ST. PAUL ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH MANY CULTURES, MANY COUNTRIES, MANY LANGUAGES IN ONE BODY: ST. PAUL’S FAMILY

TODAY’S GOSPEL Jesus said to them, “The children of this age marry and remarry; but those who are deemed worthy to attain to the coming age and to the resurrection of the dead neither marry nor are given in marriage. They can no longer die, for they are like angels; and they are the children of God because they are the ones who will rise. That the dead will rise even Moses made known in the passage about the bush, when he called out ‘Lord,’ the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob; and he is not God of the dead, but of the living, for to him all are alive.”

EL EVANGELIO DE HOY Jesús les respondió: "En este mundo los hombres y las mujeres se casan, pero los que sean juzgados dignos de participar del mundo futuro y de la resurrección, no se casarán. Ya no pueden morir, porque son semejantes a los ángeles y son hijos de Dios, al ser hijos de la resurrección. Que los muertos van a resucitar, Moisés lo ha dado a entender en el pasaje de la zarza, cuando llama al Señor el Dios de Abraham, el Dios de Isaac y el Dios de Jacob. Porque él no es un Dios de muertos, sino de vivientes; todos, en efecto, viven para él".

GOSPEL REFLECTION

Throughout Jewish history it was traditional for Jews to demonstrate repentance through washing ceremonies. John the Baptist was preaching repentance for the coming of God's reign. His baptism may have been related to the purifying washings of the Essenes at Qumran near the

was God's anointed one. John answered that his baptism was only a preparation for "one mightier" who would aptize with "the Holy Spirit and fire" (v 16). Although

Jesus had no need of repentance, he entered the murky waters where the people had been baptized, thereby uniting himself with sinful humanity. The baptism of Jesus was another "epiphany," or manifestation of the divine presence. While Jesus was praying, the Spirit descended upon him, and God's voice was heard confirming Jesus as the "beloved Son" (v.22). On Calvary, Jesus would undergo a baptism of fire that would bring salvation to the whole world (Lk 12:49-50). This transforming fire would be poured out on the Church at Pentecost (Acts 2:1-4).

PARISH MINISTRY “As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God’s varied grace.” 1 Peter 4:10

LIFE’S LITTLE INSTRUCTION BOOK

The Sadducees, unlike the Pharisees, did not believe in immortality, nor in angels or evil spirits. Their religion was literally grounded in an earthly image of heaven. Jesus retorts by dealing with the fact of the resurrection. The scriptures give proof of it. In Exodus 3:6, when God manifests his presence to Moses in the burning bush, the Lord tells him that he is the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. He shows that the patriarchs who died hundreds of years previously were still alive in God. Jesus defeats their arguments by showing that God is a living God of a living people.

by showing that God is a living God of a living people. God was the friend of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob when they lived. That friendship could not cease with death. As Psalm 73:23-24 states: "I am continually with you; you hold my right hand. You guide me with your counsel, and afterward you will receive me to glory." The ultimate proof of the resurrection is the Lord Jesus and his victory over death when he rose from the tomb. Before Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead, he exclaimed: I am the resurrection and the life; he who believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live, and whoever lives and believes in me shall never die. Do you believe this? (John 11:25). Jesus asks us the same question. Do you believe in the resurrection?

The Holy Spirit reveals to us the eternal truths of God's unending love and the life he desires to share with us for all eternity. Paul the Apostle, quoting from the prophet Isaiah (Isaiah 64:4; 65:17) states: "What no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the heart of man conceived, what God has prepared for those who love him," God has revealed to us through the Spirit (1 Corinthians 2:9-10). The promise of paradise—heavenly bliss and unending life with an all-loving God—is beyond human reckoning. We have only begun to taste the first-fruits! For Reflection: Do you live now in the joy and hope of the life of the age to come?

Message from our Pastor: I would like to personally thank you from the bottom of my heart for your generosity and support given to our parish community. Adjacent is our Financial Report for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2016. We were not as profitable as last year, due to the installation of our Elevator and Resurrection Wall. Nevertheless, I am pleased with this great achievement to our parish. This wouldn’t have been accomplished if it weren’t for your continued generosity. May God bless you always, Fr. Leonardo Jaramillo, Ph.D.

Desde lo más profundo de mi corazón: “Muchas gracias por su continua generosidad. “El que da con alegría recibe en abundancia.” Que Dios los bendiga siempre, Padre Leonardo Jaramillo, Ph.D.
