Today’s Gospel passage is a powerful invitation from Jesus. “Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest.”

In life, we can be presented with the lie that gives us the impression that we are all alone. It reveals itself when we express thoughts like this, “I have to figure out this situation all by myself.” Too often, we can feel overwhelmed by the circumstances in our life. We feel the pressure to have to fix a difficult situation. We feel frustrated because no one wants to help. We are burdened by our responsibilities. We are tempted to feel all alone.

Jesus wants us to hear His Word. Jesus invites us to bring him our struggles, our worries, our fears and our burdens. When we find ourselves experiencing these negative thoughts, STOP! Turn to Jesus. Take a moment and picture Jesus present to you. Use your imagination or an icon or an image of Jesus that you find comforting. Make an act of faith, “Jesus, I know you never abandon me. You are here with me. I feel overwhelmed because ______.” Take a moment and tell Jesus what your difficulties are. Be specific. Jesus, I feel overwhelmed. Jesus, I feel lost. Jesus, I am scared. Jesus, I am frustrated about this situation.

If we take a moment to take a deep breath and to speak to Jesus, He listens. Then, it is important to remember, give Him time to speak. In other words, be still and listen. He will bring you calm. He will bring you the rest that you need in that moment. He will remind you that He is in charge. Let him carry the weight of your burden. Allow Jesus to lead you. He never abandons us. This is central to our faith.

I recently heard a great line from a talk that I would like to share with you: “Talk to Jesus like a living person and you will receive a living response.” May the gift of Faith, Hope and Love continue to grow as we speak and listen to our Lord.

Have a great week!

Fr. Keith

Parish Prayer for the month of July

Prayer to Overcome Racism

Mary, friend and mother to all, through your

Son, God has found a way to unite himself to every human being, called to be one

people, sisters and brothers to each other.

We ask for your help in calling on your Son, seeking forgiveness for the times when we

have failed to love and respect one another.

We ask for your help in obtaining from your Son the grace we need to overcome the evil

of racism and to build a just society.

We ask for your help in following your Son, so that prejudice and animosity will no longer

infect our minds or hearts but will be replaced with a love that respects the dignity

of each person.

Mother of the Church, the Spirit of your Son Jesus warms our hearts: pray for us.

Amen.

Notas del Pastor El pasaje del Evangelio de hoy es una poderosa invitación de Jesús. "Vengan a mí, todos ustedes que trabajan y están agobiados, y les daré descanso".

En la vida, se nos puede presentar la mentira que nos da la impresión de que estamos solos. Se revela cuando expresamos pensamientos como este: "Tengo que resolver esta situación yo solo". Con demasiada frecuencia, podemos sentirnos abrumados por las circunstancias en nuestra vida. Sentimos la presión de tener que arreglar una situación difícil. Nos sentimos frustrados porque nadie quiere ayudar. Estamos agobiados por nuestras responsabilidades. Estamos tentados a sentirnos solos.

Jesús quiere que escuchemos Su palabra. Jesús nos invita a traerle nuestras luchas, nuestras preocupaciones, nuestros miedos y nuestras cargas. Cuando nos encontremos experimentando estos pensamientos negativos, ¡DETÉNGASE! Vuélvase a Jesús. Tómese un momento e imagine a Jesús presente para usted. Use su imaginación o un icono o una imagen de Jesús que encuentre reconfortante. Haz un acto de fe: “Jesús, sé que nunca me abandonas. Estas aquí conmigo Me siento abrumado porque ______ ". Tómese un momento y dígale a Jesús cuáles son sus dificultades. Sea específico. Jesús, me siento abrumado. Jesús, me siento perdido. Jesús, tengo miedo. Jesús, estoy frustrado por esta situación.

Si nos tomamos un momento para respirar profundamente y hablar con Jesús, Él escucha. Entonces, es importante recordar, darle tiempo para hablar. En otras palabras, quédate quieto y escucha. Él te traerá la calma. Él te traerá el descanso que necesitas en ese momento. Él te recordará que Él está a cargo. Deja que cargue con el peso de tu carga. Deja que Jesús te guíe. Él nunca nos abandona. Esto es central para nuestra fe.

Recientemente escuché una gran frase de una charla que me gustaría compartir con ustedes: "Hablen con Jesús como una persona viva y recibirán una respuesta viva". Que el don de Fe, Esperanza y Amor continúe creciendo mientras hablamos y escuchamos a nuestro Señor.

¡Que tenga una gran semana! P. Keith

Oración parroquial para el mes de Julio

Oración para superar el racismo

María, amiga y madre de todos, a través de tu Hijo Dios ha encontrado un camino para

unirse a todos los seres humanos, llamados a ser un solo pueblo, hermanas y hermanos

entre sí.

Pedimos tu ayuda al recurrir a tu Hijo, buscando el perdón por las veces en que hemos fallado en amarnos y respetarnos.

Pedimos tu ayuda para obtener de tu Hijo la gracia que necesitamos para vencer el mal del racismo y construir una sociedad justa.

Pedimos tu ayuda para seguir a tu Hijo, para que el prejuicio y la animosidad no infecten

ya nuestras mentes o corazones sino que sean reemplazados por el amor que respeta

la dignidad de cada persona.

Madre de la Iglesia, el Espíritu de tu Hijo Jesús alienta nuestros corazones: Ruega por

nosotros.

Amén.

Reading 1 ZEC 9:9-10 Thus says the LORD: Rejoice heartily, O daughter Zion, shout for joy, O daughter Jerusalem! See, your king shall come to you; a just savior is he, meek, and riding on an ass, on a colt, the foal of an ass. He shall banish the chariot from Ephraim, and the horse from Jerusalem; the warrior’s bow shall be banished, and he shall proclaim peace to the nations. His dominion shall be from sea to sea, and from the River to the ends of the earth.

Responsorial Psalm PS 145:1-2, 8-9, 10-11, 13-14 R. (cf. 1) I will praise your name for ever, my king and my God. or: R. Alleluia. I will extol you, O my God and King, and I will bless your name forever and ever. Every day will I bless you, and I will praise your name forever and ever. R. I will praise your name for ever, my king and my God. or: R. Alleluia. The LORD is gracious and merciful, slow to anger and of great kindness. The LORD is good to all and compassionate toward all his works. R. I will praise your name for ever, my king and my God. or: R. Alleluia. Let all your works give you thanks, O LORD, and let your faithful ones bless you. Let them discourse of the glory of your kingdom and speak of your might. R. I will praise your name for ever, my king and my God. or: R. Alleluia. The LORD is faithful in all his words and holy in all his works. The LORD lifts up all who are falling and raises up all who are bowed down. R. I will praise your name for ever, my king and my God. or: R. Alleluia.

Reading 2 ROM 8:9, 11-13 Brothers and sisters: You are not in the flesh; on the contrary, you are in the spirit, if only the Spirit of God dwells in you. Whoever does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him. If the Spirit of the one who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, the one who raised Christ from the dead will give life to your mortal bodies also, through his Spirit that dwells in you. Consequently, brothers and sisters, we are not debtors to the flesh, to live according to the flesh. For if you live according to the flesh, you will die, but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.

Alleluia CF. MT 11:25 R. Alleluia, alleluia. Blessed are you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth; you have revealed to little ones the mysteries of the kingdom. R. Alleluia, alleluia.

Gospel MT 11:25-30 At that time Jesus exclaimed: “I give praise to you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, for although you have hidden these things from the wise and the learned you have revealed them to little ones. Yes, Father, such has been your gracious will. All things have been handed over to me by my Father. No one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and anyone to whom the Son wishes to reveal him.”

“Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am meek and humble of heart; and you will find rest for yourselves. For my yoke is easy, and my burden light.”

Primera lectura Zac 9, 9-10 Esto dice el Señor: “Alégrate sobremanera, hija de Sión; da gritos de júbilo, hija de Jerusalén; mira a tu rey que viene a ti, justo y victorioso, humilde y montado en un burrito.

Él hará desaparecer de la tierra de Efraín los carros de guerra, y de Jerusalén, los caballos de combate. Romperá el arco del guerrero y anunciará la paz a las naciones. Su poder se extenderá de mar a mar y desde el gran río hasta los últimos rincones de la tierra’’.

Salmo Responsorial Salmo 144, 1-2. 8-9. 10-11. 13cd-14 R. (1) Acuérdate, Señor, de tu misericordia. Dios y rey mío, yo te alabaré, bendeciré tu nombre siempre y para siempre. Un día tras otro bendeciré tu nombre y no cesará mi boca de alabarte. R. Acuérdate, Señor, de tu misericordia. El Señor es compasivo y misericordioso, lento para enojarse y generoso para perdonar. Bueno es el Señor para con todos y su amor se extiende a todas sus creaturas. R. Acuérdate, Señor, de tu misericordia. El Señor es siempre fiel a sus palabras, y lleno de bondad en sus acciones. Da su apoyo el Señor al que tropieza y al agobiado alivia. R. Acuérdate, Señor, de tu misericordia. Que te alaben, Señor, todas tus obras, y que todos tus fieles te bendigan. Que proclamen la gloria de tu reino y den a conocer tus maravillas. R. Acuérdate, Señor, de tu misericordia.

Segunda lectura Rom 8, 9. 11-13 Hermanos: Ustedes no viven conforme al desorden egoísta del hombre, sino conforme al Espíritu, puesto que el Espíritu de Dios habita verdaderamente en ustedes. Quien no tiene el Espíritu de Cristo, no es de Cristo. Si el Espíritu del Padre, que resucitó a Jesús de entre los muertos habita en ustedes, entonces el Padre, que resucitó a Jesús de entre los muertos, también les dará vida a sus cuerpos mortales, por obra de su Espíritu, que habita en ustedes.

Por lo tanto, hermanos, no estamos sujetos al desorden egoísta del hombre, para hacer de ese desorden nuestra regla de conducta. Pues si ustedes viven de ese modo, ciertamente serán destruidos. Por el contrario, si con la ayuda del Espíritu destruyen sus malas acciones, entonces vivirán.

Aclamación antes del Evangelio Cfr Mt 11, 25 R. Aleluya, aleluya. Te doy gracias, Padre, Señor del cielo y de la tierra, porque has revelado los misterios del Reino a la gente sencilla. R. Aleluya.

Evangelio Mt 11, 25-30 En aquel tiempo, Jesús exclamó: “¡Te doy gracias, Padre, Señor del cielo y de la tierra, porque has escondido estas cosas a los sabios y entendidos, y las has revelado a la gente sencilla! Gracias, Padre, porque así te ha parecido bien.

El Padre ha puesto todas las cosas en mis manos. Nadie conoce al Hijo sino el Padre; nadie conoce al Padre sino el Hijo y aquel a quien el Hijo se lo quiera revelar.

Vengan a mí, todos los que están fatigados y agobiados por la carga y yo les daré alivio. Tomen mi yugo sobre ustedes y aprendan de mí, que soy manso y humilde de corazón, y encontrarán descanso, porque mi yugo es suave y mi carga, ligera’’.

Prayer to St. Michael the Archangel

St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the Devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray, and do thou, O Prince of the heavenly hosts, by the power of God, thrust into hell Satan, and all the evil spirits, who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.

Oración a San Miguel Arcángel

San Miguel Arcángel, defiéndenos en la batalla. Sé nuestro amparo contra las perversidad y asechanzas del demonio. Reprímale, Dios, pedimos suplicantes, y tu príncipe de la milicia celestial arroja al infierno con el divino poder a Satanás y a los otros espíritus malignos que andan dispersos por el mundo para la perdición de las almas. Amén.

Tips to Protecting Yourself If Someone in Your Home Has Covid-19 Because the total number of cases of COVID-19 in the United States is well over 1 million, it is important for us to be prepared on how to protect ourselves and other family members should someone in our household become diagnosed with COVID-19. While many details and facts about COVID-19 are changing on a daily basis, there are facts that haven’t changed. COVID-19 is primarily spread from person-to-person through respiratory droplets. If you are within a minimum of 6 feet of an ill person, it is likely that you may breathe in some of the respiratory droplets. The droplets occur when someone coughs, sneezes or speaks (these droplets are not visible to the naked eye). Additionally, the droplets may fall onto commonly touched surfaces: cell phones, laptops, desks, door knobs, handles—just to name a few. Then, someone comes along and touches the contaminated surface and unsuspectedly rubs their nose, eyes, or mouth and becomes exposed to COVID-19. If someone in your home becomes ill with COVID-19, it’s important to protect all members of your household from becoming ill as well. Tips to protect yourself and other household members include: y

Separate yourself. Limit contact with the ill person as much as possible—while still caring for the person who is ill. If you can stay in a separate area of the house and use a different bedroom and bathroom, that would be ideal.

Make sure that you have good ventilation—like an open window. Doctors have discovered that the respiratory droplets can linger in the air for several hours.

Separate commonly used items. Items such as dishes, utensils, cups, towels and bedding should be thoroughly washed with hot water and bleach (when appropriate). Use disposable gloves when handling contaminated items. Also, the ill person should use the same items after thoroughly cleaned vs. mixing the items other household members may use.

Use a lined trash can to dispose of the ill person’s trash separately than other trash.

Disinfect and clean frequently. Items to daily disinfect include: countertops, refrigerator handles, tabletops, doorknobs, cabinet and drawer hardware, desks, bedside tables, light switches, remote controls, computer/tablets/keyboards, headphones, cell phones, sink faucets, toilet handles, and soap dispensers. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has a list of cleaning products that are safe to use around the house. Also, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) offers tips on how to effectively clean.

If sharing a bathroom with an ill household member, disinfect the area after each use. Wear a mask and gloves and wait as long as possible before entering to clean the bathroom.

Wear a face mask and gloves when interacting with the ill household member. Also, the ill person should wear a mask when anyone is in their area.

Minimize face-to-face and hand-to-hand contact by placing meals and drinks outside of the door vs. handing the items directly to the ill person.

Maintain open communication with the ill person’s physician. Keep the physician updated on current symptoms to determine if hospitalization is needed.

If you are living with someone who has COVID-19, it’s important to quarantine yourself for a minimum of 14 days.

Monitor your own health for symptoms for COVID-19. * It’s important to stay current with all information and guidance provided by the CDC, your physician, and your local health department. *
