THIRTEENTH SUNDAY IN

ORDINARY TIME

July 01,

2018

FROM THE DESK OF THE PASTOR

Dear Brothers and Sisters, In today’s Gospel, we heard the account of the mira-cle of the little girl being rescued from death. By performing this miracle, Jesus brings the synagogue official’s daughter back to life. Death comes to each person, whether great or unim-portant, known or unknown. As we have recently heard about the deaths of very famous people, we are forced to confront the reality that we, too, will one day die. We will one day pass from this world into the next. While the media tells us a lot about the deaths of famous people and focuses on the details surrounding their deaths, perhaps now is a good time to think more deeply about this mystery. Perhaps now is a good time to remember that death is not the end of life. Instead, it is only a phase—a passage from this life into the next. The miracle in today’s Gospel reminds us that death is not the end of our life. When Jesus raised the little girl from the grips of death into life, He showed that He has power over death. I would like to invite you to take some time during this weekend to spend time in silence and to contem-plate the gift of eternal life. Eternal life is truly the greatest miracle—the greatest gift from God. And God makes this gift possible for us to receive through Jesus Christ. Each day God is inviting us to participate in eternal life, but do we follow Him? Do we respond to the call? * * * This week, we will celebrate together with our fami-lies, friends and neighbors the Fourth of July, also known as Independence Day. During this time when we celebrate, please be safe, especial when dealing with fireworks. Spend time with your chil-dren. Remember, we have a special thanksgiving Mass for our independence and freedom. Please pray for our country and our nation.
