Liturgy and Life<br />
At is heart, the Eucharist is a sacrament <strong>of</strong> communion, bringing us closer to God and to our brothers and sisters in the Body<br />
<strong>of</strong> Christ. If we live the fruits <strong>of</strong> the Eucharist in our daily lives, we will fill our families and our communities with the life-giving qualities<br />
that the Liturgy brings: hospitality, concern for the poor and vulnerable, self-<strong>of</strong>fering and thanksgiving.<br />
An ancient saying in the <strong>Church</strong> reads “lex orandi, lex credendi”, meaning that the law <strong>of</strong> prayer is the law <strong>of</strong> faith. More<br />
loosely as we pray, so we believe. To that we might add lex vivendi, meaning that as we pray, so we believe, and so we live. In the<br />
third edition <strong>of</strong> the Roman Missal, the bishops and translators have taken great care to ensure that the prayers accurately and fully<br />
reflect the mysteries <strong>of</strong> our faith. Thus, the words that we pray in each liturgical celebration will help to form and strengthen our<br />
understanding <strong>of</strong> the faith.<br />
However, if the effects <strong>of</strong> the Liturgy stop at the doors <strong>of</strong> the church, we have not made our prayer and our faith part <strong>of</strong> our<br />
law <strong>of</strong> living. The Catechism <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Catholic</strong> <strong>Church</strong> (CCC) teaches that the Eucharist helps us to grow in union with Christ, avoid sin,<br />
increase in charity, strengthen communion with our brothers and sisters, and recognize Christ in the poorest and most vulnerable<br />
members <strong>of</strong> society (see CCC, nos 1391-1397). But what does that mean in daily life?<br />
LIVING A LIFE OF PRAYER<br />
Our prayer lives should not be limited to a single hour on Sunday mornings. In fact, the richer our prayer lives are throughout<br />
the week, the more fully we will be able to enter into the Sunday celebration <strong>of</strong> the Eucharist. Here are some ways to make your daily<br />
life more prayerful:<br />
✠✠ Try attending daily Mass at least once a week. Your parish may have an early morning Mass, or a church near your<br />
job may <strong>of</strong>fer a lunchtime Mass.<br />
✠✠ <strong>St</strong>op in a church before or after work or on your lunch hour for fifteen minutes <strong>of</strong> quiet prayer before the Blessed<br />
Sacrament.<br />
✠✠ Make it a practice to say grace before every meal - even if you are eating in the car.<br />
✠✠ Schedule time for family prayer at least once a week. This prayer can be as simple as saying the Our Father or a<br />
decade <strong>of</strong> the Rosary together.<br />
✠✠ Take time during the week to read or listen to the readings for the upcoming Sunday. The readings are available<br />
online (imprint and audio) at www.usccb.org/nab.<br />
✠✠<br />
✠✠<br />
Begin your day with a brief prayer <strong>of</strong> thanksgiving to God, <strong>of</strong>fering your day to Him.<br />
End your day with an examination <strong>of</strong> conscience, looking at your successes and failures in what you have done or<br />
what you have failed to do. If you are aware <strong>of</strong> the serious sin, receive the Sacrament <strong>of</strong> Penance before you<br />
receive Holy Communion again.<br />
LIVING A LIFE OF LOVING SERVICE<br />
Celebrating the Eucharist Liturgy and receiving Holy Communion should strengthen us to conform our lives more closely to<br />
the example <strong>of</strong> Christ. As Jesus knelt before his Apostles to wash their feet (see Jn. 13), giving them an example <strong>of</strong> humble service,<br />
so must we who bear the name Christian live our lives in service to our brothers and sisters.<br />
To help us in this endeavor, <strong>Church</strong> Tradition has identified works <strong>of</strong> mercy. These fourteen practices demand great sacrifice<br />
and generosity, but they also draw us more deeply into conformity with the Lord. Focusing on one <strong>of</strong> these works each week may be<br />
a practical way to integrate them into our personal, family, and parish lives.<br />
Corporal Works <strong>of</strong> Mercy<br />
Spiritual Works <strong>of</strong> Mercy<br />
✠✠ Feeding the hungry ✠✠ Converting Sinners<br />
✠✠ Sheltering the homeless ✠✠ Instructing the ignorant<br />
✠✠ Clothing the naked ✠✠ Advising the doubtful<br />
✠✠ Visiting the sick ✠✠ Comforting the sorrowful<br />
✠✠ Visiting the imprisoned ✠✠ Bearing wrongs patiently<br />
✠✠ Giving drink to the thirsty ✠✠ Forgiving injuries<br />
✠✠ Burying the dead ✠✠ Praying for the living and dead<br />
Our parishes and civil communities <strong>of</strong>fer numerous opportunities to live out these works, form assisting with religious education<br />
classes or volunteering at a food bank to encouraging our legislators to put forward policies that protect the life and dignity <strong>of</strong> each<br />
person. As we grow in conformity to Christ, we see more clearly that all people are made in the image and likeness <strong>of</strong> God<br />
(see Gn. 1:26) and so have an inherent value and dignity. By helping to build a more just and compassionate society, we act as<br />
Christ’s Body in the world.<br />
IT ALL COMES BACK TO THE EUCHARIST<br />
Living the Christian life is not easy. “What material food produces in our bodily life, Holy Communion wonderfully achieves in<br />
our spiritual life. Communion with the flesh <strong>of</strong> the risen Christ . . .preserves, increases, and renews the life <strong>of</strong> grace received at<br />
Baptism. This growth in Christian life needs the nourishment <strong>of</strong> Eucharist Communion, the bread for our pilgrimage” (CCC, no 1392).<br />
And so, each Sunday, we return to the Eucharistic table, bringing all our efforts <strong>of</strong> the previous week, the joys and the<br />
sorrows. We gather with our brothers and sisters in the Lord and, together with our priest, we join these efforts to the perfect sacrifice<br />
<strong>of</strong> Christ, asking that God will receive what we <strong>of</strong>fer back to him in humble thanksgiving. The Catechism explains it as follows:<br />
The <strong>Church</strong> which is the Body <strong>of</strong> Christ participates in the <strong>of</strong>fering <strong>of</strong> her Head. With him, she<br />
herself is <strong>of</strong>fered whole and entire. She unites herself to his intercession with the Father for all men.<br />
In the Eucharist the sacrifice <strong>of</strong> Christ becomes also the sacrifice <strong>of</strong> the members <strong>of</strong> his Body. The<br />
lives <strong>of</strong> the faithful, their praise, sufferings, prayer, and work, are united with those <strong>of</strong> Christ and<br />
with his total <strong>of</strong>fering, and so acquire a new value. Christ’s sacrifice present on the altar makes it<br />
possible for all generations <strong>of</strong> Christians to be united. (CCC, no 1368)<br />
Then, strengthened by Holy Communion, we are once again sent forth into the world to glorify the Lord in our lives.

SAFETY CONCERN!<br />
Within the last several weeks, there have been a number <strong>of</strong> incidents <strong>of</strong> vandalism and theft from the surrounding<br />
neighborhood, our own parking lot and the larger Fresno and County areas - business and residential.<br />
As mentioned before, these tough economic times may increase the incidents and we want you all to be careful and alert. PLEASE do<br />
not leave anything visible on the seat <strong>of</strong> your vehicle. What may seem like an incidental item to you may appear valuable to someone<br />
else. Example: A three ring notebook was taken & thought to be a lap top! If you have an older model vehicle, which has been the<br />
most frequent target, consider adding the club to the steering wheel or a kill switch on the motor.<br />
Please call the police if you witness vandalism or suspicious activity. You may also contact Turner Security at 486-3466.<br />
Cameras have been installed in the lot, which have been helpful. Please call the Parish Office if you need assistance during business<br />
hours or if we can help in any way. 439-0124 ext. <strong>10</strong>3

Saint Felicity was a noble Roman matron, distinguished above all for her virtue. This mother<br />
<strong>of</strong> seven children raised her sons in the fear <strong>of</strong> the Lord, and after the death <strong>of</strong> her husband, served God<br />
in continence, concerning herself only with good works. Her good examples and those <strong>of</strong> her children<br />
brought a number <strong>of</strong> pagans to renounce their superstitions, and also encouraged the Christians to show<br />
themselves worthy <strong>of</strong> their vocation. The pagan priests, furious at seeing their gods abandoned,<br />
denounced her. She appeared with her pious sons before the prefect <strong>of</strong> Rome, who exhorted her to<br />
sacrifice to idols, but in reply heard a generous confession <strong>of</strong> faith.<br />
“Wretched woman,” he said to her, “how can you be so barbarous as to expose your children to<br />
torments and death? Have pity on these tender creatures, who are in the flower <strong>of</strong> their age and can aspire to the highest<br />
positions in the Empire!” Felicity replied, “My children will live eternally with Jesus Christ, if they are faithful; they will<br />
have only eternal torments to await, if they sacrifice to idols. Your apparent pity is but a cruel impiety.” Then, turning to<br />
her children, she said: “Look towards heaven, where Jesus Christ is waiting for you with His Saints! Be faithful in His<br />
love, and fight courageously for your souls.” . . . .<br />
. . . . .When the interrogation was finished, the Saints underwent the penalty <strong>of</strong> the lash and then were taken to prison.

Fifteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time<br />
July <strong>10</strong>, 20<strong>11</strong><br />
Just as from the heavens the rain and snow come down and do not return there<br />
till they have watered the earth, making it fertile and fruitful, … so shall my<br />
word be that goes forth from my mouth; (Isaiah 55:<strong>10</strong>a,<strong>11</strong>a)<br />
You have visited the land and watered it; greatly have you enriched it.<br />
(Psalm 65:<strong>10</strong>)<br />
For creation awaits with eager expectation the revelation <strong>of</strong> the children <strong>of</strong><br />
God; (Romans 8:19)<br />
But the seed sown on rich soil is the one who hears the word and understands<br />
it, who indeed bears fruit and yields a hundred or sixty or<br />
thirtyfold." (Matthew 13:23)<br />
Reflection<br />
How is God’s word spread on Earth?<br />
How is the Earth enriched by those who “hears and understand it?”<br />
How are you able to hear the Word <strong>of</strong> God and act on it?<br />
How are you called to evangelize yourself, your family, your community, and<br />
your world?<br />
More pressing than ever are the motives for evangelization. One thinks <strong>of</strong><br />
that day on which Jesus saw the people in need <strong>of</strong> food and responded by telling his<br />
apostles, "There is no need for them to go away; give them some food<br />
yourselves" (Mt 14:16). He says the same thing to us who have been made rich by<br />
his gifts <strong>of</strong> grace, truth, and eternal life. All around us people are starving for faith<br />
and love, for hope and meaning in their lives. Because the Lord Jesus has done so<br />
much for us, we cannot refuse to share the gifts we have been given.<br />

GOD’S WORDS<br />
Each day we are bombarded with thousands <strong>of</strong> words. From the<br />
moment our clock radios click on in the morning, until the last moment <strong>of</strong> the<br />
day when the television is turned <strong>of</strong>f or someone bids us “good-night,” our life<br />
is filled with words. Some words that we hear bring news that leaves us<br />
feeling low. Some words lift our spirits. Many <strong>of</strong> the words we hear are trying<br />
to get us to buy something. Some words are hurtful. Today the <strong>Church</strong> focuses<br />
our attention on hearing the word <strong>of</strong> God. Are God’s words just more <strong>of</strong> the<br />
same - part <strong>of</strong> the endless stream <strong>of</strong> words that flow into our ears each day?<br />
The challenge today is to allow God’s word to inspire us in new ways so that<br />
our outlook and attitudes align themselves more closely with the heart and<br />
mind <strong>of</strong> Christ Jesus.<br />
CHALLENGE TO CHANGE<br />
At this time <strong>of</strong> the year it is easy to see<br />
today’s Gospel in practice. Farmers<br />
and gardeners sowed, weeded,<br />
fertilized, and watered, and now begin<br />
to see the fruits <strong>of</strong> their labor. They<br />
sowed more seed than they actually<br />
needed, as nature is generous but also<br />
wasteful: no one who grows plants can<br />
tell you how many will survive and<br />
produce seed <strong>of</strong> their own. The parable<br />
<strong>of</strong> the sower, like all Jesus’ parables,<br />
stands conventional wisdom on its<br />
head and <strong>of</strong>fers layers <strong>of</strong> new meaning.<br />
In Jesus’ day, the way <strong>of</strong> righteousness<br />
was spelled out in the Jewish<br />
scriptures. The person who lived as a<br />
pious Jew, following the Law <strong>of</strong> Moses,<br />
could be assured <strong>of</strong> many blessings.<br />
Yet, as Jesus <strong>of</strong>ten demonstrated,<br />
following the rules and living the life<br />
are not the same thing. Why does the<br />
seed <strong>of</strong> the word not bear fruit in<br />
everyone who hears it? Jesus quotes<br />
the prophet Isaiah, who describes<br />
people as dull <strong>of</strong> hearing with their<br />
eyes shut. Jesus explains this as a form<br />
<strong>of</strong> self-protection. If people really hear<br />
and really see, they might have to<br />
change. We may hear this Gospel with<br />
a hint <strong>of</strong> complacency. It is possible to<br />
hear this parable and enjoy it as a<br />
simple tale. After all, we understand it,<br />
and we are not like the rest. But is this<br />
true? Do we really hear the word? Are<br />
we really seeking its meaning for us?<br />
Do we allow it to take root in the good<br />
soil in our lives, or do we push it to the<br />
edges or let it get choked out by other<br />
priorities? Disciples are the ones who<br />
water and nurture it, and ask Jesus to<br />
help them produce abundant fruit.<br />

Blessed Kateri Tekakwitha<br />
Tekakwitha was born in 1656 in Ossernenon, a Mohawk village in upper New York, where Isaac Jogues<br />
met his death. Her mother was a devout <strong>Catholic</strong> <strong>of</strong> the Algonquin nation but had been taken captive in a war with<br />
the Mohawks. Tekakwitha’s father was a Mohawk chief. When a smallpox epidemic wiped out most <strong>of</strong> her people,<br />
including both her parents as well as her brother, Tekakwitha survived with very bad eyesight and a scarred body.<br />
Though her mother was <strong>Catholic</strong>, Tekakwitha had never been baptized. Now, orphaned at age 4, she was<br />
adopted by her father’s family, who hated the Jesuit missionaries. But after a peace treaty allowed the Jesuits to<br />
preach in the Mohawk villages, Tekakwitha met with them in secret and at the age <strong>of</strong> 20 was baptized and given the<br />
name Kateri, for Catherine.<br />
Kateri cherished time spent in the woods walking and kneeling for hours in prayer. But she was harshly punished for<br />
refusing to work on Sundays and for refusing to marry. Punitive beatings, continual criticism, and mockery were constant. In 1677,<br />
seeing her perseverance and fortitude, one <strong>of</strong> the Jesuits decided to send her away to Kahnawake in Quebec, where there was a large<br />
community <strong>of</strong> Christian aboriginal people. There she was able to express and deepen her faith freely. Kateri lived a life dedicated to<br />
care for the sick and aged, prayer, and severe penitential practices.<br />
When Kateri visited Montreal she witnessed Marguerite Bourgeoys and her companions working and living in a convent.<br />
On her return, Kateri, along with a widowed companion, tried to convince the priest to open a convent in the village. Finally, in 1679<br />
she was allowed to begin a small convent at the mission.<br />
However, in the spring <strong>of</strong> 1680, Kateri’s health deteriorated rapidly. Her pain soon became so great that she was not able to<br />
move. When she died at the age <strong>of</strong> 24, her last words were “Jesus and Mary.” Those at her side said that as they watched all the scars<br />
on her body disappeared and her disfigured face and skin shined.<br />
Kateri was the first <strong>of</strong> the aboriginal people <strong>of</strong> North America to be beatified. She is invoked as patroness <strong>of</strong> the<br />
environment and ecology. In Canada, she is remembered each year on April 17, and in the United <strong>St</strong>ates on July 14.<br />

9 Y <strong>10</strong> DE JULIO, 20<strong>11</strong><br />
UN RETO PARA CAMBIAR<br />
En esta temporada del año los agricultores y jardineros empiezan a ver los frutos de su labor. Ellos<br />
sembraron más semillas de las necesarias, pues no todas van a germinar y producir su fruto. La<br />
parábola del sembrador nos <strong>of</strong>rece una nueva manera de entender. En los tiempos de Jesús se creía que<br />
cumplir con la ley de Moisés garantizaba bendiciones en abundancia. Jesús demostró que cumplir con<br />
las reglas y vivir de una manera justa no es lo mismo. ¿Por qué la semilla de la palabra no produce<br />
fruto en todas las personas? Jesús cita a Isaías, quien describe a un pueblo que no oye y que ha cerrado<br />
sus ojos. Jesús dice que si verdaderamente oyeran y verdaderamente vieran se enfrentarían con el reto<br />
de tener que cambiar. ¿Escuchamos verdaderamente la palabra y permitimos que eche raíces en nuestra vida o la<br />
echamos a un lado y la asfixiamos? Son discípulos los que riegan y alimentan la palabra recibida, y le piden a Jesús que<br />
produzca en ellos fruto abundante. Copyright © 20<strong>10</strong>, World Library Publications. All rights reserved.<br />

CÓDIGO DE VESTIR<br />
DURANTE EL VERANO<br />
EN LA IGLESIA<br />
Aunque los meses de verano son<br />
calientes, la iglesia tiene un código<br />
de vestir apropiado en la iglesia. La<br />
ropa puede ser ligera y confortable.<br />
Shorts o faldas cortas, camisetas sin<br />
mangas, blusas con cintas de<br />
spaghetti o ropa de playa no son<br />
apropiadas para los servicios de la<br />
iglesia. Mientras alguno diga “a Dios<br />
no le importa lo que uno viste<br />
mientras vayamos a misa” nadie<br />
debe ser la ocasión de pecado. Por<br />
favor respete la celebración de la<br />
misa.<br />
NIÑOS INCÓMODOS<br />
O LLORANDO<br />
Recordamos a los papás<br />
con niños que lloran o se<br />
ponen incómodos durante<br />
la misa. No duden en llevarlos a las<br />
salas de entrada o fuera de la iglesia<br />
para que agarren aire fresco o para<br />
que se compongan nuevamente. Por<br />
compasión, recuerde, otros están<br />
orando o escuchando la celebración<br />
de la misa. En la iglesia, las filas de<br />
atrás están reservadas para los<br />
papás con niños pequeños para su<br />
salida fácil. También tenemos la<br />
capilla de Guadalupe para papás con<br />
niños pequeños ya que los servicios<br />
sanitarios están cerca y accesibles.<br />
Gracias por su cooperación.<br />
