Remembering Cecilia Garcia
On Sunday, September 6th our beloved Cecilia Garcia was called by our Lord, for she was needed in heaven.
Cecilia became the Pastoral Assistant in 2012 and was
loved by many. Her beautiful spirit brought joy to many of our parishioners and even residences in the heights. She
was so giving and would work all day and even all night to make sure everything at our parish was great!
SHE LOVED HER JOB!
Though we feel she was taken too soon, we all must remember that our Lord had something special planned for
our beloved Cecilia and has been prepping her for this moment.
We ask that you please continue to pray for Cecilia’s Family; to give them the strength they need to move
forward.
The All Saints Family will never forget her and we know her spirit will always be with us. We love you Cecilia and
we will always remember you!

Pastor’s Chronicle
To win a game, you have to know the rules. In golf, the person with the highest score is not the winner. In pool, no matter how successfully or skillfully it is done, nothing is gained by hitting the cue ball into a pock-et. Now this need to know the rules applies equally to Christian discipleship in life, and seems to be the point of today’s gospel passage in which Jesus speaks of his own suffering and death and of the demands of disci-pleship. [Mk 8: 27-35] Peter tries to take him aside and protest Jesus talking like that. Peter misread the rules. He thought the Messiah would come and be a political power and Jesus corrects him and says messiahship means obedience to the will of God---even to the wood of the cross. Spiritual writers help us understand the rules of discipleship using the image of two ways, the “way of the Lord,” and “way of the world.” The “way of the world” tells us that we should look out for only ourselves (Number One) for that is the surest path to success. Climbing the ladder at any cost advancing in the company by stepping on those around us, or getting ahead in school by cheating or stealing some else’s answers or work. That is not the path of Christian discipleship! Indeed such success is like having the highest score in the game of golf. The “way of the Lord,” is more positive, and helps us to rediscover the meaning of Jesus’ words. A helpful tool is to think about ways you already are acting in a self-denying role. In your role as parent you give up a night’s sleep to nurse a sick child. Or as a teenager you give up a Sunday afternoon football on t.v. to visit an aging grandparent. In both these roles of parent and young person one is acting unselfishly, one is emptying themselves to fill the need of another person. Making another Number One is a key rule of disci-pleship. And that is the acid test of Christian discipleship: not pious words, but heartfelt deeds, not winning at any cost, but succeeding in bringing to all people the transforming love of Jesus Christ. Now that is a win-ning game plan!
Fr. Bill Crónica del Pastor Para ganar un juego, tienes que saber las normas. En el golfo, la persona con el más alto resultado no es el ganador. En el billar, no importa que tan exitoso o capacitado esta hecho, nada se gana por pegarle a la bola blanca que entre al bol-sillo. Ahora esta necesidad de saber las normas se aplica igualmente a los discípulos cristianos en sus vidas, y parece ser el punto principal del evangelio de hoy en el cual Jesús habla de su propio sufrimiento y muerte y de los requisitos del discipulado (Marco 8: 27 – 35). Pedro trata de tomarlo al lado y se queja de que Jesús hable de esa manera. Pedro mal entendió las normas. Él pensó que el Mesías vendrá y sería un poder político y Jesús le corrige y dice que el ser Mesías significa la obediencia a la voluntad de DIOS—aun el llegar a la Cruz. Autores espirituales nos ayudan a entender las normas del discipulado utilizando la imagen de dos maneras, “el Camino del Señor,” y “el camino del mundo.” El “camino del mundo” nos dice que debemos cuidarnos solo a nosotros mismos (Numero Uno) para asegurar-nos el camino al éxito. Subiendo la escalera a cualquier costo, avanzando en la compañía por medio de pisotear a los de alrededor de nosotros, o adelantándose en la escuela por medio de hacer trampa o robar las ideas de trabajo de alguien más. ¡Eso no es el camino del discipulado cristiano! Es más, tal éxito es como tener el más alto resultado en el juego de golfo. El “Camino del Señor” es más positivo, y nos ayuda a redescubrir el significado de las palabras de Jesús. Una herramienta útil es pensar sobre las maneras que ya estamos comportándonos de manera abnegada. En su papel como padre de familia usted se niega el dormir toda la noche para cuidar su niño enfermo. O como adolescente deja un juego de futbol por la tarde del domingo para visitar a un abuelo. En ambos, estos papeles de padre de familia o como un jo-ven, uno está comportándose generosamente, uno se vacía a sí mismo para llenar las necesidades de otra persona. Ha-ciendo a otro Numero Uno es la clave principal de la norma del discipulado. Y eso es la prueba verdadera del discipulado cristiano: no palabras piadosas, pero hechos del corazón, no ga-nando a cualquier costo, pero teniendo éxito al traer a todas las personas al transformativo amor de Jesucristo. ¡Y eso es un plan de juego muy ganador! Padre Bill
