Live the Liturgy - Inspiration for the Week
The challenge we face today is to love as God loves. Often, our way of
loving differs greatly from God's way. Our way of loving can be
burdened with demands and expectations. When we love, we
sometimes seek love in return. Sometimes we allow our weaknesses
and needs to color how we love or taint love with conditions. Our
goal is to love unconditionally with boundless mercy.

MINISTERIO HISPANO HISPANIC MINISTRY
El Pasado Domingo 4 de Septiembre Cientos de miles de
personas se reunieron en la Plaza de San Pedro, donde el papa
Francisco canonizó a la Madre Teresa de Calcuta, la fundadora
de las Misioneras de la Caridad, la llamada madre de los pobres y
marginados de la sociedad.
La religiosa fue beatificada el 19 de octubre de 2003 por el
entonces papa Juan Pablo II. "Después de la debida
deliberación y oración frecuente para la asistencia
divina, y habiendo buscado el consejo de muchos de
nuestros hermanos en el episcopado, declaramos, a la
beata Teresa de Calcuta, Santa y la incluimos entre los
Santos, y decretamos que ha de ser venerada como tal
por toda la Iglesia", proclamó el Papa Francisco.
Después, durante la homilía, el pontífice habló de algunas
razones por las cuales Teresa de Calcuta fue elevada a los
altares. Explicó que a Dios le agrada toda obra de misericordia.
“Hoy entrego esta emblemática figura de mujer y de
consagrada a todo el mundo del voluntariado: que ella
sea su modelo de santidad”, dijo el Papa. El obispo de Roma
recordó como Santa Teresa de Calcuta se ponía a disposición de
todos por medio de la acogida y la defensa de la vida humana.
Al final de su mensaje, el pontífice hizo votos para que el modelo
de vida de Santa Teresa de Calcuta ayude a comprender que el
único criterio de acción de los cristianos es el amor gratuito,
libre de toda ideología y de todo vínculo, sin distinción de
lengua, cultura, raza o religión.
Formación para Adultos: El catolicismo es una forma
completa de vida. Pero hoy en día no es conocido. Muchas
personas que vienen a nuestras iglesias pueden conocer
diferentes aspectos de la fe Católica. Pero, ¿Cómo es que todo
se relaciona? ¿Y qué diferencia hace esto en nuestras vidas?
El curso, La Explicación de la Fe muestra el panorama general de la
fe Católica en una forma que nos ayuda a conocerla, vivirla y
explicarla a otros.
A través de una bella instrucción y videos profesionales, el
autor conferencista y teólogo Dr. Edward Sri conduce a un
grupo de maestros dinámicos que proporcionan una explicación
completa y simple de nuestra fe Católica.
Los invitamos a formar parte de esta gran experiencia, el cuso
inicia el 3 de Octubre y será impartido todos lunes de 5:30 a
7:00 p.m. en el salón de la Parroquia. Regístrese lo más pronto
posible para tener a tiempo su material de trabajo. Para mayor
información favor de comunicarse a la oficina con David
Hernández.

Fe ( RE ) darán inicio el lunes 3 de octubre. Regístrese ahora

Familias Para Cristo: : La familia es la célula de la sociedad
mientras que el matrimonio es la célula de la familia. Nosotros
creemos que si el matrimonio no marcha de acuerdo a los
designios de Dios, cada miembro de la familia sufre,
especialmente los hijos. Hoy en día, las estadísticas demuestran
un mayor porcentaje de divorcios y de matrimonios infelices e
insatisfechos. Los niños que nacen y crecen dentro de este
núcleo familiar disfuncional corren un mayor riesgo de
desarrollar adicciones peligrosas y de rodearse de malas
influencias cuando entran en la adolescencia. Familias para Cristo
ofrece platicas familiares y matrimoniales al igual que grupos de
apoyo o de compartimiento para cada miembro de la familia. En
estos grupos de apoyo, ellos podrán compartir con otras
personas que viven situaciones similares sus experiencias y
testimonios de vida. El grupo de Familias para Cristo se reune en
el salón de la Parroquia los días viernes a las 7 p.m.
Adoradores: Necesitamos urgentemente adoradores que se
postren ante Jesús para decirle cuánto lo aman, qué agradecidos
están de su misericordia, de su perdón, de su salvación. Que
estén dispuestos a reparar por todas las blasfemias, injurias,
indiferencias con las que Él es continuamente ofendido, y a
interceder por la salvación de todos aquellos que lo ofenden.
Debemos clamar al Señor por cada uno de nosotros y por la paz
del mundo entero. Rogar por nuestro Papa, por nuestra Iglesia,
por todos los sacerdotes, religiosas, religiosos y por el mismo
Pueblo de Dios.
Debemos estar dispuestos a ofrecer al Señor una hora a la
semana de nuestro tiempo (¡tan sólo 1 hora!) para transformarlo
en eternidad. Favor de llamar a la oficina (405) 359-2700, para
ver los horarios disponibles.
14 de septiembre en la noche: un renombrado orador
Católico, Trent Horn ofrecerá una charla para la formación de
