SUNDAY, JUNE 19, 2016 TWELFTH SUNDAY IN ORDINAY TIME
Dear Parishioners,
Happy Fathers’ Day! In comparison with Mothers’ Day, Fathers’
Day gets short shrift. It’s easy to explain on one level. School is done.
Children have time in May to prepare Mother’s Day artwork or cards, but
Father’s Day get forgotten because the year is come to a swift end. All
Saints, for example, closes on June 21st.
But there are other reasons too, deeper reasons. Fatherhood is in a
state of confusion, which, of course, is a consequence of the confusion
about sexuality and gender that pervades postmodern Western society.
We arrive with these issues at the heart of many of the matters, which
deeply divide our country. What once seemed clear, even if it was not
always fair, has, in the course of my lifetime, been turned upside down
This inversion leaves – I am willing to argue – everyone disoriented.
It leads to constant anxiety about how men and women should get one
with each other, about how children and adults should get one with each
other, and on how we treat one another. It’s a kind of background radiation that isn’t healthy for anyone.
Sadly, there is no easy way out of this situation. It will take a lot of
time for us to figure out how to manage our day-to-day affairs as well as
on broader social issues. But, we are not without the possibility to do
something in our own little part of the world.
We begin with ourselves – as an embodied person – male or female –
recognizing the gift that biology offers us as well as the deeper spiritual gifts
that God gives to us as men and women. Yes, I realize that some people
today do not believe this anymore. They believe that there are not only
male and female but rather a seemingly limitless possibility to define oneself
as one wishes without having to recognize the constraints of biology.
At any given moment in our lives, we are confronted with limitations
starting with time and space. Biology also imposes limitations on what
we can do and cannot do. When we seek to recognize these limitation,
understand and embrace them, we might be able to transcend some of
them, specifically those limits we create in our head. I think of athletes,
for example, who recognize what their bodies can do, and by learning and
by training, through great discipline and sacrifice, they discover they can
do more than they had initially thought. But even then, there are still
limits on the body, even after further manipulation and medicine.
Is this limitation bad? Some people clearly think so. But what if we
accept the limitations of this life in order to obtain a life without limitation? I refer to Divine Life – the Abundant Life that God wishes to share
with us. We are not yet capable of this because our hearts are too small;
we are too weighed down by selfishness; and we pursue happiness in the
wrong places. What if the limitations we experience – including that of
being male or female – is part of our salvation and sanctification and part
of the death that must come before our resurrection?
If we look at our embodied life as a positive limit on the ego – on the
will to power (libido dominandi) – that characterizes our society in which
all things and persons can be exploited for the pleasure of the self – we
will take an enormous step forward in our spiritual journey, with dramatically positive consequences for human race and all of creation.
Men and women give gifts to each other in marriage – becoming
husbands and wives, and through their intimate exchange of love and life,
becoming fathers and mothers. As Christians, we propose this message
to bring clarity to the confusion of our day.
Happy Father’s Day!
God bless you,
Father Elias
Cari parrocchiani,
Buona festa del Padre! In confronto alla festa delle Madri, la festa
del padre ottiene poca attenzione. È facile da spiegare su un unico livello:
la scuola è finita. I bambini hanno il tempo a maggio per preparare opere
d'arte o le carte per la mamma, ma la festa del padri è dimenticata,
perché l'anno scolastico è finito. All Saints, per esempio, finisce il 21
giugno.
Ma ci sono anche altre motivi, ragioni più profonde. La paternità è in
uno stato di confusione, che, naturalmente, è un’altra causa alla
confusione sulla sessualità e sul genere che pervade la società
occidentale postmoderna. Con questi temi noi arriviamo al centro di
molte delle questioni che dividono profondamente il nostro Paese.
Quello che una volta sembrava chiaro, anche se non era sempre giusta
nel corso della mia vita, è stata capovolta.
Questa inversione lascia - ed io sono disposto a discutere - tutti
disorientati. Essa conduce ad una costante ansia su come gli uomini e le
donne dovrebbero avere uno con l'altro, su come i bambini e gli adulti
dovrebbero avere uno con l'altro, e il modo in cui trattiamo l'un l'altro. Si
tratta di un tipo di radiazione di fondo che non è saluta per chiunque
Purtroppo, non esiste alcun modo facile per uscire da questa situazione.
Ci vorrà un sacco di tempo per noi per capire su come gestire i nostri
affari quotidiani, così come le questioni sociali più ampie. Ma non siamo
senza la possibilità di fare qualcosa nella nostra piccola parte del mondo.
Cominciamo con noi stessi – come una persona incarnata - maschio
o femmina - riconoscendo il dono che la biologia ci offre, così come i
più profondi doni spirituali che Dio dà a noi come uomini e donne. Sì,
mi rendo conto che molte persone oggi non lo locredono ancora. Essi
credono che ci sono solo il maschio e la femmina, ma piuttosto una
possibilità apparentemente illimitata di definire se stessi come si
desidera, senza dover riconoscere le costrizioni della biologia.
In ogni momento della nostra vita, ci troviamo di fronte a limitazioni
che iniziano con il tempo e lo spazio. Biologia impone anche dei limiti
su quello che si può fare e non si può fare. Quando cerchiamo di
riconoscere questi limiti, di capire e di accoglierle, potremmo superare
alcuni di loro, in particolare quei limiti che creiamo nella nostra testa.
Penso che degli atleti, per esempio, che riconoscono quello che i loro
corpi possono fare, e con l'apprendimento e di formazione, attraverso la
grande disciplina e sacrificio, scoprono che possono fare più di quello
che avevano inizialmente pensato. Ma anche allora, ci sono ancora dei
limiti sul corpo, anche dopo più manipolazione e la medicina.
È questa limitazione è male? Alcune persone pensano chiaramente
così. Ma cosa succede se abbiamo accettato i limiti di questa vita alla
fine di accogliere una vita senza limitazioni? Mi riferisco alla vita divina
- la vita abbondante che Dio vuole condividere con noi. Non siamo
neppure capace di questo perché i nostri cuori sono troppo piccoli; noi
siamo troppo appesantiti da egoismo; e cerchiamo la felicità nei posti
sbagliati. Che cosa succede se le limitazioni che sperimentiamo - tra cui
quella di essere maschio o femmina – che è parte della nostra salvezza
della nostra santificazione e parte della morte che deve venire prima
della nostra risurrezione?
Se guardiamo la nostra vita incarnata come un limite positivo
sull'ego - sulla volontà di potenza (libido dominandi) che caratterizza la
nostra società in cui tutte le cose e le persone possono essere sfruttate per
il piacere del sé - faremo un enorme passo avanti nel nostro cammino
spirituale con conseguenze drammaticamente positive per il genere
umano e tutta la creazione .

Saturday: 3:00pm - 3:45pm
Let us pray for the intentions of our Holy Father
during the month of June.....
Universal Intention: That the aged, marginalized, ant
those who have no one may fine-even within the huge cities
of the world - opportunities for encounter and solidarity.
For Evangelization Intention: That seminarians and
men and women entering religious life may have mentors
who live the joy of the Gospel and prepare them wisely
for their mission.
Bulletin Reflection
Who do you say that I am?” Jesus asks Peter in today’s Gospel.
Does my use of the gifts and talents entrusted to me accurately
reflect my answer to that same question? How willing am I do
to deny myself, take up my cross and follow in His steps?
Living Stewardship
We are grateful this week for all stewards in our parish who
practice the spiritual work of mercy to “instruct the ignorant”
by handing on the faith to kids and grandkids by their own example, or offering their gifts to teach in RCIA, confirmation,
youth group or religious education.
Gli uomini e le donne fanno regali a vicenda nel matrimonio – diventano
mariti e mogli, e tra loro lo scambio intimo di amore e di vita, diventano padri e
madri. Come cristiani, vi proponiamo questo messaggio per portare chiarezza
alla confusione dei nostri giorni.
Buona Festa del Padre!
Dio vi benedica,
Padre Elias
