PARISH NEWS From Our Pastor…
We are going to make some changes to our Mass schedule beginning the first weekend in July. I have to say, it’s always hard for a pastor to alter Mass times. There are
a lot of decisions that a pastor makes that are difficult. I’m glad I don’t have to make them alone. Fr. Gerry Gonderinger, the pastor of the Schuyler parishes is retiring. Fr. Jairo Congote, who was the assistant pastor, will now be the pastor of the Schuyler parishes. In order to better accommodate his changing schedule, the Hispanic Mass at St. Bonaventure will move to 6:15 Sunday evening. I also have decided to bring back the 7:00 Sunday morning Mass. These decisions were made after prayerful consideration and input from the Hispanic community and our Leadership Team. The St. Bonaventure Mass schedule will be as follows: 5:00pm Saturday; 7:00am, 8:30am & 10:30am Sunday; and 6:15 Spanish Sunday evening. I believe this is best for our parish at this time. Another change that will begin the first weekend in July is that wearing a mask is strongly encouraged, but not required. All other practices will still be done the same way we are currently doing them. As always, everyone is welcome to attend Mass. We want all our parishioners to feel safe in whatever parish they attend. We will continue sanitizing after each Mass. If you are at risk or sick, please remain at home. Again, the Archbishop’s dispensation stays in effect to participate in Mass from home and receive spiritual Communion. Video of our Mass will continue to be offered. Thank you for your endured patience as we slowly move forward. We are like the struggling Israelites in the desert. Blessings!

CALLING PRIESTS FATHER Question: Why do Catholics call priests Father? Answer: One of the common objections evangelical Christians have to Catholics is our practice of calling priests by the title Father. They will often cite a passage in Matthew’s Gospel in which Jesus tells his followers: “Call no one on earth your father; you have but one Father in heaven” (23:19). It seems pretty straightforward, but when we put this verse in context, we see that Jesus is speaking out against religious leaders who had forgotten what their proper role was and who were bad examples through their own hypocrisy and elitist attitudes. In other Gospels, we find Jesus himself using the title father for different characters, such as in the Parable of Lazarus and the Rich Man (Luke 16:19-31]) and the Parable of the Prodigal Son (Luke 15:11-32). If we put the verse from Matthew into the full scope of Jesus’ teachings, he isn’t saying that we can’t use words like “father,” “rabbi,” or “master.” Rather, he is telling us that we should be mindful of the full meaning of those titles and not to misuse them.

EL SEGUIMIENTO DE CRISTO
POR: PADRE JAIRO CONGOTE
El seguimiento de Cristo presenta unas condiciones muy claras: posponer el afecto familiar, abrazar la cruz de cada día, y estar dis-puesto a perder por él incluso la propia vida. “El que quiere a su padre o a su madre más que a mí, no es digno de mí; y el que quiere a su hijo o a su hija más que a mí, no es digno de mí. Y el que no toma su cruz y me sigue, no es digno de mí. El que encuentre su vida, la perderá; y el que pierda su vida por mí, la encontrará”. Im-presiona este lenguaje y actitud radical y de estilo profético. En cuanto a los vínculos familiares es evidente que Jesús los relativiza como lo hace en el episodio de su “pérdida” en el templo y en las llamadas vocacionales. Ante la primacía del reino de Dios ceden puesto todos los afectos de familia y los lazos de sangre, raza, na-ción o grupo cultural. En el evangelio Cristo reclama un amor más grande que a la propia familia. Jesús dice que si los lazos familiares significaran un obstáculo insalvable para la opción del discípulo por el reino de Dios, presente en la persona de Jesús, es el reino el que tiene la primacía de valor y de opción. No contento, diríamos, con la primacía sobre los afectos familiares, Cristo se reserva también la prioridad sobre la propia vida del discípulo. De tal suerte que el que quiere conservar su vida para sí, la pierde; en cambio el que la pier-de por Cristo, la encuentra. La vida que se pierde o que se gana tiene aquí un doble sentido. Significa tanto la vida corporal o física como la espiritual o eterna, que es la plenitud de la primera. Solamente entregando nuestra vida a Jesús, que es la Vida con mayúscula, ase-guramos nuestro propio destino; pero si queremos guardarla para nosotros, terminamos por arruinarnos, perdiendo la Vida. Jesús invita en un modo de pensar y talante de vivir a tomar la cruz y perder la vida, como expresiones concretas de su seguimiento. El riesgo mortal no es situación habitual, salvo en casos de persecu-ción, cárcel y tortura. Quizá nunca se nos planteen tales extremos, pero sí las pequeñas y continuas opciones entre Cristo y los deleites de este mundo que nos invita a vivir en la superficialidad. Esa es la radicalidad cotidiana, punto primero en el orden de cada día; no hay modo de seguir a Cristo y ser cristiano sino amando intensamente a Jesús. La mística del seguimiento por la cruz es monopolio del cris-tianismo porque fue exclusiva del estilo y doctrina de Jesús, y su-pera con mucho el ideal de todas las religiones históricas. Porque la autor renuncia cristiana no es pasividad fatalista ni droga alucinóge-na o narcótico sedante para el dolor, sino actividad fecunda del amor que destruye los criterios y centros de interés del hombre viejo, creando la vida del hombre nuevo con Cristo. San Pablo escribía a su discípulo Timoteo: “Es doctrina segura: Si morimos con Cristo, viviremos con él. Si perseveramos, reinaremos con él”. Desde esta perspectiva de Vida en plenitud no resultan negativas, duras y difíci-les de asimilar las palabras de Jesús en el evangelio de hoy. La ab-negación y el dolor, la cruz y la muerte no tienen valor en sí mis-mas, pues solamente son medios para un fin. Es su finalidad de vida lo que les da sentido y eficacia, como sucedió en el caso de Cristo. Nuestra gloria es la cruz de Cristo, podemos decir con san Pablo, porque es signo de vida y no de muerte, de liberación y no de escla-vitud. Al término de su discurso misionero Jesús abre perspectivas gratificantes, hablando de recompensa, incluso por un vaso de agua ofrecido al hermano. Es un aliento que necesitamos. Su demanda de fidelidad radical tiene una contrapartida, un premio a la medida de Aquel de quien nos hemos fiado. Gloria a ti, Señor Jesús, porque nos llamas a tu seguimiento mediante una ejercitación espiritual liberadora de nuestro yo mezquino.

CALLING PRIESTS FATHER CONT.
To call a priest “Father” is more than a sign of respect for the office of the priesthood. It goes all the way back to the way St. Paul understood his own work as a missionary and evangelizer. Paul wrote, “I am writing you in this way not to shame you but to admonish you as my beloved children … It was I who begot you in Christ Jesus through my preaching of the Gospel. I beg you, then, be imitators of me. This is why I have sent you Timothy, my beloved and faithful son in the Lord” (1 Corinthians 4:14-17). Yes, we have God alone as our heavenly Father, but there are also those here with us who nurture and nourish our faith through their teaching and care. This is why the title of Father has been applied to the church’s pastors in different ways since the earliest days of the Church, including monks and nuns using the title “abbot” and “abbess” (from abba) for their spiritual leaders and Christians around the world recognizing the “Holy Father” or “pope” (from papa) as the head of the family that is the Church. The title Father is a reminder that priests have a special responsi-bility to care for, protect, feed, listen to, and nourish those who have been entrusted to them, all after the example of our Father in heaven who never ceases to give us what we truly need. ©LPi
