FROM THE DESKOF OUR PASTORDear Parishioners,This summer, we commemorate the 20th anniversary of that extraordinary eventin Denver which was World Youth Day 1993. At that time, Pope John Paul II and amillion young people from around the country and around the world, came to Denverto celebrate our faith. It is often common that there is a special liveliness to the Catholicfaith in Denver, and I myself experienced this first hand when I came here four yearsago. The church in Denver is alive, energetic, and full of proposals. I often asked, what was the origin ofthis life? I asked Archbishop Aquila and many other priests and lay people, and everyone pointed theirfinger to World Youth Day 1993 as the beginning. In fact, I am told that many dioceses who are havingthe Pope visit, request to study what Denver did.Our archbishop, desiring to mark this anniversary with a gesture of faith, has invited the whole dioceseto join him for an open-air Mass on August 15, the Feast of the Assumption at the John Paull II PastoralCenter of the Archdiocese of Denver. August 15, the Feast of the Assumption, is of course a holy dayof obligation, and the bishop proposes to each parish to cancel our evening Mass and that we attend thisMass with him. We at Nativity are going to accept this invitation, so...On August 14, there will be a 7:00pm Mass for all those working parishioners who need an evening Mass.On the 15, there will be Masses at 6:30am, 8:00am, and noon, and then, the Mass with the archbishop inDenver. The Archdiocese of Denver is running an extended program starting at 4:00pm, with prayers, aconcert, and witnesses about the event 20 years ago. The bishop's Mass, however, will be at 6:30pm, and itis this we will attend together. Parishioners are absolutely free to attend the whole program, making theirway to the venue at 1300 S. Steele St. Denver, CO 80210 by 4:00pm.Our proposal to everyone, is that we meet at Nativity at 4:45pm. The Holy Family bus will be availableto us with 56 seats. We will fill the bus and car pool, and we'll set out for the John Paul II Center together.Lynne, at my office, will be running a sign-up list for the spots on the bus, and I invite all those who havespaces in their cars to come by and join in the car pool. At the event, Nativity will sit together under ourNativity banner. Of course, anyone who desires to reach the center on their own is welcome to do so, butplease join us under this banner.May God bless you in Christ,Fr. Michael

HOLY FATHER’SGENERAL AUDIENCEDear Brothers and Sisters, Good morning!This Sunday we continue reading the 10 chaptersof the Evangelist Luke. The passage today is that onMartha and Mary. Who are these two women? Marthaand Mary, sisters of Lazarus, are the relatives andfaithful disciples of the Lord, who lived in Bethany.St Luke describes them in this way: Mary, at the feetof Jesus, “listened to his teaching,” while Martha wasburdened with much serving (cf. Lk 10:39-40). Bothwelcome the Lord on his brief visit, but they do sodifferently. Mary sets herself at the feet of Jesus tolisten but Martha lets herself become absorbed inpreparing everything, and so much so that she says toJesus: “Lord, do you not care that my sister has left meto serve alone? Tell her then to help me” (v. 40). AndJesus answers scolding her sweetly: “Martha, Martha,you are anxious and worried about many things. Thereis need of only one thing” (v. 41).What does Jesus mean? What is this one thing that weneed? First of all, it is important to understand that thisis not about two contradictory attitudes: listening to theword of the Lord, contemplation, and practical serviceto our neighbour. These are not two attitudes opposedto one another, but, on the contrary, they are twoessential aspects in our Christian life; aspects that cannever be separated, but are lived out in profound unityand harmony. Why then was Martha scolded, even ifkindly, by Jesus? Because she considered only what shewas doing to be essential; she was too absorbed andworried by the things “to do.” For a Christian, worksof service and charity are never detached from theprinciple of all our action: that is, listening to the Wordof the Lord, to be — like Mary — at the feet of Jesus,with the attitude of a disciple. And that is why Marthawas scolded.POPE FRANCISST. PETER'S SQUARESUNDAY, JULY 21, 2013ANGELUSIn our Christian life too, dear brothers and sisters, mayprayer and action always be deeply united. A prayerthat does not lead you to practical action for yourbrother — the poor, the sick, those in need of help,a brother in difficulty — is a sterile and incompleteprayer. But, in the same way, when ecclesial serviceis attentive only to doing, things gain in importance,functions, structures, and we forget the centrality ofChrist. When time is not set aside for dialogue withhim in prayer, we risk serving ourselves and not Godpresent in our needy brother and sister. St. Benedictsums up the kind of life indicated for his monks intwo words: ora et labora, pray and work. It is fromcontemplation, from a strong friendship with the Lordthat the capacity is born in us to live and to bring thelove of God, his mercy, his tenderness, to others. Andalso our work with brothers in need, our charitableworks of mercy, lead us to the Lord, because it is in theneedy brother and sister that we see the Lord Himself.Let us ask the Virgin Mary, the Mother of listening andof service, to teach us to meditate in our hearts on theWord of her Son, to pray faithfully, to be ever moreattentive in practical ways to the needs of our brothersand sisters.
