Religious Education News

CATECHISTS NEEDED!!!!! For 1st & 7th Grades

We are in desperate need of catechists for our religious education program. We need committed, dedicated indi-viduals that enjoy working with children of all ages. You must be willing to attend bi-monthly meetings, attend classes to become a Certified Catechist in the Diocese of Orlando and must be able to pass a fingerprint and back-ground check that is mandated by the Diocese. Please contact Fr. Bart, Linda Jones or Olga Miyar if you are interested in this very special ministry.

For all who have suffered injury or death as a result of Hurricane Harvey, and for their families and loved ones, we pray to the Lord.

Second Collection

This weekend to benefit those who have been affected by Hurricane Harvey. Make checks payable to St. Jude. Donations will be sent to Catholic Charities USA to assist with relief.

The Eyes of a Child I frequently see signs on churches inviting everyone to come. Often they advertise that they are a contemporary, casual church. One thing that concerns me is that they do not add "challenging" to that description. Some peo-ple try to teach that since Jesus is risen from the dead, we should also be able to live that way: Rejoicing, but never sorrowing. But if we preach resurrection without the cross, we are acting like Peter in the Gospel. Peter had just proclaimed that Jesus was the Messiah, but he failed to understand that Jesus' mission was not to bring wealth and glory to Israel. Jesus knew that being messiah required him to give his life for all people. In a sense, Peter was tempting Jesus to avoid the painful death and use his divine power to bring prosperity. Like Satan's temptations in the desert, he wanted Jesus to take the easy way to glory. Instead, Jesus challenges us to deny ourselves. To-day this phrase is not very popular with those who say we should be free to satisfy all our desires, or with moti-vational speakers who say that everyone is able to achieve financial success and live a comfortable life. As long as we center our lives on our own pleasure and comfort, we are rejecting the cross. To deny oneself means to choose God's will over our own. It means to be willing to suffer for being honest. It means giving God the first place in our lives. It means we get more joy from serving others than serving ourselves. This is what Paul is talking about in the second reading when he says to offer ourselves as a "living sacrifice." Or as Jesus says, we lose our life for his sake, only to find it in loving and serving him. That is one reason I like the image of God as father. Parents will lose much of their freedom--and much sleep--when they bring a child into the world. But they find a new joy in the eyes of that child. We are all called to lose our selfish lives and find the joy of living for Jesus.

SIGUIENDO A CRISTO

Si alguna vez te jugaron una broma desagradable y algo risible a la vez, entonces comprenderás cómo Jeremías se siente hoy cuando le dice a Dios "me sedujiste, Señor, y me dejé seducir". Ya lo imagina-mos sacudiendo la cabeza con una sonrisa descon-solada, pero con el enojo latente en su voz. De igual manera, Pedro piensa que Jesús lo está "embaucando" cuando éste comienza a explicar que ser el Mesías significa sufrir y morir, y ser seguidor del Mesías significa cargar la cruz y hacer lo mismo. Jeremías trata de negar la voluntad de Dios para él al tratar de permanecer callado; Pedro -quien ha sido hecho cimiento de la Iglesia- totalmente niega la enseñanza de Jesús, por lo que hoy es llamado "Satanás". Por suerte para nosotros, Jeremías se llega a dar cuenta de que tener la Palabra de Dios en el corazón significa que será inútil tratar de permane-cer en silencio, aunque ello signifique el desprecio y la burla de los que te rodean. Felizmente Pedro al final volvió a la fe que profesó en el Evangelio de la semana pasada, y llegó a comprender nuestra nece-sidad, como bautizados seguidores de Cristo, de seguir su camino, aunque signifique seguirlo hasta la muerte.
