstrucción de los carriles para bicicletas. Un boleto típico de esta violación es $ 191.00, además de los gastos administrativos que la ciudad, opta por añadir a esa violación. PREGUNTAS PARA EL DOMINGO, JUNIO 29 LECTURAS: "Fui rescatado desde la boca del León" ¿A qué se refiere San Pablo en términos de la boca del León? "Quien dice la gente que es el hijo del hombre?" ¿MT 16-13-19 en su propia reflexión personal, que quiere decir esta pregunta ¿de quién es el hijo del hombre para ti?

Con mucho amor y gratitud, P. Ray

If you wish to donate money for flowers in memory or in celebration of loved ones. DONATIONS MUST BE FOR WEEKEND LITURGIES.

The sidewalk project has not commenced, as we simply do not have the funding right now to complete the project. We have received numerous checks, but we’re still considerably short in finances at this time. Anyone wishing to help underwrite the cost of the sidewalk project may contact Fr. Ray or Deacon Jacob We all need to be attentive to our vehicles on the CTK campus, as we are having some issues with car break-ins during our weekend services. If your vehicle is broken into, please make every effort to call 311 and make a report immediately so that “Metro” can make a record of the event and supply more patrol on our block. The Diocese is not responsible for break-ins, therefore we need to make every effort to not leave anything valuable inside our vehicles that would call attention to a potential burglary. As a further note, please do not park on Torrey Pines Road on either side of the street, as “Metro” is routinely ticketing vehicles in violation of obstructing the bicycle lanes. A typical ticket for this violation is $191.00 plus any administrative fees the city so chooses to add to that violation. QUESTIONS FOR SUNDAY JUNE 29 READINGS: “I was rescued from the lion’s mouth” what is St. Paul referring to in terms of the lion’s mouth? “Who do people say that the Son of Man is?” MT 16-13-19 From your own personal reflection, what does this question of whom the Son of Man is to you?

A Word from Fr. Ray

With much love and gratitude, Fr. Ray

Ordinary Time beckons, and so on this Sunday

we surrender the last glimmers of paschal joy as we celebrate the renewal of our life around the table of the Eucharist. This feast reminds us that the goal of the catechumen’s journey through Lent is not the baptismal font at Easter, but rather the experience of Pentecost. It is all about life lived in the Spirit’s embrace in relationship to the Body of Christ, which is found both “on the table” and “at the table.” The season of confirmation is also drawing to a close, and this feast serves as a reminder that this sacrament, a solemn sending from font to table, is keyed to renewed vigor. Confirmation has sometimes been sadly misunderstood as a kind of graduation from religious formation, but it is nothing of the sort. It is about being led by the Lord Jesus to the place where the Spirit flourishes, and where the gifts of the Spirit are most easily detectable. After next week we will resume our consideration of the sacrament of confirmation, its rich and somewhat tangled history, its challenging theology, and its changing celebration. —Rev. James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITIONS

Hace algunos años, el cantante de rock Carlos

Santana y el grupo roquero Maná ganaron un premio en los “Latin Grammys” por su canción: “Corazón espinado”. Esta bella canción es de un hombre que lamenta el dolor que una mujer le ha causado. No la puede olvidar, porque ella le ha dejado el corazón espinado. Esta canción siempre me recuerda al Sagrado Corazón de Jesús, corazón rodeado por una corona de espinas e inflamado por el amor que le tiene a su mujer, la Iglesia, es decir, nosotros.

La devoción al Sagrado Corazón proviene de una monja francesa, santa Margarita María Alacoque a quien Jesús le mostró su corazón en junio de 1675. Jesús le dijo que su corazón arde de amor por los seres humanos, pero los cristianos sólo lo ofendemos con insultos, ingratitud e indiferencias. ¿Cuántas veces, como Iglesia o como individuos, le hemos espinado el corazón al Señor? Y aun así, la imagen del corazón espinado e inflamado de Jesús nos sigue cantando y llamando para que seamos suyos. Si regresamos a él, Jesucristo nos promete doce bendiciones de paz, consolación, fervor y otras gracias. —Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

Small Church Communities; a way of being church

Small Church Communities are groups of 6 to 8 people who gather in homes to reflect on the scriptures of the upcoming Sunday and their significance in their lives. All ministries and organizations connected to Christ the King are asked to use a simple formula for prayer as they gather: Read one of the scriptures for the upcoming Sunday. Take a few moments to reflect on one of the questions related to the scripture (in Fr. Ray’s column). Invite individuals to share their response with the person next to them; encourage people to share with someone they do not know well. Before we know it we have grown closer as a community!

Please call Chris at (702) 378-5622 or e-mail at sellmanc@cox.net

La poetisa Anne Sexton escribió una vez que las

palabras podían ser tanto margaritas como moretones. Vivimos en una época en que las palabras parecen herir y dividir a la gente más que sanarlas y unirlas. Ya sea en el ámbito de la política o de la religión las palabras se han convertido más a menudo en armas que en puentes de entendimiento y cooperación. Pero somos un pueblo que a través de los siglos se ha ido formando por la palabra de Dios, tanto en el Antiguo como en el Nuevo Testamento.

Lo mismo Moisés que Jesús conocían el poder de las palabras, que echan raíces en el corazón humano y que llevan a una acción. En el libro del Deuteronomio Moisés ofrece su último discurso al pueblo que él ha sacado de la esclavitud hasta la frontera de la tierra prometida. Él los exhorta no sólo a ponerse estas palabras en su cuerpo como emblemas de fe, sino también a que “graben en su corazón y en su alma estas alabras” (Deuteronomio 11:18).

Jesús comienza diciendo que las palabras por sí solas no son suficientes; lo que es ulteriormente importante es hacer la voluntad del Padre. Y, ¿cuál es la voluntad del Padre? Lean de nuevo y en su totalidad el sermón de la montaña (Mateo 5:1—7:29). La exhortación a vivir de manera que se cumpla la ley de Moisés es escucharla, tomarla en serio y llevarla a la acción. La instrucción que les fue dada a los discípulos sigue vigente como un mandamiento urgente de llevar a cabo la obra del reino de los cielos ahora. Las palabras de Jesús serán un refugio robusto que protegerá a los discípulos cuando los azotes de las tormentas amenacen abrumarlos. —James A. Wallace, C.Ss.R. Derechos de autor © 2013, World Library Publications. Todos los derechos reservados.

The poet Anne Sexton once wrote that words

may be both daisies and bruises. We live in a time when words seem to wound and divide people more than heal and unite them. Whether in the realm of politics or religion, words have become weapons more often than bridges to understanding and cooperation. But we are a people who over the centuries have been formed by the word of God in both the Old and New Testament.

Both Moses and Jesus knew the power of words that have taken root in the human heart and carry over into action. In the book of Deuteronomy Moses gives his final speech to the people he has led out of bondage and brought to the border of the Promised Land. He calls them not only to wear these words on their body as emblems of faith, but to “take these words of mine into your heart and soul” (Deuteronomy 11:18).

Jesus begins by saying that words alone are not enough; what matters in the end is doing the will of the Father. And what is the Father’s will? Go back and read the entire Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5:1—7:29). The call to live in a way that brings the law of Moses to fulfillment is to be heard, taken to heart, and carried into action. The instruction given to the disciples remains an urgent command to bring about the kingdom of heaven now. Jesus’ words will be a sturdy shelter that protects them when battering storms threaten to overwhelm. —James A. Wallace, C.Ss.R. Copyright © 2013, World Library Publications. All rights reserved.
