PEACE
LA PAZ
The greeting of peace at Mass adds substance to
a message of today’s readings: peace is relational.
When we greet in peace the person near us at Mass,
we share the touch of a handshake or embrace, sincere eye contact, and friendly words.
El saludo de la paz en la Misa fundamenta un mensaje
de las lecturas de hoy: la paz es relacional. Cuando le
damos la paz a la persona que está cerca de nosotros
en la Misa, compartimos el roce de un apretón de manos o un abrazo, el contacto visual sincero y palabras
amistosas.
The scriptures speak of a similar peace. The first
reading from Isaiah describes the peace of the holy
city, Jerusalem, a place of prosperity and comfort
where the “LORD’s power shall be known to his
servants” (Isaiah 66:14c).
Las Escrituras hablan de una paz similar. La primera
lectura de Isaías describe la paz como la ciudad sagrada, Jerusalén, un lugar de prosperidad y de consuelo
donde “Los siervos del Señor conocerán su poder”.
The Christian understanding of peace changes
slightly. Paul writes of the “peace and mercy” on
all who are created anew. Jesus describes a feeling
of peace that will rest on those who accept his disciples and their message.
El entendimiento cristiano de la paz cambia ligeramente. San Pablo escribe sobre “la paz y la misericordia” para todos los que son nuevas criaturas. Jesús
describe un sentimiento de paz que se posará sobre
los que aceptan a sus discípulos y a su mensaje.
Peace is both an absence of strife and a personal
blessing. May we always and sincerely bring peace
to our own lives as we share it with others.
La paz es tanto la ausencia de conflictos como una
bendición personal. Que siempre y sinceramente
traigamos paz a nuestras propias vidas mientras la
compartimos con los demás.

Dear Lord,
There is no greater feeling of liberation than to
experience this freedom from sin and death that you
have provided for me through Jesus Christ. Today
my heart and my soul are free to praise you. For this
I am very thankful.
On this Independence Day I am reminded of all
those who have sacrificed for my freedom, following the example of your Son, Jesus Christ. Let me
not take my freedom, both physical and spiritual, for
granted.
Lord, today, bless those who have served and continue to give their lives for my freedom. With favor
and bounty meet their needs and watch over their
families.
Help me to live my life in a way that glorifies you,
Lord. Give me the strength to be a blessing in someone else’s life today, and grant me the opportunity
to lead others into the freedom that can be found in
knowing Christ.
Amen

PRAYER SERVICE
&
BENEDICTION
in the Church
from 7:00 PM to 8:00 PM
“Blessed be God!
Blessed be His holy Name!”
Benediction is a beautiful word. It means a blessing, a greeting, an expression of kindness and love.
Benediction is also a beautiful service of the church.
It is a service that makes real to us in an impressive way the fact that God is always reaching out to
us, to bless, to strengthen, to assure us of his loving
kindness toward us. Please come and pray with us.

A Living Wax Museum
During the last week of school, students in St. Mary Gate of Heaven Catholic Academy’s class 3-2 created
a Living Wax Museum. Ms. Rodgers and the children spent several weeks preparing for the event. Each
student chose a historical figure to research and prepared a brief biography that they memorized. On Wax
Museum Day, they arrived in costume and stood in the gym - as still as possible - with “on” buttons on their
hands. Other classes and special visitors could press the button and watch the children come to life and recite
facts about the person they were portraying.
