ANDA Y HAZ TÚ LO MISMO
La señorita González, la decana de los estudiantes de
la Escuela Secundaria Olimpo, ya estaba cansada de regañar a Mateo, a pesar de que le caía muy bien. “Cuatro castigos después de clase en dos semanas es demasiado".
Sin embargo Mateo permanecía en silencio. Sólo después de que la señorita González fuera en una ronda matutina por el vecindario descubrió la verdadera razón de las
tardanzas de Mateo. Pataplún, cayó la silla de ruedas por
las escaleras. Era Mateo, sujetando a Dolores mientras
ayudaba a que la bajaran por las escaleras y luego la empujaba hasta la parada de autobús.
“Es una chica de mi grupo de jóvenes de la parroquia”
Mateo le explicó a la señorita González.
Hay muchas formas de describir las acciones de Mateo
–un acto de bondad al azar, marcar una diferencia en la
vida de una persona a la vez. Jesús entendería. Cuando el
abogado identificó correctamente al buen samaritano como
el que había tratado al hombre herido con compasión, Jesús simplemente dijo: “Anda y haz tú lo mismo” (Lucas
10:37). Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

GO AND DO LIKEWISE
Miss Collins, the dean of students at Olympic High
School, was past the point of scolding Matt, though she
liked him very much. “Four detentions in two weeks are
too many.”
Still Matt wouldn’t tell. It was only after Miss Collins
went on a morning neighborhood patrol that she found out
the real reason for Matt’s tardiness. Thump, thump,
thump, came the wheelchair down the stairs. It was Matt,
steadying Shawnetta as he helped lower her down the
stairs and then push her to the corner bus stop.
“She’s a girl in my parish youth group,” Matt explained to Miss Collins.
There are many ways to describe Matt’s actions—a
random act of kindness, making a
difference one person at a time.
Jesus would understand. When the
lawyer correctly identified the
good Samaritan as the one who had
treated the injured man with compassion, Jesus said simply, “Go
and do likewise” (Luke 10:37).

Fifteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time
Works of Mercy - Burying the Dead: In our Catholic tradition, we take seriously the seventh Corporal Work of Mercy Burying the dead. A well-planned funeral service does many
things: it gives honor to the person who died; it gives the opportunity for the family to come together, to grieve, celebrate and
pray together, and it expresses our faith in the life to come.
What does the Catholic funeral service entail? How does one
go about the important work of planning such a service? What,
and how, can one prepare beforehand? What does it cost?
In response to the request of some of our parishioners for more
information on these topics, we are planning a workshop for the
afternoon of Sunday, July 24, 1:30-4:30 pm at Sacred Heart
Hall, entitled “A Work of Mercy: Burying the Dead”. Fr. Paul
will give a presentation on the religious and spiritual aspects of
the Catholic funeral service, and representatives of our local
mortuaries will be invited to explain the services they offer.
More information to come; mark the date! This is for everyone.
Sacrament of the Sick: Are you about to undergo some medical procedure, or receive a diagnosis for a physical problem of
some kind? Our church has a beautiful sacrament - the Sacrament of the Sick - meant to provide strength and healing of
body, mind and spirit. Our priests are available to administer
this sacrament; you may stop by the office (call first!) or catch
them after one of our liturgies. This sacrament is beautifully
explained in Chapter 18 of the U.S. Catholic Catechism.
Visits to Homebound - We would like to be aware of those
who are ill and in need of pastoral visits, whether the person is
in a hospital or at home and unable to come to church. You are
the eyes and ears of our Church; please let us know so that we
can respond.
Teen ACTS Retreat: …takes place July 21-24. Registration
forms are available at each church. The retreat is open to all
youth who have completed 9th-12th grades in 2016. Please call
Adult Directors Robert and Martha Jo Guerra for more information - (263-1499, 263-1928); or teen directors Abe Ascencio
(445-6208) or Norma Colchado (361-772-2723)
Credit Card Payments: Our parish office is set up to receive
donations, mass stipends, rental fees, and other payments by
credit card for your convenience. All major credit cards are
accepted.

Obras de Misericordia - Enterrar a los Muertos: En nuestra
tradición Católica, tomamos en serio la séptima obra de misericordia corporal - enterrar a los muertos. Un servicio bien planificado cumple muchos propósitos: dando honor a la persona
que murió, dando la oportunidad para la familia de reunirse y
celebrar, gemir, orar juntos; y expresa nuestra fe en la vida mas
allá de esta.
¿Cómo se compone el servicio católico de exequias? ¡Cómo se
planea tal servicio? ¿Qué se puede planificar de antemano? ¿Y
que tanto cuesta?
En respuests a algunos que han pedido más información sobre
estos tópicos, estamos planeando un taller para la tarde del Domingo, julio 24, 1:30-4Ñ30 pm en el Salón de Sagrado Corazón, titulado “Una Obra de Misericordia: Enterrar a los Muertos”. Padre Paul dará una presentación sobre los aspectos religiosos y espirituales de los ritos, y representantes de los funerarios locales estarán invitados a explicar los servicios que ofrecen. Habrá mas información; marquen la fecha! Este taller es
para todos.
Sacramento de los Enfermos: ¿Está enfermo? ¿Va a ir al
hospital para uns cirugía? Nuestra iglesia tiene un sacramento
hermoso: La Unción de los Enfermos, para dar fuerza y sanación de cuerpo y alma. Los sacerdotes estamos disponibles
para administrar este sacramento: puede pasar por la oficina, o
hablar con nosotros después de las liturgias. Este sacramento se
explica en el capítulo 18 del Catecismo.
Visits to Homebound - We would like to be aware of those
who are ill and in need of pastoral visits, whether the person is
