Gospel Meditation:
My parents’ garage is full of old junk that no longer serves any purpose in my life. As a 46-year-old man, I admit that’s pretty lame. Either due to my sentimentality or laziness (or both, probably), I just couldn’t get myself to throw things away. But a few days ago, by a grace of God, I thought: “I’ll hire my nephew Ryan to throw a bunch of my stuff away — he couldn’t care less about my junk!” And you know what? It worked. In one day, Ryan chucked the majority of his uncle’s useless stuff. I feel so free, ready for a new junk-free chapter in my life.
This kind of thing happens in this Sunday’s Gospel. Peter’s net is full of useless junk. Luke says he and the others are cleaning their nets after catching no fish. Imagine them dejectedly and impatiently removing a nasty assortment of seaweed, sticks and muck. The Lord teaches and calls them once their nets are cleared out. So it goes with us. Spiritual life begins by removing that which is useless and merely taking up space in our hearts, minds and lives. Then Jesus teaches and acts in a marvelous way in our lives, too.
So what’s junking up your net? What habits, attachments, possessions, preoccupations? If, like me, you struggle to clean your nets by yourself, ask the Lord to send you someone like my nephew to be your “Peter” and help you clean it out. It is well worth it. Once Peter’s net is clean, he is free to make a wonderful catch.
— Father John Muir
Meditación del Evangelio:
El garaje de mis padres está lleno de trastos viejos que ya no sirven para nada en mi vida. Como hombre de 46 años, admito que es bastante tonto. Ya sea debido a mi sentimentalismo o pereza (o ambos, probablemente), simplemente no podía tirar las cosas. Pero hace unos días, por la gracia de Dios, pensé: "Contrataré a mi sobrino Ryan para que tire un montón de mis cosas, ¡no podría importarle menos mi basura!" ¿Y sabes qué? Funcionó. En un día, Ryan tiró la mayoría de las cosas inútiles de su tío. Me siento tan libre, lista para un nuevo capítulo libre de basura en mi vida.
Este tipo de cosas suceden en el Evangelio de este domingo. La red de Pedro está llena de trastos inútiles. Luke dice que él y los demás están limpiando sus redes después de no pescar. Imagínalos retirando abatidos e impacientes una desagradable variedad de algas, palos y lodo. El Señor les enseña y los llama una vez que sus redes han sido retiradas. Así va con nosotros. La vida espiritual comienza eliminando lo que es inútil y simplemente ocupando espacio en nuestros corazones, mentes y vidas. Entonces Jesús enseña y actúa de una manera maravillosa en nuestras vidas también.
Entonces, ¿qué es lo que está destrozando tu red? ¿Qué hábitos, apegos, posesiones, preocupaciones? Si, como yo, luchas por limpiar tus redes por ti mismo, pídele al Señor que te envíe a alguien como mi sobrino para que sea tu "Pedro" y te ayude a limpiarlas. Vale la pena. Una vez que la red de Pedro está limpia, es libre de hacer una captura maravillosa.
— Father John Muir

CANTORS NEEDED
Do you like to sing? Can you carry a tune?
If you answered “Yes” to these questions… WE NEED YOU!!
Our Music Ministry is always ‘on the lookout’ for Cantors… But we especially need someone for our 5 pm Saturday Evening Mass.
If no one ‘steps-up’ we may have to return to a “quiet” Mass (which isn’t really bad… just music is better)

Jubilee and Holy Doors
Jubilee
One of our OCIA members asked… What is a Jubilee Year? and What’s this about Holy Doors?
I’ve found that usually… if one person has a question, there are generally others who have the same question (sometimes they don’t even know it… but once they hear the question… they have it also). So I thought I’d try to explain (don’t be upset if I don’t do well)…
A jubilee is a special year of remission of sins, debts and universal pardon. In Leviticus, a jubilee year is mentioned to occur every 50th year; during which slaves and prisoners would be freed, debts would be forgiven and the mercies of God would be particularly manifest. It was a time of joy, the year of remission or universal pardon.
In Western Christianity, the tradition dates to 1300, when Pope Boniface VIII convoked a holy year, following which they have generally been celebrated every 25 or 50 years. Catholic jubilees generally involve a pilgrimage to a sacred site, normally in the city of Rome.
In Roman Catholic tradition, a jubilee or Holy Year is a year of forgiveness of sins and the punishment due to sin. It is a year of reconciliation between adversaries, of conversion and receiving the Sacrament of Reconciliation… and of solidarity, hope, justice, commitment to serve God with joy and peace with our brothers and sisters".
Holy Doors
Opening and closing of the Holy Doors of the four major papal basilicas in Rome (St Peter’s Basilica in the Vatican, St John Lateran Basilica, Basilica of Saint Mary Major, and the Basilica of Saint Paul Outside the Walls) signal the beginning and end of the jubilee. This jubilee year began on 24 December 2024 with Pope Francis knocking on the Holy Door of St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican from his wheelchair. The door was swung open and Francis rolled through the doorway as the basilica's Christmas Eve Mass began. During this year, the Faithful may obtain a Plenary Indulgence.
Plenary Indulgence: A plenary indulgence is a special grace that completely removes the temporal punishment for sins already forgiven, cleansing the soul as if the person had just been baptized. (People who are unable to leave their home due to illness or other reason can gain this plenary indulgence by spiritually joining themselves to the anniversary celebrations and offering their sufferings to God.)
With regards to the Plenary Indulgences during the Jubilee Year, the Apostolic Penitentiary has issued a decree on May 13, 2024 that states regarding pilgrimages: “The faithful, pilgrims of hope, will be able to obtain the Jubilee Indulgence granted by the Holy Father if they undertake a pious pilgrimage… by visiting the Cathedral or other church or sacred place designated by the local Ordinary.”
In honor of the anniversary of the Diocese of San Antonio and the Jubilee Year, Catholics can receive a Plenary Indulgence from August 28, 2024 – January 6, 2026 by completing the following conditions.
Visit at least one of the 23 pilgrimage sites in the Archdiocese of San Antonio
Celebrate Sacramental Confession
Receive Holy Communion
Pray for the Pope’s intentions with one Our Father, Hail Mary, and Glory Be
Perform works of mercy (e.g. visiting the sick or imprisoned; helping the disabled)
Be free from all attachment to sin.
Next Week - A list of the Archdiocesan Pilgrimage Sites and more on Indulgences. Till then… God Bless - DT

A “BLAST From the Past” - the Miraculous Medal
One of our Parishioners brought me a copy of a “Deacon’s Corner” from 11 years ago!!! (Thanks Melba)
I thought it might be a good time to refresh some memories… just in case you forgot… lol~!
I know many of you are aware of this devotion… I’ve seen a number of parishioners wearing the Miraculous Medal… but I also know that many parishioners, while they may have heard the title, ‘Miraculous Medal’, don’t really know what it is or represents. Likewise, some may wear the medal simply as jewelry and don’t understand its significance. So, I thought I’d take a minute or two today and share its background.
The Miraculous Medal goes back to July of 1830; and to Paris, France. A young religious, Catherine, (now Saint), Labouré of the Daughters of Charity of St. Vincent de Paul, was awakened on the night of July 18th by the voice of a child calling her to the sisters’ chapel (located in the Rue du Bac, Paris). She went to the chapel and heard the Blessed Virgin Mary say to her, “God wishes to charge you with a mission. You will be contradicted, but do not fear; you will have the grace to do what is necessary. Tell your spiritual director all that passes within you. Times are evil in France and in the world.”
On November 27th the Blessed Mother returned. She displayed herself to Catherine inside an oval frame, standing upon a globe wearing rings of many colors. Around the margin of the frame the words “O Mary, Conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee” appeared. As she (Catherine) watched, the frame rotated showing a circle of 12 stars, a large letter ‘M’ surmounted by a cross with a crossbar beneath it. Under all was an image of the Sacred Heart of Jesus – crowned with thorns, and an image of the Immaculate Heart of Mary – pierced with a sword (as prophesied by Simeon).
Her fingers each had three rings and the largest stones emitted the most brilliant rays over the globe. Catherine noticed that some of the gems did not give off rays. When asked, Our Lady explained that the rays were symbols of the graces which would be bestowed on all who asked for them… those with no rays symbolized those graces for which people forget to ask.
A command was given to have a medal struck after the model revealed, and a promise of great graces was made to those who wear it when blessed. After 2 years of careful investigation, and with the approval of the Archbishop of Paris, the first medals were struck in June of 1832. The devotion spread rapidly.
There are literally hundreds – if not thousands - of divine intervention/assistance associated with the wearing of this medal. Miracles of conversion… miracles of healing… miracles of protections… and more! Too many to list here. I invite you to Google ‘miraculous medal miracles’ to see some of them for yourself. So… pray to our Holy Mother… ask for her intercession… But remember… the Miraculous Medal itself is not magical… it’s nothing more than a piece of metal. What holds the power is what / who it represents. Light up those rings / graces that up to now have been unused (those graces for which people forget to ask)! ’till next time… God Bless- DT
