PASTOR’S MESSAGE 3<br />

Supreme Court Decisions On Marriage: 'Tragic Day For Marriage And Our Nation,' State U.S. Bishops: WASH-<br />

INGTON— JUNE 26. The U.S. Supreme Court decisions <strong>June</strong> 26 striking down part of the Defense of Marriage Act<br />

<strong>and</strong> refusing to rule on the merits of a challenge to California’s Proposition 8 mark a “tragic day for marriage <strong>and</strong> our<br />

nation,” said Cardinal Timothy Dolan of New York, president of the U.S. Conference of <strong>Catholic</strong> Bishops, <strong>and</strong><br />

Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone of San Francisco, chair of the U.S. bishops’ Subcommittee for the Promotion <strong>and</strong> Defense<br />

of Marriage<br />

The statement follows. “Today is a tragic day for marriage <strong>and</strong> our nation. The Supreme Court has dealt a profound<br />

injustice to the American people by striking down in part the federal Defense of Marriage Act. The Court got it<br />

wrong. The federal government ought to respect the truth that marriage is the union of one man <strong>and</strong> one woman, even<br />

where states fail to do so. The preservation of liberty <strong>and</strong> justice requires that all laws, federal <strong>and</strong> state, respect the<br />

truth, including the truth about marriage. It is also unfortunate that the Court did not take the opportunity to uphold California’s<br />

Proposition 8 but instead decided not to rule on the matter. The common good of all, especially our children,<br />

depends upon a society that strives to uphold the truth of marriage. Now is the time to redouble our efforts in witness to<br />

this truth. These decisions are part of a public debate of great consequence. The future of marriage <strong>and</strong> the well-being of<br />

our society hang in the balance. “Marriage is the only institution that brings together a man <strong>and</strong> a woman for life, providing<br />

any child who comes from their union with the secure foundation of a mother <strong>and</strong> a father.<br />

“Our culture has taken for granted for far too long what human nature, experience, common sense, <strong>and</strong> God’s<br />

wise design all confirm: the difference between a man <strong>and</strong> a woman matters, <strong>and</strong> the difference between a mom <strong>and</strong> a<br />

dad matters. While the culture has failed in many ways to be marriage-strengthening, this is no reason to give up. Now<br />

is the time to strengthen marriage, not redefine it. “When Jesus taught about the meaning of marriage – the lifelong, exclusive<br />

union of husb<strong>and</strong> <strong>and</strong> wife – he pointed back to “the beginning” of God’s creation of the human person as male<br />

<strong>and</strong> female (see Matthew 19). In the face of the customs <strong>and</strong> laws of his time, Jesus taught an unpopular truth that everyone<br />

could underst<strong>and</strong>. The truth of marriage endures, <strong>and</strong> we will continue to boldly proclaim it with confidence <strong>and</strong><br />

charity. “Now that the Supreme Court has issued its decisions, with renewed purpose we call upon all of our leaders <strong>and</strong><br />

the people of this good nation to st<strong>and</strong> steadfastly together in promoting <strong>and</strong> defending the unique meaning of marriage:<br />

one man, one woman, for life. We also ask for prayers as the Court’s decisions are reviewed <strong>and</strong> their implications further<br />

clarified.”<br />

Fr. Joseph new appointment: The IVE provincial Superior has appointed Fr. Joseph to become associate pastor in Our<br />

Lady of Peace shrine-parish in Santa Clara, California, effective September 1, <strong>2013</strong>. Fr. Joseph will be leaving Ss <strong>Peter</strong><br />

<strong>and</strong> <strong>Paul</strong> August 19, <strong>2013</strong>. We thank Fr. Joseph for his generous ministry in SSPP during these past years <strong>and</strong> let us<br />

keep him in our prayers that he may continue being a faithful minister of Christ, the Good Shepherd.<br />

Fr. Mariano Varela, IVE<br />

Who Is the Freest?<br />

“The biblical readings today invite us to meditate on a fascinating theme which can be summed up like this: ‘freedom <strong>and</strong> following<br />

Christ.’ The Evangelist Luke tells us that ‘as the time approached when he was to be taken from this world,’ Jesus ‘firmly resolved<br />

to proceed toward Jerusalem.’ In the phrase ‘firmly resolved,’ we can glimpse Christ’s freedom.<br />

“Indeed, he knows that in Jerusalem, death on a cross awaits him, but in obedience to the Father’s will, he offers himself for love. It<br />

is in his very obedience to the Father that Jesus achieves his own freedom as a conscious decision motivated by love.<br />

“Who is freer than the One who is the Almighty? He did not, however, live his freedom as an arbitrary power or as domination. He<br />

lived it as a service. In this way he ‘filled’ freedom with content, which would otherwise have remained an ‘empty’ possibility of<br />

doing or not doing something.<br />

“Like human life itself, freedom draws its meaning from love. Indeed, who is the freest? Someone who selfishly keeps all possibilities<br />

open for fear of losing them, or someone who expends himself ‘firmly resolved’ to serve <strong>and</strong> thereby finds himself full of<br />

life because of the love he has given <strong>and</strong> received?<br />

“It may seem a paradox, but the Lord lived the crowning point of his freedom on the Cross as a summit of love. When they shouted<br />

at him on Calvary: ‘If you are the Son of God, come down from the Cross!’ he showed his freedom as the Son precisely by remaining<br />

on that scaffold, to do the Father’s merciful will to the very end. “Other witnesses to the truth have shared this experience,<br />

men <strong>and</strong> women who showed that they remained free even in a prison cell <strong>and</strong> under the threat of torture. ‘The truth will set you<br />

free.’ Those who side with the truth will never be slaved of any power but will always make themselves freely servants of their<br />

brothers <strong>and</strong> sisters. written by Pope Benedict XVI, “Angelus” July 01, 2007.<br />

PHÚC ÂM: Lc 9, 51-62<br />

"Người cương quyết lên đường đi Giêrusalem. Dù Thầy đi đâu, tôi<br />

cũng sẽ theo Thầy".<br />

Tin Mừng Chúa Giêsu Kitô theo Thánh Luca.<br />

Vì gần tới thời gian Chúa Giêsu phải cất khỏi đời này, Người cương<br />

quyết lên đường đi Giêrusalem, và sai những người đưa tin đi trước<br />

Người. Những người này lên đường vào một làng Samaria để chuẩn<br />

bị mọi sự cho Người. Nhưng ở đó người ta không đón tiếp Người, bởi<br />

Người đi lên Giêrusalem. Thấy vậy, hai môn đệ Giacôbê và Gioan<br />

thưa Người rằng: "Lạy Thầy, Thầy muốn chúng con khiến lửa bởi trời<br />

xuống thiêu huỷ chúng không?" Nhưng Người quay lại, quở trách các<br />

ông rằng: "Các con không biết thần trí nào xúi giục mình. Con Người<br />

đến, không phải để giết, nhưng để cứu chữa người ta". Và các Ngài đi<br />

tới một làng khác.<br />

Đang khi đi đường có kẻ thưa Người rằng: "Dù Thầy đi đâu tôi cũng<br />

sẽ theo Thầy". Chúa Giêsu bảo người ấy rằng: "Con chồn có hang,<br />

chim trời có tổ, Con Người không có chỗ gối đầu". Người bảo một kẻ<br />

khác rằng: "Hãy theo Ta". Người ấy thưa: "Xin cho phép tôi đi chôn<br />

cha tôi trước đã". Nhưng Người đáp: "Hãy để kẻ chết chôn kẻ chết;<br />

phần con, hãy đi rao giảng Nước Thiên Chúa". Một người khác thưa<br />

Người rằng: "Lạy Thầy, tôi sẽ theo Thầy, nhưng cho phép tôi về từ<br />

giã gia đình trước đã". Nhưng Chúa Giêsu đáp: "Ai đã tra tay vào cày<br />

mà còn ngó lại sau lưng, thì không xứng đáng với Nước Thiên Chúa".<br />

Đó là lời Chúa.<br />

The Year I Atrium will be held<br />

Wednesdays 10:45am - 12:00noon<br />

Altar Presentations<br />

The Prepared Environment/The Atrium<br />

• The atrium is one of the elements that helps the relationship between<br />

God <strong>and</strong> the child to flourish. After a theme has been presented, the<br />

child is free to choose an activity that will make possible the inner dialogue<br />

with the “Interior Teacher.”<br />

• The atrium is a place of work which becomes a conversation with God.<br />

• The atrium was the place in the early church where the catechumens<br />

were prepared. For the child, too, the atrium is a place of preparation<br />

for involvement in the larger worshiping community.<br />

the Eucharist, all the enthusiasm of your age, all your hopes, all your desire to love.”<br />

—Pope John <strong>Paul</strong> II<br />

Time of Prayer Includes<br />

• The sign of the cross<br />

• Moments of silence mixed with a few words from Holy Scripture or<br />

meditations to help the adorers listen to Jesus in the silence of their hearts<br />

XIII DOMINGO DEL TIEMPO ORDINARIO <strong>30</strong> de Junio <strong>2013</strong><br />

Muchos me han preguntado sobre el catecismo de los<br />

niños. Cu<strong>and</strong>o empieza? Empezamos la primera semana<br />

de Septiembre. Las subscriciones para el catecismos comenzara<br />

el domingo anterior a las clases de catecismo.<br />

Normalmente son dos años para la primera comunión y<br />

confirmación. Hable primero con los sacerdotes.<br />

EL PRECIO DE LA LIBERTAD<br />

Las lecturas de hoy nos aseguran que si somos<br />

capaces de escapar de nuestras ataduras seremos más<br />

felices, más libres y tendremos más paz. El Evangelio de<br />

Lucas comienza diciendo “Cu<strong>and</strong>o ya se acercaba el<br />

tiempo en que tenía que salir de este mundo, Jesús tomó<br />

la firme determinación de emprender el viaje a Jerusalén”.<br />

Consciente de la resistencia y el peligro que le<br />

esperaban, Jesús siguió adelante.<br />

Naturalmente, unos valientes se brindaron a<br />

acompañarlo. Pero Jesús les advirtió. ¿Serían capaces de<br />

romper sus ataduras con sus casas, posesiones, amigos y<br />

familias, de ab<strong>and</strong>onar sus responsabilidades normales?<br />

Un duro reto, pero no sin precedentes. Siglos antes, Elías<br />

criticó a Eliseo por pedirle tiempo para ir a despedirse de<br />

sus padres antes de seguir a Elías.<br />

¿A dónde llevaría a Eliseo ese camino? ¿O a los<br />

seguidores de Jesús? ¿O a nosotros? Nos dice Pablo:<br />

“Cristo nos ha liberado para que seamos libres. Conserven,<br />

pues, la libertad y no se sometan de nuevo al yugo<br />

de la esclavitud”. El resultado es la libertad, pero si los<br />

requerimientos no nos dan pausa, entonces es que tal vez<br />

no estamos prest<strong>and</strong>o suficiente atención.<br />

WHY IS IT<br />

A man wakes up after sleeping<br />

under an ADVERTISED blanket<br />

on an ADVERTISED mattress<br />

<strong>and</strong> pulls off ADVERTISED pajamas<br />

bathes in an ADVERTISED shower<br />

shaves with an ADVERTISED razor<br />

brushes his teeth<br />

with ADVERTISED toothpaste<br />

washes with ADVERTISED soap<br />

puts on ADVERTISED clothes<br />

drinks a cup<br />

of ADVERTISED coffee<br />

drives to work<br />

in an ADVERTISED car<br />

<strong>and</strong> then . . . .<br />

refuses to ADVERTISE<br />

believing it doesn’t pay.<br />

Later if business is poor<br />

he ADVERTISES it for sale.<br />

WHY IS IT?<br />
