Thoughts from the Pastor

Pensamientos Del Pastor

Stewardship Thought For The Week

Jesus said "Whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven."

How do we humble ourselves before the Lord? We try to become an imitation of our Lord Jesus Christ. He loved and forgave. He took off His robe and tied an apron around His waist to wash the feet of the Apostles. So when we love and serve each other we become humble for we see the face of Christ in each other. Open my eyes to your heart O Lord.... Be a good steward!! !

I am your humble servant,

Fr. Charles 'A. Mosley

In our reading from the Book of the Prophet Malachi we read: "But for you who fear my name, there will arise the sun of justice with its healing rays." And that sun of justice is the Son of God, Jesus Christ. As the Lord has shown us the Son of justice, we must open our hearts and embrace this justice. Is it hard, yes, but it is not impossible because God our Father has given us His Son which makes all things possible. Jesus gives us His Holy Spirit which fills us with the grace to do His will to seek justice for all.

Pensamiento del día sobre administración

Jesús dijo: "Quien se humildad como este niño es el más grande del reino de los cielos."

¿Cómo nos humillamos ante el Señor? Tratamos de llegar a ser una imitación de nuestro Señor Jesucristo. Amó y perdo-nó. Se quitó la túnica y ató un delantal alrededor de Su cintura para lavar los pies de los Apóstoles. Así que cuando nos amamos y nos servimos los unos a los otros, nos volve-mos humildes porque vemos el rostro de Cristo el uno en el tro. Abre mis ojos a tu corazón, oh Señor. Sea un buen administrador!

Soy tu humilde sirviente, P. Charles 'A. Mosley

It is time again to pick up. . . your 2020 church

contribution envelopes. They are available in the Gathering Area for pick up after mass. If you know someone who cannot pick up their envelopes please contact the Parish Office at 844-3438, X221, so we can make arrangements to get their envelopes to them. Envelopes in alphabetical order

for your convenience. ☺☺

Es hora de recoger de nuevo. . . sus sobres de contri-

bución de la iglesia de 2020. Están disponibles en el área de reunión para recoger después de la masa. Si cono-ce a alguien que no pueda recoger sus sobres, comuníque-se con la Oficina Parroquial al 844-3438, X221, para que podamos hacer los arreglos para llevarles sus sobres. So-bres en orden alfabético para su conveniencia. ☺

En nuestra lectura del Libro del Profeta Malaquías leemos: "Pero para ustedes que temen mi nombre, surgirá el sol de la justicia con sus rayos curativos." Y ese sol de justicia es el Hijo de Dios, Jesucristo. Como el Se-ñor nos ha mostrado el Hijo de la justicia, debemos abrir nuestro sella y abrazar esta justicia. Es difícil, sí, pero no es imposible porque Dios nuestro Padre nos ha dado a Su Hijo, lo que hace que todas las cosas sean posibles. Jesús nos da Su Espíritu Santo que nos llena de la gracia de hacer Su voluntad de buscar justicia para to-dos.

TITHING . . . is a declaration of your independence from the world's economic system and a declaration of your dependence on the economics of God. When we tithe, we are not being generous, we are simply obeying God. Therefore, for the Christian, tithing is not an option.

DIEZMO . . . El diezmo es una declaración de su independencia del sistema económico mundial y una declaración de su depen-dencia de la economía de Dios. Cuando valoramos, no estamos siendo generosos, simplemente estamos obedeciendo a Dios. Por lo tanto, para el cristiano, el diezmo no es una opción. Conviértase en un administrador con Dios.

LO QUE SE PREGUNTA SOBRE LA IGLESIA HOY

En esta Columna voy a responder preguntas sobre la Igle-sia o la parroquia; así que lo que quieras saber acerca de la Iglesia o la parroquia por favor, sólo tienes que preguntar. Además, a veces veremos los problemas que afectan a nuestra iglesia o a nuestros miembros. Esta se-mana comenzaré una serie sobre preguntas frecuentes sobre la Misa.

A veces nos acostumbramos tanto a hacer algo como ir a misa- que nunca llegamos a hacer preguntas que tenemos al respecto. Lo más probable es que tengas algunas preguntas sin respuesta sobre la Misa, o puedes conocer a alguien que tiene preguntas. Aquí echamos un vistazo más de cerca a algunas de las preguntas que muchas personas tienen sobre la Misa. ¿Que es el CREDO y por qué hay dos CREDOS, el NICENO y el CREDO DE LOS APOSTOLES?

El Credo es una declaración de lo que creemos como católicos. Es una declaración de la Trinidad y la enseñanza básica de la Iglesia. Uno no puede ser católi-co sin creer en las palabras del Credo. Tenemos dos Credos porque el Credo de los Apóstoles es el Credo inicial, simplemente dice lo que creemos, a Dios Padre, Dios Hijo, y Dios el Espíritu Santo... la Trinidad. El Credo de Nicea hace lo mismo, pero con mayor d detalle, ya que llegamos a una mayor comprensión de la Trinidad y de la enseñanza de la Iglesia. Había una mayor necesidad de aclarar lo que creemos como católicos. ¿Porque nos paramos después de la homilía para el CREDO?

Nos levantamos para proclamar públicamente lo que cree-mos. Profesamos que creemos en Dios, en Jesús, en el Espíritu Santo, en la Iglesia Católica, en la Comunión de los Santos, en el perdón de los pecados y en la vida des-pués de la muerte. El Credo es ante todo una oración, no simplemente un juramento de membresía, que profesa el amor creativo y salvador de Dios y cómo esto ha sido revelado, experimentado y conocido en la historia. Esta es una oportunidad para volver a comprometernos con nues-tra fe.

WHAT ARE THEY ASKING ABOUT THE CHURCH TODAY

n this Column I will answer questions about the Church or the parish; so whatever you want to know about the Church or the parish Please just ask. In addition we will sometimes look at Issues that affect our church or our members This week I will start a series on frequently asked questions about the Mass.

Sometimes we get so accustomed to doing something like going to Mass that we never get around to asking questions we have about it Chances are you have a few unanswered questions about the Mass, or you may know someone who has question Here we take a closer look at some of the things many people ask about the Mass.

WHAT IS THE CREED AND WHY ARE THERE TWO CREEDS

THE NICENE CREED AND THE APOSTLE'S CREED?

The Creed is a statement of what we believe as Catholics. It is a statement of the Trinity and the basic teaching of the Church. One cannot be a Catholic without believing in the words of the Creed. We have two Creeds because the Apostles’ Creed is the early Creed it simply state what we believe God the Father God the Son God the Holy Spirit . . .the Trinity. The Nicene Creed does the same thing but in greater detail as we came to a greater understanding of the Trinity and the teaching of the Church there was a greater need to clarify what we believe as Catholics.

WHAT DO WE STAND UP AFTER THE HOMILY FOR THE CREED?

We stand up to proclaim publicly what we believe. We profess that we believe in God, in Jesus, in the Holy Spirit, in the Catholic Church, in the Communion of Saints, In the forgiveness of sins, and in life after death. The Creed is first and foremost a prayer, not merely an oath of membership, which professes the creative and saving love of God and how this has been revealed, experienced, and known in history. This is an opportunity to recommit ourselves to our faith.

PRAY FOR PEACE: The horrible violence that continues in our society reminds of why we need peace. We need the violence to come to an end. I invite you to join me every Friday to take some

time and pray for peace. It does not have to be long whatev-er time you may have let us spend it in prayer for peace. You do not have to be in church, although the church is al-ways available to you, prayer can happen anywhere you are. Let us just do this and use this great tool that the Lord has given us and make our world a place of love and peace.

Los invito a unirse a mí todos los viernes para tomarse un tiempo y orar por la paz. No tiene que ser mucho tiempo, sea cual sea el tiempo que hayan dejado que lo pasemos en oración por la paz. No tienes que estar en la iglesia, aunque la iglesia siem-pre está disponible para ti, la oración puede ocurrir dondequiera que estés. Hagamos esto y usemos esta gran herramienta que el Señor nos ha dado y hagamos de nuestro mundo un lugar de amor y paz.

and the day that is coming

will set them on fire,

leaving them

says the LORD of hosts.

But for you who fear my name,

there will arise the sun of justice

with its healing rays.
