for boys. He studied piano at the University of Arkansas, the University

Master’s Degree in piano performance he worked as a freelance
composer, accompanist, and teacher in various capacities. Some of his
compositions for piano and voice were published by Concordia

MASSES FOR JULY 4, 2018
THERE WILL BE TWO MASSES:

RICH SOIL
Our souls must be like rich soil. This is a familiar image from Scripture, but it’s an image that is worth spending much time
with in meditation. Rich soil in our souls is not easy to obtain. It’s much easier to be dry, thorny, rocky and unwelcoming
soil. But to foster within us a true richness and fertile soil requires much care and attention. How is this done?
One of the most important places to begin, so as to create rich soil within our souls, is to strive for true humility. Humility is
ultimately all about seeing the truth of who we are and, specifically, seeing the need for the grace of God in our lives. The
humble admission that we are powerless without the grace of God is essential to creating rich soil within.
From there, we must come to a point of total trust in God. When we first humble ourselves and recognize our total need for
God, we will be in a position to trust Him when He speaks. And when He does speak, we will listen and obey with joy. Only
then can the good fruit of His mercy be poured into our lives and, through us, into the lives of others.
Reflect, today, upon your interior life. What is there? Is it more like dry rocky ground? Or do you regularly seek to nourish
your soul and prepare it to receive the holy Word of God? Seek to create a fertile disposition within and the Lord will take
care of bearing good fruit in your life.
NEW BEGINNINGS - Throughout his life, St. Francis de Sales—bishop, educator, renowned Catholic Reformation figure
and Doctor of the Church—perhaps felt more deeply than anyone the pressing need for new, daily beginnings, and the
overwhelming possibilities for failure or at least difficulty that bordered the path God led him on during this turbulent period
in history. As we face a new beginning, well aware of our own weaknesses and the challenges of life, his mild words might
seem almost too kind! Have patience? Patience with ourselves? Yet if we remember that St. Francis was in a far greater
position to be discouraged and impatient with his own failings, we might realize he meant his words for us as much as he did
for anyone. We have to realize that—no matter what chaos happened yesterday, or in what form of disorganized aftermath we
find ourselves today—every new group of twenty-four hours is given to us as a fresh opportunity to better ourselves and our
efforts. We don’t have to be—and shouldn’t be—bogged down by what has happened, or what we need to fix and make
better. God always wants to help us advance from where we are to a place of improvement.
Inspired by St. Francis de Sales, we should remember to be encouraged and motivated at the beginning of each new day,
because it has been given to us by God to improve on yesterday—and with His help, avoiding impatience and
discouragement, we can set about remedying our imperfections!

Fórmula secreta para sacarse la lotería
Un hombre pobre oyó hablar de las maravillas que hacía San
Juan Bosco y corrió en su busca para preguntarle algo muy
importante: "La fórmula para sacarse la lotería."
Este hombre quería que San Juan Bosco le dijera qué
números debía escoger al comprar el billete.
San Juan Bosco meditó un rato y luego le contestó con plena
seguridad:
"Los números mágicos para que Ud. Se saque la lotería son estos: 10 -7- 14. Puede conseguirlos en cualquier orden y se la sacará". El hombre se llenó de alegría y ya se despedía para salir
corriendo a comprar el billete, cuando el santo, tomándolo
del brazo le dijo sonriente: "
"Un momento, que todavía no le he explicado bien los números ni le he dicho de qué clase de lotería se trata. Mire: estos números significan lo siguiente": "10" significa que usted debe cumplir los Diez
Mandamientos;
"7" significa que usted debe recibir con frecuencia los sacramentos;
"14" significa que usted debe practicar las 14 obras de
misericordia, tanto las corporales como las espirituales.
San Juan Bosco luego le dijo: Si usted cumple estas tres condiciones se va a sacar la más estupenda de todas las loterías: "la gloria eterna del cielo".!El hombre comprendió y en vez de irse a buscar al lotero,
fue al asilo a llevar una limosna.
Invierte todo tu corazón en esos números y serás
verdaderamente feliz aquí en la tierra y en el cielo.
Cada día es una oportunidad para cerrar la puerta al pasado y experimentar un nuevo comienzo. Aún el hecho de que Dios
dividió los días en segmentos de 24 horas es una evidencia
de que nosotros necesitamos comenzar una y otra vez de
manera regular. Siempre hay un nuevo día, un nuevo mes y
un año nuevo. Pero el fin es que nosotros podamos hacer un
buen uso de estos nuevos comienzos.
DIOS, VERDADERAMENTE, HACE NUEVAS
TODAS LAS COSAS.
“Porque he aquí que yo crearé nuevos cielos y nueva
tierra; y de lo primero no habrá memoria, ni más vendrá al
pensamiento.” (Is. 65:17)
