17 de junio de 2015 11º domingo del Tiempo Ordinario "Porque es necesario que todos nosotros comparez-camos ante el tribunal de Cristo, para que cada uno reciba el bien o el mal, según lo que haya hecho en el cuerpo". - CORINTIOS 5:10 Todos somos responsables de los dones que Dios nos ha dado: nuestro tiempo, nuestro talento y nuestro tesoro. Cada uno de nosotros es responsable no solo de nuestra propia vida sino también de la vida de los demás. Un día Dios nos preguntará a cada uno de nosotros qué hicimos con los dones que recibimos. ¿Cómo responderás?

THE MASTER STORYTELLER In today’s Gospel, Jesus is presented to us as the master storyteller. He loved to use parables as a tool for comparing one thing to something else. In most of his parables, Jesus revealed who God is by comparing God’s essence or actions with something familiar to his listeners. In the parable of the mustard seed, Jesus pro-claims a marvelous and irrefutable truth. His small band of disciples, as insignificant as they may have felt, would one day produce a mighty kingdom whose growth was initiated by God. The seeds of this king-dom were planted by God and it is God who will har-vest the fruit brought forth from those seeds. The extent of the growth of God’s kingdom cannot be predicted. We must trust the work of the Master’s hand as we, the mustard plant, grow and grow. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

They that are planted in the house of the Lord shall flourish in the courts of our God. —Psalm 92:14

Please Remember in Prayer

A time of war, and a time of peace: We pray for those that serve in our military

COL Brian Healy, TSGT Brian A. Lafond, SGT. Shawn Brown, SSGT. Steven Liebl, A1C Cameron Rahn, E3 Steven Talick Jr. Protect and guide our men and women in uniform, strengthen them in their trials. Give them courage to face the perils which beset them; and grant them a sense of your abiding presence wherever they may be, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION The reign of God comes about because people commit to reversing their lives completely, to embracing new vi-sion, new values. Many popular television shows exploit an unattractive side of human nature by pitting contest-ants against one another, even to the point of performing dangerous stunts or devious schemes, to gain money or favor. At the liturgy, we counter that impulse by committing ourselves to live generously. In response to Christ’s total gift, we offer bread and wine as the emblems of our lives, our hopes, our joys and sorrows. The bread and wine car-ried to the altar contain our lives, and by offering our lives to God, we prepare to receive the gift of God’s own life. We are to become what we receive: the body of Christ. On Sundays, this self‑giving is often accompanied by a collection and procession of gifts for the poor and money for the upkeep of the parish. There are certainly other methods of collecting money, some perhaps more effi-cient. Yet the acts of giving from our abundance and at-tending to the needs of the poor open us up to participa-tion in the changes the Reign of God requires.
