The disciples were all excited James Whitaker [email protected] about all that they had witnessed and been able to faith in action ministry (social action) Patti Sills-Trausch [email protected] accomplish. I can imagine them gathering around Bonnie Wasniewski [email protected] Jesus while they all try to talk at once. It was an Laura Libertore [email protected] exciting time in the lives of these men. wedding scheduling Nellie Castro [email protected] But when Jesus hears their report and sees their Franciscan Renewal Center Administrative Staff enthusiasm, he gives them some strange advice. A executive director lot of people would have suggested that it was time to Fr. Joseph Schwab, ofm [email protected] seize the moment. After all, the people were listening, general manager Charles Brown [email protected] and the crowds were coming. It seems like it was the executive assistant perfect time to send the disciples out again to go and Rosa Rodriguez [email protected] preach and heal and increase the crowds. That’s just operations manager Mike Slivers [email protected] good sense, right? adult education, programs and retreats Wrong! Instead, Jesus calls the disciples away for Deacon Herve Lemire [email protected] a time of rest and refreshment. meetings and conferences Sue Force [email protected] You see, God did not intend for us to run through Indra Tilgass-Rodney [email protected] this world perpetually in front of a computer, with a counseling and support groups cell phone to our ear, day planner in our hand and Judith McHale [email protected] Spiritual Direction a schedule so full of activities that no one could Sharon Taszarek [email protected] possibly get it all done. finance Perhaps the Psalm response today could have Kris Cook [email protected] Lora Nelson [email protected] been, “Lord Give Us A Break” or better still, “Lord volunteer opportunities Help Us To Take A Break."

Page 2 • RENEWAL • thecasa.org LITURGY CONNECTION Simple Thoughts... In the first reading, Jeremiah gives a stern warning to the leaders of the time. Through him, God says, “Woe to the shepherds who mislead and scatter the flock of my pasture.” It is clear that God cares for His people, and He has entrusted their care into the hands of the leaders, and they have fallen short. God promises to replace these bad shepherds with ones Concept of the new Conventual Church of Our Lady of the Angels who “will shepherd them so that they need no longer at the Franciscan Renewal Center as of Oct. 2013. Subject to change. fear and tremble; and none shall be missing.” Jeremiah The design of our new church continues to take shape. continues with the image of the “righteous shoot to As we continue to design, develop and refine our new places David” who is “the Lord our Justice.” of gathering and worship, we invite you to keep this process in The passage from Mark’s Gospel places Jesus in your prayers. Together we share the work of RENEWING LIVES the roll Jeremiah spoke of. Jesus is the Good Shepherd, now and for generations to come. teaching and guiding His flock. In the second reading, Paul reminds us that we are all part of the flock. Jesus is our peace and has broken down the walls between us. Nothing separates us from God, and nothing separates us from each other, all of us, part of the one body of Christ. In Christ, we are not lost, but rather, we are found in Him. In “The Joy of the Gospel (Evangelii Gaudium),” Pope Francis wrote, “ The good news is the joy of the Father who desires that none of His little ones be lost, the joy of the Good Shepherd who finds the lost sheep and brings it back to the flock.” ~ This is good news. God delights in us, His sheep, all of us, part of the one body of Christ. We are cared for and loved. What more in the presence of shall we want? ~The Church Staff In Presenza Di Italian for “In the presence of,” In Presenza Di is an opportunity for the entire community to gather before the Eucharist for a time of prayer, praise, teaching and adoration.

The 16th Sunday in Ordinary Time ~ Cycle B July 18 & 19, 2015 thec asa.org • RENEWAL • Page 3 FAMILY CATECHESIS & SACRAMENTAL PREPARATION Family Faith Activities July 19 16th Sunday of Ordinary Time Rest and relaxation are important elements in our lives. As parents, and even as kids, we get tired and overwhelmed. So many things call for our attention that it seems like we are just running around. Jesus shows us the importance of that “down time." Jesus wanted His disciples to come away and spend time alone with Him. We see that it isn’t as easy as it sounds as the crowds continued to follow them. Our lives are similar. Responsibilities don’t end, but the need to recharge is integral to our faith lives. Prayer and Eucharist are ways to do this. Gather your family and ask what their ways of relaxing are. Read Mark 6:30-36 and discuss: • • • What do the apostles tell Jesus? Why does Jesus want the apostles to rest a while? How does Jesus care for the crowd of people? Spiritual Vacation: Finding time to pray and renew ourselves is a gift we can give our families. Review your family calendar and reflect on your family activities. What are some ways that you can schedule time for renewal? Create a spiritual vacation for your family. Take a walk, go somewhere special—simple things work wonders! Include prayer, Scripture, and discuss where you see God in your “vacation." Resting with Art: Give each person a small paper plate, then color the plate blue representing the lake. Attach this to a large plate using a paper fastener in the center of both plates. On the large plate draw faces representing the crowd. Use brown construction paper to represent a boat and illustrate Jesus and the apostles crossing the lake. Turn the larger plate so the crowd gets to the other side of the lake before Jesus and the apostles. Concluding Prayer: Let us pray. Thank you God for your love and care. Show us how to care for people who need our help. In the name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.

Saint of the Week: Bridget of Sweden Bridget was given the gift of mystical prayer and visions of Christ’s passion. She was also very practical in living out the Gospel. • She was born into a wealthy family in 1303. • She was married and had eight children. One of them, Catherine of Sweden, was canonized. • She lived at court in Sweden for two and a half years and inspired the King and Queen to live holy lives. • After her husband died, she founded an order of nuns called the Brigittines. • Her feast day is July 23. In her lifetime, Bridget helped many poor and sick people who came to her in need. She made many pilgrimages all around Italy and to the Holy Land. Bridget died in Rome in 1373. Action plan: On Bridget’s feast day, think about one way that you can help someone in need .

In the midst of a busy life, many people find it difficult to notice God’s action in their daily affairs. Yet, at the deepest level, many of us long for a more conscious experience of God’s presence and love. A spiritual director/companion is trained to listen and encourage you to explore a closer relationship with God through conversation, listening and prayer.

If you would like to find more information or join a ministry, see the FIA pages on thecasa.org or contact Patti, Bonnie or Laura (see below). Our ministries that help to foster Solidarity Across the Border include Casa Grounds for Solidarity (the “Fair Trade Plus” Coffee Ministry). This ministry has been featured in previous bulletins. Medical Hospitality Ministry About eight times a year, the Shriners hold a free clinic in Phoenix for children with orthopedic conditions. The generosity of the Shiners extends to our Franciscan Mission in Guaymas, Mexico and the families that the missions serves. The Shriners provide visas, and the children are able to travel from Guaymas with their mothers. Our counterparts at the Casa Franciscana in Guaymas assist the families on the Guaymas end of their journey, and we assist them on the Phoenix end. Casa volunteers host families in their homes overnight when they come up from Guaymas to Phoenix for medical appointments. For information on how you can host families overnight in your home or offer travel baskets for families who have accommodations elsewhere, contact Liz Gunzelman at [email protected]. You do not need to speak Spanish to be part of this ministry. TEACH ENGLISH—EMPOWER OTHERS English as a Second Language Ministry Imagine trying to live in a foreign country where you don’t know the local language. The ESL Ministry teaches basic English language skills to help immigrants rebuild their lives. Classes are taught from September to May and are held in four locations: St. Matthew’s and St. Andrew’s parishes in Phoenix; Hohokam Elementary School in Scottsdale and St. Peter’s Catholic Church in Springerville. Some classes meet twice a week and others meet once a week. Training is provided at the start of each year. The ability to speak Spanish is not required, nor do you need a teaching background. • We use a team-teaching approach • Classrooms are total immersion – speaking only English in the classroom • Students are dedicated, and instructor-student relationships often turn into friendships. For more information, contact [email protected] Members of the Franciscan Action Circle Ministry work with Keep Phoenix Together (KPT), a free, community-based immigration legal clinic.

While I was interning, I recommended to a client who was divorcing that she attend the divorced/separated group at the Casa. As a divorced woman, I had always felt so accepted at the Casa and had been drawn here by the joyous celebration of the Eucharist. She said she attended the group and thought the counselor could really use some help because there were so many attendees. Mauro Pando was the counseling director at the time, so I called him and volunteered my services to help. Mauro was my mentor, and now, twenty-five years later, not only do I still facilitate the group, but in 2002 I succeeded him as the Casa's Director of Counseling. I am so grateful to the Franciscans and the Casa for being a safe place where I could transform my life and also for the opportunity to be part of a ministry Since 1951, the Casa has been renewing lives that serves others through spiritual growth, who come here to healing and transformation, heal. - Judith and serving others. See next page for information about the Casa's counseling sessions and support groups. Judith is currently seeking a volunteer office assistant to serve the Counseling Ministry.
