MISSION STATEMENT
June 24, 2018June 24, 2018Nativity of St. John the BaptistNativity of St. John the Baptist
The New Testament tells us nothing of John's early years, but we know that his pious, virtuous parents must have reared the boy with care, conscious always of the important work to which he was appointed, and imbuing him with a sense of his destiny.When John began final preparations for his mission, he was probably in his thirty second year. He with-drew into the harsh, rocky desert beyond the Jordan to fast and pray, as was the ancient custom of holy men. We are told that he kept himself alive by eating locusts and wild honey and wore a rough garment of camel's hair, tied with a leathern girdle. When he came back to start preaching in the villages of Ju-daea, he was haggard and uncouth, but his eyes burned with zeal and his voice carried deep convic-tion. The Jews were accustomed to preachers and prophets who gave no thought to outward appearanc-es, and they accepted John at once; the times were troubled, and the people yearned for reassurance and comfort. So transcendant was the power emanating from the holy man that after hearing him many be-lieved he was indeed the long awaited Messiah. John quickly put them right, saying he had come only to prepare the way, and that he was not worthy to un-loose the Master's sandals. His humility remained in-corruptible even when his fame spread to Jerusalem and members of the higher priesthood came to make inquiries and to hear him. "Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand," this was John's oft repeated theme. For the evils of the times his remedy was indi-vidual purification. "Every tree," he said, "that is not bringing forth good fruit is to be cut down and thrown into the fire." The reformation of each person's life must be complete the wheat must be separated from the chaff and the chaff burned "with unquencha-ble fire."The rite of baptism, a symbolic act signifying sincere repentance as well as a desire to be spiritually cleansed in order to receive the Christ, was so strong-ly emphasized by John that people began to call him "the baptizer." The Scriptures tell us of the day when Jesus joined the group of those who wished to receive baptism at John's hands. John knew Jesus for the Messiah they had so long expected, and at first ex-cused himself as unworthy. Then, in obedience to Je-sus, he acquiesced and baptized Him. Although sin-less, Jesus chose to be baptized in order to identify Himself with the human lot. And when He arose from the waters of the Jordan, where the rite was per-formed, "the heavens opened and the Spirit as a dove descended. And there came a voice from the heav-ens, Thou art my beloved Son, in Thee I am well pleased" (Mark i, 11).
24 de Junio de 2018La Natividad de San Juan Bautista
El Nuevo Testamento no nos dice nada de la infancia de Juan el Bautista, pero nosotros sabemos que sus papas era piadosos, castos y dirigieron al niño con cuidado, siempre consientes de la importante labor que se les había dado, y lo educaron para lo que iba a ser su des-tino.
Cuando Juan comenzó las preparaciones finales para su misión, el tendría alrededor de treinta y dos años. El se retiró hacia el árido y rocoso desierto detrás del Jor-dán para ayunar y hacer oración, como era la costum-bre de los hombres santos de la antigüedad. Sabemos que el se mantenía vivo alimentándose de langostas y miel silvestre; y vestía con ropa de pelo de camello y tenia un cinturón de cuero. Cuando el regresó a predicar en los aldeas de Judea, su apariencia era demacrada y tosca, pero en sus ojos se veía un ardiente entusiasmo y su voz transmitía una profunda fe. Los Judíos estaban acostumbrados a ver predicadores y profetas que no les preocupaba tu apariencia externa, por eso aceptaron a Juan rápido; esos tiempos eran difíciles, y la gente año-raba escuchar noticias consoladoras. Era tan sobresa-liente el poder que salía de este hombre santo que lue-go de escucharlo, mucha gente creía que él era el muy esperado Mesías. Juan rápidamente aclaro esto dicien-do que el había venido solo para preparar el camino, que el no era digno de soltar la sandalia de el Maestro. Su humildad era incorrupta hasta cuando su fama se regó por Jerusalén y los sumos sacerdotes venían a preguntarle y a escucharlo. “ Arrepiéntanse, el Reino de los Cielos esta cerca,” esta era el tema que Juan re-petía a menudo. El decía que la maldad de esos tiem-pos se remediaba con la purificación personal. “Cada árbol,” el decía, “que no de buen fruto será cortado y tirado al fuego.” La reforma de la vida de cada persona debe ser completa el trigo debe ser separado de la paja y la paja será quemada “con un fuego inapagable.”
El rito del bautismo, es un simbólico acto que da a cono-cer el sincero arrepentimiento y también el deseo de ser limpiado espiritualmente para así recibir a Cristo, era tan fuertemente recalcado por Juan que la gente le co-menzó a llamar “ el bautista.” Las escrituras nos dicen de el día que Jesús se unió al grupo de aquellos que querían ser bautizados por Juan. Juan conocía a Jesús como el Mesías esperado por mucho tiempo, y cuando vio a Jesús, Juan no se sentía digno de bautizarlo. En-tonces, en obediencia a Jesús, el acepto y bautizo a Jesús. Aunque El no tenia pecado, Jesús acepto ser bautizado para así ser reconocido como uno mas. Y cuando Jesús salió de las aguas del Jordán, en ese mo-mento, en el rito se cumple que, “los cielos se abrieron y el Espíritu descendió como paloma . Y una voz de los cielos se escuchó, “Este es mi hijo amado, en el que tengo complacencia.” (Marcos 1,11).

Religious Freedom Week will take place from June 22 29, 2018. The observance begins with the feast day of St. Thomas More and St. John Fisher, includes the Nativity of St. John the Baptist, and ends with the feast of Sts. Peter and Paul.
Following the week's theme,Catholics across the U.S. are encouraged to reflect
on the importance of religious freedom if the Church is to have the space to continue to serve in areas like educa-tion, adoption and foster care, health care, and migration and refugee services. We are also invited to pray for our brothers and sisters who face intense persecution in other parts of the world.
The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops offers "Pray Reflect Act" one pagers one for each day of the week on different religious liberty topics. The materials are meant to inspire people to learn more about religious liberty from a Catholic perspective, to pray about particular issues, and give them the tools to act on what they learn, whether it's by finding ways for their parish to serve their community or perhaps even by contacting their lawmakers to promote legislation supporting religious liberty. More information and additional religious liberty resources are available at www.usccb.org/ReligiousFreedomWeek.

Serra International Building a Culture of Vocations
Place your vocations in Mary’s Hands. I don’t know where I would be without the Blessed Mother. When I was in high school I struggled to discern God’s will for my life. Apriest assured me that if I prayed the rosary everyday,Mary would tell me what her Son wanted me to do. Aftersome time, the answer became clear. God wanted me to become a priest. As I now prepare for priestly ordination,my advise to anyone struggling to discern his or her voca-tion is to pray to Mary. Place your vocation in her handsand she will always lead you to her Son.
