To Find Our Lives: Scott Hahn Reflects on the
13th Sunday in Ordinary Time
The Liturgy this week continues to instruct us in the elements of discipleship. We’re told that even the most humble among us have a share in the mission Christ gives to His Church. We’re not all called to the ministry of the Apostles, or to be prophets like Elisha in today’s First Reading. But each of us is called to a holy life (see 2 Timothy 1:9; 1 Thessalonians 4:3). At Baptism our lives were joined forever to the cross of Christ, as Paul tells us in today’s Epistle. Baptized into His death, we’re to renounce sin and live for God in Christ Jesus. We are to follow Him, each of us taking up our personal cross, as Jesus says in today’s Gospel. That doesn’t mean we will all be asked to suffer a martyr’s death. But each of us is called to self-denial, to the offering of our lives in service of God’s plan. Jesus must be elevated to first place in our lives—above even our closest bonds of kinship and love. By Baptism, we’ve been made part of a new family—the kingdom of God, the Church. We are to proclaim that kingdom with our lives, bringing our fathers and mothers, and all men and women to live as “little ones” under the fatherhood of God and the kingship of the Holy One. We do this by opening our hearts and homes to the service of the Lord, following the Shunnamite woman’s example in today’s First Reading. As Jesus tells us, we’re to receive others—not only prophets, but also little children, the poor and the imprisoned—as we receive Christ himself (see Matthew 18:5; 25:31–46).
As we sing in today’s Psalm, we are to testify to His favors and kindness in our lives. We’re to hold fast to the promise—that if we have died with Christ, we shall also live, that if we lose our lives for His sake, we shall find our reward, and walk forever in His countenance.

All young adults (18 to 35) are invited to attend a life changing
four week series based on St. John Paul II’s Love and Responsibility. The talks and discussions will be
grounded upon Dr. Edward Sri’s Men, Women & The Mystery of Love. In an era, where there is much confusion about love and relationships, these insights are perhaps needed now more
than ever. These evenings will shed light on the mysterious dynamics between men and women, and at the same time, challenge us to live out these relationships better. The series
with conclude with a Mass celebrated by Cardinal Tobin. July 5th & July 12th (Mass w/Cardinal Tobin)

July 2, 2017
Dear Community of St. Patrick and St. John,
With all my heart, I want first to give thanks to God for my vocation and priesthood so far and for sending me to this community. I want to also say thank you to our Pastor Rev. Bismarck Chau, to the group of people who made it possible for everything to be very good, to those who prepared the food and cooked, to those who brought the drinks and even the dessert, everything was so good. The truth is that I felt that affection and appreciation of you for me and everything happened in my first weekend, I am a blessed man to be here now and start working with you. As I said last Sunday in my homily, we must always work as a team and I want that team to be strengthened more and more with the help of God, Rev. Bismarck Chau and myself, so that we can grow as a community, so we can be a good example to each other every day.
May God and Mary watch over you today and always,
Fr. Juan Ortega Ortiz

Bienvenidos
Encontrar nuestra vida: Scott Hahn reflexiona sobre el
13º Domingo de Tiempo Ordinario
La liturgia de esta semana nos sigue instruyendo en los elementos del discipulado. Se nos dice que hasta el más humilde de entre nosotros com-parte en la misión que Cristo le ha encomendado a Su Iglesia. No todos estamos llamados al ministerio de apóstoles, o de ser profetas como Eliseo en la primera lectura. Pero cada uno está llamado vivir una vida de san-tidad (véase 2 Timoteo 1,9; 1 Tesalonicenses 4,3). En el bautismo, nuestra vida se une para siempre a la cruz de Cristo, como nos dice Pablo en la segunda lectura. Bautizados en Su muerte, debemos renunciar al pecado y vivir para Dios en Cristo Jesús. Debemos seguirlo, cada uno cargando su propia cruz, como nos dice Jesús en este evangelio. Esto no significa que todos estamos llamados a padecer una muerte de martirio. Pero cada uno si está llamado a negarse a sí mismo, a ofrecer nuestra vida al servicio del plan de Dios. Jesús tiene que ocupar el primer lugar en nuestra vida--- primero que nuestros lazos familiares y de amor. Por el bautismo, hemos sido integrados a una nueva familia---al reino de Dios, la Iglesia. Nos corre-sponde proclamar ese reino con nuestra vida, conducir a nuestros padres y madres, a todo hombre y mujer a vivir como “los pequeños” bajo la paternidad de Dios y el reinado del Santísimo. Esto lo hacemos al abrir nuestros corazones y nuestros hogares al servicio del Señor, siguiendo el ejemplo de la mujer sunamita en la primera lectura. Debemos recibir a los demás, como dice Jesús, no sólo a los profetas, sino también a los pequeñ-os, a los pobres y a los presos---como recibiendo a Cristo mismo (véase Mateo 18,5; 25,31-46). Como cantamos en este salmo, debemos proclamar Sus proezas y bondad en nuestras vidas. Debemos man-tenernos firmes en la promesa—que si hemos muerto con Cristo, también viviremos con Él, y si perdemos nuestras vidas por causa de Él, encon-traremos nuestra recompensa, y caminaremos para siempre ante Él.
Querida comunidad de San Patricio y San John,
Quiero de todo corazón, primeramente darle
gracias a Dios por mi vocación como sacerdote
y por enviarme a esta comunidad en Newark. A
Nuestro párroco Padre Bis., al grupo de personas
que hicieron posible que todo saliera súper bien,
los que prepararon la comida, las que trajeron las
bebidas e incluso el postre, fue una delicia.! La
verdad sentí ese cariño y aprecio de parte de
ustedes para conmigo y en un solo fin de
sema-na, yo soy un hombre muy afortunado de estar
acá ahora e iniciar a trabajar con ustedes. Como
les dije en la homilía del domingo, nosotros
de-bemos que trabajar siempre en equipo y yo
quiero que ese equipo se fortalezca cada vez más
con la ayuda de Dios, del Padre Rev. Bismarck
Chau y yo, que día a día podamos ser un buen
ejemplo para las demás personas.
Que Dios y María los cuide hoy y siempre,
Con cariño,
Fr. Juan Ortega Ortiz
