I pray these lines find all doing well. I am so excited we got rain, my lawn – which is incredibly small and pitiful is finally coming back to life. A gardener – I am not!!!
This weekend we hear one of my favorite Gospels, but thinking this through I guess they are all really my favorites, LOL. We hear today a wonderful Gospel that I choose to use at all of my funerals, and it is due to a friend of mine who made this Gospel come alive for me. He was battling cancer at the time and so his thoughts of mortality were at the forefront of his mind. He asked me, as his friend and priest if I knew of any place exactly where Jesus specifically speaks about our going up to Heaven when we die. When I gave him this scripture passage, he was able to relax in peace and in joy over this scripture. He became a different person, very relaxed and calm, Jesus called him home about six months later. We, family and friends, were not ready for him to leave us, BUT – he WAS ready to “go home!”
Jesus tells us specifically – do not let your hearts be troubled. This being stated by Jesus should be the, “be all and end all” of any and every worry we may have. He is telling us, do not be worried about death, everything else in our lives certainly falls short of this. This having been stated, if you are worried about anything in your life then you have not handed the situation over to Jesus yet – no better time than the present!
God Bless You!
Love, Fr. Mike

TODAY’S READINGS
First Reading: So the Twelve called together the community of the disciples and said, "It is not right for us to neglect the word of God to serve at table. Brothers, select from among you seven reputable men, filled with the Spirit and wisdom, whom we shall appoint to this task, whereas we shall devote ourselves to prayer and to the ministry of the word." (Acts 6:2-4) Psalm: Lord, let your mercy be on us, as we place our trust in you. (Ps 33) Or Alleluia.
Second Reading: You are “a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people of his own, so that you may announce the praises” of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light. (1 Pt 2:9) Gospel: Jesus said to him, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. If you know me, then you will also know my Father.” (Jn 14:6-7)

Rezo para que estas líneas encuentren que todo va bien. Estoy tan emocionado de que lloviera, mi césped, que es increíblemente pequeño y lamentable, finalmente está volviendo a la vida. Un jardinero-no lo soy!!! Este fin de semana escuchamos uno de mis Evangelios favoritos, pero pensándolo bien, supongo que todos son realmente mis favoritos, JAJAJA. Hoy escuchamos un Evangelio maravilloso que yo uso en todas mis funerales, y se debe a un amigo mío que hizo que ese Evangelio me diera vida. El estaba luchando contra el cáncer en ese momento, y sus pensamientos sobre la mortalidad estaban en su mente. Me preguntó, como un amigo y sacerdote, si sabía de algún lugar exactamente donde Jesús habla específicamente sobre nuestra subida al Cielo cuando morimos. Cuando le di este pasaje de las Escrituras, pudo relajarse en paz y en alegría por esta escritura. Se convirtió en una persona diferente, muy relajado y tranquilo, Jesús lo llamó a casa unos seis meses después. Nosotros, familiares y amigos, no estábamos listos para que él nos dejara, PERO-él estaba listo para " ir a casa!” Jesús nos dice específicamente: no dejen que sus corazones se turben. Esta declaración por Jesús debería de ser el "todo y terminar con todo" de cualquier preocupación que podamos tener. Él nos está diciendo, no te preocupes por la muerte, todo lo demás en nuestras vidas ciertamente llega corto de esto. Habiendo dicho esto, si estás preocupado por algo en tu vida, entonces aún no le has entregado la situación a Jesús, ¡no hay mejor momento que el presente!
¡Que Dios los bendigan!
