“The Church is a Field Hospital at the
scene of a Battle.”
--His Holiness, Pope Francis
A PLACE FOR EVERYONE
“The Church is called to be the house of the Father, with
doors always wide open. One concrete sign of such
openness is that okur church doors should always be
open, so that if someone, moved by the Spirit, come
there looking for God, he or she will not find a closed
door. There are other doors that should not be closed
either. Everyone can share in some way in the life of
the Church: everyone can be part of the community, nor
should the doors of the sacraments be closed for simply
any reason. This is especially true of the sacrament
which is itself “the door”: Baptism. The Eucharist,
although it is the fullness of sacramental life, is not a
prize for the perfect but a powerful medicine and
nourishment for the weak. The convictions have
pastoral consequences that we are called to consider
with prudence and boldness. Frequently, we act as
arbiters of grace rather than its facilitators. But the
Church is not a tollhouse; it is the house of the Father,
where there is a place for everyone, with all their
problems.” --His Holiness, Pope Frances, The Joy of the
Gospel (Evangelii Gaudium)

NEXT SUNDAY-PARTY FOR FATHERS’ DAY
Next Sunday, June 21, we will have a party for
our gentlemen, who in the tradition of
St. Joseph, care for us all. The party will be
approximately 10:45am (after the 9:30 Mass)
in the narthex (gathering area) of St. Paul. We
will provide the cake, and we’re asking anyone
who would like to bring finger-foods
(sandwiches, fruit, snackies) or large bottles of
soda. Join us for a reception to honor our
fathers—who, like St. Joseph—too often are
overlooked.

ORACIÓN AL SAGRADO CORAZÓN
DE JESÚS
¡Oh Corazón amantísimo de Jesús!, coronado por la
Santa Cruz, árbol frondoso que se nutre con tu Sangre
Preciosísima!; en unión de todos los Santos y almas
fervorosas que en todos los tiempos y lugares te han
amado, te adoro, te amo con todo mi corazón; y para
darte una prueba más patente de mi afecto, renuevo y te
ofrezco las promesas que hice en el santo Bautismo,
prefiriendo tu gracia y tu amor a todas las riquezas de
la tierra. Dame, en cambio, Señor, los verdaderos
tesoros y riquezas celestiales, que son las virtudes de tu
divino Corazón que, como flores olorosas brotan al pie
de tu Cruz, rociadas y regadas con tu preciosa Sangre.
Amén.
