Sixteenth Sunday of Ordinary Time
July 17, 2016
As we prepare for the Diocesan Synod, join us for a
Martha or Mary?
People who think of themselves as “pray-ers” love the
story of Mary and Martha,
while others who characterize
themselves as “do-ers” are
irritated by it. After all, Martha
is an exemplary model of
hospitality. She is serving her
guest and honoring God in the
process, just like Abraham did
in the first reading today. So
why is Abraham so esteemed and Martha seemingly
admonished for exhibiting precisely the same behavior?
Martha has done nothing wrong, and Jesus does not put
her down for her generous service—though plenty of
homilists this Sunday may make it sound that way.
Martha fulfills the cultural and religious obligation of
hospitality admirably. Mary has chosen to follow
another imperative, one that sprang from within her own
desire: to be in the company of Jesus. If Martha errs, it’s
only in passing judgment over Mary’s choice.
Hospitality takes many forms. One of them is presence.

“Listening Session”
Saturday, July 23rd at 10am
in the Parish Hall
In October, the Diocese of
San Diego will hold a synod
which will focus on the topics
of marriage and family life.
Each parish in the diocese
will have a representative to the synod and a particular
topic they are to gather information on. Fr. Mike will be
the representative from our parish and we will focus on
“the challenge to provide authentic pastoral
support for those who are divorced.”
Here are the questions we are to think about, pray
about and write about:
1. What are the elements necessary for a robust
program of pastoral and spiritual support for
those undergoing divorce, both during the
process and afterward?
2. How can the diocese make the annulment
process more accessible for our people?
3. How should we bring an understanding of the
internal forum and conscience to our people,
not only regarding the topic of participation for
those who are divorced and remarried, but for
all Catholics in their moral and spiritual lives?
At our “Listening Session” on Saturday, July 23rd at
10am in the Parish Hall, Fr. Mike will ask for your input
on these questions. It would be helpful if each person
participating writes down their answers to these questions. If you are unable to come to the session, please
feel free give your written answers to Fr. Mike. We appreciate your making the time to complete this important task. Bishop McElroy will use this information to
“provide a moment of profound renewal and growth in
our ecclesial support of families in San Diego.”

The Joy of Giving
Amount we need each week to cover parish operating costs:
General Collection, July 10, 2016:
Deficit for the week of July 10, 2016:
$7,155.00
$5,091.00
— $2,064.00
Building Fund—July 10, 2016:
$ 487.00
Believe it or not, we are all called to evangelize – to continuously grow in our knowledge and relationship with Jesus
and to share it with others. We may not be called to evangelize like St. Paul,
but we should look for opportunities to share our faith with those closest to us, like our family and friends.

How Welcoming Are We at St. Didacus Parish?
For many individuals and families alike,
summer means travel. And summer travel
may mean new visitors to our parish for
weekend liturgies. How we greet and provide hospitality for our guests says a lot
about our practice of good stewardship.
Welcoming newcomers to our parish is not just the job of
the pastoral staff, ushers, ministers of hospitality or greeters. It is everyone’s responsibility. Here are ten things you
can do to provide better hospitality in our parish.
1. Cultivate the virtue of hospitality at Mass.
Many Mass attendees tend to gather into little cliques and
ignore those who are not members of their particular clique.
They are not really inhospitable, just heedless of the need
for hospitality. Make hospitality a new habit when you go to
Mass.
2. Come early, leave late.
Instead of rushing to Mass to be there on time, and then
rushing out at its conclusion, make time to come a little
early and linger just a bit later. Make room in your busy life
to greet and spend time with others at Mass.
3. Go in peace to greet someone!
Seek out someone you’ve not met before. Shake their
hand, introduce yourself, and take a few moments to
welcome them to your parish home, God’s house.
4. Welcome everyone.
Not only do visitors need your warm welcome, regular Mass
attendees also need a friendly greeting. Develop a good
handshake and be enthusiastic about our parish. You are
greeting others in the name of Christ.
5. Help newcomers connect.
While you are getting to know visitors, introduce them to
other parishioners as the opportunity presents itself. Feel
free to invite visitors to sit next to you.
6. Say goodbye with genuine warmth.
After Mass, bid farewell to visitors, inviting them to return
next week. Introduce them to the pastor if the opportunity
arises.
7. Avoid parish business.
Avoid conducting parish business with others just before or
after Mass. Focus on visitors.
8. Give visitors information about the parish.
Ensure that a visitor has a bulletin and other information
about the parish before they leave. If there is a social
gathering after Mass, invite them.
Remember, we are Christ’s ambassadors (2 Corinthians 5:20). Our actions and reactions toward visitors at
Mass communicate who we are and who we represent. Let
us take time to welcome visitors to our parish this summer.
Welcoming gestures, however small, will not only have a
positive impact on visitors, they will make us more hospitable ambassadors of Christ.

XVI Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario
Martha lo recibió en su casa
María escogido la mejor parte
En el evangelio de Lucas el
camino de Jesús a Jerusalén marca
una progresiva manifestación del
Reino. A medida que Jesús avanza va
formando a los discípulos y discípulas
en actitudes de misericordia, de
abandono de las pretensiones de
poder, y en la atenta escucha de la Palabra. En ese
camino, Jesús es recibido por dos mujeres en una
casa de familia.
Allí se topa con dos actitudes diferentes. Una
de total atención y escucha, la otra, de afán por los
quehaceres habituales y de distracción. Jesús
propone un plan encaminado a formar verdaderos
oyentes, los auténticos discípulos, que Martha no
está dispuesta a atender.
María, al contrario, comprende bien el
proyecto de Jesús y rompe con los prejuicios
culturales de su época. En lugar de andar atareada
con los oficios domésticos, propios de las mujeres
de esa época, se pone a los pies del Señor para
escuchar su palabra.
Martha, al fatigarse con el interminable
trabajo de la casa, cuestiona la contradictoria
actitud de María e interpela al Maestro para que
ponga a la mujer en su sitio. Jesús le da una
respuesta inesperada: felicita a María porque ha
acertado en su elección y reprende a Martha por
dejarse envolver en las preocupaciones cotidianas
sin atender a lo importante. María ha hecho la
mejor opción, ha decidido aprender a escuchar la
Palabra y se deja interpelar por la presencia del
Maestro.
Una de las actitudes para ser verdadero
discípulo es escuchar atenta y serenamente la
Palabra de Dios. Actitud que exige romper con el
ritmo loco de la vida cotidiana. Esta elección que a
los ojos de la eficiencia puede parecer superficial,
es una condición fundamental para llegar a ser un
auténtico discípulo de Jesús.
Pero con Martha y María, Jesús nos interpela
y nos llama a lo fundamental: ponernos a sus pies
y escuchar su palabra. Jesús nos invita a que
nuestro cristianismo sea un verdadero discipulado.
¿En nuestra vida diaria tenemos tiempo para
escuchar atenta y serenamente la Palabra que
Dios nos dirige en la Biblia y en la vida?
¿Somos críticos ante nuestro propio
activismo en nuestra vida y le damos tiempo a
Dios, leyendo la Biblia o haciendo oración?
