The Scriptures of the Fourteenth Sunday remind us that announcing the Good News of the Kingdom by words, deeds and life is not the task of only a few. Rather, it is a task for all baptized Christians. In the first reading, Isaiah sees the city of Jerusa-lem as the prototype of the rejoicing Church—the Church who comforts her children, “as a mother comforts her baby son.” He assures his listeners that they live in the certainty of Yahweh’s promises of love, protection, prosperity and salvation. In the second reading (Galatians 6: 14-18), Paul clearly teaches that it was Jesus’ death on the cross which brings one salvation and not a Jewish heritage. He reminds us that every Christian is called to be a “new creature,” and that the mission of each member of the Church is to bear witness to the saving power of the cross of Christ through a life of sacrificial, self-giving service. The Gospel, taken from the Gospel of Luke, describes, in Jesus’ commissioning of 72 disciples to preach the Gospel in towns and villages in preparation for his visit, the fulfillment of the prophetic promise made by Isaiah. He gives them “travel tips” for their missionary jour-ney. They must be walking witnesses of God’s providence by relying on the hospitality of others, living very simple lives, preaching the Good News and healing the sick. Today’s Gospel reminds us that the 1.5 billion Christians in the world today have the same mission to preach the Gospel of Christ to the other 4.5 billion non-Christians. We need to continue the preaching mission: Just as Jesus, in today’s Gospel, gave instructions to the seventy-two missionaries, he also gives each one of us a mission to carry out. As faithful Chris-tians, we should attract others to the Faith by lead-ing exemplary lives, just as a rose attracts people by its beauty and fragrance. This is our job and our responsibility. We must not miss the current oppor-tunities to be apostles through our words and deeds in everyday life. We need to avoid giving the counter-witness of practicing the “supermarket Catholicism” of our politicians who publicly proclaim their “Catholicism” and yet support abortion, gay marriage, human cloning and experimentation with human embryos. Nor should we be “armchair Catholics,” “cafeteria Catholics” or “Sunday Catho-lics” who bear counter-witness to Christ through our lives. Let us start preaching the Gospel in our families by leading exemplary Christian lives, in which spouses love and respect each other, raise their children in the spirit of obedience and service, discipline them with forgiving love and teach them by persistent example to pray, love and help others by sharing their blessings.

14to. Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario

“el que empuña el arado y mira hacia atrás, no sirve para el Reino de Dios”

Las lecturas del día de hoy nos hablan de la vir-tud de la confianza en Dios y de nuestro deber de evangelizar. En la primera lectura del Profeta Isaías se nos habla de la confianza en Dios y se nos da una ima-

gen muy dulce, pero a la vez muy concreta y expresiva de cómo debe ser esa confian-za. Así se nos describe esa imagen: “Como un hijo a quien su madre consuela, así los conso-laré Yo. Como niños serán llevados en el rega-zo y acariciados sobre sus rodillas”. En la segunda lectura San Pablo nos hace sa-ber que ya el mundo no tiene ningún valor para él, que el mundo y lo que éste significa están muertos para él. “El mundo está crucificado pa-ra mí y yo para el mundo”. Y nos trae esta Lectura la famosa frase del Apóstol: “No permita Dios que yo me gloríe en algo que no sea la cruz de nuestro Señor Jesu-cristo”. Aceptación de la cruz, del sufrimiento, y morir a lo que el mundo nos vende. El segui-dor de Cristo tiene que vivir como lo indica San Pablo. No puede vivir de otra manera. En el evangelio hemos escuchado el relato del envío de los 72 discípulos. La forma en que Jesús envía a los 72, requiere de sus discípu-los una confianza absoluta en el poder de Dios. Como “corderos en medio de lobos”, mandó Jesús a los primeros discípulos, 72 en total y en parejas de dos en dos, advirtiéndoles que la cosecha era grande y los trabajadores po-cos. Los mandó por delante de El “a los pue-blos y lugares a donde pensaba ir”. La frase de los corderos y los lobos ciertamen-te asusta. Sin embargo, todos fueron, todos respondieron. Esto es tan así, que además da a sus discípu-los instrucciones muy precisas de que no lle-ven ni dinero, ni morral, ni sandalias. O sea, los envía también aparentemente desprovistos de todo lo necesario desde el punto de vista humano.

POR FAVOR TOME NOTA: La oficina de la rec-toría estará cerrada el lunes 4 de Julio por cele-brarse el dia de la Independencia. La Parroquia de San Juan Evangelista y Nues-tra Señora del Monte Carmelo: llevarán a cabo su “Festa Italiana” anual el 7, 8 9 y 10 de julio, ca-da noche de las 6 p.m. hasta la media noche en el patio de la iglesia en el 92 S Lexington Avenue en White Plains.
