Dear Holy Rosary Family,
The Gospel this weekend urges us to be Messengers of the Gospel, that is, to be followers of Jesus and proclaim His message. In Luke’s version of this Gospel, which is proclaimed at this July 2-3 liturgy, Jesus Himself appoints “seventy-two...whom He sent ahead of Him in pairs to every town and place He intended to visit.” The number seventy-two is symbolic, meaning “the number of people in the whole world.”
Just because Evansville and Vanderburgh Co., Indiana, are not mentioned by name in the Gospel, that does not leave us off the hook! We still have much to do as laborers in the vineyard in order for the harvest to be gathered. Every one of us is urged to pray with Christ, and through Him, that we respond as workers sent for the harvest. We are charged with proclaiming the Gospel in words…and in our actions and attitudes. St. Francis of Assisi is often quoted as saying “Preach the Gospel at all times. Use words if necessary.”
For years, many of us have heard this urging as a vocation call to priesthood, the deaconate and religious life as a Brother or Sister. Not so. It’s meant for ALL OF US, including priests, deacons, sisters, brothers and YOU! The time is pressing, but do not be discouraged…there are “seventy two” of us! It behooves us to support one another as Messengers of the Gospel in Evansville, in Vanderburgh Co. and beyond!
I’m with you on the journey! Can we all, please, be there for one another and help bring the Kingdom of God a bit closer to the here and now…and later, too?
Querida Familia de Holy Rosary,
El Evangelio de este fin de semana nos solicita ser Mensajeros del Evangelio, es decir, ser seguidores de Jesús y proclamar su mensaje. En la versión de Lucas de este Evangelio que se proclama en esta liturgia del 2 al 3 de julio, Jesús mismo designa a “setenta y dos… a quienes envió delante de Él de dos en dos a cada ciudad y lugar que tenía intención de visitar”. El número setenta y dos es simbólico y significa “el número de personas en todo el mundo”.
¡El hecho de que Vanderburgh Co. y Evansville, Indiana no se mencionen por su nombre en el Evangelio no nos deja libres! Todavía tenemos mucho que hacer como obreros en la viña para que se recoja la cosecha. Cada uno de nosotros está llamado a orar con Cristo, y por Él, para responder como obreros enviados a la mies. Estamos encargados de proclamar el Evangelio en palabras... y en nuestras acciones y actitudes. A menudo se cita a San Francisco de Asís diciendo: “Predica el Evangelio en todo momento. Usa palabras si es necesario”.
Durante años, muchos de nosotros hemos escuchado este llamado como una vocación al sacerdocio, al diaconado y a la vida religiosa como Hermano o Hermana. ¡Está destinado a TODOS NOSOTROS, incluidos sacerdotes, diáconos, hermanas, hermanos y USTED! El tiempo apremia pero no os desaniméis… ¡somos “setenta y dos”! ¡Nos corresponde apoyarnos unos a otros como Mensajeros del Evangelio en Vanderburgh Co, en Evansville y más allá!
¡Estoy contigo en el viaje! ¡Todos podemos, por favor, estemos allí unos para otros y ayudemos a traer el Reino de Dios un poco más cerca del aquí y ahora... y más tarde también!
