Family Promise of Beaverton Many of you know personally that June through September has been a busy time for Family Promise of Beaverton. For those of you who like statistics, here are a few: 8 families have been served, comprised of 14 adults and 10 children

(8 under 5 years old) Average length of stay has been 45 days. 80% of families served have transitioned to stable housing. 876 volunteers served directly with our families giving 4100

volunteer hrs. 1167 volunteer hrs were by St. Juan Diego parishioners. We have raised funding from very generous donors to purchase a

larger trailer and van as the program attendance grew in size. We participated in the Annual Beaverton Parade and were awarded

1st place for the theme award. We have had a Day Center Open House in conjunction with our June

2nd Bed Races, and this last weekend we held our 2nd Annual Drive In - Sleep Out fundraising event.

Many St. Juan Diego parishioners have been central to all these ac-tivities and you thank you for your generosity of time, talent and treasure.

(Reflexión de la Segunda semana del Librito Garante sobre la Corresponsabilidad a la luz del Evangelio de Marcos)

por Gary Wilhelms

¿Ha notado el reciente énfasis sobre la Corresponsabilidad? ¿Su primer pensamiento fue sobre la solicitud anual para aumentar la cantidad de dinero que contribuye a la parroquia? Si es así, probablemente no está solo. Nuestro programa de Corresponsabilidad aquí en San Juan Diego es, sin embargo, mucho más que eso. Si ya comprende todo sobre que es la Corresponsabilidad, ¡eso es genial! Pero muchos de nosotros no lo estamos, probablemente porque no tenemos una comprensión completa o aprecio por la Corresponsabilidad. Por lo tanto, echemos un vistazo mas profundo sobre la Corresponsabilidad.

Es cierto que Jesús les dijo a sus discípulos que viajaran livianos. Eso no significa que las posesiones materiales sean malas. Estamos llamados a usar y disfrutar las cosas de la tierra, pero para hacerlo como buenos mayordomos. Es un desafío entender completamente nuestro papel como mayordomos cristianos. No debemos ser beneficiaros pasivos de los muchos dones que Dios nos da. Los mayordomos cristianos reciben los dones de Dios con gratitud, los cultivan de manera responsable, los comparten amorosamente y los regresan a Dios en aumento. Todo lo que tenemos proviene de Dios y realmente le pertenece a Dios. Somos simplemente cuidadores, administrándolo todo en nombre de Dios. Que tan bien estamos haciendo esto continuará como un tema de discusión y debate, pero la Corresponsabilidad nos da la oportunidad de hacerlo mejor.

Entonces, ¿cómo hacemos Corresponsabilidad? Sin duda, ya ha escuchado hablar de la generosa entrega de tiempo, talento y tesoro según las circunstancias, y eso es cierto, pero la Corresponsabilidad también implica proteger los recursos materiales y humanos y su uso responsable. La Corresponsabilidad es parte del estilo de vida cristiana y nos ayuda a comprender la forma en que vivimos. Pero hay obstáculos para la Corresponsabilidad. Una cultura secular puede contradecir nuestras convicciones religiosas. La Corresponsabilidad es una buena forma para luchar contra el secularismo. Cada una de nuestras vidas se desarrolla de manera diferente. Tiene sentido que Dios influya en todos los aspectos de nuestras vidas: nuestras habilidades, nuestra educación, nuestras relaciones, nuestra riqueza y nuestras posesiones. Todas estas cosas fueron dadas para que nos permitan hacer algo. Y, es cierto que algunos de nosotros terminamos con más que otros. Hace mucho tiempo, San Basilio dijo que algunos pueden tener más que otros simplemente para darles la oportunidad de compartir lo que tiene con los menos afortunados. Interesante pensamiento. Además, las personas son más importantes que las cosas, ¿verdad? Y la vida es muy corta, demasiada corta para ser agobiada con excusas.

Si, es fácil predicar a los demás que lo que cuenta no es lo que tenemos, sino lo que hacemos con lo que tenemos. ¿No deberíamos realmente estar pensando en el futuro, plantando la “buena semilla” lo mejor posible y aceptar la oferta del Señor para darle crecimiento? Me conmovió esta cita atribuida a San Gregorio Nacianceno que se encuentra en el Librito Granate, “Den algo, aunque sea pequeño, a aquel que esta en necesidad. Porque no es pequeño para uno que no tiene nada.” Compartir tu tiempo, talento y tesoro en el programa de Corresponsabilidad de San Juan Diego nos permite hacer esto colectivamente juntos como cristianos apoyado a nuestra iglesia y sus misiones.

¿Que estás haciendo con lo que te han dado?

Joy comes to those who live as Christian stewards.

(A look at the Second Week of The Little Burgundy Book on Stewardship in light of the Gospel of St. Mark)

by Gary Wilhelms

Have you noticed the recent emphasis on Stewardship? Was your first thought about the annual solicitation to increase the amount of money you contribute to the Parish? If so, you probably aren’t alone. Our Stewardship program here at St. Juan Diego is, however, much more than that. If you are already all-in on Stewardship, that’s great! But, many of us are not, likely because we do not have a full understanding of or appreciation for Stewardship. So, let’s take a deeper, maybe even a new, look at Stewardship.

It is true that Jesus told his apostles to travel light. That does not mean that material possessions are evil. We are called upon to use and enjoy the things of the earth but to do it as good stewards. It is a challenge to fully understand our role as Christian stewards. We are not to be passive beneficiaries of our many gifts from God. Christian stewards receive God’s gifts gratefully, cultivate them responsibly, share them lovingly and return them with increase to the Lord. Whatever we have comes from God and really belongs to God. We are simply caretakers, administering it all on God’s behalf. How well we are doing this will likely continue as a matter for discussion and debate, but Stewardship gives us the opportunity to do better.

So, how do we do Stewardship? You have no doubt heard before about the generous giving of time, talent and treasure according to one’s circumstances, and that is true, but Stewardship also involves safeguarding material and human resources and using them responsibly. Stewardship is part of the Christian way of life and can shape our understanding of the way we live. But there are obstacles to Stewardship. A secular culture can contradict our religious convictions. Stewardship is a good way to fight back against secularism. Each of our lives unfolds differently. It makes sense that God influences all aspects of our lives – our abilities, our education, our relationships, our wealth, our possessions. They were all given to enable us to do something. And, it is true that some of us end up with more than others. Long ago, St. Basil made the point that some may have more than others simply to provide them the opportunity to share what they have with the less fortunate. Interesting thought. Besides, people are more important than things, right? And life is short, too short to be weighed down by excesses.

Yes, it is easy to preach to others about it not being what we have that counts, but rather, what we do with what we have. Shouldn’t we really be thinking about the future, planting the “good seed” as best we can and taking the Lord up on His offer to give it growth? I was moved by this quote attributed to St. Gregory Nazianzen found in the Little Burgundy Book, “Give something, however small, to the one in need. For it is not small to one who has nothing.” Sharing your time, talent and treasure in the St. Juan Diego Stewardship program allows us to do this collectively together as Christians supporting our church and its many missions.
