This Week We Pray For Carolyn Irby. Donna Helgeson, Tammy Selvitella, Luis Tacket, Stephanie González, Paul Maxwell, Gary Dupre, Doug Simmons, Del Holzer, Vicki Mori Caram, Marcos Ramos, Addison Lavender, Marlena Rincon, Becky & Jason Rasor, Jerry Carver, Lorena Zulet Ibarra, Mary Smith, Manuel Garza, Kally Felts, Jeffrey Luna, Mike Perry, Renee Ruiz, Raymond Nowicki, Lauren Garner, Joan Greer, Cynthia Bosquez, Mary Wolf, David Matassa, Jill Pingle, Felix Cruz, Shaun Sierra, Steve Keene, Carol DeBacker, Jackie Nowicki, and Geri Nowicki. Bless us all, O Lord, we pray, for loved ones, here and near, and far away. And everyone for whom we pray. Keep us safe each night and day, the homeless who have no place to stay. Those who are suffering in any way. The dying, those mourning or grieving and all who need God's mercy. Keep us safe, Heavenly Father, when we are at home, or travelling on our way, or when we are vulnerable, or in danger in any way. Most merciful Father, hear us as we pray for the souls in Purgatory, or who may be sent there some day.

The Pastors Corner There are two leading thoughts that come to the mind of any true believer on hearing today’s parable: the infinite goodness, patience and mercy of God in his dealings with mankind, and the unsounded depths of wickedness and ingratitude to which men can sink. To his Chosen People of the Old Testament God had given a fertile and fully-equipped vineyard: his revelation, his protection, a homeland of their own in Canaan, and all this in order to prepare them for the future Messiah, who would bring them an eternal home in God’s own kingdom. All he asked in return was their co-operation. But they had other plans; they wanted their kingdom on earth. Yet God was patient with them; again and again he pardoned their infidelities. He sent them prophet after prophet to recall them to their senses, but they maltreated these messengers of God and refused to heed their warnings. We Christians today are the successors of the first Gentile followers of Christ. We too have been called to work in God’s vineyard. Are we working honestly and devotedly? Are we producing the grapes and the wine that our divine Master expects of us? If our answer is “yes, I am living a true Christian life, I am working for God’s honor and glory and for my own eternal salvation,” Then we can say a heartfelt “thank you” to our merciful Father, and ask him to keep us ever on this right path. But if our answer is “no,” then let us pay heed to today’s lesson. What happened to the chief priests and elders can and will happen to unfaithful Christians if they persevere in their infidelity and disobedience. But we can still put ourselves right with God. Let us do it today; tomorrow may be too late. Hay dos pensamientos importantes que vienen a la mente de cualquier verdadero creyente al escuchar la parábola de hoy: la bondad infinita, la paciencia y la misericordia de Dios en su trato con la humanidad, y las profundidades insondables de la maldad y la ingratitud en las que los hombres pueden hundirse. A su Pueblo Elegido del Antiguo Testamento Dios le había dado una viña fértil y totalmente equipada: su revelación, su protección, una patria propia en Canaán, y todo esto para prepararlos para el futuro Mesías, que los traería. un hogar eterno en el propio reino de Dios. Todo lo que pidió a cambio fue su cooperación. Pero tenían otro plan; querían su reino en la tierra. Sin embargo, Dios fue paciente con ellos; una y otra vez perdonó sus infidelidades. Les envió profeta tras profeta para hacerlos volver a sus sentidos, pero maltrataron a estos mensajeros de Dios y se negaron a escuchar sus advertencias. Los cristianos de hoy somos los sucesores de los primeros seguidores gentiles de Cristo. Nosotros también hemos sido llamados a trabajar en la viña de Dios. ¿Estamos trabajando con honestidad y devoción? ¿Estamos produciendo las uvas y el vino que nuestro divino Maestro espera de nosotros? Si nuestra respuesta es "sí, estoy viviendo una verdadera vida cristiana, estoy trabajando por el honor y la gloria de Dios y por mi propia salvación eterna", entonces podemos decirle un más sincero "gracias" a nuestro Padre misericordioso y pedirle que mantennos siempre en este camino correcto. Pero si nuestra respuesta es "no", prestemos atención a la lección de hoy. Lo que les sucedió a los principales sacerdotes y a los ancianos puede suceder y les sucederá a los cristianos infieles si perseveran en su infidelidad y desobediencia. Pero todavía podemos arreglarnos con Dios. hagámoslo hoy; mañana puede ser demasiado tarde.

2020 Census As the 2020 Census enters its final stages, it is important that every Catholic be counted. Being counted matters for you and our community regardless of your religious affiliation. The 2020 Census will determine how many representatives Texas will have in Congress. Census results will also help determine how billions of dollars in federal funding are allocated to states and communities each year for housing, schools, food assistance, health care, and other vital services. You still may complete and return the census form mailed to you. Or if you have not received the census form, you may go to my2020census.gov. Select the link that says, "If you do not have a Census ID, click here." It is located below the Census ID login field.

Welcome We want to extend a warm welcome to our new parishioners
