THE RICHNESS OF LIFE IN CHRIST Today we have the beautiful story of the wom-an promised a child, the wonderful exhortation about life in Christ, and a powerful instruction from Jesus. An embarrassment of riches? Not if we take Jesus' words about "welcome" to heart. The many challenges and blessings offered to us today by Elisha, Paul, and Jesus should be cause for re-joicing, and welcomed heartily into our lives. And, like the great treat that they are, they should be en-joyed and shared generously with others. Today's reading from Romans was chosen very early in the liturgical life of the Church to be the sole apostolic instruction received by candidates for baptism at the Easter Vigil. This illustrates its importance as a core belief, and as a means of comprehending the story of the Resurrection. Christ's resurrection is not merely a story about something that he underwent once upon a time, but it is our story, the story of how we joined the other members of the one Body of Christ, the church. We were not only dead, but we were buried; not ultimately buried, but raised to eternal life with Christ. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

First Reading — Elisha promises a baby son to the hospitable woman (2 Kings 4:8-11, 14-16a). Psalm — For ever I will sing the goodness of the Lord (Psalm 89). Second Reading — We shall live in newness of life as Christ was raised from the dead (Romans 6:3-4, 8-11). Gospel — Whoever gives but a cup of cold water to another will surely be rewarded (Matthew 10:37-42). FREEDOM Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves and under a just God cannot long retain it. —Abraham Lincoln

Thirteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time July 2, 2017 Think of yourselves as dead to sin and living for God in Christ Jesus. — Romans 6:11

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION It’s Independence Day week, and there is a link worth tracing between the Declaration of Inde-pendence and the language of liturgy. One of the signers of the Declaration on that July 4 long ago was Charles Carroll, probably the wealthiest man in the colonies and one of the few Catholics on the political scene. As a flourish to his signature, he sought to distinguish himself from other prominent citizens bearing the same name by penning “Charles Carroll of Carrolltown”—a defiant “come and get me if you dare” postscript aimed at the British. Carroll’s brother John was a priest and patriot who in 1789 was given the task of organizing the Catholic Church in this country. By 1791 he had assembled a synod, or assembly of delegates, to launch that task formally. Archbishop Carroll wanted to gain acceptance of our faith by Ameri-can people who mistrusted our customs and could not comprehend our liturgy. He made the amazing proposal to Rome that our liturgy should be prayed not in Latin, but in the vernacular, English. His wish was denied, but one hundred sixty years later, his deep desire helped the American bishops and scholars at the Second Vatican Council to win the vote in favor of the vernacular not just for the Unit-ed States, but for the Church throughout the world. —Rev. James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

LA RIQUEZA DE LA VIDA EN CRISTO Hoy tenemos la preciosa historia de la mujer a quien se le promete un hijo, una maravillosa exhor-tación a la vida en Cristo y una poderosa enseñanza de Jesús. ¿Demasiadas riquezas en una sola dosis? No, si tomamos las palabras de Jesús sobre "ser acogedores" de corazón. Los muchos retos y bendi-ciones que hoy nos ofrecen Eliseo, Pablo, y Jesús deben ser causa de regocijo, y debemos acogerlos de corazón en nuestras vidas. Y, como el gran re-galo que son, deben ser disfrutados y compartidos generosamente con los demás. La lectura de hoy tomada de la carta a los roma-nos fue seleccionada en los comienzos de la vida litúrgica de la Iglesia como instrucción apostólica que debían recibir los candidatos al bautismo duran-te la Vigilia de Pascua. Esto da una idea de su im-portancia como creencia central, y como medio para entender la historia de la resurrección. La resurrec-ción de Cristo no es solamente la historia de algo por lo que él pasó una vez hace tiempo, sino que es nuestra historia, la historia de cómo nos unimos a los otros miembros del Cuerpo de Cristo, la Iglesia. No sólo estábamos muertos, sino enterrados; pero no enterrados para siempre, sino resucitados a la vida eterna en Cristo. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co. LECTURAS DE HOY Primera lectura — La hospitalidad genuina se alaba mucho (2 Reyes 4:8-11, 14-16a). Salmo — Proclamaré sin cesar la misericordia del Señor (Salmo 89 [88]). Segunda lectura — Vivan para Dios en Cristo Je-sús (Romanos 6:3-4, 8-11). Evangelio — El que los recibe a ustedes, a mí me recibe. (Mateo 10:37-42). LIBERTAD Aquellos que niegan a otros la libertad no la merecen para sí, y bajo un Dios que es justo no la disfrutarán por mucho tiempo. —Abraham Lincoln

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE Hace algunos años, el cantante de rock Carlos Santana y el grupo roquero Maná ganaron un pre-mio en los “Latin Grammys” por su canción: “Corazón espinado”. Esta bella canción es de un hombre que lamenta el dolor que una mujer le ha causado. No la puede olvidar, porque ella le ha de-jado el corazón espinado. Esta canción siempre me recuerda al Sagrado Corazón de Jesús, corazón ro-deado por una corona de espinas e inflamado por el amor que le tiene a su mujer, la Iglesia, es decir, nosotros. La devoción al Sagrado Corazón proviene de una monja francesa, santa Margarita María Alaco-que a quien Jesús le mostró su corazón en junio de 1675. Jesús le dijo que su corazón arde de amor por los seres humanos, pero los cristianos sólo lo ofendemos con insultos, ingratitud e indiferencias. ¿Cuántas veces, como Iglesia o como indivi-duos, le hemos espinado el corazón al Señor? Y aun así, la imagen del corazón espinado e inflama-do de Jesús nos sigue cantando y llamando para que seamos suyos. Si regresamos a él, Jesucristo nos promete doce bendiciones de paz, consolación, fervor y otras gracias. —Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.
