PASTOR’S Reflection

B

reaking Open the Word of God:

Dear brothers and sisters, in today's readings, a very special verse of 2 Cor. calls my attention: 5:17 which says: "Whoever is in Christ is a new creation: the old things have passed away; behold, new things have come." This passage summarizes God’s Divine Plan of God for humanity. This plan which started with the prophecies of the Old Testament, and is fulfilled through Jesus Christ, explains how we have become a new creation of God. Very few Christians really know and understand that if someone is in Christ, there is a new creation in him or her. Very few understand what really happens at the Sacrament of Baptism, when we die in Christ, are buried in Christ and our resurrection is a new creation in Jesus Christ. In Genesis 2:7 God tells us: " God formed the man out of the dust of the ground and blew into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being." In other words, God created a physical body, and gave it a "human spirit". God created man with a soul, with his self-consciousness, a physical body and a human spirit to sustain the life of the body. Because a body without spirit is dead. As Jesus said, "it is the spirit that gives life, the flesh is useless." God created man in his image and likeness. And God saw that everything he had done was good. After God completed the creation of all things, He placed Adam in the Garden of Eden and commanded him: " You are free to eat from any of the trees of the garden except the tree of knowledge of good and evil. From that tree you shall not eat; when you eat from it you shall die. " (Gen. 2: 16-17) As we all know, Adam and Eve disobeyed God by eating the fruit the tree of knowledge, and thus sin entered the world. At that time, Satan became the "prince of the world". Adam and Eve lost their original nature of holiness in

the likeness of God. In punishment for their disobedience, God expelled Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden and said, " you shall eat bread, until you return to the ground, from which you were taken; for you are dust, and to dust you shall return." This is where we begin to discover the mystery of the creation of humanity. When God said that man was dust and to dust he would return, God meant that all of Adam's descendants would experience death. In today's Second Reading taken from the Second Letter to the Corinthians we hear: "Whoever is in Christ is a new creation: the old things have passed away; behold, new things have come." (2 Cor 5:17). Everything has become new because in addition to receiving the Holy Spirit, we have received a new spiritual nature in Christ, a new human spirit for the soul, now free from original sin, we all qualify to receive the inheritance of the Kingdom of God, after physical death. "All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and has given us the ministry of reconciliation; that is, in Christ, God was reconciling the world to himself. " Brothers and sisters, our new human spirit, free from original sin through the Sacrament of Baptism, is a gift from God, it is the good seed. As Jesus said in the parable of the weeds, "He who sows the good seed is the Son of man, the field is the world, and the good seed are the children of the Kingdom." "You have been born again, not from a perishable seed, but from an imperishable seed, through the living and lasting Word of God." "This means that it is not the children of the flesh who are children of God." Knowing this, we can now

understand why we are ambassadors of Christ. And in the name of Christ, God is making his call through us, so that all may seek reconciliation with God.

W

alking together as brothers and sisters:

Dear brothers and sisters, I invite all of you this this week to reflect on the Word of God that we have heard today. We are being reminded of how important it is that everybody receives the Sacrament of Baptism so that they too can be reconciled with God. Ask yourself: Do I know someone who is not baptized? If you know of someone who is not baptized, as an ambassador of Christ, you have the obligation to spread this good news. It is your duty to convince those around you, whether they be family members, friends, coworkers, that they need to be baptized. It is urgent that they receive the free gifts from God through baptism.

Fr. José Gerardo Alberto, MSpS

Conchita, Tell Us about Your Life The miracle of the healing of Jorge Treviño Jorge Treviño was born in Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, Mexico on December 7, 1960. In 1993, despite being 33 years old, Jorge began to grow taller (up to 6 inches) and to gain weight. It was during this time that his muscles would involuntarily contract while doing some physical activity, or even at rest. Accompanied by very intense and painful cramps, with the result of torn muscles and sprained ligaments in the legs. From 1996 to 2004 his symptoms became more frequent and severe. From 2004 to 2006 he spent most of his time in bed or a wheelchair, with his left side cramped and in excruciating pain. The doctors could not make a diagnosis. That February, Marcela, a friend of the couple, gave Jorge a picture of Conchita. Marcela also talked to Jorge about Jesus Maria, as a place of peace and prayer. Upon receiving the picture, Jorge told his wife that he loved the way Conchita's image gazed at him. Since Jorge had this picture of Conchita, he remembers asking her to intercede for his health. On May 15, 2008, Jorge, Cecilia, and Marcela went to San Luis Potosi. They stayed at the Missionaries the Holy Spirit's house. During dinner, he told all those present the intention of his trip: to ask, through the intercession of Conchita, for his health. Jorge prayed before the Blessed Sacrament and asked for the miracle of his healing. Jorge then visited Conchita's garden. The pilgrims returned to Monterrey on May 17, and in a few days he was hospitalized. On Thursday, May 22, 2008, at about 7pm, Jorge, his wife Cecilia and two other friends were in the hospital room. Jorge asked his wife for the image of the Cross of the Apostolate and the holy card of Conchita, which Marcela had given him earlier. He fell asleep. Soon, Marcela and Cecilia noticed that Jorge, in his sleep, opened his left hand, which had not been open for years. Surprised, Cecilia took out her cell phone and shot some pictures. Jorge continued to move and then they heard him mumble the “Our Father”. Even the family doctor and specialty internist came into the room. Looking at Jorge's legs straight and without contractions, his arms over his chest and still moving normally, the doctor stared for a moment and then ordered to cancel all treatment. Jorge woke up at 11:40 p.m, he was moved to tears; he could not believe it. He checked his entire body: hands, legs, feet, neck, and face. Then, to the astonishment of all, he rose to his feet by himself and went to the bathroom without any assistance, He recounted having received a visit from Conchita in his sleep, and praying with her the Our Father. The next day, Jorge could take a shower alone. He was completely cured. He left the hospital walking without any assistance.

Conchita: Cuéntanos tu vida La curación milagrosa de Jorge Treviño Jorge Treviño nació en Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, Mexico el 7 de diciembre de 1960. En 1993, pese a tener 33 años, Jorge creció 6 pulgadas de estatura, y ganó peso. Por este tiempo sus músculos comenzaron a contraerse involuntariamente mientras hacía alguna actividad física, o incluso mientras descansaba. A esto acompañaba calambres muy intensos y dolorosos, que resultaban en desgarres musculares y esguinces de ligamentos. De 1996 a 2004 sus síntomas se hicieron más frecuentes y más severos. Del 2004 al 2006 pasó la mayor parte del tiempo en cama y en silla de ruedas, con el lado izquierdo acalambrado y con extremo dolor. Los doctores no encontraban el problema. Ese febrero, Marcela, una amiga de la pareja, le dio a Jorge una estampita con la imagen de Conchita. Marcela también les contó de Jesús María, como un lugar de paz y oración. En cuanto recibió la estampita, Jorge le dijo a su esposa que le gustaba mucho la mirada de Conchita. Desde que recibió la imagen, Jorge le pedía a Conchita que intercediera por su salud. El 15 de mayo del 2008 Jorge, Cecilia y Marcela fueron a San Luis Potosí. Se quedaron con los Misioneros del Espíritu Santo. Durante la cena, Jorge les dijo a todos los allí presentes cuál era el motivo de su viaje, pedir a Conchita su intercesión por la salud de Jorge. Jorge rezó frente al Santísimo, y visitó el jardín de Conchita. Los peregrinos regresaron a Monterrey el 17 de mayo, y unos días después estaba hospitalizado. El jueves 22 de mayo del 2008, a eso de las 7pm, Jorge, Cecilia y otras dos amigas estaban en el cuarto del hospital. Jorge le pidió a Cecilia la imagen de la Cruz del apostolado y la estampita de Conchita. Se quedó dormido. Pronto Marcela y Cecilia se dieron cuneta que Jorge, aún dormido, abría su mano izquierda, que no había abierto en años. Sorprendida, Cecilia tomó fotos con su celular. Jorge seguía moviéndose y le escucharon murmurar el Padre Nuestro. Incluso llegaron el doctor familiar y el Especialista. Cuando vieron las piernas de Jorge estiradas y sin contracciones, sus brazos relajados sobre su pecho y moviéndose normalmente, los doctores miraron sin creer, y cancelaron todos los tratamientos programados. Jorge se despertó a las 11:40 pm y se puso a llorar, no lo podía creer. Chequeó todo el cuerpo, sus manos, pernas, pies, cuello y cara. Luego, para asombro de todos, se puso en pie y fue al baño sin ayuda. Luego contaría que había recibido la visita de Conchita, y que habían rezado juntos. Al próximo día Jorge pudo ducharse sin ayuda. Estaba completamente curado. Salió del hospital caminando por sus propios medios.

REFLEXION del

M

Párroco

editando la Palabra de Dios

Estimados hermanos y hermanas, en las lecturas de hoy, llama la atención un versículo muy especial de la 2 Cor. 5,17 el cual dice: "El que vive según Cristo es una creatura nueva; para él todo lo viejo ha pasado. Ya todo es nuevo”. Este pasaje resume el Plan Divino de Dios para el hombre. Teniendo su origen en las profecías del Antiguo Testamento, cumpliéndose a través de Jesucristo, explica cómo nos hemos convertido en nuevas creaturas de Dios. Muy pocos cristianos realmente saben y entienden lo que significa que si alguien está en Cristo, hay una nueva creación en él o ella. Pero pocos entienden lo que realmente sucede a través del Sacramento del Bautismo, durante el proceso de nuestra muerte en Cristo, nuestra sepultura en Cristo y nuestra resureccion en una nueva creación en Cristo Jesús. En el Génesis 2,7 Dios nos dice: "Dios formó al hombre con polvo de la tierra; luego sopló en su nariz un aliento de vida, y el hombre tuvo aliento y vida". En otras palabras, Dios creó un cuerpo físico, le dio un "espíritu humano" Dios creó al hombre con un alma, con su autoconciencia, un cuerpo físico y un espíritu humano para sostener la vida del cuerpo. Porque un cuerpo sin espíritu está muerto. Como dijo Jesús, "es el espíritu el que da vida; la carne es inútil". Dios creó al hombre a su imagen y semejanza. Y vio Dios que todo lo que había hecho era bueno. Después de que Dios completó la creación de todas las cosas, Él colocó a Adán en el Jardín del Edén y le ordenó: "Puedes comer todo lo que quieras de los árboles del jardín; pero no comerás del árbol de la Ciencia del bien y del mal. El día que comas de él, ten la seguridad de que morirás". (Gen. 2, 16-17) Como todos sabemos, Adán y Eva desobedecieron a Dios al comer del árbol del conocimiento y el pecado entró en el mundo. En ese momento, Satanás se convirtió en el "príncipe del mundo" Adán y Eva perdieron su naturaleza original de santidad a la semejanza de Dios. En castigo por desobedecer, Dios sacó a Adán y Eva del Jardín del Edén y dijo: "Comerás pan hasta que vuelvas a la tierra, porque de allí fuiste sacado; eres polvo, y al polvo volverás". Aquí es donde comenzamos a descubrir el misterio de la creación del hombre. Cuando Dios dijo que el hombre es polvo y que volverá al polvo, Dios quiso decir que todos los descendientes de Adán experimentarán la muerte. En la Segunda Lectura de hoy tomada de la Segunda Carta a los Corintios dice: " El que vive según Cristo es una creatura nueva; para él todo lo viejo ha pasado. Ya todo es nuevo " (2 Cor. 5,17) De hecho, todo se ha vuelto nuevo

porque en Cristo, además de haber recibido el Espíritu Santo, hemos recibido una nueva naturaleza espiritual, un nuevo espíritu humano para el alma, ahora libre del pecado original, todos calificamos para recibir la herencia del Reino de Dios, después de la muerte física. “Todo esto es de Dios, quien nos reconcilió consigo mismo a través de Cristo y nos ha dado el ministerio de la reconciliación; es decir, en Cristo, Dios estaba reconciliando al mundo consigo mismo”. Hermanos y hermanas, nuestro nuevo espíritu humano, libre del pecado original a través del Sacramento del Bautismo, es un don de Dios, es la buena semilla. Como dijo Jesús en la parábola de las malas hierbas, "El que siembra la buena semilla es el Hijo del hombre; el campo es el mundo, y la buena semilla son los hijos del Reino". "Has nacido de nuevo, no de una semilla perecedera, sino de una semilla imperecedera, a través de la Palabra de Dios viva y duradera". "Esto significa que no son los hijos de la carne los que son hijos de Dios". Sabiendo esto, ahora podemos entender por qué somos embajadores de Cristo. Y en nombre de Cristo, Dios está haciendo su llamado a través de nosotros, para que todos busquen reconciliarse con Dios.

C

aminando juntos como hermanos:

Estimados hermanos y hermanas, los invito a cada uno de ustedes a lo largo de esta semana, a reflexionar sobre la Palabra de Dios que hemos escuchado hoy, debemos recordarnos la urgencia de que todos recibamos el Sacramento del Bautismo para que ellos también puedan reconciliarse con Dios. Pregúntate: ¿Conozco a alguien que no esté bautizado? Si sabes de alguien que no está bautizado, tu como enviado de Cristo, tienes la obligación de difundir esta buena noticia y de convencer a quienes nos rodean, ya sean nuestros familiares, nuestros amigos, nuestros compañeros de trabajo, de que es necesario que sean bautizados. Es urgente que reciban los dones gratuitos de Dios a través del bautismo.

A WAITING HARVEST

Vocation Awareness

Vows versus Promises Diocesan priests do not take vows of poverty, chastity and obedience. These are called the Evangelical Counsels and they are vowed by priests, brothers and sisters and monks who belong to religious orders. The Evangelical Counsels are specifically ordered to holiness; they are meant to facilitate total surrender of one’s life to God. Diocesan priests are also called to live the Evangelical Counsels —because they are ordered to holiness, and thus applicable in every vocation—but they do not take vows in the strict sense of the word. At their ordination, they make promises to live celibately for the sake of the Kingdom, meaning they promise not to marry. They promise to pray for God’s people every day through the Divine Office. And they promise obedience to their bishop and his successors. From the Book “To Save a Thousand Souls” Fr. Brett A. Brannen

“If we had faith, we would see God hidden in the priest like a light behind the glass or like wine mixed with water.” St. John Vianney, The Curé of Ars Patron Saint of Priests

O Jesus, Our Eternal Pastor, Deign to look with merciful eyes Upon this part of your loving flock. Lord, we need a large number of priests, and men and women consecrated to the religious life. Multiply vocations, And sanctify more and more our priests, And those consecrated in the religious life.

This week please pray for Andrew Hollands. He is a seminarian with the Archdiocese of Seattle and is taking Theology I classes at Mt Angel Seminary in Oregon.

We ask you all this through the Immaculate Virgin Mary of Guadalupe, your sweet and holy Mother. Jesus give us priests according to your heart. Jesus, savior of all people, save them, save them!

T y p o l o g y Rediscover the Sign of the Cross

by Cassie Sadie Part II

Imagine how different our lives would be if we took this prayer more seriously! If we truly strived to live for in His Name. It would change everything. St. Cyril of Jerusalem, who lived in the fourth century, said “Let us not be ashamed of the Cross of Christ; but though another hide it, openly seal it upon your forehead, that the devils may behold the royal sign and flee trembling far away. Make then this sign at eating and drinking, at sitting, at lying down, at rising up, at speaking, at walking: in a word, at every act.” Devils fleeing and trembling? That’s what I’m talking about, right?? St. John Vianney continues this theme, calling it “the most terrible weapon against the Devil.” Who knew this prayer was such a secret weapon?? I wish I had earlier in life, that’s for sure. He goes on to explain that “above all [we should make the sign of the cross] when we are tempted.” My personal favorite quote of his is “He, who when tempted makes the sign of the cross with devotion, makes hell tremble and heaven rejoice.” I’ve been amazed in my own life by the strength and graces I’ve been given to fight temptation just by doing the sign of the cross. I can’t recommend it enough in your daily battles. So here’s my challenge, for you and for myself: let’s take the sign of the cross more seriously. Let’s pray it with reverence and our whole heart, not just going through the motions but rather, thinking about what we’re really praying and proclaiming. Let’s pray it with boldness and unashamedly, not caring who sees but instead proudly proclaiming the truth of our faith and our salvation and identity in the cross of Christ. And let’s live for our God, in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
