~ REFLECTION ~
After more than three months of Lent and Easter, we return today to Sundays in Ordinary Time. We will be hearing from the Gospel of Saint Matthew for the rest of the year, with the first reading intended to prepare us in some way for the day’s Gospel. The second readings proceed through several of Saint Paul’s letters. As we settle down to summer living, these next few Sundays focus on what it is like to be a disciple. Let us pray to have hearts open to what the Lord is telling us
~ REFLEXION ~
Después de más de tres meses de Cuaresma y Pascua regresamos hoy a los domingos del tiempo ordinario. Por el resto del año escucharemos el Evangelio según san Mateo y la primera lectura tiene el propósito de prepararnos de alguna manera para el Evangelio del día. Las segundas lecturas seguirán siendo tomadas de varias de las cartas de san Pablo. En unos cuantos domingos siguientes de esta temporada de verano se nos dirá de qué se trata ser discípulo. Oremos para mantener nuestro corazón abierto a lo que el Señor nos está diciendo.
Did You Know? Often, there are many
ways to solve a problem, and many possible solutions. If you teach your children to problem solve creatively, and think outside the box when they are faced with a challenge, this can help them formulate problem-solving skills that will serve them well throughout their lives. By using creative problem solving methods, parents and children can brainstorm new ideas to protect kids from stranger danger, abuse, violence, and the other risks present in the world. Discuss possible solutions and highlight common themes to help your children develop strategies for staying safe. For a copy of the VIRTUS© article “Creative Problem Solving-How Can It Help?” email

Al usar métodos creativos para la resolución de problemas, los padres y los niños pueden hacer una lluvia de ideas sobre nuevas formas para proteger a los niños contra el peligro ante un extraño, el abuso, la violencia y los otros riesgos presentes en el mundo.

7 Marks of a Disciple
Mark 1. The first mark is that a disciple must share the message of the kingdom/gospel with others. Sharing the gospel focuses on the needs of others. Mark 2. The second mark is that a disciple must learn to trust God for his or her needs and circumstances. Under the most adverse circumstances, in the most severe trials, they believe that sovereignty has ordained their afflictions, that sovereignty overrules them, and that sovereignty will sanctify them. Mark 3. The third mark is that a disciple must be prepared to be rejected. The disciple must learn not to take personal offense at a rejection but rather see that is in fact God himself and His gospel message that is rejected. Mark 4. The fourth mark is that a disciple must place Christ above family relationships if need be. Our commitment to Jesus must exceed all, even that of our family. Mark 5. The fifth mark is that a disciple must fear God more than men. God is the ultimate judge; He will judge everyone and everything; Man’s judgment is temporal but God’s judgment is eternal. Mark 6. A sixth mark is that a disciple must lose his old life and find his new life in Jesus. A disciple must be willing to die to the old life and live a new life that God has for him. Mark 7. Lastly, a seventh mark is that a disciple must look to the future reward reserved in heaven. In essence God gives us the promise that being a disciple will be worth it in the end. 7 Marcas de un Discipulo Marca 1. La primera marca es que un discípulo debe compartir el mensaje del Reino/Evangelio con otros. Compartir el Evangelio se trate de las necesidades de los demás. Marca 2. La segunda marca es que un discípulo debe aprender a confiar en Dios para sus necesidades y circunstancias. Bajo las circunstancias más adversas, en los ensayos más severos, ellos creen que la soberanía ha ordenado sus aflicciones, que la soberanía les anula, y que la soberanía les santificará.
Marca 3. La tercera marca es que un discípulo debe estar preparado para ser rechazado. El discípulo debe aprender a no tomar ofensa personal a un rechazo es preferable que vea que es Dios mismo y su mensaje del evangelio que es rechazado. Marca 4. La cuarta marca dice que un discípulo debe poner a Christo sobre las relaciones familiares si es necesario. Nuestro compromiso con Jesús debe superar todo, incluso el de nuestra familia. Marca 5. La quinta es que un discípulo debe temer a Dios más que los hombres. Dios es el juez supremo; Él juzgará a todos y todo; El juicio del hombre es temporal pero el juicio de Dios es eterno. Marca 6. Una sexta marca es que un discípulo debe perder su antigua vida y encontrar su nueva vida en Jesús. Un discípulo debe estar dispuesto a morir a la vieja vida y vivir una vida nueva que Dios tiene para él. Marca 7. Por último, una séptima marca es que un discípulo debe buscar a la futura recompensa reservada en el cielo. En esencia, Dios nos da la promesa de que ser un discípulo valdrá al final.
