MAKING ORDINARY TIME EXTRAORDINARY
Dear Parishioners,
Summer is a blessed season—a period of relaxation and slowing down, and an especially fruitful time to
enrich prayer life. The liturgical calendar also transitions from Pentecost into Ordinary time. At Pentecost
we are showered with the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit—Wisdom, Understanding, Counsel (right
judgment), Knowledge, Fortitude (courage), Piety (reverence), and Fear of the Lord (wonder and
awe). As you journey through summer, the Spiritual Life Commission would like to offer you a simple
prayer “exercise” that we hope might make this Ordinary time extraordinary.
Inspired by the Spirit’s grace, we invite you to consider how these seven wonderful gifts are at work in
your life by reflecting on a series of Ignatian Examen-style questions, based on the individual gifts. We
will be providing the exercises in the Bulletin every other week as well as on the parish website.
To deepen the experience, consider connecting with a spiritual “companion” or forming a small group
with whom to share the movements of the Spirit as summer progresses. Imagine yourselves as disciples
in Luke’s Emmaus gospel (Luke 24:13-35), journeying together, reflecting on the mystery of the
Resurrection and how the various gifts of Christ’s Spirit solidify our oneness in Him.
Without a doubt, you are bound to meet Jesus on the way!
Blessings,
The Spiritual Life Commission
Knowledge
The gift I seek:
I pray for Knowledge, which enables me to see the realities of this world—particularly the painful
things—through God’s eyes. May the Spirit lead me to seek God in all that is good, true, and beautiful,
and may I be favored with the Light that dispels the darkness of doubt and ignorance.
Reflection:
•
In what ways is the gift of Knowledge alive in me, helping to discern God’s teaching and the
ability to distinguish good from evil?
•
Do I see all that I am and have, and all that happens to me and others, in the Light of the Holy
Spirit?
•
How have I been challenged to know God’s true will for me?
•
How can I use my Spirit-given knowledge to improve the lives of others in my family, my
community, my parish, the world?
Prayer
I thank you, Holy Spirit, for your Word. Make it a living reality in my life—a constant guide at my side, a
lamp for my feet and a light for my path. Let it mold my mind and shape my heart into the image of
Christ, my Lord and in conformity to your holy will. Amen.

La Página Hispana
Del Escritorio del Padre Bob
Queridos parroquianos,
Acabo de regresar de mis días de vacaciones. Por supuesto fue un placer de
tener este tiempo libre de las tareas cotidianas. La única cosa me molestó
fue que no pude asistir a la Misa en memoria de Caridad Sanchez. Me
enteré que todo pasó bien y era un gran tributo a Caridad. Sé que le me
extrañará.
Quisiera tomar esta oportunidad de agradecer al Padre Luís Miguel por
todo lo que ha hecho durante su estadía. Se puede dedicar totalmente a
nuestra comunidad mientras está aquí y sé que muchas personas se han
aprovechado de su presencia y sus dones pastorales. Ojalá que hubiera
podido quedarse con nosotros todo el verano. Por desgracias tiene
compromisos en Colombia y su padre Provincial no le daría permiso para
que pudiera pasar más tiempo con nosotros. Por lo tanto estuvo aquí seis
semanas y pudimos compartir nuestra vida comunitaria con él.
También quería decirles que tendremos la gran alegría de tener a Jayme
Stayer como celebrante de la Santa Misa el 21 de julio. Como saben, Jayme
funcionó este año pasado como Diácono en la comunidad y ha compartido
sus dones musicales extraordinarios los tres años pasados. Me da gran
alegría de tenerlo con nosotros aunque sea una vez antes de que empiece
su trabajo en John Carroll University en Cleveland. Les pido que hicieran
todo esfuerzo a estar presente y participar en la liturgia ese domingo.
Espero que estén disfrutando de los dones del verano.
Sinceramente,
Padre Bob
