Pastor’s Corner

Next Sunday, we welcome Fr. Miguel Alvizures, originally from Guatemala and now serving as a priest in the Diocese of Lexington, Kentucky. This diocese while in the United States is considered a missionary diocese. Please remember to use your Mission Co-Op envelope as your generous contribution assists our brothers and sisters in a different part of our country. Thank you for your generosity to the missions.

Next Sunday, we will need to remove everything from the Church so that it can be painted. We need to remove items from the balcony, the back of Church, the books in the pews and all of the movable items in the sanctuary. Also, we will need some hands to strip out the carpets of the Church. Many hands can make the work go by quickly. We will begin this project at 1:30 following mass. Thank you in advance for your assistance with this work.

St. Paul offers us encouragement with our daily struggle against sin and temptation. St. Paul describes his “thorn in the flesh” and how he asked God to remove it. God did not but rather responded with powerful words, “My grace is sufficient for you, for power is made perfect in weakness.” WOW!!

St. Paul learns that despite his struggle, he learns to rely on the power of God to all things. He identifies and knows his struggle and everyday he surrenders it into the hands of Jesus Christ and relies on Jesus to help him through his struggle. Scholars speculate what was St. Paul’s “thorn in the flesh.” I like the suggestion that it was kept purposefully vague so that anyone of us could find hope in his words. Everyone struggles with different things. Things that can feel overwhelming in our lives. Things we would like to remove in our lives. Whatever our own particular, “thorn in the flesh” may be, we can have confidence in Jesus and the power of his grace. “My grace is sufficient for you.”

Have a great week

Fr. Keith

Notas del Pastor El próximo domingo, daremos la

bienvenida al Padre. Miguel Alvizures, originario de Guatemala y ahora sirviendo como sacerdote en la Diócesis de Lexington, Kentucky. Esta diócesis en los Estados Unidos se considera una diócesis misionera. Recuerde su sobre para las Misiones ya que su generosa contribución ayuda a nuestros hermanos y hermanas en otra parte de nuestro país. Gracias por su generosidad a las misiones. El próximo domingo, vamos a mover todo de la Iglesia para que pueda ser pintada. Necesitamos quitar artículos del balcón, la parte posterior de la iglesia, los libros en los bancos y todos los artículos móviles en el santuario. Además, necesitaremos algunas manos para quitar las alfombras de la Iglesia. Muchas manos pueden hacer que el trabajo pase rápidamente. El trabajo empezará a la 1:30 de la tarde. Gracias de antemano por su ayuda con este trabajo. San Pablo nos ofrece aliento con nuestra lucha diaria contra el pecado y la tentación. San Pablo describe su "aguijón en la carne" y cómo le pidió a Dios que lo quitara. Dios no lo hizo, sino que respondió con palabras poderosas: "Mi gracia es suficiente para ti, porque el poder se perfecciona en la debilidad". ¡WOW! San Pablo aprende que, a pesar de su lucha, aprende a confiar en el poder de Dios para todas las cosas. Él identifica y conoce su lucha y todos los días la entrega a las manos de Jesucristo y confía en Jesús para ayudarlo en su lucha. Los académicos especulan sobre cuál fue el "aguijón en la carne" de San Pablo. Me gusta la sugerencia de que se mantuvo deliberadamente vago para que cualquiera de nosotros pudiera encontrar esperanza en sus palabras. Todos luchan con cosas diferentes. Cosas que pueden ser abrumadoras en nuestras vidas. Cosas que nos gustaría eliminar en nuestras vidas. Cualquiera que sea nuestro particular, "aguijón en la carne", podemos tener confianza en Jesús y en el poder de su gracia. "Mi gracia es suficiente para ti". Que tengas una buena semana P. Keith

610-253-7188 _____________________________________________________ Lecturas: Ezequiel 2:2–5; Salmo 123; 2 Corintios 12:7–10; Marcos 6:1–6 Tanto a Jesús como a Ezequiel se les hace difícil predicar hoy. A Jesús lo descartan porque la gente no podía aceptar que este vecino aparentemente ordinario pudiera enseñarles algo acerca de Dios. Ezequiel tuvo que predicarle a la gente que se habían rebelado contra Dios y eran “testarudos y obstinados”. Tal vez la perspicacia de san Pablo nos sea de gran ayuda aquí: el poder de Cristo de veras se manifiesta cuando la gracia de Dios me permite superar mis propias debilidades. Que tengamos la humildad de permitir que la gracia de Dios nos fortalezca.

Every child is taught the Our Father, the Hail Mary and the Glory Be when they are young. But the

Church has a treasury of prayers from her tradition. Each month we would like to highlight a specific prayer and invite you to pray it each day or even to memorize it where it will be secure within

your memory.

Prayer For the month of July

Suscipe by St. Ignatius Loyola

Take, Lord, and receive all my liberty, my memory, my understanding,

and my entire will, All I have and call my own. You have given all to me. To you, Lord, I return it.

Everything is yours; do with it what you will. Give me only your love and your grace,

that is enough for me. Amen

A cada niño se le enseña el Padrenuestro, el Avemaría y la Gloria cuando son pequeños. Pero la Iglesia tiene

un tesoro de oraciones de su tradición. Cada mes quisiéramos resaltar una oración específica e invitarlo a orarla todos los días o incluso a memorizarla en un

lugar seguro dentro de su memoria.

Oración por el mes de julio

Suscipe de San Ignacio de Loyola

Toma, Señor, y recibe toda mi libertad; Mi memoria, mi entendimiento

y toda mi voluntad; Todo mi haber y mi poseer.

Tú me lo diste y a ti lo regreso; Todo es tuyo; Todo es tuyo dispón tú de ello

Según Tu voluntad. Dame Tu amor y Gracia

Que éstas me bastan. Amen

Message from Bishop Schlert: My dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, As you may have heard, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court has delayed the release of the Grand Jury Report on clergy sexual abuse in six Pennsylvania dioceses, including the Diocese of Allentown. It is unknown how long the Court’s order will remain in place. I want you to know that the Diocese of Allentown has always cooperated with the Office of the Attorney General and the Grand Jury process. Neither I, nor the Diocese, nor any diocesan official has attempted to block or delay release of the Report. I will be addressing the topic of clergy abuse in more detail after the Grand Jury Report is released. Please join me in praying for the victims and survivors, and for all those hurt by child abuse, wherever it occurs in society. With an assurance of my prayers for you and your families, I am

Sincerely yours in Christ, Bishop Alfred A. Schlert
