Today, Ezekiel sees God lifting up the lowly tree and making the withered tree bloom. So in the second parable of today’s Gospel, Jesus encourages us by promising that, as fragile seeds grow into an abundant harvest, and the tiny mustard seed into a hearty plant, so God will grow the kingdom from small beginnings to an instrument of salvation for all. In the first parable, the land yields fruit “of its own accord” (Mark 4:28). Not only is the initiative God’s, but the parable teaches that the seed’s growth, though invisible at first, is actually unstoppable! To be sure, those who depend on the impressive or dramatic in order to be convinced or encouraged will be disappointed in the slow unfolding of the kingdom that Jesus announces. But for those who do accept the kingdom, all is grace, and that grace is certain. Though the second reading is not coordinated with either the first reading or Gospel on these Sundays, today’s is thematically appropriate. Saint Paul argues that our experience of God’s trustworthiness thus far should make us a people of undaunted courage and unshakeable faith. But at the same time Paul warns that faith should also make us aware of our responsibility to do good. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
PASS A GOOD TIME In Louisiana’s Cajun country, folks invite one another over to “pass a good time, cher.” We who are church are here to pass a good time, to tend to one another, to tend to God’s good earth and our good gardens. We are here to be wide awake to God’s saving time within all and through all. We pass a good time here but once, however, so we must take time to proclaim God’s timeless faithfulness through summer’s short nights and to sing of God’s endless kindness at summer’s fresh new dawn. We must give ourselves and others the time to grow and prosper under the watchful eye of God, who, as an old prayer reminds us, dwells with us in time “beyond the region of thunder, in a land that is always peaceful, always serene and bright with . . . resplendent glory.” Today’s Readings: Ez 17:22–24; Ps 92:2–3, 13–14, 15–16; 2 Cor 5:6–10; Mk 4:26–34 Copyright © J.

My first Mass as a Deacon in the seminary’s chapel.
Allow me to offer my sincere thanks to the parish for the warm welcome I’ve received since arriving for my summer assignment. My seminary studies have allowed just a few visits to Incarnation over the last four years and so it is a joy to reconnect with so many people. Since I entered the seminary at a later stage in life, I attend Pope St. John XXIII National Seminary in Weston, Massachusetts just outside of Boston. Priests from the Archdiocese of Boston staff the institution but their mission is to form and train priests for dioceses throughout the country. Bishop Lynch is one of their graduates! This past year over 60 men, ranging in ages from 32 to nearly 70, studied with me.
You can learn more about the seminary at www.psjs.edu. If you’d like to gain a glimpse into seminary life, I keep a blog that allows me to share some of the day-today events and reflections on my spiritual journey. There are, for instance, a few posts discussing the physical challenges and spiritual rewards of climbing New England mountains in winter! The blog is at yarnellseminary.blogspot.com. Deacon Kevin
College, Life, and Faith – an open discussion June 14th and 21st, 7:00pm - 8:30pm, St. John’s Room
We’d like to provide an opportunity for college students or soon to be college students to connect with others and discuss some of the challenges that face young adults during this time in their lives. Deacon Kevin will lead the discussions. You don’t have to be a “super Catholic” to attend – all are welcome. Feel free to bring questions, join in the discussion, or just listen to the experience of others. Free food as well! More info: Deacon Kevin – kayarnell@hotmail.com

Church of the Incarnation
Undécimo Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario 14 de junio de 2015 Plantados en la casa del Señor, en medio de sus atrios los justos darán flores. — Salmo 92 (91):14
Domingo 14 de Junio de 2015. Reflexionando la Palabra de Dios Casi todo nos invita hoy a vivir bajo el signo de la actividad y el rendimiento. Siempre se termina por medir al hombre por su capacidad de producción. En el fondo de nuestra conciencia moderna existe la convicción de que, para dar el máximo sentido y plenitud a nuestra vida, lo único importante es trabajar por sacarle el máximo rendimiento y utilidad. Son muchos los que, sin darse cuenta, que el hombre no es más que lo que hace. Pero, entonces, no deberíamos olvidar dos graves peligros que amenazan al hombre actual. El primero consiste en ahogarnos en el trabajo y el activismo. Sobrevalorando nuestro poder y nuestro obrar, terminamos por creernos indispensables, pues, en el fondo, pensamos que somos nosotros los que tenemos que hacerlo todo.
813-885-7861
Para meditar La semilla que Jesús siembra en nosotros es la misma Palabra de Dios, ¡eficaz! ♦ una palabra que creo el mundo ♦ una palabra que curó al leproso ♦ una palabra que resucitó a Lázaro ♦ una palabra que perdonó a la Magdalena y al ladrón El Señor nos pide que tengamos confianza en su semilla, que: ♦ no la ahoguemos con demasiada agua ♦ no la quememos a fuerza de abono ♦ no la metamos prisa con impaciencias ♦ no exijamos fruto a destiempo.
El segundo peligro es hundirnos en el pesimismo y la resignación, al descubrir nuestra propia incapacidad y quedar aplastados por una tarea que nos desborda. El que solamente pone el sentido de su vida en la lucha, el trabajo y la acción eficaz, corre el riesgo de sentirse inútil y desaprovechado en el momento en que sus esfuerzos no se ven coronados por el éxito. Al hombre moderno se le hace difícil y confusa esa parábola extraña de Jesús, donde se nos habla de una semilla que crece por sí sola sin que el labrador le proporcione con su trabajo la fuerza para germinar y crecer. Es una parábola que no se presta a aplicaciones prácticas ni nos dice lo que tenemos que hacer. Sólo nos recuerda que en la semilla hay algo que no ha puesto el labrador. Una fuerza vital que no se debe al esfuerzo del hombre. Esclavos de programaciones y afanes organizativos y cogidos por la actividad de cada día, podemos olvidar que la vida está impregnada de gracia y que nuestra primera ocupación es respetar y acoger la acción del Espíritu capaz de hacer crecer nuestra existencia. La vida no se reduce a actividad y trabajo. En su misterio más profundo la vida es regalo y don. Lo gratuito nos envuelve. Y el hombre no es sólo trabajador sino también cantor del resplandor de Dios. Por eso, el estado de ánimo propio del creyente no es la lucha y el esfuerzo sino la admiración maravillada y el gozo agradecido. Dios sigue sembrando en los corazones de muchas personas la inquietud por cómo están las cosas, la esperanza en un futuro mejor, el deseo de una vida más digna para todos, son las pequeñas semillas de una nueva humanidad. Habrá que estar atento, acoger todo eso, orar cada una de nuestras acciones, para que verdaderamente sea el reino de Dios el que crezca, para que el fruto que se produzca sea la felicidad para todas las personas, sin distinción. Eso es lo que quiere Dios. Ese es su Reino. P. Jairo

Legión de María Praesídium “Nuestra Señora de la Luz”
Jesús manifiesta su poder mediante el perdón de los pecados (Marcos 2:1-12). Por medio de la reconciliación con Dios, Jesús sana a los enfermos, marginalizados y hasta sus propios enemigos. Este poder de perdonar pecados Jesús mismo lo encarga a su Iglesia, infundiendo su Espíritu sobre los primeros discípulos (Juan 20:22-23). Según el Símbolo (Credo) de los Apóstoles, los cristianos creemos en el “perdón de los pecados”. Esta creencia se relaciona con creer en el Espíritu Santo, la Iglesia, la comunión de los santos, la resurrección del cuerpo y la vida eterna. En el perdón de los pecados, el Espíritu Santo manifiesta su continua presencia y acción en la Iglesia y comunión de los santos. Quienes reciben el perdón de los pecados mediante la celebración del Bautismo o el sacramento de la Reconciliación, están preparados para la resurrección y la vida eterna.
La Legión de María es una asociación de hombres y mujeres católicos, quienes con el permiso de la iglesia y bajo la guía poderosa de María Inmaculada han formado una legión que esta perpetuamente apoyada por la iglesia.
El perdón de los pecados manifiesta el poder de Cristo, del Espíritu Santo y de la Iglesia. Los cristianos estamos llamados al perdón; perdonando, así como deseamos ser perdonados. Perdonando, como Jesucristo.
Estamos al Servicio de Jesús a través de María. Visitamos enfermos en sus hogares, en asilos y hospitales. Acompañamos en funerales y novenarios para difuntos. Visitamos hogares propagando la devoción diaria del Santo Rosario.
HONESTIDAD
Nos reunimos una vez por semana todos los sábados a las 9:30 am en el salón San Francis 2. Para más información llamar a: Priscilla Hatch: 813 600-0208.
La persona con quien es más importante que sea honesta es conmigo mismo.
