A Fun Week at Vacation Bible School !
The Beauty of Holiness
Most of the folks we know aren’t bad people, by
any means. They’re not hopelessly corrupted by
greed, sacrificing their children to their own ambitions, or cheating on their spouses. Most people we
keep company with are not cruel, careless of the
poor, bigoted, or addicted to power for its own
sake. But in the same way, most people we know
aren’t what we’d call “holy” either. That is, their
lives and choices aren’t centered on God and the
desire for goodness above all else.
But we probably do know some holy people, and
they’re marvelous! They seem to breathe the Holy
Spirit and seek God’s will as naturally as the rest of
us seek our next meal. They’re wonderfully kind;
not cynical or suspicious of others’ motives; not
quick to criticize or pass judgment. They show
mercy to people who don’t “deserve” it. They do
good not because they’re being watched, but because it gives them pleasure to do it. We want to be
like these people. As we watch holiness in action,
our hearts ache for it.
Where have you seen holiness in action? Where
can you create more opportunities in your life to
become holier?
—This Transforming Word
The month of August is dedicated to the
Immaculate Heart of Mary. The memorial of the Immaculate Heart of Mary
takes place on the day after the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, usually in June, but in this month when we
celebrate Mary’s Assumption (August
15) and her Coronation or Queenship
(August 22), we also give honor to her Immaculate
Heart. There are many prayers to the Immaculate Heart
of Mary. Here is one short enough to memorize and pray
every day during the remainder of this special month:
O Immaculate Heart of the Blessed Virgin Mary,
obtain for me from Jesus a pure and humble heart.
You are invited to attend
a performance of the play
PONDER
Friday, August 12 at 7pm
in the Parish Hall
Ponder, a new play written by
Sister Mary Dietz, will be performed by the actors of
Maryworks, as a one-hour dramatic reading. Ponder
takes a mature look at the challenges of faith. Based
on Our Lady’s annunciation and visitation stories in
Luke’s Gospel, we enter the home of two less
known persons: Elizabeth and Zachariah. Join us
to ponder the beginning of Mary’s story in anticipation
of her great feast of the Assumption on August
15th. Admission is free, but donations are very
welcome.

Our GOAL this year:
ALL parishioners tithing each week!
The Joy of Giving
Amount we need each week to cover parish operating costs:
General Collection, July 31, 2016:
Deficit for the week of July 31, 2016:
$7,155.00
$4,878.00
— $2,277.00
Building Fund—July 31, 2016:
$1,343.00
Jesus encourages us to build up our treasure in heaven. The world encourages us to build up our treasure in real estate, investments, and
material goods. How much time are you investing in building up a worldly treasure? How much time are you investing in building up a
heavenly treasure? To invest more time in the things of heaven, you must let go of some of the things of this world.

Nineteenth Sunday of Ordinary Time
God, the Father of mercies, through the Death and Resurrection of his Son, has reconciled the world to himself and sent
the Holy Spirit among us for the forgiveness of sins; through
the ministry of the Church, may God give you pardon and
peace, and I absolve you from your sins in the name of the
Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
These are the words of
absolution that every penitent
hears as his or her sins are
forgiven when going to
confession. What would a
Jubilee Year of Mercy be
without hearing these same
words ourselves?
God is the Father of mercies, and as a prayer in the liturgy
of the Church reminds us: “O God, who manifest your
almighty power, above all by pardoning and showing
mercy…” (CCC 277). He extends that mercy to us
constantly. No matter how far we have gone astray, no
matter how distant we feel, no matter what we have done,
God extends his mercy to us constantly in the confessional.
We need to hear the words of absolution in our lives
because we need the human confirmation of God’s forgiveness and mercy. Married couples know that they love each
other, but imagine how that knowledge might fade when
neither spouse speaks the words “I love you” any longer.

The One Who is Coming
The Lord came the first time in the humility of
Bethlehem. He will come again with glory and majesty
at the end of time which is the dawn of eternity. He will
come again on the morning of our eternity, at our death.
While awaiting the brightness of
that dawn, he continues to come
also at each moment of your life.
You have welcomed him with faith
and love. Keep open the doors of
your heart; he always arrives
unexpectedly.
The one who is coming is the one
who will always surprise you. He
surprises you like the unforeseen
coming of one whom you love.
The one who is coming is the one who loves you as no
one else can love you in heaven and on earth. He will
always surprise you, for to serve you, he took the apron
of a servant; he loves you “until the end.”
Kid’s Corner
The one who is coming is the one who keeps your
treasure in his hand. He will always surprise you, for he
will give a joy infinitely greater than one you could ever
desire or imagine.
Jesus tells us in this week’s Gospel that we should
work for those things that will get us to heaven.
The one who is coming is the one who lights the lamp in
your hand. He will always surprise you, for he will lead
you to the Kingdom of light where you will not need a
lamp because God will be your light.
—Father James M. Sullivan, O.P., Magnificat
The one who is coming is the one who welcomes you
into his house. He will always surprise you endlessly
since he wants his house to now be yours. For eternity.
Amen.
—God’s Word is Our Joy, by Lucien Deiss, CSSP

XIX Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario
Dichoso el sirviente que se
encuentra preparado
El evangelio de hoy nos presenta unas recomendaciones
que tienen relación con la
parábola del domingo anterior del rico necio. Es una exhortación a la confianza, expresa la ternura y protección que Dios ofrece a su
pueblo, pero expresa también la auto comprensión de las primeras comunidades: conscientes
de su pequeñez e impotencia, vivían, sin embargo, la seguridad de la victoria. La bondad de
Dios, en su amor desmedido, nos ha regalado el
Reino.
Lucas invita a la vigilancia, consciente de la ausencia de su Señor, a una comunidad que espera
su regreso, pero no de manera inminente como
sucedía en las comunidades de Pablo. La Iglesia
de Lucas sabe que vive en los últimos días en los
que el hombre acoge o rechaza de forma definitiva la salvación que se regala. Cristo ha venido,
ha de venir; está fuera de la historia, pero actúa en ella. La historia presente, de hecho, es
el tiempo de la iglesia, tiempo de vigilancia.
La predicación de Jesús invitan a la vigilancia y la
confianza. El punto clave reside en la invitación
“estén preparados”; o lo que es lo mismo, lo importante es el hoy. A la luz de una certeza sobre
el futuro, queda determinado el presente.
La vigilancia cristiana es inculcada constantemente por Cristo (Mc 14,38; Mt 25,13). La vida
del cristiano debe ser toda ella una preparación
para el encuentro con el Señor. La muerte que
provoca tanto miedo en el que no cree, para el
cristiano es una meditación: marca el fin de la
prueba, el nacimiento a la vida inmortal, el encuentro con Cristo que le conduce a la Casa del
Padre.
La intervención de Pedro, demuestra que la exhortación de Jesús sobre el significado de actuar
y perseverar en vigilancia es en primer lugar referido a aquellos que son “la cabeza” de la comunidad, o mejor dicho para los que “están al servicio”
de la comunidad. La resurrección a la vida depende del modo como ejercitaron ese servicio.
Para la revisión de vida...
Que es lo que valoras más, lo que me mueve
desde lo profundo...?
