Our homebound parishioners are an integral part of our parish and are in communion with us, even though they are not physically present. We need your help to tell us about any members of our community who are shut in or sick. Please give the parish office a call to let us know if there is someone who is sick who would like a call or visit from Fr. Bart, a Deacon, or the Ministers to the Sick. Thanks

TESTING TESTING TESTING

Often it can seem as if our faith is being test-ed. We can be asked, like Abraham, how much we are willing to sacrifice in obedience to God's call. Abraham appeared willing to sacri-fice his most precious gift, his son, Isaac. Abraham went so far as to take the knife with which he could have ended his son's life. But God did not ask that of him. God asked only that he be willing and that he continue to listen. In Mark, it is the disciples who are tested to understand the vision that they are given of Jesus, visibly transformed from an rdinary man like themselves to beloved Son of God. Peter, impulsive Peter, speaks and plans an action. He is rebuked and told to listen. The test is not about action. The test is to listen.

PROBANDO, PROBANDO, PROBANDO

A menudo se puede ver como si nuestra fe fuera probada. Se nos puede pedir, como a Abraham, cuánto estamos dispuestos a sacrificar por obedecer la llamada de Dios. Abraham parecía desear sacrificar lo más preciado que tenía, su hijo Isaac. Abraham casi toma un cuchillo con el cual podría haber terminado la vida de su propio hijo. Pero Dios no es lo que le había pedido. Dios le pidió solo que él estuviera dispuesto y que lo continuará escuchando. En Marcos, son los discípulos quienes son probados para entender la visión que se les ofrece de Jesús, visiblemente transformados desde un hombre ordinario, como ellos mismos, al Hijo amado de Dios. Pedro, el impulsivo de Pedro, habla y planifica una acción. Él es reprendido y se le pide que escuche. La prueba no es sobre la acción. La prueba es sobre escuchar.
