Twenty-Sixth Sunday
in Ordinary Time
Dear Parishioners,
Our Prodigal God
We keep having to relearn how prodigal God is. It is as if God cannot
quite manage to say no. We think it is surely fine when God is prodigal with
us—rich in mercy and forgiveness, generous in grace. But what about the other—the enemy, the sinner, the heretic, the outsider? Well, we expect God to be
as stingy with that person as we are.
Moses and Joshua wanted such a cozy world, too. They wondered how
the spirit of God could be given to the two who did not show up at the meeting
tent—today’s church. And the apostles in the Gospel complained because there
were some miracle workers who were clearly not followers of Jesus. God’s
great free‑wheeling generosity confounded them all. Let this be, says Jesus. Just
see to it that you who lead continue to be worthy of your calling.
Fr. Wilfredo Contreras
Readings For Next Sunday
First Reading — The man said, “This one is bone of my bones
and flesh of my flesh; this one shall be called ‘woman’ ” (Genesis
2:18-24).
Psalm — May the Lord bless us all the days of our lives (Ps128)
Second Reading — He who consecrates and those who are being
consecrated all have one origin (Hebrews 2:9-11).
Gospel — Whoever does not accept the kingdom of God like a
child shall not enter it (Mark 10:2-16 [2-12]).

Middle School Day Rally 2016
Fr. John Gerth
Team Priest and Speaker
Being from Florida has its
"ups" and "downs." The
"Up" side is the sun and
getting to meet people
October 16, 2015
from all over the world who
come to visit. The "Down"
side is the heat and those pesky hurricanes that keep us on our toes.
Even though my state has it good times and bad, my faith has been
blessedly always a safe haven that has never abandoned me. From my
earliest life I can see memories of being in my local parish, being formed
by my experiences of holy Priests and Religious, as well as the prayerfulness of my own family.

group at Franciscan University which performed regularly throughout her
three years on campus.

LA MISIÓN DE LA PARROQUIA DE STA. MARTHA
Nosotros, la parroquia católica de San Marta, somos una parroquia diversa y mul cultural en Miami Shores, Florida. Como una
vibrante comunidad católica de la fe, tratamos de estar más cerca de Dios a través de la adoración, la oración, los sacramentos,
la formación espiritual, la comunión y la hospitalidad. Fortalecidos por el Espíritu Santo, vamos a proclamar la buena nueva de la
salvación en Jesucristo a fin de hacer discípulos y servir a nuestros hermanos y hermanas con nuestro empo, talentos y tesoros.
A través de nuestra evangelización en palabra y obra, nos esforzamos por ser la luz del mundo.
Estimados Feligreses
Nuestro Dios Pródigo
Nos toca volver a aprender una y otra vez cuán pródigo es
nuestro Dios. Es como si Dios no pudiera decir “no”. Por supuesto, que
estamos de acuerdo cuando Dios es pródigo conmigo—rico en misericordia y perdón, generoso con su gracia. Pero cuando se trata del otro –
¿el enemigo, el pecador, el hereje, el excluído? Pues entonces queremos
que Dios sea tan tacaño con esa persona como yo soy.
Moisés y Josué también querían un mundo así de conveniente.
Se preguntaban cómo es que el espíritu de Dios se había posado sobre
los dos que no se aparecieron a la reunión –la Iglesia de hoy. Y los apóstoles en el Evangelio se quejaron porque habían unos haciendo milagros
que en definitiva no eran seguidores de Jesús. La extensa y libre generosidad de Dios los confundió a todos. Que así sea, dice Jesús. Por su parte,
ustedes que guían a otros, continúen siendo dignos de su vocación.
