reFlectIng on god's Word
When you think of a king coming before his people, the image of someone riding on a donkey does not come to mind. If the Lone Ranger had Silver and Roy Rogers had Trigger, a similar white stallion would seem most fitting for a king. Not an ass, even a purebred one. But this image from the prophet Zechariah is one that must have planted itself in the imagination of Jesus, for that is how he made his great entrance into Jerusalem and was greeted as the Messiah. It was not the entrance of a powerful warrior, but of a gentle king whose rule would bring peace to the nations.
I have sometimes regretted the loss of St. Christopher from the calendar of saints. That legendary saint, whose name means "Christ-bearer," signaled that the risen Lord had now chosen to be carried by his disciples. We bear him in our bodies, minds, and hearts. We bring him to the world when we work to bring peace and healing and knowledge of the Father.
This necessitates being willing to take on the yoke of Jesus. I remember once hearing that the yokes Jesus made in the carpenter shop under Joseph's guidance rode easily on the shoulders of the animals, distributing evenly the weight they pulled. The yoke Jesus offers us is his teaching about the kingdom of heaven and how to live in it while in the world. This means putting on his attitude and spirit of attentive listening for the will of the Father--home schooling in the best sense.

reMInder - IlM - InstItute For leadershIp In MInIstryThe ILM is a three year program with tracks in English and Spanish. Students meet for two hours on Wednesday evenings from September to the beginning of May and once a month on Saturday. Courses are taught by faculty from Santa Clara University and by lay ecclesiastical ministers and clergy from the diocese. The curriculum includes Scripture, Church history, Prayer and Spirituality, the Social Justice teachings of the Church as well as sessions on communication skills, conflict management, the ethnic cultures of the diocese, the organizational structure of the Church.
I highly recommend the program and encourage those who are interested to visit the diocesan webpage: www.dsj.org where you can find out about schedules, courses, faculty, a listing of graduates by parish (there are 24 from St. Thomas Aquinas!) and other helpful information. Anne Grycz, parishioner, founder and former Director of ILM
Messages to the FaIthFul FroM the chanceryStatement on the Supreme Court Decision to Block Cancellation of DACA Program - The Diocese of San José applauds last week’s U.S. Supreme Court ruling, which rejects the administration’s decision to cancel the federal DACA program. The program provides work authorizations and legal protections to 650,000 people brought to the U.S. as children and often know America as their only home.Suspension of Non-Sacramental Events of More than 25 PeopleAfter much prayer and discussion and out of an abundance of caution, Bishop Cantú asks all Chancery departments, parishes, and schools not to hold in-person non-sacramental events of more than 25 people during the next fiscal year. These events, if not canceled, may be moved to online platforms or held in smaller groups for the safety of all. We understand this is disappointing to many, but we look forward to the day when we can safely resume these activities that mean so much to all of us.1. All parish missions, and pilgrimages.2. All meetings, events, and fundraisers, Communal Stations of the Cross, Quinceañeras, morning prayer, group Rosaries, and public devotions.We will keep updating you on this as new information becomes available. “REV UP THE SEMS” FUN RUN/Walk - VIRTUAL!!!: June 15-July 20.
