Father Ritchie Ortiz-Juarez signed up to be an altar server on the day he made his first Communion. He had his first inkling that he might be called to the priesthood on a day he was scheduled to serve Mass. “The priest that was assigned to preside at the Mass did not show up,” Ortiz-Juarez said. “The deacon celebrated the Liturgy of the

Word and after I received Communion, I knelt to pray.

Something inside my heart was moved, and a

questioned popped in my head: “What are you going to do about this?” I thought, ‘I cannot be a priest I am too young.”

Now, he said, his favorite Bible verse is Jeremiah 1:6- 7: “I do not know how to speak, I am too young.”

Ortiz-Juarez graduated from St. Joseph College Seminary and then took two years to teach special education and work at Starbucks before entering the University of St. Mary of the Lake Mundelein

Seminary. He still enjoys meeting people over coffee, he said, and evangelizing through the Alpha program.

Welcome to Santa Maria del Popolo Fr. Ritchie.

El padre Ritchie Ortiz-Juárez se registró para ser monaguillo el día que hizo su primera comunión. Tuvo el primer indicio de que podría ser llamado al sacerdocio un día en el que estaba programado para servir la Misa. “El sacerdote que fue asignado para presidir la Misa no se presentó”, dijo Ortiz- Juárez. “El diácono celebró la Liturgia de la Palabra y después de recibir la Comunión, me arrodillé para orar. Algo dentro de mi corazón se movió, y una pregunta apareció en mi cabeza: "¿Qué vas a hacer al respecto?" Pensé: "No puedo ser sacerdote, soy demasiado joven".

Ahora, dijo, su versículo bíblico favorito es Jeremías 1: 6-7: "¡Como podría hablar yo, que soy una

muchacho!". Ortiz-Juárez se graduó del Seminario St.

Joseph y luego tomó dos años para dar clases de educación especial y trabajar en Starbucks antes de ingresar al Seminario de la Universidad de St. Mary of the Lake Mundelein. Aun disfruta conocer gente y tomar café, dijo, y evangelizar a través del programa Alpha. Bienvenido a Santa Maria del Popolo P.

Ritchie.

To Open Hearts to God

MEDITACIÓN DEL EVANGELIO 4 de julio de 2021

14º Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario

¿No es éste el carpintero? Le ha pasado por casualidad que a usted le diga la gente y especialmente familiares amigos esta misma frase.

Por ejemplo, se escucha, es la hija de la del salón de belleza, es el hijo del taquero de la esquina. Y así

sucesivamente, parece que es muy difícil reconocer a la persona por su nombre y por sus virtudes. ¡Si le paso a Jesús en su tiempo nos sucede también en el nuestro! “Si hay un lugar donde un profeta es despreciado, es en su tierra, entre sus parientes y en su propia familia” (Marcos 6:4).

GOSPEL MEDITATION July 4, 2021

14th Sunday in Ordinary Time It’s all so ordinary that we can easily miss it. The seagulls hunting and diving for mollusks at the beach offer a display of determination and precision as they gather their food for the day.

It’s simply what these creatures do.

Yet, there’s a magical artfulness and skill to their work that speaks volumes about the One who breathed life into their being. This is pretty much the way it is with God’s presence. God comes in common ways through common things and ordinary people. Sadly, we are so engulfed in our little worlds of order and ideas to notice the beauty and wonder of it all. Many have

numbed themselves to the Divine spark at the essence of all life because that’s just the way it is. What’s so special about it? A sunset is a sunset and a seagull is a seagull. That’s precisely what they thought about Jesus too.

After all, isn’t he just the carpenter’s son? What merit can his words possibly have?

Y seguimos de incrédulos en lo que a Dios se refiere, hay gente que todavía vive como si Dios no existiera. Lo vivimos en esta terrible pandemia, donde tanto dolor ha habido, muchas personas han muerto, y aun así no creemos. Para ver a Dios entre nosotros, definitivamente

necesitamos de creer y vivir la gracia de tener a Jesucristo como centro de nuestra vida. El Papa Francisco lo explica mejor con la siguiente pregunta: “¿Por qué los compatriotas de Jesús pasan de la maravilla a la incredulidad? Hacen una

comparación entre el origen humilde de Jesús y sus capacidades actuales:

es carpintero, no ha estudiado, sin embargo, predica mejor que los escribas y hace milagros. Y en vez de abrirse a la realidad, se escandalizan:

¡Dios es demasiado grande para rebajarse a hablar a través de un

hombre tan simple! Es el escándalo de la encarnación” (7/8/2018). Para reconocemos a Cristo en las personas que nos rodean o a las que tratamos de cerca. Y es ahí, donde Dios está manifiesto. ¿Cree usted esto?

©LPi If we’re looking for God to come in an

event that is so dramatic and intense that it knocks our socks off, then think again. When pondering God’s

relationship with His people and God’s action in our lives, we have to go back to the stable and the recurring, creative, unending power of God’s presence. It was a quiet, run of the mill kind of night. There was nothing spectacular or extraordinary. To the naked eye, a woman gave birth to a child and there wasn’t anything extraordinary to see. We have a hard time understanding God’s ordinary- ness. Jesus grew up in an ordinary town, had neighbors and did normal human things. Perhaps that’s why we don’t always like the Gospel. It doesn’t dazzle us with extraordinary things but simply challenges us to take a different look at our ordinary stuff. That makes us uncomfortable. We prefer things as they are. Our lack of faith can even cause us to take offense at what Jesus says and does, dismissing it as folly.

God’s life-giving presence continues to sustain that seagull in flight and keep all things in being regardless of

whether we have the faith to see and understand this. Our personal agendas, preconceived ideas, misconceptions, and expectations can often cause us to be hardened and blinded to what God is doing or desiring to do. While God continues to do what he has done for all eternity, faith is needed for God’s presence to bear fruit. The blinders we wear and the expectations we bring to life can often prevent us from seeing graced moments that radiate with God’s graceful presence. They also prevent God’s transforming, healing, and hope filled vision for our world from being realized. Without faith, God won’t be able to do much for us either.

4 We Open Our Door To Everyone

A NEW TREE IN MEMORY OF JACK RAY

We have planted a beautiful Norway Spruce in front of the rectory facing Rte. 45. This tree is replacing a Colorado Spruce that unfortunately had to be taken down a few weeks ago. The Colorado Spruce that was taken down was donated by the Watson Family’s back yard to Santa Maria in memory of Mr. Ray in 1979.

This new tree was also planted in honor of Mr. Jack Ray.

Fr. Miguel Martinez, the Ray Family, and several parishioners gathered on June 20^th after the 7:30am mass for the dedication of our new gorgeous tree. A beautiful plaque was placed in front of it honoring the memory of Mr. Jack Ray. May God bless the Ray Family and our SMDP parishioners.
