Un Mensaje del Padre Noel
(Mensaje dicho el día de la Cena de Apreciación, junio 14 de 2013)
¡Buenas tardes y bienvenidos a nuestra Cena y Baile de Apreciación
anual! Les aseguro que esta no es una homilía, y mucho menos un sermón,
pero simplemente un mensaje de esta ocasión.
Hay tres razones por la cual estamos reunidos aquí. Primordialmente
esta es la continuación de nuestra celebración de la Solemnidad del Sagrado
Corazon, la fiesta patronal de nuestra parroquia, o de donde surgió el nombre
de nuestra parroquia. Segundo, tomamos en cuenta los esfuerzos de las
personas de nuestros parroquianos que participan en diferentes ministerios,
que hacen que nuestra parroquia sobre salga como es hoy. Por eso
nombramos a este evento Cena y Baile de Apreciación. Tercero, queremos
hacer esta comunidad parroquial, una comunidad con unidad sin las
diferencias culturales.
Esta tarde déjenme enfatizar la tercera razón de nuestra reunión. Esto
puede ser mejor expresado con una pregunta: ¿Cómo podemos hacer la
Iglesia del Sagrado Corazon una, con la diversidad de culturas? Oh! ¿Cómo
podemos hacer la Iglesia del Sagrado Corazon una parroquia multicultural?
Me gustaría contestar esta pregunta directamente – es NUESTRA FE EN
CRISTO.
La Fe en Cristo es lo que nos une. A pesar de nuestras diferencias
culturales, creer en Cristo Jesús nos hace uno. Los primeros Cristianos, eran
como nosotros; vinieron de etnicidades diversas y orientaciones culturales;
algunos eran Judíos, Griegos Y Gentiles, pero su creencia en Cristo Jesús era
la fuente de su unidad. Con esto les digo que si eres Anglo-Americano,
Hispano, Asiatico o Africano, somos uno, primeramente creemos en Cristo
Jesús. La fe en Cristo nos une.
La fe en Cristo no es suficiente. Tenemos que conocernos los unos a
los otros. Por algunos perjuicios culturales, nos retractamos de asociarnos los
unos con los otros. Yo pienso esto es el obstáculo a la unidad, aunque
tengamos la misma fe.
El Cardenal Leo Suenens, un teólogo Belga reconocido y uno de los
principales arquitectos del Concilio Vaticano Segundo dijo alguna vez: “Para
unirnos, primero tenemos que amarnos unos a otros; en amarnos unos a
otros, primero tenemos que conocernos unos a otros.”¡Lo que decía era
verdad! El conocernos unos a otros es el primer punto de unidad en nuestra
parroquia.
Al principio de cada Misa del Domingo, el cantor principal invita a
la congregación a saludarnos con las personas a nuestro alrededor. Este
simple saludo habla volúmenes de nuestro deseo de conocernos mejor, unos
a otros. Aristóteles, uno de los filósofos Griegos más grandes, dice “Nada es
querido si primero no es conocido”. De otra forma no podemos amar a esa
persona, solamente si la llegamos a conocer. Ahora, si amamos, sería más
fácil para nosotros unirnos unos a otros porque el amor abre el camino a la
unidad.
Resumiendo, fe en Cristo es lo que nos sostiene unidos esta tarde,
pero familiarizarnos los unos con los otros es una tarea, y un reto para todos.
Es mi deseo ferviente que la Cena y Baile de Apreciación nos unirá como
comunidad.

DO YOU WANT TO READ THE BIBLE, BUT
DON’T KNOW HOW TO BEGIN? - If you have
ever wanted to read the Bible, but did not know where
or how to begin, then The Bible Timeline Parish Study
is for you. The Bible Timeline makes reading the Bible
not only easy, but exciting. In this study, you will learn
the major people, places, events and themes of the
Bible—getting the “big picture” of salvation history.
Perhaps for the first time in your life, you will
understand the overview of the Bible story. This then
makes your Bible reading and even the Sunday Mass
readings come alive like never before.
The Bible Timeline will be offered at Madonna del
Sasso Parish in the Student Activity Center every
Thursday. Beginning at 6:30 pm, there will be a study/
workbook session. The video will
begin at 7:00 pm and from 8:00 to
8:30 pm there will be a short presentation and an
opportunity for questions. This
series will be presented by Fr. Greg
Sandman, Fr. Joey Buena and
Fr. Joshua Clifton. To learn more,

Faith Formation...
Reflecting on God’s Word
Everyone seems to have a “to do” list. They help us
remember things we need to do. They help us set priorities as
we pick and choose which things to attend to and which to let
go. We can tell what our priorities are if we look at which
items stay on the list for a long time. We keep finding endless
reasons why we can’t get to the most difficult tasks just yet.
Maybe later. Or maybe never.
Discipleship is one of those difficult tasks that some of us
just never get around to doing. Like Elisha, or the people
Jesus speaks with in the Gospel, we are always tempted to do
something else first—get a decent job, buy a house, get in
shape, find a mate, raise our children, retire. But, also like
Elisha, we are called not to delay and not to look back. Jesus
tells us to delete everything else from our “to do” lists and
write just one thing: “Go and proclaim the kingdom of God.”

HELP THE WOMEN ON OUR STREET—There are
women in this town that need your help. They wait outside
Dorothy's Place every night until our Women Alive! Emergency
Shelter opens at 7:00 pm
because they have no other
place to go. More than you
would expect are seniors.
All are without a family to
support them. Each woman
drags her belongings and a
cot out of our shed to set up
her bed, her 'home', every
evening. Every morning at
6, she tears it back down
again and stuffs it back into
the shed. By 6:30, she's back on the street, and her 'home' reopens
as our Dayroom. Some of our ladies are exceptionally challenged
with physical and mental disabilities. This year, we added one
extra shelter aide to stay overnight, for safety. It was a good
decision. If you had to create your home every night, and tear it
apart every morning, would you start the day feeling secure? Able
to face your challenges? Probably not. That's why we need to do
better. And sooner, not later. We need money for more
well-trained staff. And we need a facility where a woman can get
a start on recreating her life, without having to recreate her
bedroom every night. Instead of going to a lot of expense to create
a fundraising event like we did last year, we'd like to ask people
like you to invest what they can now in the lives of these
women. Our goal is to raise $20,000 by June 30. And you don't
need to dress up fancy, find a babysitter or listen to long-winded
speeches about how much our ladies need your help. We think
you already know that. We're asking you to make an investment
(give money) AND to ask a couple friends to do the same. Truth
be known, if everyone asked all their friends to get online and just
donate what they could, our needs for more well-trained staff and
a new facility for our emergency shelter would probably be filled.
Listen to your creative voice - make it fun! Organize a
fundraising dinner party. Ask friends to sponsor your
participation in a sporting event. Issue a matching gift challenge
on Facebook. Go to Facebook now! You can make a recurring
monthly or quarterly donation by indicating your preference in

handmade garden stepping stone with your choice of message,
created by our ladies in Women Alive! Please help us. We ask
this on behalf of the ladies you see here, and 188 other women
we served last year. We ask because we not only want them to
have a safe night's sleep, we want to provide better opportunities
to improve their lives. We promise to spend your investment
wisely, in the Women Alive! program, knowing that we are
simply stewards of your intentions to serve the most
disenfranchised people in our community. We're happy to
receive your check, or if you prefer to donate online with a credit
