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
COUNSEL
THE GIFT I SEEK:
I pray for Counsel, or Right Judgment, which helps me discern as if by instinct what must be done in
every circumstance, whether it concerns my conduct or that of others. May the Holy Spirit direct me
toward the means of working through the challenging issues in my life, my family, and my community
and discovering solutions that heal the wounds of division.
REFLECTION:
•
•
•
•
Do I recognize the Holy Spirit as the supreme “spiritual director” in my life?
In what ways do I resist the guidance of the Spirit toward the surest path of pleasing God?
How can I more effectively enlist the Counsel of the Holy Spirit in both the important and trivial
matters of my life?
What imprudent actions or habits of mine might lead me toward discerning greater spiritual
maturity and judgment?
A PRAYER TO RECEIVE THE HOLY SPIRIT
O King of glory, send us the promised of the Father, the Spirit of Truth.
May the Counselor who proceeds from you enlighten us and infuse
all truth into us, as you have promised.
O Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, grant that by faith, Christ may dwell
in our hearts so that, rooted in charity, we may acknowledge the love of
Christ that surpasses all knowledge. Through the same Christ our Lord.
Amen.

SEGUIRTE SEÑOR, CON TODA MI LIBERTAD
Queridos Parroquianos,
Este Domingo, estamos convocados por un acontecimiento especial, la pascua en el Señor de nuestra
querida CARIDAD, quien llegó a ser uno de los pilares de nuestra comunidad Latina. Desde que sintió la
presencia de Jesús y de la Santísima Virgen María en su vida, fue una de sus más férreas seguidoras. Nos
reunimos en torno a tu presencia espiritual, querida CARIDAD, agradecemos al Señor, por que a través
de ti, nos muestras que es posible, seguir al Señor con el compromiso y la exigencias que se nos narran en
el Evangelio de este Domingo.
El domingo pasado, Jesús nos decía que, para seguirlo, era necesario negarse a sí mismo y cargar la cruz
de cada día. En este 13er domingo Durante el Año, Jesús enseña, sobre las exigencias que tiene su
seguimiento. Nada más fácil que ser un mediocre. Cristo quiere que sus discípulos superen la
mediocridad y adquieran una disponibilidad total para seguirlo.
La Primera Lectura (Reyes 19, 16b. 19-21): Nos habla de la decidida actitud de Eliseo, como símbolo
del seguimiento radical que Jesucristo espera de nosotros. Mediante el Salmo (Sal 15, 1-2a. 7-11),
haciéndose eco de la actitud de Eliseo, el salmista bendice al Señor por la alegría y el regocijo que trae su
llamado. En la Segunda Lectura (Gálatas 5, 1. 13-18): Somos llamados a vivir en libertad. Lo lograremos si
nos dejamos conducir por el Espíritu de Dios. A través del Evangelio (Lucas 9, 51-62), con símbolos muy
duros, Jesús nos enseña la radicalidad del seguimiento que espera de nosotros.
PARA ALGUNAS PERSONAS el compromiso y la libertad parecen absolutamente incompatibles.
Sin embargo, las lecturas de este Domingo, exigen un compromiso total, vivido en libertad total. No se
puede, de hecho, tener una sin la otra. Misa de hoy nos habla de lo que significa ser plenamente discípulo
de Jesús. Esto es mucho más que ser lo que suele entenderse como un "buen católico".
La verdadera libertad, en el seguimiento a Jesucristo
Soy una persona totalmente libre no cuando yo desafío a las autoridades y consumo drogas o cuando
coloco mi equipo de música o la radio a niveles ensordecedores, o cuando conduzco mi coche
agresivamente, sin el respeto a los demás usuarios de la carretera ... Yo soy una persona libre cuando
realmente puedo cuidar a mi vecino, cuando sus necesidades se convierten en mis necesidades, cuando lo
vea a él o a ella como un verdadero hermano o hermana.
Tomad, Señor, y recibid
toda mi libertad,
mi memoria,
mi entendimiento
y toda mi voluntad,
todo mi haber
y mi poseer;
Vos me lo diste;
a Vos, Señor, lo torno;
todo es vuestro,
disponed a toda vuestra voluntad;
dadme vuestro amor y gracia,
que esto me basta. Amén
Sinceramente,
Padre Luis Miguel García Jiménez, S.J.
