Our readings this weekend are full of hope and confidence. The theme of growth, seeds, and trees winds in and out of these readings. So does the notion of universality: God’s kingdom is for the whole of humanity. May we grow in joyful hope as we pray and ponder them. ... See MoreSee Less

Tucked within Muir Woods, a national memorial park in California, is a beautiful space called Cathedral Grove. Hikers are asked to maintain quiet as they behold the old-growth coastal redwood trees. Though not a “cathedral” in the ecclesial sense, the grove reminds us that nature is one of the surest places to experience the power and tenderness of God. Pope Francis writes in Laudato Si’: “The entire material universe speaks of God’s love, his boundless affection for us. Soil, water, mountains: everything is, as it were, a caress of God.” How do you experience this “caress of God,” even in your own backyard? Summer is the perfect time to cultivate such experiences! ... See MoreSee Less

“Anthony...you’re my favorite!”
If that’s not what Jesus is whispering in his ear, it’s probably pretty close! And l’d have to agree.
I know and love a lot of saints...but you, St. Anthony, are the one I pester the most! Our first encounters were the regular string of frantic, “where-did-I-put-it”,
“tony-tony-come-around.” But you’ve convinced me that you truly CAN find anything...including the bigger, more elusive things: peace of mind, conversion of heart, purpose, virtue...Jesus @. I still lose my passwords, my papers, my keys (and the list could go on!) and you always come through. But lately, I count on you SO much more for the bigger things, knowing that you have the ear of that sweet Baby you’re holding in your arms!
So happy feast day, and a million thanks, from your very devoted pest.

Congratulations
Why?
Most principals stay til retirement or move for their own financial gains. I am not impressed Coronado has no high school Catholic nor Mexican drug cartel ban nor corrupt Mexican politician. Form the shores where I used to live contributing van to acres ❤️but the DEA will deal with it
Congratulations to our @shpscoronado graduating class of 2024!

A friend of mine and his wife recently welcomed their third child. They are delighted, but they are also tired. My friend “takes” his body back and forth from the baby’s room to the kitchen to the bathroom to the market to the pediatrician’s office, and sometimes his body and his wife’s doesn’t get a whole lot of sleep. Another friend is caring for her ailing, elderly mother, and makes frequent trips to see her. She’s tired too, “taking” her body back and forth, across state lines. And sometimes I get tired too! I “take” my body from place to place, from home to office, from talk to talk, from church to church.
When Jesus said, “Take this, all of you, and eat of it,” he was offering his body in the way that we normally think of the Eucharist, which begin as bread and wine. (And isn’t it wonderful that the elements that are transformed are so commonplace?)
But Jesus “offered” his body in other ways as well. Before he delivered the Bread of Life discourse, he fed 5,000 people a short distance away and, as if that weren’t enough, that night he walked on the water of the Sea of Galilee, during a storm. After he finished the Bread of Life discourse, his brothers say to him, “Leave Galilee and go to Judea, so that your disciples there may see the works you do.” So he “takes” himself there.
Throughout the Gospels we see Jesus “taking” his body and “offering” or “giving” it to people, in so many different ways. He walks from one town to another, sleeping by the side of the road, eating and drinking with people in their homes, healing the sick, feeding the crowds and raising the dead.
Our lives are never going to be exactly like that of Jesus’s. None of us is the sinless Son of God and we’re not going to “offer” or “give” our bodies in the Eucharist as Jesus did at the Last Supper. But we certainly know the feeling of “taking” our bodies from place to place, in works of charity and “offering” them in loving service to others. Do this in memory of him.

Amen.
Today is the Feast of Saint Barnabas! Saint Barnabas is given the honorary title of apostle along with St. Paul because they were commissioned together by the Holy Spirit to preach to and shepherd the people in Antioch. Barnabas was not afraid of the man who was known to be one of the greatest persecutors of the Church. When he heard that Saul might have had a profound conversion, Barnabas was the first to give him a second chance. Is there anyone in your life who you could give a second chance?
St. Barnabas, pray for us.

The Catholic Church is everywhere, really. She even gave us our morning Cappuccino (from the Capuchin monk who invented it).
The world benefits from the Church on a daily basis without even knowing it.
For example, even though none of us want to be in a hospital, we’re certainly glad
they exist when we need them.
But did you know that the Catholic Church
was the one to invent hospitals
as we know them today?
Early hospitals (we’re talking 4th century) were called basilias—named for Saint Basil—
due to his efforts to establish health care centers all over the Roman empire.
Public schools and Universities, Social services, a rule of Law, Human Rights-the list goes on.
Our Catholic faith is not about membership but discipleship. A discipleship of faith that continues to serve, to be a gift “for the world”.
Thank you to all who so generously and courageously live their lives in service “for the world.” ❤️🙏❤️

Jesus said to his disciples:
“You are the salt of the earth.
But if salt loses its taste, with what can it be seasoned?
It is no longer good for anything
but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot.
You are the light of the world.
A city set on a mountain cannot be hidden.
Nor do they light a lamp and then put it under a bushel basket;
it is set on a lampstand,
where it gives light to all in the house.
Just so, your light must shine before others,
that they may see your good deeds
and glorify your heavenly Father.”
Matthew 5:13-16
