STEWARDSHIP REFLECTIONS As we enter back Al regresar al Tiempo Ordinario, nuestras lecturas de hoy nos into Ordinary Time, our recuerdan que el cielo es nuestro verdadero hogar y que no readings today remind us that heaven is our true home and podemos llegar allí sin la ayuda de Dios. that we cannot make it there without God’s assistance. En nuestra primera lectura, el profeta Ezequiel predice la venida In our First Reading, the prophet Ezekiel foretells the del Reino de Dios. Podemos ver que Jesús es el cedro que se coming of the Kingdom of God. We can see that Jesus is convertirá en refugio para todas las personas. Humillará a los the cedar that will become refuge for all people. He will soberbios, ensalzará a los humildes y producirá buenos frutos en los humble the proud, lift up the lowly and produce good fruit debilitados. Es Dios quien hace las maravillas. in the weakened. It is God who does the wondrous works. We often go through life wanting to be in control. We try A menudo pasamos por la vida deseando tener el control. to solve all our problems, as we think, "I can do it myself." Tratamos de resolver todos nuestros problemas, ya que pensamos: We cling to our own ideas by putting certain events, future "Puedo hacerlo yo mismo". Nos aferramos a nuestras propias ideas plans or even day-to-day moments into a perfect little box, poniendo ciertos eventos, planes futuros o incluso momentos del día "This is the way I want it." We can even push back in a día en una cajita perfecta, "Así es como lo quiero". Incluso podemos moments of suffering by trying to find every possible way retroceder en momentos de sufrimiento tratando de encontrar to get out of it. We are "in control." todas las formas posibles de salir de él. Estamos "en control". Imagine what life would be like if we surrendered a little Imagínese cómo sería la vida si nos rindiéramos un poco más. Es more. It is easier said than done — but, oh, how freeing it más fácil decirlo que hacerlo, pero, oh, qué liberador sería. ¿Qué would be. What if we opened our clenched hands to God pasaría si abriéramos nuestras manos cerradas a Dios y dijéramos: and said, “Thy will be done”? We would become free from “Hágase tu voluntad”? Nos liberaríamos del apego y seríamos más attachment and more blessed than we could ever imagine. bendecidos de lo que jamás podríamos imaginar. Only God can do all that He promised in our First Solo Dios puede hacer todo lo que prometió en nuestra primera Reading. We need Him. All we need to do is surrender. To lectura. Lo necesitamos. Todo lo que tenemos que hacer es help us on this journey of total surrender, try starting each rendirnos. Para ayudarnos en este viaje de entrega total, intente day with a prayer of surrender, “Lord, I give You this day and comenzar cada día con una oración de entrega: “Señor, te entrego all that You have in store for me, my family and friends.” este día y todo lo que tienes reservado para mí, mi familia y amigos”. With the guidance of the Lord, surely we Con la guía del Señor, seguramente llegaremos al cielo. will make it home to heaven. -Catholic Stewardship Consultants © LPi

FEAST OF ST. ANTHONY OF PADUA - JUNE 13 St. Anthony Can Find Anything — Even You “Tony, Tony, come around! Something is lost and it must be found.” Did you learn this one when you were a kid? In my experience there are even a lot of lapsed Catholics — or people who were never Catholic at all — who know that when you lose something, St. Anthony becomes your best friend. Missing keys? Pray to St. Anthony. Can’t find your favorite sweater? St. Anthony. Forget where you parked your car in the mall lot? St. Anth— okay, you get the idea. Whatever it is, large or small, important or trivial, Tony has a reputation for finding the lost things. It’s a devotion that can seem a little like superstition — witchcraft, even? — if you don’t really understand it. Mumble an incantation to a dead guy and you’re guaranteed to find your sunglasses. But as with most traditions that are old, beloved and effective, looking a little closer reveals the truth of the matter. When we lose something really important, what do we do? We make the whole household stop what they’re doing to join the search. Having St. Anthony as a friend means you ask him to stop what he’s doing to help, too. And how he helps is by taking the matter exactly where all matters need to go — straight to the feet of Christ. Here’s the real genius of St Anthony: he takes the most mundane, commonplace occurrence — misplacing socks — into an encounter with the divine and truly all things great and small are gifts from God. He grabs our hand and points to the cross. “That’s what you’re looking for,” he tells us. In the end, Tony doesn’t really find the lost things. He finds the lost people.
