Thirteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time
LIVE THE LITURGY : Inspiration for the Week

The flesh is our old self of yesterday and the one we left behind in baptism. It is the self of doubts and fears, sin and error, reluctance, untamed passion, and errors in judgment. It is also the self of missed opportunities and roads untraveled. Although we were baptized many years ago, every day is another day to live, not according to the flesh of yesterday with its regrets and misgivings, but rather to live the life of the spirit of today and tomorrow. The burdens of our personal baggage and of life itself can weigh us down. The love of Jesus Christ and the life of the spirit can pick us up, refresh us, and provide us with the hope for new opportunities and discoveries. Because we have been baptized in Christ, we need not be anxious about what we did or did not do yesterday or anxious about what will come tomorrow. We need only to seek out the love that is before us, around us, and in us and learn.

FAMILY LIFE RESOURCES
Many parents often wonder what to teach their children about their bodies, but don’t know how and when it is appropriate.  The Diocese of San José fosters healthy relationships through awareness and interpersonal safety education for our children via the VIRTUS Catholic Safe Environment Curriculum, as well as safety training and background screening for all adults who minister or provide services to our children. We encourage parents to explore additional resources to help empower themselves and their children through open and honest family communications. The Center for Innovation and Resources is hosting a free parent-training with Monica Borunda, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, adjunct faculty at CSU Los Angeles, and a Child Forensic Interview Specialist and Trainer. The training will focus on easing parental comfort with the topic and provide guidance on some of the ways parents can help educate their children about their bodies, boundaries, and how to keep them safe from child sexual abuse.

State Fund to Help Parents Buy Food for Children:
Registration ends June 30, 2020

Evidence based research highlights that helping to reduce parental stress helps to reduce stress in children, which further alleviates potential triggers that may otherwise result in childhood trauma. During the Shelter-At-Home mandate, it is important to recognize that school closures forced some families to face additional challenges feeding their children. Lack of access to nutritional resources only exasperates parent stress and the potential for increased childhood trauma. Through a special EBT benefits program, parents may be able to qualify for additional help when it comes to feeding their children during the Coronavirus pandemic. Through this service, families may receive funding to support children’s nutritional needs, which in turn supports a child’s emotional well-being. Any student that qualified for free or reduced-price meals at school can receive these P-EBT benefits.
