Teen Reflection for Sunday June 5, 2016 Tenth Sunday in Ordinary Time
1 Kings 17:17–24, Psalm 30:2, 4, 5–6, 11, 12, 123, Galatians 1:11–19, Luke 7:11–17
Today we encounter another miracle of Jesus in the Gospel reading. This is no small miracle. Jesus
raises from the dead the son of a grieving widowed woman he encounters in Nain. This is the first
of three people that Jesus brings back to life. Jesus also brought Jairus’ daughter back from the
dead as well as his friend, Lazarus. Jesus’ miracle also echoes what happens in today’s Old Testament reading in which Elijah asks God to return the breath of the son of the woman he was staying
with. The son is brought back to life. So why did Jesus do this? In the Scripture account, it says that
“he was moved with pity for her” (Luke 7:13). He saw her pain and wanted to help just as he did in
so many of the other miracles. He helped without her even asking. Today we are reminded of the
divinity of Jesus. We have looked at the humanness of Jesus and what he had in common with us.
Now we see Jesus as the Son of God. We recognize that this is no ordinary man. Jesus didn’t do the
miracle to make a name for himself or his own glory. Many were afraid of Jesus after he brought
this man back to life. Still many recognized that “God has visited his people” (Luke 7:16). Jesus
helped and brought life because he saw the pain in the woman and he gave her son back to her.
The miracle was done because of love. We know and recognize the divinity in Jesus because of his
wondrous acts.
Reflection
Congratulations to our Graduates: From Left to Right- Curt Barnes, Jose Espinoza,
Christopher Knapstein, Mariah Daly, Liliana Flores, Alexis Angeles,
Sylvie Martinez, and Stanley Rivera with Father David.
Our prayer for you: May you come to know and
share the wonder and awe that is within you as you
grow in wisdom, knowledge and understanding. May
you be challenged and provoked along your journey of
faith. May God bless you and guide you to understand
your true calling in this world. In all these things, we
ask God to bless you this day. Amen.

Health and Wellness Ministries:
Body, Mind, and spirit
Challenge Ourselves. Learning a new
skill or taking on a new challenge to meet
a goal. Learning improves our mental fitness, while striving to meet our goals
builds skills and confidence.
Learning gives us a sense of progress and
achievement.
Deal with stress. We need to be aware of what triggers our stress and how
we react. We may be able to avoid some of the triggers and learn to prepare
for and or manage the others. Stress is part of life and affects us in different
ways. A balanced lifestyle can help us to manage stress better. If we have
trouble winding down, we may find relaxation breathing, yoga, or stretching
exercise.
Rest and refresh. Get plenty of sleep. Go to bed at regular time each day
and practice good health habits to get better sleep. Sleep restores both our
body and mind. Feelings of fatigue can still set in if we feel constantly rushed
and overwhelmed when we are awake. We can allow ourselves some unfocused time each day to refresh. We can let our mind wander, daydream or
simply watch the clouds go by for a while. It is OK to add to do nothing to
your to-do list.
Notice the here and now. Take a moment to notice each of our senses each
day. “Simply being in the moment” feeling the sun (we should not have trouble doing that) and wind on our face, notice the air we are breathing. Practicing mindfulness by focusing our attention on being in the moment. Making
a conscious effort to be aware of your inner and outer world is important for
our mental health.
Ask for help. This can be as simple as asking a friend to babysit while we
have some time out. Speaking to our doctor about where to find a counselor
or community mental health service.
Call the Health and Wellness ministries for help. Everyone's life journey has
bumpy bits and the people around who can help.

week the family, individual, or couple who has the chalice,
enters a thought, prayer, or scripture verse. Over time this
diary becomes a spiritual journal for the parish. Praying for
vocations is the most powerful way to support vocations. A
vocation is a call from the Holy Spirit; a gift from God that is
nurtured in prayer. When we pray for vocations, we lift up to
our Father those men and women whom he is calling in a
very special way. We hope that those who bring the cup
home will continue to pray for vocations daily.
The “Vocation Blessing Chalice” program started last month
(May 1st), and our parish started praying for vocations with
the "Vocation Blessing Chalice". Praying for vocations is a
responsibility and privilege of the laity.

10th Sunday in Ordinary Time
In the very difficult economic times of the last few years, many
families found themselves relying on resources that they had never
had to utilize in the past. Some households used their retirement
savings or tried to sell their homes after a job loss. Others found
themselves grateful for unemployment compensation even if it didn't pay all their bills. Some adult children found it necessary to
move back in with their parents, while some families found help
from a local food pantry or meal program-maybe one to which in
better times they actually made donations.
In Sunday's Gospel, the widow from Nain has lost her only son. In
the time of Jesus, this was not only a personal loss filled with grief,
but also a devastating economic event. There was no one on whom
she could rely for support. With her husband gone and now her only
son dead, the woman had nothing. She was in the very worst of
straits. That is, until Jesus came along. Suddenly, the widow had
renewed hope, as her son was raised up and restored to her. Her life
could go on.
The plight of our neighbors in need today is not so different from
that of the widow of Nain. While we might want to have Jesus walk
into town and give them their house or their job back, we know that
isn't going to happen. But that doesn't mean that something can't
happen. Indeed, something should! As the followers of Christ today,
we are his presence in this world. When there are people suffering,
we are the ones called upon to reach out and help. There might be
one or the other among us who actually can offer someone a job,
but most of us will help in other ways. It can be as simple as buying
one extra item every time we go grocery shopping to donate to the
local food pantry. We can all help!
Bingo! Bingo every Wednesday at 12:30
Noon. Everyone Welcome! Any questions
please call the parish office or Jerry Knuth
(863) 949-4504

Programa de Oración con el
Cáliz Vocacional
Comenzando este mes, nuestra parroquia va a empezar un nuevo
programa llamado “Programa de
oración con el caliz vocacional”. Este programa
anima a nuestras familias a orar regularmente por
las vocaciones sacerdotales y la vida consagrada.
Cada semana, una familia recibirá el Cáliz vocacional durante la Misa y se lo llevara a su hogar,
con la promesa de “orar por las vocaciones”
durante esa semana. La familia pondrá el cáliz en
un lugar prominente en su hogar y se reunirá
diariamente frente a el, pidiéndole a Dios, que ayude a concientizar la necesidad de las vocaciones en
nuestra parroquia. Se les suministraran panfletos y
libritos a la familia, diferentes para cada día. Al
finalizar la semana, la familia devolverá el caliz a
la iglesia, para que otra familia pueda hacer lo mismo. Esperamos que a través de la oración,
nuestra parroquia pueda convertirse en fuente de
vocaciones que sirvan a la diócesis y a la Iglesia. Si
le interesa, por favor vea a un miembro de la oficina o venga a la sacristía, después de misa a registrarse.
