TWENTY- SECOND SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
Prayer to St. Augustine
Dear visitors and parishioners
Sunday August 28 is the 22nd Sunday in
Ordinary time with the challenging Gospel about
humility. The memorial of St Augustine of Hippo
(North Africa) is usually on this day in the Church
calendar.
St. Augustine was a tumultuous youth and was
converted to Christianity at age 33 through the
prayers of his mother, St. Monica,
and the teaching of St Ambrose of Milan. Augustine
became Bishop of Hippo and was one of the
greatest Fathers of the Church. His humility and
love of prayer shows in his writings, especially his
book, Confessions. He said one time “what
breathing is to the body, prayer is to the soul.”
St. Monica, his mother and the patron saint of
mothers, prayed for his conversion for 28 years.
She had a great influence on other people too: with
her prayers and humble example, her pagan
husband and her cantankerous mother-in-law
became Christians.
This is a good weekend to ask God who we
should pray for and how to deepen our prayer with
Scripture and self-denial. Who knows who God will
work on using our prayers????
Fr. Galvon

Feast day, August 28
O holy Saint Augustine, who has famously
declared that “Our hearts were made for
you, O Lord, and they are restless until
they rest in you”, aid me in my own search
for our Lord that through your intercession
I may be granted the wisdom to determine
the purpose God has planned for me. Pray
that I be blessed with the courage to follow
God’s will even at times when I do not
understand. Ask our Lord to lead me to a
life worthy of His love, that I may one day
share the riches of His kingdom. Petition
our Lord and Savior to ease the burden of
my problems and grant my special
intention, and I will honor you all of my
days.
St. Augustine, pray for us.

What's wrong with Assisted Suicide
Many citizens legitimately ask, “What’s wrong with
assisted suicide?” If this is purely a private matter,
then the only people who can be harmed are those
who request it. Assisted suicide is not purely a
private matter. It affects huge vulnerable populations
who will experience new pressures and financial
incentives to die. Fr. Spitzer will discuss why
assisted-suicide is a fundamental justice issue –
giving freedoms to one group that impose onerous
burdens to die on other groups – the vulnerable,
disabled, and the economically and socially
marginalized. Friday, Sept. 2, from 7-9 pm at the
John Paul II Pastoral Centre. To register, visit

Communion:
Imagen del Banquete
No sólo existen ídolos del dinero y del poder, hay otro ídolo,
tan dañino como los mencionados, y es el afán de honores,
cuya expresión más plástica nos la ofrece la imagen del
banquete, con su presidencia, sus lugares de honor, sus
últimos puestos, los discursos rimbombantes y sus criados.
Inversión de puestos
``Los primeros serán los últimos y los últimos los primeros ´´.
Generalmente fijamos nuestra atención en S.S. el Papa
Francisco como quien disfruta de fama y honores, pocas
veces nos ponemos a considerar su inmenso sacrificio
originado por atender con misericordia y constantemente a
la Iglesia. He aquí un claro ejemplo en donde se manifiesta
que el Papa, siendo el primero, piensa en sí mismo al último.
La Palabra en tu vida
``Quien no nació para servir no sirve para vivir ´´. Pero . . . el
como servimos es muy importante. ¿ Servimos
Cristologicamente ? Es decir; considerando a Cristo el centro
y objetivo de nuestro servicio. Solamente de esta manera
nuestro servicio será digno de santificar a los demás y a
nosotros mismos. Señor Jesús, ayúdanos a aprender a
servirte con humildad, santidad y sinceridad.
Como llegar a Deep Cove
Reiteramos la invitación al paseo a Deep Cove el Sábado 17
de Septiembre del medio día a las 5 ó 6 de la tarde.
Esperemos en Dios un buen día y buena asistencia. El paseo
es de `` traje ´´.
Para quienes viven en el centro ( downtown ) y quienes
necesitan tomar transporte les informo que la parada del
camión 210 es en Burrard St. frente a la parada del skytrain
del mismo nombre, BAY 2 ( atención hay que cruzar la calle
). Para llegar al paseo cerca del medio día habría que tomar
el camión que pasa a las 11:23 o el de las 11:53 a.m. Dicho
camión llegará a un ``loop´´, central, en donde se debe
cambiar al camión número 212 que le llevará a su destino
final. El paseo se realizará en el area verde frente al agua.

Stewardship reflection for this week
What identifies a steward? Safeguarding material and
human resources and using them responsibly are one
answer; so is generous giving of time, talent, and
treasure. But being a Christian steward means more. As
Christian stewards, we receive God’s gifts gratefully,
cultivate them responsibly, share them lovingly in justice
with others, and return them with increase to the Lord.
“As each one has received a gift, use it to serve one
another as good stewards of God’s varied grace” (1 Pt
4:10).
World Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation – Sep 1
In 2015, Pope Francis initiated the World Day of Prayer
for the Care of Creation on September 1 of each year.
The Day of Prayer for Creation, says Pope Francis, is
"an opportunity to reaffirm our personal vocation to be
stewards of creation, to thank God for the wonderful
handiwork which he has entrusted to our care, and to
implore his help for the protection of creation as well as
his pardon for the sins committed against the world in
which we live." Visit rcav.org/laudato-si to learn more
