The Messenger - Christ The King Catholic Community
The Messenger Christ the King Catholic Community A Roman Catholic Parish of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Las Vegas 4925 S. Torrey Pines Drive, Las Vegas NV; 89118 www.ctklv.org ~ (702) 871-1904 ~ Fax: (702) 251-4935 June 21, 2015 ~ Twelfth Sunday in Ordinary Time Today’s Readings First Reading — The Lord said to Job: Who shut within doors the sea? And who said: Thus far shall you come but no farther! (Job 38:1, 8-11). Psalm — Give thanks to the Lord, his love is everlasting (Psalm 107). Second Reading — Whoever is in Christ is a new creation (2 Corinthians 5:1417). Gospel — Who is this whom even wind and sea obey? (Mark 4:3541). MASS TIMES SATURDAY: 4:00 pm SUNDAY: 7:30, 9:30,11:30 am, 1:30 pm (Misa en Español) 4:00 pm WEEKDAYS: Mon - Sat ~ 8:00 am HOLY DAYS: 8:00 am and 7:00 pm THE WIND AND THE SEA Living along the shores of Lake Superior—the “big lake,” as the locals call it—you can often hear the advice, “Respect the lake; don’t take it for granted.” People who know Lake Superior respect its power and watch out for its many moods. Sunken ships and boats crushed into kindling are testimonies to what the lake can do. The readings of this Sunday evoke our memories of the lake, of the mighty Mississippi River, or of the ocean itself. Who but God can control these mighty waters and set limits to their advance? The lake described in today’s Gospel was a body of water subject to sudden storms and churned into dangerous waves by terrible winds. But these mighty agents are subject to God. The sailor and the fisher all respect the water. Even more, they respect the awesome power of the Maker of wind and sea. EL VIENTO Y EL MAR Los que conocen bien el Lago Superior le tienen un saludable respeto, y siempre están alerta sobre sus caprichosos cambios de ánimo. Muchos barcos hundidos y muchos botes hechos astillas son testigos de lo que el lago puede hacer cuando está de mal humor. Las lecturas de este domingo nos evocan memorias de ese lago, del poderoso río Mississippi o del océano mismo. ¿Quién, fuera de Dios, podrá controlar esas aguas poderosas, o imponerles límites, diciendo “Hasta aquí llegarás”? El lago que describe el Evangelio de hoy era un lago en el que se levantaban súbitas tormentas, en las que los vientos huracanados agitaban olas enormes. Pero estas fuerzas tan poderosas se someten a la voluntad de Dios. Los marineros y los pescadores le tienen un saludable respeto al poder de las aguas. Pero más todavía respetan el poder del Creador del viento y del mar. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co. The Community in Action PARISH STAFF Parish Administrator Rev.

Nevadans for the Common Good is a nonpartisan organization of congregations and groups across the Las Vegas valley working together to provide a “voice for the voiceless” which address current social issues. We have been effective supporting new legislation to oppose human trafficking and to improve elder care programs, and we have worked tirelessly to support Governor Sandoval’s recently passed education bill AB483. MARK YOUR CALENDARS FOR OUR NEXT FAMILY PROMISE VISIT: AUGUST 23RD Families experiencing homelessness will stay at our church overnight the week of August 23 – 30th.

If you would like to participate in this worthy ministry during that week, please call Jane in the office at (702) 871-1904 or email: [email protected] TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITIONS When you are thinking about traditions in the Church, 1563 is a “watershed” year. The Council of Trent began a reform of the liturgy that put an end to old practices and set many of our present practices in place. For the first time, engaged people were absolutely required to appear before their parish priest, and to exchange consent in his presence along with two witnesses. To this day, Catholics are obliged to this form, namely: to marry another Catholic in the presence of a priest (or deacon) and two witnesses, unless dispensed from the law. The Council really didn’t forbid customs and ceremonies that added life to the celebration, but the mood of the times was dark and somewhat austere. Practices like the blessing of the marriage bed or using a canopy for the nuptial blessing started to fade away, as did the custom of bringing the presents for the couple to the church and the addition of fiddlers and jugglers to the procession. The Council of Trent tried to preserve local customs, but the long term effect was to standardize celebrations everywhere in the world. Rev. James Field, Copyright © GOT CLUTTER?

Él desea lo mejor para nosotros y quiere que estemos bien en todos los aspectos de nuestra vida: familia y amistades, trabajo, economía, salud, etcétera. Sin embargo, Jesús también nos promete la persecución y el maltrato (Marcos 10:29; Mateo 5:11; Lucas 6:22; Juan 15:18). La vida abundante es bella pero nunca fácil. La vida cristiana es como toda vida humana; tiene momentos de tranquilidad y de tempestad. Así como un día nos brilla el sol, otro día nos sacuden los vientos y nuestras pequeñas lanchas parecen inundarse. No hay que desanimarse o asustarse cuando lleguen estas tormentas. Más bien, hay que recordar el Evangelio (Marcos 4:35-41) donde Jesús duerme en la barca de sus discípulos. Es interesante el detalle de Jesús quien, cansado y tranquilo, duerme mientras el mar sacude a la barca y a los discípulos. Menos mal que se les ocurrió recurrir al Señor. Y tú, ¿qué haces cuando el viento sopla y la vida te estremece? No temas, despierta a Cristo a quien llevas en tu corazón. Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

He is the one who suggests, “Let us cross to the other side” (Mark 4:35). Yet that invitation comes as evening draws on, as so often happens in life. It comes amid the shadows of life where clarity of action is seldom sharp or distinct. Then to step into the boat is indeed an act of faith. Who would ever choose a crossing at such a time? Yet it was “as evening drew on” that Jesus said to his disciples, “Let us cross to the other side.” And so they go. It is at this point that they take Jesus into their boat, which is always what is expected of the disciple—that the Lord be invited on the journey, and that the journey to the other side be made together. The Jesus story ends in calm and stillness, but that is not its promise. What is assured is that faith can bring one to the other side, which is also the assurance given to Job out of the storm—that it is God who made the thick darkness and put limits on the sea, all along knowing its ability to burst forth. It is God who knows creation and is in control, it is Jesus who knows the human journey and accompanies us, and it is faith that sustains us in the midst of storms.—Rev. Joseph J.

REFLEXIONEMOS SOBRE LA PALABRA DE DIOS Divine Mercy Devotion SATURDAY - JUNE 27 SUNDAY - JUNE 28 1:30 pm REFLECTING ON GOD’S WORD Misa en Español El Evangelio de hoy dice que la invitación de pasar a una orilla nueva y diferente la extiende Jesús. Él es quien sugiere: “Pasemos a la otra orilla” (Marcos 4:35). Sin embargo, esa invitación llega al caer la tarde, como sucede tan a menudo en la vida. Llega en medio de las sombras de la vida donde la claridad de una acción raramente es marcada o perceptible. Por tanto, entrar en la barca es decididamente un acto de fe. ¿Quién decidiría hacer una travesía en un momento así? No obstante, fue “al caer la tarde” que Jesús le dijo a sus discípulos: “Pasemos a la otra orilla”. Y en ese momento se van. Es en ese momento que ellos se llevan a Jesús en su barca, que es lo que siempre se espera de un discípulo, esto es, que el Señor sea invitado para acompañarle en la travesía y que esa travesía hacia el otro lado la hagan juntos. Esta historia sobre Jesús termina en calma y sosiego, pero eso no es lo que se promete. Lo que sí se garantiza es que la fe puede llevar a una persona a la otra orilla. Esto es también lo que se le asegura a Job desde la tormenta, esto es, que es Dios quien hizo los nubarrones y le puso límites al mar, aun sabiendo que éste podía salir precipitadamente a borbotones. Dios es quien conoce la creación y la controla; Jesús es el que conoce la travesía humana y nos acompaña, y la fe es la que nos sostiene en medio de las tormentas. —Padre Joseph J.
