Looking for a Few Good Men and Women Are you seeking a way to serve your parish and to thank God for His goodness to you? We need your help to care for our beautiful parish, in particular, our sacred and beautiful Church. We are hoping to form a “Guardian Ministry” group who might gather for prayer on Thursday and Friday evenings in the upper church, perhaps from 6:30 to 7:00 p.m. After prayer it would be their responsibility to make sure the Church is secure and to lock up for the evening. This would require mature men and women who can make a firm commitment and understand that this would be a sacred trust.

Les aseguro que yo soy la puerta de las ovejas No sólo a Juan, el discípulo amado, le has mostrado la puerta abierta del cielo. Públicamente has dicho a todos:”Yo soy la puerta: si alguien entra por mí, se salvará”. Pero si nosotros que estamos en la erra vemos la puerta abierta en el cielo, ¿para quién será si nosotros no podemos subir allí? Pablo responde:”Aquel que sube es el mismo que bajó”. ¿Quién es? El amor. En efecto, Señor, el amor que está en nosotros se eleva hacia allí, porque el amor que hay en ha descendido a nosotros hasta aquí abajo. Porque tú nos has amado te has abajado viniendo a nuestro lado; amándote, nosotros subiremos a . Como tú mismo has dicho: “Yo soy la puerta”,te pido que nos abras para mostrarnos más claramente el lugar del que eres la puerta; ya hemos dicho que ese lugar es el cielo; el Padre vive allí. Por eso nadie va al Padre sino por , que eres la puerta. Maestro, ¿dónde vives? Contesta: “Estoy en el Padre y el Padre está en mí.” Entonces tu morada es el Padre, y tú eres la del Padre. Pero esto no es suficiente, porque también nosotros moramos con go y tú en nosotros. Come, Holy Spirit!
