June 14, 2015
This is how it is with the kingdom of God;
it is as if a man were to scatter seed on the land
and would sleep and rise night and day
and through it all the seed would sprout and grow,
he knows not how.

Pastor’s Letter
Lifelong Learning
June 13/14
Dear Parish Family,
This weekend at our 9:30 Mass, we keep an annual tradition of blessing our
graduates. Although we focus on our local public and Catholic high school students, it
is also a time for us to honor graduates of every kind. So whether you are taking that
big step from pre-school to kindergarten or stepping up to receive your PhD, we bless
and honor you this weekend.
There is something wonderful about education. As a teacher, I have always enjoyed the
fact that each semester has a beginning and an end. We teachers pass our students on to
the next level and are happy to receive the incoming class. It gives us a chance to
celebrate accomplishment and also the chance to start over with new hope and another
opportunity to learn. Of course, the great truth of education, and the most important
one, is that it is never done. We should never feel or say that our education is
complete. People who know this are called lifelong learners.
My grandfather was a great example of a lifelong learner. He read Popular Science and
National Geographic magazines well into his 90’s. Unlike some of his peers, he had no
contempt for new things; he always wanted to be in the know about inventions, ideas,
and discoveries. What a great example he was to me!
Faith itself is a process of lifelong learning. More than just facts about God and the
Church, faith means the effort to keep understanding what the mystery of God is
about. The new things of this world, its history, its trials and sorrows, can all challenge
us to keep asking and seeking a deeper understanding of our faith.
I hope that our graduates and each one of us never give up our lifelong learning. And
most especially, that we never stop asking and learning about our faith.
Happy graduation and congratulations to all our graduates this
year!
Sincerely yours in Christ,
Rev. Michael A. Vetrano, Pastor

Did you know... about Bernard Nathanson, MD, abortion proponent turned Pro-Life? Dr. Nathanson was a New York City
Obstetrician-Gynecologist who, in the 1960's, ran the largest freestanding abortion clinic in the world, and was a
founding member of the National Abortion Rights Action League, or NARAL. He presided over more than 60,000
abortions, doing thousands himself. In the late 1970's, in part because of the availability of improved ultrasound imaging,
he began to question the morality of his actions, and completely changed his mind, becoming an outspoken opponent of
abortion. He wrote extensively on the subject, including a book titled "The Hand of God: A Journey from Death to Life". In
1996, he converted from Judaism, and became Catholic, being Baptized by John Cardinal O'Connor. He always
emphasized that he came to Catholicism after he became convinced that abortion was wrong -- not because the Church
said so; he was attracted in great part because one could find forgiveness in the Catholic church. Dr. Nathanson died at
the age of 84, and was buried from St. Patrick's Cathedral, in New York City.
Reflections On the Gospel from Pax Christi
June 14, 2015
Sunday’s readings may remind us of the adage, “Don’t judge a book by its cover.” Who would expect a tiny mustard seed to grow into “the largest of plants”? Or a tender shoot to become “a majestic cedar”? St. Paul puts it a bit differently: “We walk by faith and not by sight,” but the point is
similar. God “bring[s] low the high tree” and “lift[s] high the lowly tree.” Nothing is what it seems;
it’s even better. Every one of us, no matter how insignificant in a world of celebrity, has the potential to be great. Be sure to tap that potential and nurture it in others. We are all equal in the eyes of
God, and we all have equal capacity to serve one another according to the gifts God has given us.
Rejoice and be glad!

Seguro de Salud para Niños - La representante de
Fidelis Care, Konny Tapias, estará en el Apostolado
Hispano los miércoles de las 10 AM hasta la 1:00 PM,
para ayudar con seguro de salud para los niños.
El Reino de Dios - Leyendo las Escrituras queda por
demás claro que la propuesta del Evangelio no es sólo
la de una relación personal con Dios. Nuestra
respuesta de amor tampoco debería entenderse como
una mera suma de pequeños gestos personales
dirigidos a algunos individuos necesitados, lo cual
podría constituir una “caridad a la carta”, una serie de
acciones tendentes sólo a tranquilizar la propia
conciencia. La propuesta es el Reino de Dios (cf. Lc
4,43); se trata de amar a Dios que reina en el mundo.
En la medida en que Él logre reinar entre nosotros, la
vida social será ámbito de fraternidad, de justicia, de
paz, de dignidad para todos. Entonces, tanto el
anuncio como la experiencia cristiana tienden a
provocar consecuencias sociales. Buscamos su Reino:
“Buscad ante todo el Reino de Dios y su justicia, y
todo lo demás vendrá por añadidura” (Mt 6,33). El
proyecto de Jesús es instaurar el Reino de su Padre; Él
pide a sus discípulos: “¡Proclamad que está llegando el
Reino de los cielos!” (Mt 10,7). Tomado de Evangelii
Gaudium, el 24 de noviembre del año 2013, §180
