Each week at Sunday Mass Fr. David will call a

the Vocation Chalice. They receive a blessing
and take the chalice home, putting it in a place
of honor.
Each day for a week, during prayer time (morning, bedtime
or at meals), they pray for an increase and perseverance of
vocations. The following Sunday they return the Vocation
Blessing Chalice with the gifts of bread and wine at
The Offertory.

Health and Wellness Ministries: Body, Mind, and spirit
The body mind and spirit connection
The belief that mind, body, and spirit are intricately connected goes back
centuries. During the 17th century the basic “connected” approach to
health and wellness fell by the wayside. As scientists explored the inner
workings of the human body they discovered the fundamental concepts
that germs are the source of disease. That medication and surgical techniques can be used to treat disease and illnesses. These discoveries
paved the way for great strides in medicine and innovative treatments
that continue today. Recently there has been a new found recognition of
the integrated working of body, mind, and spirit. This recognition – combined with increasing scientific studies implicate the mind as one of several factors in the development of disease and illness-- has increased
interest in the body, mind, spirit interaction not only in medical practice
but in living a full and healthy life.
Body
Body, mind, spirit living
Healthy eating
Exercise
Involvement in community
Mind-- Body mind adaptations are not only physical but also mental.
First
 Restore the mind to a state of peaceful neutrality--- in this state the
mind achieves a state that's nonjudgmental, efficient, and adapted to
the needs of the individual.
 Reaching this state requires us to shed negative experiences acquired over the years
Second
 Use this “ready” mind is a manner to achieve beneficial health effects
--- through spiritual intervention (prayer), meditation, or the practice of
breathing and posture (yoga)
 The power and speed of the mind is phenomenal.
Spirit
 Learning new and more refined techniques it is important to recognize the simplicity of their underlying concepts. Interventions are at
their core based on the values that our Lord Jesus Christ has taught
us. Peace - forgiveness - sharing - selflessness - integrity –

Teen Reflection for Sunday June 19, 2016 Twelfth Sunday in Ordinary Time
Zechariah 12:10–11; 13:1, Psalm 63:2, 3–4, 5–6, 8–9, Galatians 3:26–29, Luke 9:18–24
Reflection
When you are upset, can you really believe that being able to pray will get
you through it? As a Christian that is our call—to trust that, even in the
hard times, we know who we are: a child fully dependent on something
greater than ourselves. God knows it takes time to grieve, to get over our
anger, resentment, and frustration at not being able to do something we
put all of our energy into. There comes a point when you simply cannot be
angry anymore, it takes too much energy. This is when Psalm 63 comes to life and speaks for us.
“My soul is thirsting for you, O Lord my God” (antiphon). “You are my help. / . . . /My soul clings
fast to you” (63:8a, 9a). It is easier to cling to something we can feel and see, like a
smartphone or iPad. Today’s Scripture asks us to remember that when we are emptied of
ourselves and our ways, we find new wisdom to see and name God for who God is in our lives.
Happy Father’s day to
all Fathers may God
bless you with health
and happiness always!

Señor,
we serve truly appreciate it!
te agradezco por el
padre que me diste y
que tanto admiro.
Haz que siempre lo
ame más y que él se
sienta amados. Auméntale las alegrías y
no permitas que yo,
para él, me convierta
en un peso. Ayúdame
a aliviar sus horas de
cansancio y preocupaciones, para que pueda servirles de
"Cirineo". No dejes, Señor, que los desengaños le hagan
decaer o que el desánimo le domine. Ayúdale a enfrentar,
con renovado coraje, sus responsabilidades y a actuar
frente a ellas de la mejor manera posible. Que el sea firme
y severo cuando sea necesario, sin dejar de ser bueno.
Que no se pierda en la impaciencia, sino que sepa perdonar
mis flaquezas. Que yo no repare en sus defectos, Señor,
sino en sus cualidades y que sepa no sólo admirar sus
buenos ejemplos, sino también imitarlo, especialmente
cuando a mi vez tenga mis propios hijos. Consérvalo, Señor,
en tu amor y que nuestra familia, viviendo ahora unida bajo
tus cuidados y bendiciones, pueda también vivir unida en el
cielo, para cantar tu nombre, ¡Oh Padre de los
padres!. Amén.
