Jesus frequently used the image of a harvest to convey the coming of God's reign on earth. The harvest is the completion of much labor and growth, beginning with the sowing of seeds, then growth to maturity, and finally the harvest. In the same way the word of God is sown in the hearts of each one of us who hear his word, accept it with trust and obedience, and then share the abundant fruit of God's word to others. The harvest Jesus had in mind was not only the gathering in of the people of Israel, but all the peoples of the world. John the Evangelist tells us "God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." What does Jesus mean when he says his disciples must be "lambs in the midst of wolves" ? This certainly refers to the second coming of the Lord Jesus when all will be united under the Lordship of Jesus I was born in El Salvador on September 5, 1959. I am the oldest of four, one sister and two brothers; one of my brothers is a diocesan priest in El Salvador. My father is still alive and my mother passed to the house of the Father five years ago. I moved to the United States when I was seventeen years old, ten years later I met the Missionaries of the Holy Spirit in Los Angeles, CA, where I lived since I moved to the States. I joined the Congregation of the Missionaries of the Holy Spirit on July 3, 1988, that was the day I started a new adventure in my life. After three months of postulancy, I entered the novitiate, a formation stage of two years. In the novitiate I wanted to confirm God’s calling to consecrate my life in the Congregation of the Missionaries of the after he has put down his enemies and established the reign of God over the heavens and the earth. In the meantime, the disciples must expect opposition and persecution from those who would oppose the Gospel. Jesus came to lay down his life for us, as our sacrificial lamb, to be expiation for our sins and the sins of the world. We, in turn, must be willing to offer our lives with gratitude and service for our Savior Jesus Christ. What is the meaning of Jesus appointing seventy disciples to the ministry of the word? Seventy was a significant number in biblical times. Moses chose seventy elders to help him in the task of leading the people through the wilderness. The Jewish Sanhedrin, the governing council for the nation of Israel, was composed of seventy members. In Jesus' times seventy was held to be the number of nations throughout the world. Jesus commissioned the seventy to speak in his name and to act with his power. He gave his disciples instructions for how they were to carry out their ministry. They must go and serve as people without deceit, full of charity and peace. They must give their Holy Spirit. I made my first religious profession on August 11, 1990, a further step to reaffirm my vocation. In my profession I made my first commitment to Jesus to live poor, obedient and chaste. In September of the same year, I began the stage of philosophy, this stage was for 4 years, which opened new horizons in my life and strengthened my desire to belong to God. In 1995 I started the stage of ‘Efosa’ (internship), which was to live in a Parish community for one year, I was sent to Saint Martha Parish in Huntington Park. I began to live what they taught me in the novitiate and philosophy on the lifestyle of the Missionaries of the Holy Spirit, this was a very cheerful dynamic stage; working in parish ministry also helped me to reaffirm my priestly vocation. Finally, the last stage of basic formation was the theological studies, which began in September 1996 at St. John Seminary in Camarillo California, a time of consolidation in my life in all areas. After finishing my theological training I was ordained a priest on August 12, 2000. full attention to the proclamation of God's kingdom. They must travel with only what was essential, in order to concentrate on the task of speaking the word of the God. They must do their work, freely to others, without expecting any payment. Jesus wants his disciples to be dependent on him and not on themselves. Jesus makes it clear that the true source of our joy is God, and God alone. Jesus assures his disciples that he has all power over evil, including the power of Satan and the evil spirits. In fact, that is why Jesus came into the world: to overthrow the evil one. We, as disciples of Jesus, have been given spiritual authority and power for overcoming the works of darkness and evil. God gives us his lifegiving word that we may have abundant life in him. Jesus wills to work in each of us for his glory. God shares his word with us and he commands us to speak it confidently and plainly to others. Brothers and Sisters, are we ready to witness the truth and joy of the Gospel by word and example to those around us? Fr. Jose Gerardo Alberto, M.Sp.S In 2000, I started my priestly ministry in the community of Saint Matthew’s Parish in Hillsboro, OR. In 2004, I was assigned as Superior and Rector of the Missionaries of the Holy Spirit theology house in Oxnard California, and for three years this theology community was at South Bend, Indiana. In 2011, I was assigned to the House of Studies in Mount Angel Oregon, as Superior and Rector of the Missionaries of the Holy Spirit House of Studies. In 2016, I was assigned to St. Elizabeth Ann Seton’s parish, in Bothell Washington, as Superior and Pastor of this parish Community. I tend to respond to each of the previous assignments with faith and trust in God, and I assure you that this is not different in any way. I come to Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton’s community with great enthusiasm, faith, and trust that God wants me here for a reason, and that He will guide me in the process. I rely on your prayers and support in order for me to do the will of God at its best in this community. Fr.

Serví allí por tres años y el año pasado me asignaron de Promotor Vocacional en la Casa del Noviciado en Long Beach, California. Ahora regreso de nuevo a esta comunidad de Santa Elizabeth Ann Seton. Me siento muy contento de volver con la familia que me vio crecer como hermano, diácono y sacerdote. Regreso con la misión de caminar juntos en la fe y juntos trabajar en los proyectos que el Espíritu Santo nos pide a todos los Misioneros del Espíritu Santo: fomentar en la comunidad parroquial la Espiritualidad de la Cruz y las vocaciones a la vida religiosa y sacerdotal.

Being in this parish for five years was a beautiful and meaningful experience, sharing my faith with you in moments of joy and sorrow. In 2012 I was assigned Associate Pastor at St. Matthew’s parish in Hillsboro, Oregon, where I served that community for three years. Last year, I was assigned Vocation Director for our Province and lived in Long Beach, California. Now I am coming back home to St. Elizabeth Ann Seton.

Please, pray for us, and thank you for your love and support. Many blessings to all of you. 6 | The SETON Sunday News | Fourteenth Sunday, 07/03/16 SECCION en Español Hermanos y hermanas, Cuando Jesús llamó a setenta de sus discípulos para ir a la misión, les dio la visión de un vasto campo que está listo para ser cosechado para el reino de Dios. Jesús utiliza con frecuencia la imagen de una cosecha para transmitir la venida del reino de Dios en la tierra. La cosecha es la finalización de muchas manos en la obra y el crecimiento, que comienza con la siembra de semillas, el crecimiento hasta la madurez, y finalmente la cosecha. personas sin engaño, llenos de amor y de paz. Ellos deben dedicarse a la proclamación del reino de Dios. Ellos deben viajar sólo con lo esencial, con el fin de concentrarse en la tarea de transmitir la palabra de Dios. Ellos deben hacer su trabajo, gratuitamente para los demás, sin esperar pago. Jesús quiere que sus discípulos se apoyen en Él y no en sí mismos. Jesús deja claro que la verdadera fuente de nuestra alegría es Dios, y sólo Dios. Jesús asegura a sus discípulos que él tiene todo el poder sobre el mal, incluyendo sobre Satanás y los espíritus malignos. De hecho, es por eso que Jesús vino al mundo: para derrocar al maligno. Nosotros, como discípulos de Jesús, hemos recibido la autoridad espiritual y el poder ¿Cuál es el significado de que Jesús nombra a setenta discípulos para el para superar las obras de las tinieblas y del ministerio de la palabra? Setenta er a un mal. número significativo en los tiempos Dios nos da vida a través de su palabra bíblicos. Moisés escogió setenta ancianos para que tengamos vida abundante en él. para que le ayudaran en la tarea de Jesús quiere trabajar en cada uno de conducir al pueblo a través del desierto. El nosotros para su gloria. Dios comparte su Sanedrín, el consejo de gobierno de la palabra con nosotros y nos manda a hablar nación de Israel, se compone de setenta con confianza y claridad a los demás. miembros. En tiempos de Jesús setenta se Hermanos y hermanas, ¿estamos entendía como el número de naciones, o preparados para ser testigos de la pueblos, en todo el mundo. Jesús envió a verdad y la alegría del Evangelio con la los setenta a hablar en su nombre y para palabra y ejemplo para los que nos actuar con su poder. rodean? ¿Qué quiere decir Jesús cuando dice a sus discípulos que deben ser "corderos en medio de lobos"? Esto sin duda se refiere a la segunda venida del Señor Jesús cuando todos se unirán bajo el señorío de Jesús después de que haya derrotado a sus enemigos y establezca el reino de Dios sobre los cielos y la tierra. Mientras tanto, los discípulos deben esperar oposición y la persecución de aquellos que se oponen al Evangelio. Jesús vino a dar su vida por nosotros, como nuestro cordero de sacrificio, para expiar nuestros pecados y los pecados del mundo. Nosotros, a su vez, debemos estar dispuestos a ofrecer nuestra vida con gratitud en el servicio a nuestro Salvador Jesucristo. De la misma manera la palabra de Dios se siembra en los corazones de cada uno de nosotros que escuchamos su palabra, la aceptamos con confianza y obediencia, y luego compartimos el fruto abundante de la palabra de Dios a los demás. La cosecha que Jesús tenía en mente no sólo fue reunir al pueblo de Israel, sino a todos los pueblos del mundo. Juan el Evangelista nos dice que "Dios amó tanto al mundo que dio a su Él dio instrucciones a sus discípulos Hijo único, para que todo aquel que en él sobre la forma en que debían llevar a cabo cree no se pierda, sino que tenga vida su ministerio.

Mario Rodriguez, MSpS————— This is the statement that flows and moves from the bottom of my heart: “Jesus has done it all.” Fr. Felix used this expression as the title for one of his letters in which he talked about the history of the Congregation of the Missionaries of the Holy Spirit. Fr. Felix could clearly see the action of God in our history; Jesus had helped us and given us the necessary graces for the Congregation to exist and develop. Amidst a sea of difficulties, the Congregation had been able to move forward, thanks to Jesus’ Divine intervention. My life and your life are also Divine interventions. We’ve had many successes and many happy times in our lives. We have grown and reached places we couldn’t imagine. We have avoided unexpected situations and dangers. We’ve had many moments of triumph and success. We have become great. And Jesus has been constantly present in our lives, and has been acting in our lives. And it is Jesus Himself who has taken us to these heights, and we know it! But now there can be a new beginning in our spiritual lives. This can be the moment to acknowledge that JESUS HAS DONE IT ALL. That in him we acknowledge the giver of all graces. Jesus is the source and goal of our whole life. Now, as Catholics, it is our turn to acknowledge that JESUS HAS DONE IT ALL in our lives, and we have just been unprofitable servants (Lk 17:10) who have just been led by Him. Jesus has called us to be co-sharers in His salvific mission and we have just allowed ourselves to be led by the Holy Spirit. Jesus has done it all in our parish, in our families and our personal life. I invite you to start looking at your life from the point of view of Jesus’ actions, and not from the perspective of your own achievements. In the end, all we need to say to the Lord is: “Increase our faith.” (Lk 17:5) so we can discover that YOU have done it all in our lives. Jesus lo ha hecho Todo Esta es la frase que ha estado brotando y moviéndose en el fondo de mi corazón: “Jesús lo ha hecho todo”. Esa es la frase que el P. Félix utilizaba para titular una de sus cartas donde nos expresaba la historia de la congregación de Misioneros del Espíritu Santo. El P. Félix descubría el actuar claro de Dios en nuestra historia; Jesús había ayudado y dado las gracias necesarias para que la Congregación existiera y se desarrollara. En medio de todas las dificultades tenidas se había salido adelante, gracias a la intervención divina de Jesús. Mi vida y tu vida son también intervenciones divinas. Hemos tenido muchos éxitos y muchos momentos felices en nuestras vidas. Hemos crecido y llegado a lugares que no imaginábamos. Nos hemos vistos librados de situaciones y peligros inesperados. Hemos tenido muchos momentos de éxito y de triunfo. Hemos llegado a ser grandes. Y Jesús ha estado muy presente en nuestras vidas y Él ha estado actuando en ellas. Y Jesús es quien nos ha impulsado y llevado a esas alturas ¡Y lo sabemos! Pero ahora en nuestra vida puede iniciar un nuevo momento en nuestra vida espiritual. Puede ser el tiempo de reconocer que JESUS LO HA HECHO TODO. Que en Él reconocemos al dador de todas las gracias. Jesús es la fuente y la meta de toda nuestra existencia. Ahora como católicos nos toca empezar a reconocer que JESUS LO HA HECHO TODO en nuestras vidas y que nosotros sólo hemos sido siervos inútiles (Lc 17, 10.) que se han dejado guiar por ÉL. Jesús nos ha llamado a ser copartícipes de su misión salvadora y nosotros sólo nos hemos dejado llevar por su Espíritu. Jesús lo ha hecho todo en nuestra parroquia, en nuestras familias y en nuestra vida personal. Te invito a que empieces a ver tu vida desde la actuación de Jesús y no desde tus propios logros. Al final lo que tenemos que decirle al Señor es: “Auméntanos la fe” (Lc 17, 5) para poder descubrir que TÚ eres quien ha hecho todo en nuestra vida. 8 | The SETON Sunday News | Fourteenth Sunday, 07/03/16 A WAITING HARVEST Vocation Awareness PADRE SERRA SAYS: “Lifestyles” and “Prayer Styles” of sisters and brothers in “community” are described by the National Coalition for Church Vocations as follows: Personal choice within the specific spirit and custom of a community encourages a great deal of creative, thoughtful and prayerful decision-making about how sisters and brothers live and grow holy. Again, community is a frame of reference. Some people find living in a traditional convent or a very large community house best suited to them and to their current ministry or apostolate. Others are drawn to small-group living, perhaps in a small home or apartment. For still others, the decision must be to live alone — and yet to be very community-oriented during this interim. Basically, it’s not really where you live, but why and how you do it. That’s true about praying, too. Everybody does it, but there are many different ways in which we can relate to God. The community helps here, too. Sisters and brothers pray — frequently within very ancient traditions of prayer, constantly finding new ways of keeping in close touch with God. Individually, they have their special ways of being with God, listening to Him and responding to His love. The variety of lifestyles and prayer forms evident in the so called “active” communities is also apparent in contemplative groups of religious. Men and women attracted to contemplative life learn from the great prayers of the past even as they explore new forms of contemplative prayer and contemplative living. This vocation is a particularly precious gift to contemporary society and culture. Among some contemplatives there is renewed interest in “hermitages.” Through this kind of life some are finding, in greater isolation and solitude, an even more intense form of spiritual life.

Wednesday July 13th at 11:30 (to avoid the noon rush) we will be going to lunch at: China City Restaurant at 15402 Main Street in Mill Creek. Everyone is welcome to join us at lunch and hopefully join our fun group. If you would like to knit but don’t know how; Jacqueline enjoys teaching or just come and share your talents with us. Are you looking for low-cost, family fun that will impact eternity? Then join us at the Rally Round 4 UltraSound at Fort Steilacoom Park, Lakewood, Washington on FRIDAY AUG 12 and/or SATURDAY AUG 13 to support 4US.org. Events include bike rides of 21 & 42 miles; 5K, 10K & Half-Marathons Races & Walks; a Motorcycle Rally; a Family Fun Festival; and The World’s Largest Squirt Gun Fight. Volunteers needed, please contact Steve Robinson [email protected] Your parish is here to assist you and your family as you go through difficult transitions and losses. Don’t hesitate to call on us for support and assistance. Help us do what Pope Francis asks of us “to become involved by word and deed in people’s daily lives’ and be ‘supportive, standing by people every step of the way.’ (The Joy of the Gospel) Information in the narthex: [email protected]. In today’s Gospel Jesus sent “messengers on ahead of Him.” (Luke 9:52) To be the messengers of God, we must know well what it is God wants to say and do through us, as he sends us out to bring his love to others. In the first half of June, you were the “messenger of God” in bringing hope to the poor. Your gifts enabled the Society of St. Vincent de Paul to assist ten families with food, with utility and rent bills, and with other needs. On behalf of Catholic Daughters of the Americas we would like to thank you for your support at our recent Bake Sale. We appreciate the contributions you have made this past year as it enabled us to donate financially to the following charities: Smile Train, Tutwiler, Pregnancy Aid, 4US, Gabriel Project and St. Vincent de Paul. See you in September when fall arrives and we commence another successful year. CDA Registration is now open for all Faith For mation Programs.
