Reflection from the Pastor

“The harvest is abundant but the laborers are few.” The image of harvesting and planting is very fresh on my mind because I just returned from the family farm in the Philippines. My family comes from a line of rice farmers. A few of my cousins who are still living there continue the tradition. There is a folk song that speaks about planting rice. It says that it is “never fun bent from morn to the set of sun, cannot stand and cannot sit, cannot rest for a little bit.” Perhaps that is the same with the work of building the Kingdom of God on earth. No wonder the laborers are few! However, the work of Lord is not only for a chosen few. The Opus Dei is for all the baptized. We are all called to be workers in the Lord’s vineyard. This means planting and nourishing the seeds of the Gospel in people’s minds and hearts. God will do the rest. But God doesn’t say it would be easy. Jesus says in today’s Gospel, “Behold, I am sending you like lambs among wolfs.” There will be people that will reject you and even persecute you for doing God’s work. It even happens within the Church. We are challenged to not give up but to persevere and carry on. May we answer the Lord’s call to follow him everyday of our lives.

Let us welcome Faataualofa Leasiolagi or “Alofa” to Newman Center/Holy Spirit Parish. She is the new Administrative Assistant of our parish. She will continue many of Chris’ duties and she will help us get organized in the office. You will have an opportunity to meet her this weekend during Hospitality Sunday. Welcome Alofa!

As always have a blessed week, Fr. Alfred Omar

Sunday Connection from Loyola Press

Today's Gospel begins immediately after the final verse in last Sunday's Gospel. After strong language about the difficulties of discipleship, Jesus immediately appoints 72 people to go ahead of him to every town and place he plans to visit, proclaiming that the Kingdom of God is at hand. He sends them in pairs. In the Law of Moses two witnesses were needed for a testimony to be credible. It was probably also a safer way to travel.

Jesus admits it will be difficult, that he is sending them out like lambs among wolves. Yet they are to bring noth-ing with them, not even a money bag or sandals. They are to greet no one on the way so as not to be distracted from their mission. When they enter a house, their mes-sage is simply “peace.” The response they will receive may be positive or negative. Either way, they are to know that the Kingdom of God is at hand. They are not to de-mand special treatment but eat and drink whatever is giv-en them. They are to stay in one house and are not to look around for one that provides better accommodations. They are to heal the sick as a sign that the Kingdom of God is at hand for them. Like Jesus' miracles, healing is a sign of the coming of the kingdom. If the town will not re-ceive them, they are to shake the dust from their feet and move on. Even in the case of such rejection they should know that the Kingdom of God is at hand.

When they return from their journeys, they are rejoicing because their mission has been successful. Demons were under their power because of Jesus' name. Jesus may have sent them out as lambs among wolves, but at the conclusion of this passage he assures them that they have been given power over the enemy and nothing will harm them, not even serpents and scorpions.

A key theme of today's Gospel and last Sunday's Gospel is discipleship—its challenges, its difficulties, and its re-wards. Sharing in the mission of Jesus is difficult, but everyone is called to do it, not just some professionals trained for ministry. Even for us today, the harvest is plen-tiful. We should pray to the master of the harvest to send out workers for his harvest.

Aloha and Mahalo Party for Chris Malano

On Friday July 19 beginning at 5:30pm we will gather to celebrate and thank Chris for his years of service to our Newman Community. Invitation are being distributed this weekend. You can RSVP by filling out the invitation or signing up on the door. Chris wants this to be a family style celebration, so we are asking everyone to bring your favorite pot luck dish to share. And if you can bring a beverage – wine, juice, soda, - that would be wonderful. Newman will provide a main dish. There will be entertainment, a “Wish you well” jar to write a note to Chris, a wine drop fund-raiser, and much more. If you are considering a gift for Chris, cash or gift cards (VISA, etc) would be most appreciated. He is limited in what he can bring with him but will have expenses during his time in the novitiate: purchasing an alb and other cleri-cal clothing, ground transportation, and travel to and from DC and home for the holidays and other incidentals.

PLEASE RSVP today!

If you have any questions, contact Alyce Dodge at alyce.dodge@gmail.com or Sharon Chiarucci at sharonchiarucci@gmail.com.

A Stewardship Moment

In today’s Gospel, we hear Jesus inviting his disciples to be evangelizers. “The harvest is abundant,” Jesus says. But those who are willing to invite others to a deeper relationship with the Lord are few. Good stew-ards who are willing to witness their Catholic faith to others know they are “like lambs among wolves.” They are encouraged to be gentle, patient and loving, know-ing they may face rejection and even fierce opposition. Jesus invites us to be better stewards of our faith, to give positive, courageous, joyful witness to others who have turned away from their relationship with him. Is there someone we should be reaching out to this week?

Welcome to Newman, Alofa!

We welcome Alofa Leasiolagi, our new Administrative Assistant, to Newman Center—Holy Spirit Parish! Alofa started on July 1 and will be working closely with our pastor, Fr.
