INTRODUCTION TO TODAY’S READINGS The kingdom of God is among us, but is not easy to see. Yet look again with eyes of faith and you will see it everywhere.

First Reading Ezekiel 17:22-24 All that is life flourishes by the power of God who creates and sustains us. Second Reading 2 Corinthians 5:6-10 In faith we focus our life on Christ Jesus, on his justice and his love. Gospel Mark 4:26-34 The reign of God is utterly certain. God’s kingdom grows in our midst. QUESTIONS OF THE WEEK - LET US REFLECT AND RESPOND TO SCRIPTURE

First Reading—The prophet Ezekiel hears this "proverb" of the Lord (the restoration of Israel) while in exile in Babylon around 570 BC. How do you think the captive Israelites reacted to Ezekiel's words? Second Reading—Paul speaks of Christians being "courageous." How does your faith give you strength and confidence? Gospel Reading—Why do you think Jesus often spoke about the Kingdom of God by using parables? 2 | ST RITA CATHOLIC CHURCH

PARISH NEWS On June 23 & 24, 2018, our Diocese will take up the Peter’s Pence Collection.

We invite you to join our RCIA program. This program is for Adult Catholics who have not received their Sacraments of First Communion and/or Confirmation. Catholics who have not been active in their faith will find the RCIA program as a way to enrich and/or deepen their faith. This invitation is also for those from other Christian communities who wish to become members of the Roman Catholic Church. Classes will start in September 2018. For registration information, please call Sister Dina at 619/264-4399.

St. Rita’s Preschool

Do you have a preschool-age child you would like to enroll in St. Rita’s Preschool for summer or September? If they are 3 years old and up, they are welcome to attend our quality Preschool program. Various schedules are available. For more information call 264-8831 or 2640109. For YOUR safety, we recommend all our parishioners to use the Pedestrian Crossing when crossing Churchward street. The flashing lights serves as a warning to drivers that pedestrians are crossing. FATHER’S DAY MASS REMEMBRANCE Today is Father’s Day. It is not too late to submit names, living and deceased, to be remembered in the novena of Masses offered for Father’s Day. To submit names, please fill out a Novena Card, located in the back of the Church, and return to the rectory office along with your donation.

DID YOU KNOW? We have Sunday breakfast weekly after the 8:00am & 10:00am Masses! Come and enjoy breakfast with fellow parishioners. “Prayer Hour”, held in the Church from 12pm to 1pm Monday through Friday. The Mother’s Chapel located on the top ramp of the Church (westside), is intended for parents/guardians with small children. Please be courteous. If you DO NOT have small children attending mass with you, please sit in the main Church.

Father's Day Blessing Single fathers usually sit in the back row of their children's school performances. Fathers who are married usually sit as close to the front of the audiences, with their spouses. Why is this? Well, we all know how important mothers are to the wellbeing of a family. However, we as a culture look at single fathers with a bit of suspicion. Fathers are as important as mothers are, but offer a different perspective on life and bring a much needed role in bringing up children. Let us welcome all fathers today to the front row of our lives and acknowledge how important they have been, and continue to be in our lives. Let us pray... Gracious God and Father, our first father, You are the One who has brought us to life in this world you created. You created us and everything around us. We turned away from you and only after disappointing you did we return your love. Look with favor on our earthly fathers. They helped create us in your image. We have disappointed them, but have come to realize just how important they are to us. Bless all our fathers, living and deceased, with comfort and health. We bring all their needs to you and ask for strength so they may live worthy lives. We ask all this in the name of your Son, our model of what it means to reverence our fathers. In Christ's name. Amen.

XI DOMINGO DEL TIEMPO ORDINARIO

NOTICIAS HISPANAS "El Reino de Dios se parece a lo que sucede cuando un hombre siembra la semilla en la tierra...y la tierra, por sí sola, va produciendo el fruto: primero los tallos, luego las espigas y después los granos en las espigas. Y cuando ya están maduros los granos, el hombre echa mano de la hoz, pues ha llegado el tiempo de la cosecha". - Mc 4, 26. 28-29

LECTURAS DE HOY Primera lectura Ezequiel 17: 22-24 Todo lo que es vida florece por el poder de Dios que nos crea y nos sostiene. Segunda lectura 2 Corintios 5: 6-10 En la fe, enfocamos nuestra vida en Cristo Jesús, en su justicia y su amor. Marcos del Evangelio 4: 26-34 El reino de Dios es absolutamente cierto. El reino de Dios crece en medio de nosotros. PREGUNTAS DE LA SEMANA Primera lectura El profeta Ezequiel escucha este "proverbio" del Señor (la restauración de Israel) mientras estaba exiliado en Babilonia alrededor del año 570 a.C. ¿Cómo crees que los israelitas cautivos respondieron a las palabras de Ezequiel? Segunda lectura Pablo dice que los cristianos están "llenos de confianza". ¿De qué manera tu fe te infunde fortaleza y confianza? Lectura del Evangelio ¿Por qué crees que normalmente Jesús hablaba sobre el Reino de Dios con el uso de parábolas?

La misión de la Familia Parroquial de Santa Rita es inspirar y comprometer a nuestra diversa comunidad de fe a través de la formación católica en la oración, el estudio y el servicio a fin de construir el Reino de Dios, presente y futuro. Queremos aprovechar un momento para dar una cálida bienvenida a todos los que nos visitan por primera vez. Ya sea que esté pasando o busque un lugar para adorar, ¡estamos encantados de tenerlo aquí! Si eres nuevo en nuestra parroquia o no te has registrado con nosotros, te animamos a que pases por nuestra oficina para que podamos ayudarte a hacer de St. Rita tu hogar parroquial. CORRESPONSABILIDAD El regalo del tiempo: Asista a la misa todos los

domingos y días santos. Pasa tiempo en la oración todos los días. Pasa tiempo ayudando a los necesitados. El don del talento: Hágase activo en los ministe-

rios parroquiales. permanezca abierto a nuevos ministerios y evento parroquiales. Enseñe a sus hijos a involucrarse en ministerios El regalo del tesoro: Haga un regalo mone-

tario intencional, concienzudo y en oración cada semana o mes. Utilice sobres de ofertorio 6 | IGLESIA CATOLICA DE STA RITA

Los días 23 y 24 de junio de 2018, nuestra Diócesis tomará la colección Peter's Pence. A través de nuestra respuesta a este llamamiento, vamos a permitir al Papa Francisco ofrecer asistencia de emergencia a los que sufren debido a la guerra, la opresión y los desastres naturales.

Por SU seguridad, recomendamos a todos nuestros feligreses que usen el Cruce peatonal cuando crucen la calle Churchward. Las luces intermitentes sirven como advertencia para los conductores, que los peatones están cruzando. Para solicitar una intención de la Misa, por favor llene el formulario ubicado en el vestíbulo de la Iglesia y devuélvalo con su donación a la oficina de la rectoría. Por favor recuerde: La solicitud debe ser recibida con 8 días de anticipación para ser incluida en la misa y 12 días de anticipación para ser incluida en la misa y publicada en el boletín. Excepto durante un fin de semana de día de fiesta, en donde debe ser recibido 3 semanas por adelantado. Gracias. Ayúdenos a mantener nuestra iglesia limpia y bonita. Tome un poco de su tiempo antes de salir de misa y recoja su basura y ponga los misales en su lugar.

NOTICIAS HISPANAS MEDITACION DEL EVANGELIO Muchas veces los maestros de las escuelas y los catequistas de las parroquias llevan a cabo la dinámica de invitar a sus alumnos a plantar una semillita de frijol en un pequeño vaso lleno de tierra. Todos los días los niños cuidan y observan cuidadosamente la semilla hasta que brota la planta. Y al verla crecer se llenan de contento. En las lecturas de hoy encontramos algo similar a esta dinámica. Jesús nos asegura que la semilla crece por sí misma con impresionante vitalidad. "Escuchen esta comparación del Reino de Dios. Un hombre esparce la semilla en la tierra, y ya duerma o esté despierto, sea de noche, o de día, la semilla brota y crece, sin que él sepa cómo" (Mc. 4:26). En el Evangelio, Jesús dice palabras que ayudan al corazón de cada persona a crecer sembrando el bien en dondequiera que se encuentre. Las parábolas son una directa invitación a la esperanza, a no perder el ánimo de sembrar a pesar del desaliento que muchas veces afecta a los sembradores. Papás, mamás, maestros, catequistas y, en fin, todos los trabajadores que día a día luchan por una sociedad más justa. Jesús hoy nos reta a todos a dejar el desánimo y seguir evangelizando, dialogando y guiando a nuestros hijos, alumnos, amigos y familia. Aunque parezca que la semilla no da fruto, Dios se encarga de que germine en cada corazón. ¿Cómo sientes que germina la Palabra de Dios en tu vida? ¿Cómo respondes ante el desánimo de seguir esparciendo el bien? La Palabra de Dios nos alienta a ser fieles y tener plena confianza en él. ¡No lo defraudemos, sigamos luchando por la justicia!
