¡Faltan 87 días para que llegue el Papa a los Estados Unidos
F ollowing the theme of "struggle" that constantly arises in this year's Cycle B reading series, the struggle in this weekend's readings is the very human discomfort in facing death. The first reading tells us that God didn't make us for death but for eternal life simply because God is "just" (which in biblical wisdom literature is a synonym for "faithful,") and if God is eternal, then God is eternally "faithful," and so we are made to be in relationship with Him eternally. The author goes on to blame death on the wicked, who, instead of acting in accord with justice, live unjustly and so, prefer "finitude" and what they can "get and amass" here, instead of wanting eternity with God. Hmmm. Maybe God will find a way to be "faithful" even to them! We can dare to have that hope as we look at the Gospel where we see two close "brushes with death," and how Jesus (God) brings life out of death-dealing situations. In the second reading, Paul, in "good Catholic form," is writing about a "collection of money" for the poor and starving in Jerusalem...another way of "staving off death" is to provide the hungry with food. All these readings assure us that God is guiding us to eternity--death is not something to fear--and that we have in our power to make life, on this side of death, so much more bearable for so many if we could only find it in our hearts to be more generous. - Fr. Bill Axe Las lecturas de este fin de semana nos hablan sobre nuestra lucha cuando nos enfrentamos con la muerte. Las primera lectura nos dice que Dios no nos creó para la muerte si no para la vida eterna, puesto que Dios es justo, que significa fiel. Entonces, si Dios es eterno, y si Dios es fiel eternamente, por lo tanto, somos creados para tener una relación con Dios eternamente. El autor después nos comparte que los malvados son quienes prefieren la muerte sobre la vida eterna con Dios, puesto que viven haciendo obras injustas. ¡A lo mejor Dios encontrará una manera de cómo ser fiel con ellos! Podemos decir esto de acuerdo al Evangelio que nos dice cómo Jesús trajo vida de la muerte. En la segunda lectura, Pablo nos escriba sobre una “colecta de dinero” para la gente pobre que sufre de hambre en Jerusalén… Ésta es una manera de cómo luchar la muerte, de proveer comida a quienes sufren de hambre. Todas estas lecturas nos aseguran que Dios nos está guiando hacia la eternidad… la muerte no es algo a que temerle– tenemos en nuestro poder en cómo crear la vida, en esta parte de la muerte. Por lo tanto, puede ser mucho más soportable si llegamos a ser más generosos en nuestros corazones. - Padre Bill Axe Countdown to Pope Francis arrival to the US: 87 days! ¡Faltan 87 días para que llegue el Papa a los Estados Unidos! -Alfio Mazzei -Allie Smith -Alicia Jimenez Bravo -Anabel Manriquez -Andres Luna -Archie Brown II -Arlasha Allen -Barbara Harvey -Barbara Viramontes -Bertha Antee -Carlos Antonio Vasquez -Charley Johnson -Christina Paul -Constantino Perez -Damacio Horta -Darwin Varela -Dulce Maria E.

We melt into another world, a realm of power already within us. The world changes when we change. The world softens when we soften. The world loves us when we choose to love the world." - Marianne Williamson in A Return to Love To build and foster a Christian Community that offers the opportunity to experience God’s unconditional love and acceptance to all who come into contact with it. W e are so blessed to have a God who loves us so much that he came upon this earth to steer us straight. There were so many laws about impurity and untouchables that many people were excluded from society. We hear in today's readings how Christ changed all of that. No one was unclean or untouchable, Christ used his power to heal and transform lives. It seems like we have lost that image of God in our society. Shouldn't we be transforming lives instead of condemning? Who do you know in your circle of friends who feels unwelcome? Can you reach out to that person and be Christ to them? Be Jesus to them!! I will be out of the Parish for around six weeks starting on Monday as I am having foot surgery. I won't be able to stand on my foot for six weeks. You will all be in my thoughts and prayers as I am healing. Please keep me in yours as well. Have a blessed week, Sr. Karen Collier SAVE THE DATE: Construyendo y alimentando una comunidad cristiana que ofrezca la oportunidad de experimentar el amor incondicional de Dios y la aceptación a todos con quienes nos encontremos. S omos sumamente bendecidos de tener a un Dios que vino al mundo para ponernos en buen camino. Habían muchas leyes sobre seres impuros e intocables que excluían a mucha gente. Escuchamos el día de hoy cómo Jesús cambió todo esto. Nadie era impuro ni intocable, Jesús usó su poder para sanar y transformar vidas. Parece que hemos perdido esa imagen de Dios en nuestra sociedad. ¿A poco no deberíamos de transformar vidas y no de condenarlas ni menospreciarlas? ¿Conoces a alguien entre tus amigos que no se sienta bienvenido? ¿Podrías ser como Cristo y hacerle que se siente bienvenido? ¡Sean Jesús con ellos! El lunes tendré una cirugía en mi pie y tendré que estar fuera de la parroquia por 6 semanas, puesto que no podré estar de pie y tendré que descansar lo más que se pueda. Ustedes estarán en mis pensamientos y oraciones mientras me recupero. Por favor de recordarme en las suyas también.

The regular Parish revenue from collections, contributions, rent from school & hall and the various fund raisers do not provide sufficient money to pay for all the costs to operate the parish. Consequently, we are very happy with the impressive financial contribution of the Festival towards meeting Parish expenses. Congratulations and a hearty THANK YOU to all who contributed their talent, time, energy and money to achieve the good results! May God bless you! Con alegría reportamos que nuestro Festival obtuvo más ingresos que gastos, con un neto total de $38,132.38. El ingreso regular de la Parroquia que viene de la colecta, donaciones, renta de la escuela y del salón parroquial, o los demás eventos para recaudar fondos no obtienen el dinero suficiente para las operaciones de la Iglesia. Por lo tanto, estamos muy felices por la contribución financiera del festival hacia los gastos de la Parroquia. Felicidades y mil GRACIAS a todos quienes contribuyeron con sus talentos, tiempo, energía y con su dinero para alcanzar estos resultados! ¡Que Dios los bendiga! We will provide a more detailed annual financial report in August or September. En agosto o en septiembre tendremos un reporte financiero más detallado del año fiscal.
