It will be a Holy Year of Mercy. We want to live in the light of the word of the Lord: “Be merciful, even as your Father is merciful” (cf. Lk 6:36). And this especially applies to confessors! So much mercy! This Holy Year will commence on the next Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception and will conclude on Sunday, 20 November 2016, the Solemnity of Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe and living face of the Father's mercy.' Pope Francis The proclamation, called a “bull of indiction,” is titled “Misericordiae Vultus” (“The Face of Mercy”) and explains how in Jesus Christ, in his words and actions, the mercy of God has been revealed. Pope Francis states that he wants the year to be a time for Catholics to contemplate just how merciful God has been to them and to understand better how they are called to be merciful to others in turn. MERCY IS “THE BEATING HEART OF THE GOSPEL.” “How much I desire that the year to come will be steeped in mercy, so that we can go out to every man and woman, bringing the goodness and tenderness of God.” Pope Francis “May the balm of mercy reach everyone, both believers and those far away, as a sign that the kingdom of God is already present in our midst.” Pope Francis During the summer weeks, we will be featuring information about the upcoming Jubilee of Mercy, “Misericordiae Vultus” (“The Face of Mercy”) and opportunities for you to become more involved and immersed in this year.

PRAYER SUNDAY READINGS FOURTEENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME First Reading: Ezekiel 2:2-5 Ezekiel is moved to respond to the call of God and to accentuate his teaching with a direct reference to the Word of God. Second Reading: II Corinthians 12:7-10 Paul had questioned the value of his suffering, and God replied, “My grace is enough for you, for strength is made perfect in weakness.” Paul then realized that although he was weak against persecution, he was strong in faith. Gospel: Mark 6:1-6a Jesus could do little for those in his own part of the country, for their lack of faith in him was so great. Therefore, he spent much of his time teaching in neighboring villages instead.

CARMEL Thursday, July 16 at the 8:30 a.m. Mass, we will celebrate the Feast of Our Lady of Mount Carmel, the Patronal Feast of the Carmelite Order of friars and sisters. Its spirituality finds its inspiration in the prophet Elijah, who saw from Carmel a cloud in the distance that would bring rain after a drought. That 'rain bearing cloud' became an image of the 'savior bearing Mary. Intercessionary prayers will be offered at the conclusion of the Mass, scapulars will be blessed and distributed and a light reception will follow. All are invited. If anyone wishes to bake for the reception, please call Joan Graziano at 973-377-4151. A Family Perspective Today's Gospel is so familiar, it hurts! The home town folks coundn't accept the presence of God in Jesus. After all, they had watched him grow up. We can easily make the same mistake if we don't see God present in the ordinary routines of our family. "The Lord be with you" is a statement of fact. Believe it. Live It.

Dios multiplique su generosidad. respondido: “Te basta mi gracia, porque mi poder se manifiesta en la debilidad”. Primera Lectura: Ez 2, 2-5 En aquellos días, el espíritu entró en mí, hizo que me pusiera en pie y oí una voz que me decía: “Hijo de hombre, yo te envío a los israelitas, a un pueblo rebelde, que se ha sublevado contra mí. Ellos y sus padres me han traicionado hasta el día de hoy. También sus hijos son testarudos y obstinados. A ellos te envío para que les comuniques mis palabras. Y ellos, te escuchen o no, porque son una raza rebelde, sabrán que hay un profeta en medio de ellos”. Segunda Lectura: 1Cor. 12, 7b-10 Hermanos: Para que yo no me llene de soberbia por la sublimidad de las revelaciones que he tenido, llevo una espina clavada en mi carne, un enviado de Satanás, que me abofetea para humillarme. Tres veces le he pedido al Señor que me libre de esto, pero él me ha En aquel tiempo, Jesús fue a su tierra en compañía de sus discípulos. Cuando llegó el sábado, se puso a enseñar en la sinagoga, y la multitud que lo escuchaba se preguntaba con asombro: “¿Dónde aprendió este hombre tantas cosas? ¿De dónde le viene esa sabiduría y ese poder para hacer milagros? ¿Qué no es éste el carpintero, el hijo de María, el hermano de Santiago, José, Judas y Simón? ¿No viven aquí, entre nosotros, sus hermanas?” Y estaban desconcertados. Pero Jesús les dijo: “Todos honran a un profeta, menos los de su tierra, sus parientes y los de su casa”. Y no pudo hacer allí ningún milagro, sólo curó a algunos enfermos imponiéndoles las manos. Y estaba extrañado de la incredulidad de aquella gente. Luego se fue a enseñar en los pueblos vecinos.
