THREE WAYS TO PRAY IN IGNATIAN SPIRITUALITY: The Examen This is not the same thing as an
“examination of conscience” one might do prior to
confession. Rather it is a roughly five-step process to
review the content of the day. It moves through stages
of looking for moments of gratitude; to reviewing the
events of the day; to calling to mind anything we regret
or are sorry for; to deciding if we need to reconcile with
anyone; to asking God to be present and give us the
grace necessary for the next day. I have heard the Examen described as “inviting God into our story” – consciously looking for God’s presence in the moments of
the day and paying attention to them in a particular
way.
Consolations and Desolations We believe in a fundamentally incarnate God. The Jesuits further their awareness of this reality by “finding God in all things.” One
way to do this is through identifying consolations and
desolations. A consolation is any experience in which
we feel consoled by God’s presence. These would be
moments in the day when we feel particularly peaceful,
joy-filled, hopeful, loving. A desolation is an experience
in which we feel distanced from God. These would be
moments of confusion, fear, or loneliness. Consolations and desolations are not as simple as saying when
you were happy and sad in a day—this is a deeper reflection than that. These are the times that we felt closest
to God and farthest from God.
Imaginative Contemplation This is a method of praying with Scripture in which we use our imagination to
enter into the passage. Most often it is prayed with a
gospel passage that moves us toward an encounter with
Jesus. In preparation, we read the passage once or
twice. Then, often with eyes closed, we use our senses
to begin to enter into the scene described in the passage: what it must have sounded like, smelled like, felt
like; what the people look like, wear, and how they
sound; where we feel drawn to stand or sit, and how we
participate in or observe the scene unfold before us . . .
all leading up to a personal conversation with Jesus.
Contrastingly to the Examen, where we “invite God
into our story,” imaginative contemplation is described
as “entering into God’s story.” -USCCB
THERE WILL NOT BE DAILY MASS July 19
through August 19 as Father Andrew will be on vacation.
HELP NEEDED: We are looking for
a year round maintenance person for
the buildings on the parish campus.
This is a flexible, part time paid
position. If you are interested, please
call the parish office.
OKTOBERFEST, our parish
fundraiser, is back and just around
the corner! We need volunteers,
silent raffle items, and more! Please
contact the parish office if you can
help in any way! If everyone assists for 1/2 hour,
everyone will have time to enjoy as well. An
organizational meeting has been rescheduled to
Monday, July 25, not July 21, at 6:00 p.m. in the
church hall. Please call the parish office if you plan
to attend.
HABITAT FOR HUMANITY has once
again asked us to provide lunches for the
construction crew on Wednesdays in August and
September. A Sign up sheet is in the hall. Thank you
for your support as we do good for those who do
good!
CATECHETICAL CORNER: WHAT IS
EVANGELIZATION? The simplest way to say what
evangelization means is to follow Pope Paul VI, whose
message Evangelii Nuntiandi (On Evangelization in the
Modern World) has inspired so much recent thought
and activity in the Church. We can rephrase his
words to say that evangelizing means bringing the
Good News of Jesus into every human situation and
seeking to convert individuals and society by the
divine power of the Gospel itself. At its essence are
the proclamation of salvation in Jesus Christ and the
response of a person in faith, which are both works of
the Spirit of God. Evangelization must always be
directly connected to the Lord Jesus Christ. “There is
no true evangelization if the name, the teaching, the
life, the promises, the Kingdom and the mystery of
Jesus of Nazareth, the Son of God are not proclaimed
(Evangelii Nuntiandi, no. 22).” - USCCB
HOMES NEEDED: Host homes are needed for 15
girls from England for a basketball tournament
beginning July 30 for several weeks. If you can help
or need additional information, please see Shannon
Rackowski at 541-549-2091.
Iglesia Católica Romana, San Eduardo el Mártir
24 de Julio, Diez y Siete avo Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario
SANTO DE LA SEMANA: Ignacio de Loyola
(1491–1556). Fiesta: 31 de julio. Iñigo López de
Loyola, nació en el ancestral castillo vasco de su
familia, sirvió de paje en Castilla y fue un soldado
herido en batalla y fue entonces cuando experimentó
una conversión personal que tuvo profundas
consecuencias para la Iglesia. Mientras convalecía, él
leyó acerca de Cristo y de los santos, hizo un retiro en
Manresa y viajó a Jerusalén. Por 10 años estudió en
Barcelona y en Paris en donde se convirtió en
“Ignacio” y atrajo a un grupo de compañeros de ideas
a nes. Juntos, fundaron la Sociedad de Jesús, o
jesuitas, para convertirse en misioneros activos y, así,
poder enfrentarse a los desafíos de la Reforma.
Ignacio, Superior General de la nueva orden, escribió
también los “Ejercicios espirituales”, los cuales aún
sirven como guía espiritual. Él, es el santo patrón de
los retiros y de los soldados. –USCCB
RINCÓN CATEQUÉTICO: Evangelización es la
acción de evangelizar o anunciar el evangelio. Evangelio es
una palabra de origen griego que significa buena
noticia. Esta voz era ya conocida en el mundo clásico.
Constituía la buena o alegre noticia, traída por un
mensajero, por ejemplo, del triunfo sobre el enemigo
en una batalla. Significó incluso la recompensa dada
al portador de la buena noticia. El cristianismo
primitivo usó esta palabra para aplicarla al
acontecimiento de la encarnación del Hijo de Dios.
Luego la utilizó en plural para designar los cuatro
libros —los evangelios— que narran los principales
hechos y palabras de Jesús, desde que comenzó su
predicación en Galilea hasta su ascensión al cielo. Los
evangelios reciben el nombre de sus autores: Mateo
(Mt.), Marcos (Mc), Lucas (Lc.) y Juan (Jn). Los tres
primeros son denominados sinópticos, porque pueden
leerse en paralelo, como en visión panorámica.
Evangelizar es un verbo derivado de evangelio, y
equivale a la proclamación o anuncio de Jesucristo y
de su mensaje. Con la finalidad de que quien recibe
esta alegre noticia se convierta y se bautice, para ser
hijo adoptivo de Dios, formar parte de la Iglesia y
llegar a la plenitud de la vocación sobrenatural con la
práctica de las buenas obras.
SUMARIO: I. Evangelizar: 1. En la Sagrada
Escritura; 2. En la Iglesia primitiva; 3. En la
actualidad.
II. Datos históricos: 1. En el protestantismo; 2. En la Iglesia católica. III. Evangelización y catequesis. IV. La evange-
lización y la catequesis en el DGC.

SAINT OF THE WEEK: Ignatius of Loyola (1491–
1556, Feast Day July 31) Born in his family’s ancestral Basque castle, Inigo Lopez de Loyola was a page
in Castile and a soldier wounded in battle, when he
experienced a personal conversion, which had profound consequences on the Church. While convalescing, he read about Christ and the saints, made a
long retreat at Manresa, and journeyed to Jerusalem.
He studied for 10 years in Barcelona and Paris,
where he became “Ignatius” and attracted a group of
like-minded companions. Together, they founded
the Society of Jesus, or Jesuits, to be active missionaries and thereby meet the challenges of the Reformation. Ignatius, superior general of the new order,
also wrote the “Spiritual Exercises,” which is still a
popular spiritual guide. He is the patron saint of retreats and soldiers. -USCCB

Prayer of Pope Francis for the Jubilee: Lord Jesus Christ, you have taught us to be merciful like the heavenly Father, and have told us that
whoever sees you sees Him. Show us your face and we will be saved. Your loving gaze freed Zacchaeus and Matthew from being enslaved by money; the
adulteress and Magdalene from seeking happiness only in created things; made Peter weep after his betrayal, and assured Paradise to the repentant thief.
Let us hear, as if addressed to each one of us, the words that you spoke to the Samaritan woman: “If you knew the gift of God!” You are the visible face
of the invisible Father, of the God who manifests his power above all by forgiveness and mercy: let the Church be your visible face in the
world, its Lord risen and glorified. You willed that your ministers would also be clothed in weakness in order that they may feel compassion for those in ignorance and error: let everyone who approaches them feel sought after, loved, and forgiven by God. Send your Spirit
and consecrate every one of us with its anointing, so that the Jubilee of Mercy may be a year of grace from the Lord, and your Church,
with renewed enthusiasm, may bring good news to the poor, proclaim liberty to captives and the oppressed, and restore sight to the
blind. We ask this of you, Lord Jesus, through the intercession of Mary, Mother of Mercy; you who live and reign with the Father and
the Holy Spirit for ever and ever. Amen.
Señor Jesucristo, tú nos has enseñado a ser misericordiosos como el Padre del cielo, y nos has dicho que quien te ve, lo ve también a Él.
Muéstranos tu rostro y obtendremos la salvación. Tu mirada llena de amor liberó a Zaqueo y a Mateo de la esclavitud del dinero; a la
adúltera y a la Magdalena del buscar la felicidad solamente en una creatura; hizo llorar a Pedro luego de la traición, y aseguró el Paraíso al ladrón arrepentido. Haz que cada uno de nosotros escuche como propia la palabra que dijiste a la samaritana: ¡Si conocieras el don de Dios!Tú eres el rostro visible
del Padre invisible,del Dios que manifiesta su omnipotencia sobre todo con el perdón y la misericordia: haz que, en el mundo, la Iglesia sea el rostro visible de Ti, su Señor, resucitado y glorioso.Tú has querido que también tus ministros fueran revestidos de debilidad para que sientan sincera compasión por
los que se encuentran en la ignorancia o en el error:haz que quien se acerque a uno de ellos se sienta esperado, amado y perdonado por Dios.Manda tu
Espíritu y conságranos a todos con su unción para que el Jubileo de la Misericordia sea un año de gracia del Señor y tu Iglesia pueda, con renovado entusiasmo, llevar la Buena Nueva a los pobresproclamar la libertad a los prisioneros y oprimidosy restituir la vista a los ciegos. Te lo pedimos por intercesión de María, Madre de la Misericordia, a ti que vives y reinas con el Padre y el Espíritu Santo por los siglos de los siglos. Amen.

YEAR OF MERCY QUESTION
OF THE WEEK:
Happiness can be fleeting. Selfless love has
the potential to carry a couple over the long
haul and bring abiding joy. Is there some way
you can be selfless today? Don’t aim for every
day; just today.
Prayer is described as dialog
with God. What will you ask of
God this week?
As you move through the week how can you
praise, thank and ask God for help?
