Fifteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time July 15, 2012
Truth shall spring out of the earth, and justice shall look down from heaven. — Psalm 85:12
GOD CHOSE US Who chose first, God or you? That is the question explored in today’s three readings. The second reading, from Paul’s Letter to the Ephesians, reads almost like a hymn. It praises God for choosing us, for calling us to serve, and for blessing us in our service. Paul makes it clear how honored we are and how special is the call to live as children of God. This is through no doing of our own. The first reading and the Gospel use prose rather than poetry to describe the same truth: God did the choosing, not us. When the prophet Amos was berated for being a prophet, he retorted that the whole thing wasn’t his idea in the first place. Neither did the twelve apostles in today’s Gospel ask for their calling. Jesus sent them forth, two by two, to do the work of his kingdom. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
READINGS FOR THE WEEK Monday: Is 1:10-17; Mt 10:34 — 11:1 Tuesday: Is 7:1-9; Mt 11:20-24 Wednesday: Is 10:5-7, 13b-16; Mt 11:25-27 Thursday: Is 26:7-9, 12, 16-19; Mt 11:28-30 Friday: Is 38:1-6, 21-22, 7-8; Mt 12:1-8 Saturday: Mi 2:1-5; Mt 12:14-21 Sunday: Jer 23:1-6; Ps 23; Eph 2:13-18; Mk 6:30-34
TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION Does the scene of the disciples being sent out two by two bring to mind any other scripture? After the flood, Noah opens the door of the ark and sends his passengers out to renew the face of the earth. Certainly, Jesus has the same purpose. The purpose is fulfilled in your communion in the Body of Christ today, and in your being sent from the Eucharist into the world. The sending is so important that our word “Mass” derives from it. In Latin, the last words of worship are Ite, missa est, which means “Go, you are sent.” From that, people began to call Catholic worship the missa, or in English, the “Mass.” Our English words dismissal, missal, emissary, and mission are all related. We are not sent into the workaday world alone, but in relationship to one another. Some people have acquired the unhappy habit of leaving worship as soon as they receive Communion and therefore miss the prayer, the dismissal, and the solemn blessing that are essential parts of the Mass. The dismissal is a seal on our Communion and reveals its purpose. Thanks be to God! —James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co. PRAYER OF THE WEEK July 15, 2012, Fifteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time O God, who show the light of your truth to those who go astray, so that they may return to the right path, give all who for the faith they profess are accounted Christians the grace to reject whatever is contrary to the name of Christ and to strive after all that does it honor. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Reflection question: How do I live up to being called Christian? Are there ways that I can do better? Collect text from the English translation of The Roman Missal, © 2010, International Commission on English in the Liturgy Corporation. All rights reserved.

Prayer for Employment God, our Father, I turn to you seeking your divine help and guidance as I look for suitable employment. I need your wisdom to guide my footsteps along the right path, and to lead me to find the proper things to say and do in this quest. I wish to use the gifts and talents you
have given me, but I need the opportunity to do so with gainful employment. Do not abandon me, dear Father, in this search, but rather grant me this favor I seek so that I may return to you with praise and thanksgiving for your gracious assistance. Grant
this through Christ, our Lord. Amen. Source: Catholic Online

y la justicia vino del cielo. — Salmo 85(84):12
ORACIÓN DE LA SEMANA 15 de julio de 2012 Señor, tú que iluminas a los extraviados con la luz de tu Evangelio para que vuelvan al camino de la verdad, concede a cuantos nos llamamos cristianos imitar fielmente a Cristo y rechazar lo que pueda alejarnos de él. Por nuestro Señor Jesucristo, tu Hijo, que vive y reina contigo en la unidad del Espíritu Santo y es Dios por los siglos de los siglos.

FIESTAS PATRONALES DE LA
VIRGEN DEL CARMEN Nuestra Señora del Carmen, cuya fiesta se celebra el 16 de julio es patrona de los marineros y patrona protectora de la orden religiosa de los Carmelitas. La orden contemplativa de los Carmelitas surgió inspirada en la figura del profeta Elías (1 Reyes 18, 44). Ya en el siglo IX antes
de Cristo, Elías defendió la pureza de la fe en el Dios único y verdadero contra la contaminación de los cultos a los ídolos. Según la tradición, Elías vivía en el monte Carmelo, donde siglos más tarde se establecieron los Carmelitas. Los Carmelitas se vieron obligados a abandonar el Monte Carmelo por la invasión de los sarracenos. Y la historia nos dice que antes de partir se les apareció la Virgen mientras cantaban el Salve Regina y prometió ser para ellos su Estrella del mar. También por este bello nombre se conoce a la Virgen. Los Carmelitas y la devoción a la Virgen del Carmen se propagan por el mundo especialmente en los lugares donde se establecieron los Carmelitas. En España se venera en Beniaján y Murcia. También es patrona de Chile y muchos otros países en Latinoamérica. Cada país celebra de manera única y especial a la Estrella del mar y, en la Tirana, Chile, entre el 12 y 18 de julio se lleva a cabo lo que se conoce como la fiesta religiosa más popular del norte del país. Esta celebración es un honor a la Virgen del Carmen o “La Tirana” , la Virgen del Desierto, como también se le conoce en esa región. Esta celebración, de origen andino. Consta de una serie de ritos con fogatas nocturnas, cantos y bailes con atuendos altiplánicos de variados colores y formas. Es una celebración del mestizaje entre las culturas autóctonas americanas y europeas. A esta celebración asisten visitantes de todo el mundo, llegando a reunir a más de 200,00 mil asistentes cada año.

DIOS NOS ELIGIÓ ¿Quién eligió primero, Dios o tú? Esa es la pregunta que exploramos en las tres lecturas de hoy. La segunda lectura, la carta de Pablo a los Efesios, se lee casi como un himno. Es una alabanza a Dios por habernos escogido, habernos llamado a servir, y por bendecirnos en nuestro servicio. Pablo deja en claro el gran honor que hemos recibido y lo especial que es la llamada a vivir como hijos de Dios. Esto no es por nuestros méritos. La primera lectura y el Evangelio usan prosa en vez de poesía para describir la misma verdad: Dios nos escogió, no nosotros. Cuando el profeta Amós fue criticado por ser un profeta, respondió que, en primer lugar, el asunto no era su idea. Tampoco los doce apóstoles en el Evangelio de hoy pidieron su llamado. Jesús los envió de dos en dos, para hacer el trabajo de su Reino. —Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
LECTURAS DE HOY
Primera lectura — Amós es enviado por Dios a profetizar al pueblo de Israel (Amós 7:12-15). Salmo — Muéstranos, Señor, tu misericordia (Salmo 85 [84]). Segunda lectura — El Dios y Padre de Cristo Jesús nuestro Señor nos ha elegido y nos ha bendecido con toda clase de bendiciones espirituales (Efesios 1:3-14 [3-10]). Evangelio — Jesús envía a los doce apóstoles de dos en dos a predicar, invitando a la conversión (Marcos 6:7-13).
Sabías que... La diferencia entre Ascensión y Asunción está en que la primera es, por excelencia, el acto por el que Cristo, por sus propios medios, se elevó a los Cielos
luego de 40 días de permanecer con sus discípulos después de su Resurrección. La Asunción es el acto por el que la Virgen María fue elevada por los ángeles de Dios en cuerpo y alma.
DIOS EN TODO En todo lo que sentimos y en todo lo que sabemos, Dios está escondido. —San Buenaventura
UN EFECTO MÁGICO La paciencia y la perseverancia tienen un efecto mágico ante el cual las dificultades desaparecen y los obstáculos se desvanecen. —John Quincy Adams
