From Our Pastor...
Our First Reading today gives us a glimpse of the “vocation story” of the prophet Amos.
The priest Amaziah was not very interested in having this prophet around; he told Amos
to go earn his bread elsewhere. Amos uses this opportunity to testify to the Lord’s call in
his life.
Amos did not take up prophecy as a professional job or a hobby; rather, the Lord called
him from his normal life to speak the word of God to Israel. Amos was only being
obedient to the Lord who called him.
Likewise, the Apostles whom Jesus sends out two by two in the Gospel did not set themselves up as
representatives of Jesus. They became representatives of Jesus through a call, through the choice of
Jesus. These Twelve Apostles go forward in confidence because of the calling of Jesus. By trade, they
were fishermen, tax collectors, even political activists (Simon the Zealot).
None of these men set out in the morning to make themselves Apostles. But one day it happened: Jesus
came up to them and said “Follow me!” And they left everything and followed Him. There was
something about Jesus that convinced them, that persuaded them that it was worth it leave everything
behind for Him.
Even during Jesus’ life, many people had their first encounter with Jesus, not by meeting Jesus but by
meeting His representative. We can imagine the way these Apostles spoke about the man who had
changed their life. Something in the witness, the representative, made people want to meet the Master.
And this has continued throughout the history of the Church. Jesus is known to us because someone has
been a convincing witness, someone spoke to us after having been changed by Christ. And we believed
them!
The call to discipleship and the work of promoting vocations happens in the same way. We lend our voice
to Christ, so that today people can here the call, “Follow me!” Do we know a young man who may have a
vocation to the priesthood? Have we ever told him? Do we know a young woman who shows signs of a
call to consecrate her life completely to the Lord? Have we ever told her?
I’d like to share a prayer with you this week, and ask you to share this prayer with a young person. It is a
great way to plant the seed of a vocation to the priesthood or consecrated life in the Church.
Lord Jesus, I believe that you have created me for a special mission. From the moment I was conceived in my
mother’s womb, you have been preparing my path to Heaven. Lord, show me your will for my life. Help me to
trust you, no matter the cost. Help me to believe that I will be happiest in doing your will. Give me the grace
to say yes to what you ask of me today, so that I can say yes to my vocation when it becomes clear to me. I
make this prayer through Christ our Lord, Amen.
In Christ,
Pastor

The Nicene Creed
I believe in one God, the Father almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all things visible and invisible.
I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Only Begotten Son of God, born of the Father before all ages.
God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father;
through him all things were made. For us men and for our salvation he came down from heaven, and by the Holy Spirit
was incarnate of the Virgin Mary, and became man. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate, he suffered
death and was buried, and rose again on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures. He ascended into heaven and is
seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead and his kingdom will
have no end. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son,
who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified, who has spoken through the prophets.
I believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church. I confess one Baptism for the forgiveness of sins
and I look forward to the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come. Amen.

How lovely is Your dwelling place, O Lord Almighty
For my soul longs and even faints for You;
For here my heart is satisfied within Your presence
I sing beneath the shadow of Your wings
Better is one day in Your courts, better is one day in Your house
Better is one day in Your courts, than thousands elsewhere
One thing I ask and I would seek: to see Your beauty
To find You in the place Your glory dwells.
One thing I ask and I would seek: to see Your beauty
To find You in the place Your glory dwells.

Beth and Matt Redman © 2005 Thankyou Music (Admin. by EMI Christian Music Publishing)
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
Your perfect love is casting out fear.
And even when I'm caught in the middle of the storms of this life,
I won't turn back I know You are near.
And I will fear no evil For my God is with me. And if my God is with me,
Whom then shall I fear, Whom then shall I fear?
Oh no You never let go through the calm and through the storm.
Oh no You never let go, in ev'ry high and ev'ry low.
Oh no You never let go, Lord You never let go of me.
And I can see a light that is coming for the heart that holds on.
A glorious light beyond all compare.
And there will be an end to these troubles, but until that day comes,
We'll live to know You here on the earth.

De Nuestro Párroco...
La primera lectura de hoy nos da un vistazo a la historia de la vocación del profeta Amos.
Al sacerdote Amaziah no le parecía bien tener a este profeta cerca; y le dijo a Amos que
fuera a ganarse el pan a otra parte. Amos utilizó esta oportunidad para dar testimonio
del llamado que Dios habia hecho en su vida.
Para Amos, el don de la pr0fecía no era un trabajo profesional o un pasatiempo; más
bien, el Señor lo llamó para que en su vida cotidiana hablara de Dios al pueblo de Israel.
Amos solo estaba siendo obediente al Senor que lo había llamado.
Asímismo, los apóstoles a quienes Jesús manda de dos en dos en el evangelio no se hacían pasar por
representantes de Jesús. Se conviertieron en representates de Jesús por medio de un llamado, por medio
de una decisión que Jesús tomó. Estos doce apóstoles siguen adelante con confianza porque Jesús les ha
llamado. De día eran pescadores, cobradores de impuestos, o hasta activistas políticos (Simon el zelote).
Ninguno de estos hombres se despertó una mañana y decidió hacerse apóstol. Pero un día sucedió: Jesús
vino y les dijo “¡Síganme!” Y ellos lo dejaron todo y se fueron con Él. Había algo especial en Jesús que los
convenció, los hizo ver que valía la pena dejarlo todo por Él.
Hasta en los tiempos de Jesús, mucha gente tuvo su primer encuentro con Él, no conociendo a Jesús en
persona, sino conociendo a uno de sus representantes. Habremos que imaginar la manera en la que los
apóstoles hablaban del hombre que hubiese cambiado sus vidas. Algo en el testimonio, el representante,
hizo a la gente querer conocer al Maestro.
Esto mismo ha continuado durante la historia de la Iglesia. Nosotros conocemos a Jesús porque alguien
ha sido un testigo convincente, porque alguien nos ha hablado después de haber sido cambiado por
Cristo. ¡Y le creímos!
El llamado al discipulado y la labor de promover las vocaciones suceden de la misma manera. Nosotros le
prestamos la voz a Cristo, para que hoy puedan haber personas que escuchen el “¡Síganme!” ¿Conocemos
a algún joven que pueda tener la vocación del sacerdocio? ¿Le hemos dicho? ¿Conocemos a alguna joven
que demuestre las características del llamado a la vida consagrada al Señor? ¿Le hemos dicho?
Quiero compartirles una oración esta semana, y pedirles que compartan esta oración con algún joven.
Esta es una excelente manera de sembrar la semilla de la vocación al sacerdocio o a la vida consagrada a la
Iglesia.
Señor Jesus, yo cre0 que Tú me has creado de forma especial para una misión en mi vida. Desde el momento
que yo empecé a formarme en el vientre de mi madre, Tú has preparado el camino para que yo llegue al Cielo.
Señor, enséñame y muéstrame cuál es tu voluntad para mi vida. Ayúdame a confiar en ti, no importa a qué
precio. Ayúdame a creer que seré más feliz al hacer tu voluntad. Dame la gracia de decir Si a lo que me tu me
pidas hoy, para poder así decir Si a mi vocación. Hago esta oración en el nombre de Jesucristo nuestro Señor,
Amen.
En Cristo,
Pastor
