1 Sunday, July 21, 2019 - Sixteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time
Two weeks and counting! I am grateful for everything that has transpired. Obviously, the past two
weekends were an overload for me. Preaching for all seven masses the first weekend was a rare
experience, but very touching. The following Friday, July 12th, was my 23rd priestly anniversary. I never
expected to have so many parishioners attend my Mass of Thanksgiving, but what happened was a
testament of love and friendship. I was so touched by the parishioners of Holy Angels in Globe coming to
grace the occasion as well. I was so inspired by the participation and presence of my new Parish members.
The choir, deacons, altar servers and lectors did a great job. I was pleased to have my brother priests
concelebrate with me. Of course, the pot luck preparation was a sign for me that I have a great family here
at OMOS. The reception afterwards was a feast. Thank you everyone for making my 23rd celebration of
my priesthood very meaningful.
Then after my anniversary event, came the weekend receptions where I had my “Meet and Greet”
with the parishioners after all the Masses. It was a one-of-kind experience for me having to shake the
hands of so many of my new parish family members. The smiles and hugs were so sincere as they now see
their new “little but cute” pastor. Some challenged me and asked if I could still remember their names
after the meet and greet. I laughed. It will definitely take a while to come to memorize all the names. But
the fact that they came and welcomed me, it was very significant. It made me feel more adjusted and more
at home. All in all, I was so pleased by the way the events unfolded. Thank you to my staff and volunteers.
You did a great job!
TO THE OMOS COMMUNITY - THANK YOU VERY MUCH! MUCHAS GRACIAS! MARAMING
SALAMAT!
Let us always “put our gifts at the service of one another” 1Pt. 4:10

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION:
There’s a different pace to a summer Sunday, especially on those days when we dream of air
conditioning and wave any available paper to stir the air. Yet we persist in gathering, even with so many
breaks from the usual routines. We distance ourselves not only from routines, but from schedules and
familiar well-worn paths. These are playful days and contemplative days. We see long-lost friends and
visit almost-forgotten places. We have more leisure than any people before in the history of the world, and
we need it because our lives are so care-worn and tiring. More of us walk barefoot and look up at the stars
or dip our toes in the lake or sea, sing around campfires, read novels on the beach, and eat comfort food
with our fingers. We see how beautiful life can be, and are more aware than usual of how God is always
breaking in with signs of love.
In Genesis today, Abraham and Sarah practice hospitality to their visitors, who turn out to be God
dropping in. During the summer months, God practices hospitality in return, inviting us into a season of
celebration. Keeping Sunday holy is a good habit to cultivate in these days when our spirits are especially
receptive to God’s deep desire for us to know divine love.

Did you know…?
Did you know there are three feast days this
week? The 22nd is the Feast of Mary Magdalene,
the 25th is the Feast of St. James the Apostle and
the 26th is the Memorial of Joachim and Anne,
the parents of the Blessed Virgin Mary. You
might think of Ordinary Time as a time when
there is little going on at the church, but in
reality, we celebrate our saints and Apostles
every day.
Sixteenth Sunday of Ordinary Time
July 21, 2019
Genesis 18:1-10a; Colossians 1:24-28; Luke 10:38-42
This Sunday’s readings are about serving and
listening to God, something we might not do often
enough.
Abraham saw three travelers and he encouraged
them to stop. He fed them and gave them rest during
the heat of the day. He wasn’t aware that they were
visitors from God. Abraham just knew that there were
travelers who needed water and some comfort. God
rewarded Abraham and Sarah with a child.
Jesus was visiting a family. One sister was
serving, while the other was sitting and listening to
Him talking. Martha was upset because she was doing
the serving and wanted Jesus to tell Mary to get up
and help. Jesus didn’t do it. Not because serving isn’t
important because it is, but so is taking time to listen
to Jesus.
St. Paul makes it clear that proclaiming Jesus’
words and teaching His wisdom is what we’re called
to do. He was telling that to his followers in Colossae.
That is what he spent the last years of his life doing.
We need to take time to stop and listen to listen to
Jesus talk to us. Often when we pray, we talk to God.
That’s not a bad thing at all. But imagine if you have a
friend who does all the talking and you never get a
word in edgewise. Wouldn’t you feel you have things
you want to say? Well, God has things to say to you.
He does to all of us. We just have to listen for Him to
say them. When you let God talk to you, you’ll be
surprised how quickly you can get a response. God
always responds.

resolve the issue so I really do appreciate your prayers
and kind words!!!

A MINDSET OF SERVICE There’s a lot of traveling, delivering, and visiting
going on in our readings today. In Genesis Abraham
cares for the needs of three mysterious travelers. The
psalm responds, celebrating the kind of righteousness
that Abraham practices. Then, in his letter to the
Colossians, Saint Paul describes his own ministry as
almost like a delivery service: he, God’s steward, brings
the word of God to their community. Finally, Luke’s
Gospel shares the well-known story of Mary and Martha,
and the different ways they welcome Jesus into their
home. Amid all this coming and going, we are invited to
pay attention to the ways we tend to the needs of others.
Each of us can ask, How am I present to God and others
in my life? Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

In Laudato si' the Holy Father,
Pope Francis, talks about how the
Holy Spirit is interwoven in
Creation:
God is intimately present to each
being, without impinging on the
autonomy of his creature, and this
gives rise to the rightful autonomy of earthly affairs.
His divine presence, which ensures the subsistence
and growth of each being, “continues the work of
creation”. The Spirit of God has filled the universe
with possibilities and therefore, from the very heart of
things, something new can always emerge: “Nature is
nothing other than a certain kind of art, namely God’s
art, impressed upon things, whereby those things are
moved to a determinate end. It is as if a shipbuilder
were able to give timbers the wherewithal to move
themselves to take the form of a ship”.
(Laudato si', 80)
